Blogging over iCal

Morbus Iff has been doing some really interesting things with Apple's iCal and Movable Type. Here's the O'Reilly entry that describes how to publish your weblog into iCal-compatible format.

>From his own weblog, Movable Type blog-to-iCal implementation.

Another thought: since iCal is scriptable, one Ben could write an AppleScript (see below) to gather the latest events in your calendar and publish them to a blogging system via XML-RPC.

Update: Here is an AppleScript called iCal2blog to publish events in your iCal calendar(s) to your weblog via XML-RPC. The README contains usage instructions. Note that you'll need to modify Movable Type slightly to allow setting the Authored On field through XML-RPC methods--instructions on doing so are also in the README.
