I think Scoble is right about Friendfeed finding its second wind next year. Yeah, it's niche and a bit of a geek tool, but a good tool, it is.
I wouldn't be surprised if people adopted it for its aggregation and search features only. You'll see a lot of people pulling in data but not participating. - Akiva Moskovitz
Agreed. Just yesterday my boss was asking "what is lifestreaming". He's interested. And Akiva, that comment was valuable just for the use of the word 'aggregation'. I'll pull it for "use that word in a sentence" the next time I use "aggregation" :) (sometimes tired of explaining its meaning...but only sometimes, usually patient) - Melanie Reed
Yeah, it really shines in that way. FF offers superior aggregation and very natural conversation, for those who want it. I still find a dedicated RSS client more efficient for the way I work (I use Fever). But it's close, and would meet the needs of a lot of people. FF is a great hub to tie together your other SM outposts. - Chris Baskind
I like his method - come up with 20 or so predictions, and if one hits everyone says "Scoble was right!". Its been a great conversation tool, but an even better one for aggregation. But until more people understand what this is, and how useful it can be, it will remain shy of mainstream (for this purpose) outside of the geek crowd. - jcunwired
Chris, Amen! "FF is a great hub to tie together your other SM outposts" - Melanie Reed
I'm usually the last one to say "Scoble is right!" Here, though, I think he's correct. SM is getting complicated, if you use more than one service. FF helps tie them together. There are other ways, but this remains a pretty elegant solution. - Chris Baskind
I love FriendFeed and truly hope Scoble's right!!! :) - Susan Beebe
Robert said that? *checks date* Oh yes, I suppose it was about time to swing back to FF being great again...#tryingnottobeahumbug #failing #notcaring - WorldofHiglet
hahahaha - Chris Baskind
Actually, I remember Robert ranting that FF was going to die because it wouldn't be actively developed anymore. It looks to me as if they might use FF to test features that might find their way to Facebook. I replied that the shovel hasn't changed much in the past few years, and people still use it -- because it works. It's well-suited to the job. So here I am, giving FF a whirl again.... more... - Chris Baskind

Yummy! Rumors of Amazon taking over Netflix making the rounds. My AMZN shares should be happy.
Netflix is looking to move more of their servers to the cloud this makes sense. - Uncle CW™
:D - Caroline
I love that I started by Amazon shares back when the stock was under $50/share. :D - Chrimmus Tad from fftogo
Also Netflix will be opening their instant stream service internationally next year so again, makes sense. - Uncle CW™

Young men are embracing the “Mad Men” elements of style in a way that the older men never did, still don’t and just won’t. The result is a kind of rift emerging between the generation of men in their 20s and 30s and those in their late 40s and 50s for whom a suit was not merely square but cubed, and caring about how one looked was effeminate. - Derrick

There are a LOT of Kate Gosselin "swept bangs in the front with a hot mess in the back" hairstyles in Vegas. #bitchlips #forshame
Too bad you just got your hair cut, D. You 'd look awesome with a Gosselin. - s t e v e
Another reason for me to avoid Vegas. - Mark "DerBingle" J
Well I *am* growing it out, Steve. - Derrick from iPhone
I just got my hair cut like that, Derrick. (No, I didn't.) - joey
My favorite Vegas hairstyle is the two toned layers. Blonde on the top layer, some other color underneath. - EricaJoy
ZOMG, EricaJoy NAILED it. Vegas really is interesting, but I think two days is really enough for most people. I'm about to take a nap and I'm kicking myself for not bringing a book. - Derrick from iPhone
I hate Vegas. I can't handle that much stimulation. I think Vegas is definitely for extroverts. - Baroness Von SmashAHomie
Erica, I've never understood why blonde girls like to dye their roots so much. - Akiva Moskovitz

I've finally had some time to mess around with Thunderbird 3's search feature and it's definitely neat, flexible, and useful. It appears to be about as quick as Gmail's search and it presents a results screen that's definitely more useful. I like seeing the frequency and how hovering over people and folders overlays that subset's frequency.
I'm impressed but there's still some more work that could go into it (and this is where Postbox excels). For example, I'd like to be able to hover over attachments in the search view and see what they are rather than having to bring up e-mail individually. It'd also be nice to be able to select messages to generate narrower sub-searches. Lots of potential here, though. - Akiva Moskovitz
Something I don't like is that you can't use Google-style search filters by directly typing them; instead, you have to use a drop-down menu. So, I can't quickly just type 'subject:whatever from:whatever'. - Akiva Moskovitz
Something else is that it doesn't seem to know what the heck Chats are. I regularly search for things from chat logs and these don't seem to appear anywhere in Thunderbird. (Ah, and a search tells me it's because Google doesn't make those available through IMAP. Bad Google! Bad!) - Akiva Moskovitz
Another problem: it's not smart enough to realize that if I mark a message in my inbox as read, it should also be marked as read in the all mail folder. It's either not doing this or not bother to update it. It's irritating to see that I have an unread message in All Mail when I know that I have none. - Akiva Moskovitz

In an obvious attempt to appeal to a younger, hipper, more fashion-forward demographic, Lucasfilm has collaborated with New Era to release a series of Star Wars-inspired 59Fifty baseball caps. The geekdom includes 20 variations–everything from the classic Star Wars logo to Yoda to the ridiculous Chewbacca version. They went on sale yesterday, and range in price from $80.00-$100.00. Head over to New Era Japan to pick one up, and to ensure you’ll never get laid again. Unless you do, in which case you’ve found your soul mate. - Derrick

Im sorry but if I saw someone wearing the C3PO hat, it would be SO on. - EricaJoy

Tim Tebow, wow. You play with your heart? You totally deserve another Heisman for that, except for the fact that you didn't have a particularly great game this past weekend.
I think he got invited to pump up the viewership of the Heisman ceremony. Most of the candidates didn't have eye-popping years; thus the inviting of Tebow and a total of five possible winners. I think Gerhart should get it, but think McCoy will be the recipient (lifetime achievement award). - JA Castillo
I cannot abide by Gerhart. (I'm from Cal, and I've always loathed Stanfurd. He's had a good season, but Stanfurd's not even going to the Rose Bowl!) I'm hoping for Suh. I have a thing for defensive players though. - Kendra <3 Three Lions

If I could convince Sophie to power-knead my shoulders and back instead of my stomach, she'd make a great massage-cat. As it is, I just end up with paw-shaped bruises on my stomach. Sadly, she doesn't seem to be trainable or interested in learning a new trade.

"The turn of the twentieth century was a dark time in America. The Women's Christian Temperance Union, which had been promoting Prohibition for many years, believed alcohol was the cause of many, if not all, social ills. Mistruths like this were spread. Lines were drawn. Bars and taverns were vandalized. People were killed. On January 16th, 1919, Congress passed the Volstead Act, outlawing alcohol and ostensibly putting an end to drunkenness, crime, mental illness, and poverty. Ironically, America's thirst for alcohol increased during Prohibition, and organized crime rose up to replace formerly legal methods of production and distribution. While proponents of Prohibition argued that the amendment would be more effective if enforcement were increased, respect for the law diminished and drunkenness, crime and resentment towards the federal government ran rampant." - John (a.k.a. dendroica) from Bookmarklet
"On December 5th, 1933, Utah, the final state needed for a three quarters majority, ratified the 21st Amendment, repealing Prohibition and restoring the American right to a celebratory drink. While the amendment still allowed for state and local levels of Prohibition, by 1966 there were no state laws banning alcohol." - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

Blu-ray Review: Inglourious Basterds (Special Edition) (2009)
Blu-ray Review: Inglourious Basterds (Special Edition) (2009)
"Inglourious Basterds must be seen to be understood. Trailers, word of mouth, and reviews (yes, even this one) cannot possibly convey the intricacies of its script, the prowess of its performers, or the harrowing atmosphere of its unforgettable scenes. I cannot express how spectacular it all is. To my relief, Universal has treated Tarantino's masterpiece with the utmost care. While its supplemental package leaves something to be desired, its video transfer is a faithful, filmic stunner and its DTS-HD Master Audio track is a rousing, enveloping achievement. Not everyone will adore Tarantino's latest as much as I did, it can be quite divisive in its departure from convention, but it comes with my highest recommendation." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

SmartWool Wintersport Skulls Socks
"When boys heading out to play in the snow are given a choice between wearing nice warm woolen knee socks, or awesome socks with skulls on them, guess which one they’re going to pick? Luckily for him, these SmartWool Wintersport Skulls Socks ($15) are both. With just enough elastic and nylon to hold them up, and flat toe seams that won’t poke or bunch, these socks provide the warmth and comfort he needs for any outdoor winter activity." - Derrick from Bookmarklet
I had to look these up and see if they came in men's sizes, cause...kinda want. - Derrick
I spent $1 on skull socks for the kids at Target. $15 for kids socks sounds outrageous, no? - Admiral Anika
Anika, these are some kind of fancy wool, smart technology sock situation that probably is overkill for LA, but I don't know. It's not like I'm going to get them. - Derrick
SmartWool socks are absolutely wonderful! Warm, don't shrink, and last far longer than socks generally do. But yeah, probably overkill for LA. - Kirsten

Yes it is - it is great food priced right, IMO. Hopefully the one by you will play music as good as the one near me! - Kurt Starnes
We go once in a while for lunch to the one near work, but they must've just put this one in recently. It's now the closest quick-serve restaurant to me. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
I've only had Chipotle once but it was good. My favorite aspect of it was that the guy serving me noticed my kippah and warned me that the pinto beans had bacon in them and recommended I go for the black beans instead. It's always remarkable when people are thoughtful; especially strangers. - Akiva Moskovitz

"A 45 rpm adapter (also 45 rpm record insert, or 45 rpm spindle adapter) is a small plastic insert that goes in the middle of a 45-rpm record so it will play on a turntable. The adapter could be a small solid circle that fits onto the bottom of the spindle (meaning only one 45 could be played at a time) or a larger adapter that fits over the entire spindle, permitting a stack of 45s to be played." - Derrick from Bookmarklet
