Last month, I bought a new domain. Unlike my other domains, this time I have domain with my own name: thomasarie.com. When I firstly registered it, I didn’t have any intention to create another blog. I already have too many. My plan was to create a lifestream.

The term lifestream was coined by Eric Freeman and David Gelernter at Yale University in the mid-1990s to describe “…a time-ordered stream of documents that functions as a diary of your electronic life; every document you create and every document other people send you is stored in your lifestream. Lifestreams are also referred to as social activity streams or social streams. [source: Wikipedia]

If you visit thomasarie.com, you should see a single page only. You can see recent posts from my videoblog, personal blog, our Flickr photostream, Twitter, and also Posterous. I don’t use WordPress or any other complex tools to create this single page.

Instead, I use SimplePie. SimplePie does the tasks. Why SimplePie? Simple, because for the page I deal with RSS feeds.
