There is some­thing I’ve wanted to do for a long time, that is to import RSS feeds into Google Cal­en­dar.  The best rea­son I have to give you for want­ing to do this is incre­men­tal time track­ing and being able to pin­point (not account­ing for RSS lag) when an event took place.   This would allow me to have a truly com­plete cal­en­dar pic­ture of my life.   Unfor­tu­nately none of the RSS to iCal con­vert­ers I’ve played with seem to be able to work.    There are also very few of these tools.  I have even tried Yahoo Pipes with­out suc­cess (so this truly is a pipe dream).

I read an arti­cle online that stated if you had an iCal feed as an input, then you could get iCal as an out­put in Yahoo Pipes.  It seems how­ever if you take an iCal feed and com­bine it with an RSS feed (my cheater logic to get around Yahoo’s gat­ing) it will not give you iCal as an output.

Does any­one know of a way to feed data into Google Cal­en­dar either through (opti­mally) RSS or via e-mail?   I can hack around and con­vert each RSS mes­sage to e-mail and feed it in, but it seems Google Cal­en­dar only likes reciev­ing mes­sages via SMS (much hard to hack around for my needs).
