[O'Reilly Radar > IMDb API??]
Radar Tim asks
O'Reilly Radar >What you would do with an IMDb API? Funny to get this question just some days after I thought about my need to log my whereabouts. I don't remember what movies I saw and when. I don't remember what books I have read. I don't remember the name of the wine I drank to the outstanding fish dish in a nameforgotten (starting with R?) brilliant London restauarant the easter 2005. I need to log it somewhere. And I don't mean writing about it - just a log entry saying that I did it. I will need it 4 years from now. What I would like to have is some kind of unified web and handheld interface which I easily can tell:
tonight I saw Underworld: Evolution,
yesterday I drank Gobelsburger Riesling 2004 which was excellent to curry cod with rice,
this summer I read A second chance at Eden by Peter F. Hamilton or
in June I saw Porcupine Tree live at Sweden Rock. To make this happen nice APIs to imdb and allmusic would be nice. How to make the book and wine thing happen I have no idea of. Haven't found anything resembling an Internet Wine DataBase yet. Lets pray for it to emerge in the future.
