Okay, so if I want something to scrape an RSS feed and turn it into a daily
LJ/DW post, how hard is that going to be? Anyone got something handy that
I can kick off on a daily basis?
Or a service they could recommend?

You can do stuff like this:
Car porsche = new Car("2FAST", "red");
ofy.put(porsche);
and then retrieve it with:
Car car = ofy.query(Car.class).filter("vin", "2FAST").get();

If you use it, you might want to take out the hack that means it never mentions religion in the post titles and you'll need to tell it your password a different way (mine comes from an XML file I use to configure the backup tool).
