While iTunes does a decent job of managing MP3 enclosures in news feeds (pod-casts), iPhoto could really do with similar functionality. I have my iBook randomly choose images from an album in my iPhoto library and it would be fantastic if I could get iPhoto to automatically download pictures from some of the fantastic sources on the 'net. Sites like Botany Photo of the Day provide some amazing images.
I'll see if I can figure out how to do this over the summer as my first piece of mac software.
I had a quick go at knocking this up with Automator, but it didn't work very well as I can't seem to get Safari to extract the image URLs from an XML feed and most interesting sites have a bunch of junk images as well (Flickr, for example, has heaps and heaps of blank GIFs for spacing).

Books To Read
I've decided that I'm going to try to read everything nominated for the Booker Prize. The short list shouldn't be too much trouble (most of the books on it look interesting enough) but I imagine that there'll be a few boring books in the long list. We'll see how I go.
