Looks cool, but 1700! I can keep up with like 10 blogs. Which of these should I even try to look at? These entries need some meta data. Like I don't care about a blog on Objective-C but I will read a SQL Server blog...
I think it's meant to be a collection to feed in to machine learning system? Maybe? Agree that the format isn't terribly human friendly....
Hmm creating metadata for this, with all the URLs already aggregated wouldnt actually be that bad.
Would be great to just subscribe an RSS reader to these and see a single unified feed. Oh, wait.
This is kind of crazy but I'm looking for this fascinating blog I found ages ago via HN. It was someone who was posting their father's diary online, as a blog -- he was an engineer and kept a diary, which was full of fascinating minutiae. Does that ring any bells for anyone? No worries if not, I'm finding this blog hook or by crook.
Haven't seen that one, I'm looking for an old school watchmaking site with a link page to dozens of amazing suppliers of tiny fasteners. Found it through HackADay once...

Was it the one where his father was a retired doctor or something like that and he, the son, just blogged the things his dad would say through out the day? Actually as I type this, I think it was a twitter account. Either way, it was hilarious. I'd love to find that again.
Not exactly -- his dad had died, and he was posting pages of his diary on a seperate blog to his, I think. His dad ( I think it was a father-son relationship) was a retired engineer, maybe something academic too. Thanks for the lead.
