Yahoo Pipes KidLit Pipe

I finally got around to messing about with Yahoo Pipes (as opposed to messing about in boats; plug classic literature here: “`Nice? It’s the ONLY thing,’ said the Water Rat solemnly, as he leant forward for his stroke. `Believe me, my young friend, there is NOTHING–absolute nothing–half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Simply messing,’ he went on dreamily: `messing–about–in–boats; messing—-’” The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame).

So here’s the result (Note: the pipe output may take a moment to appear; I’ll also be posting a larger version on its own page under the Books Buzz tab for those miss out on this post; I decided not to post it on the main page as it increased page load time significantly):

My pipe is fairly rudimentary; I figure now that its created I can continue to revise. So feel free to comment if you have ideas regarding pipe alteration, for example, suggestions about feeds to add, filter additions/subtractions, or otherwise.

And now with the pipe created, I am heading to the great outdoors to take a walk. Using my own powers of ambulation is no boat ride, but still, it is outside activity and it is a beautiful day :).
