Imagine an enterprise public friendfeed lifestream-just the fact that u would need one means it's a solution to consolidating all yr profiles (content), which means enterprise social computing would be fully acculturating. A public enterprise friendfeed would be the pulse of the firm-every online interaction (doc,wikipage,blog...
The first one is the Hawaiian furniture set. Making the textures for the furniture was fun.

Lindsay - it's like SIMS... but for real life purposes. WOW Thank you SO much for sharing.
- Mona Nomura
Thanks, Pete... These were done last year about this time. I miss getting to do graphic design stuff AND programming.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
And you actually got to use it... on the Surface - play with it... I mean wow. I am so utterly blown away. God I love the technology. I love FriendFeed. and I LOVE THE INTERNET!!
- Mona Nomura
LOL @ Mona! It wasn't that big of a deal after a while... it takes a while to get used to using it because we're trained not to touch screens and muck them up with our finger prints... And touch screens are usually pressure sensitive... the Surface is not. To get the best results you need to make sure as much of your finger is in contact with the surface as possible (so the readers can recognize it), but you press very lightly.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Like the iPhone! Seriously, this is better than meeting Prince Charming. Lindsay, I am in TOTAL geek p0rn heaven right now.
- Mona Nomura
The stuff that took the most time to make was all those little icons at the bottom of the first screenshot. I learned a lot about drawing with Photoshop's vector tools on those. :)
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Yeah, I'm very glad I got that opportunity. I happened to be in the right place at the right time under the right circumstances. I actually did a good bit more graphic design than programming on that project and that's just not something I usually have the opportunity to do.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Take that, Apple! ;) Also, my previous comment does not do this justice. Lindsay, this is awesome *and* amazing.
- Pete Delucchi
@Josh - Brain surgery... rocket science... oh, and that weird roll thing people do with their tongues.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
LOL @ Pete - You know what's funny... my first drafts were kind of subdued and conservative... We had some meetings with the Surface team and they wanted it to be bumped up and colorful. That was actually hard for me to do... just go wild with pretty colors. :)
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Wow. I had one of these! I remember typing "LOAD" and then finding something to do for a half-hour while I waited for the game to load... or while I waited to flip the cassette over. :-)
- Ladybug Heather
I had one of these. I was just talking to my husband about this and that demagnetizer that came with the computer. And how my mother insisted that when not in use, the cassette player sit ON TOP of the demagnetizer.

I remember taking 45 minutes to load Telengard on the Commodore 64.
- Mike Reynolds
Telengard!!!! My first true gaming addiction *chuckle*
- Michael W. May
from twhirl
Ah yes... Telengard and MULE. Those were the days!
- Ladybug Heather
Holy nuts. Telengard. Forgot all about that one. I also used to play the crap out of the Temple of Apshai.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Goodness I've not seen that for some time. I remember it well!!! All those 8 bit games!!
- Paul
The pinnacle of C-64 addiction wasn't reached for myself until the disk drive and Loadrunner, Bard's Tale, and the original Sid Meyer's Pirates!
- Michael W. May
+++ Akiva for Temple of Apshai... on the Vic-20, loaded from the Datassette, one side at a time.
- Ladybug Heather
Ah, I really liked Wizardry (1-3) and the Bard's Tale series. Played them all on a Franklin 1200 (Apple ][e clone).
- Akiva Moskovitz
I adored the Scott Adams adventure games for the Vic-20. Two-word commands, first word had to be a verb. They were awesome. I know I found all 13 treasures in AdventureLand, but never all in the same game.
- Ladybug Heather
Possibly my favorite Commodore 64 game (other than Infocom's stuff) was The Castles of Dr. Creep from Broderbund. I played that game more than any other.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Where did this come from, Zee? who took it?
- anna sauce
ACK! Two of my least favorite critters in one photo. No thanks!!! Hiding!!
- Fa La La La Lindsay
***amendment***no idea Anna, found via digg - but looking at the comments...it looks like i'm wrong, the snake was already dead. Sneaky bastards... :P
- Zee.
I didn't see the link to Digg, just the site
- anna sauce
no no, i didn't imply that you had...i just meant looking through the comments on digg - thats what i discovered. Here's the digg link if ur interested: http://digg.com/pets_an...
- Zee.
Ok, sorry, Zee, but I'm hiding this one....freakin' me out each time I scroll down and see it. :::shivers:::

My uncle was bitten by a Brown Recluse... alot smaller and less flashy, but packs a poisonous punch.

Wow, I haven' t hidden this one, yet. You guys may be curing me. Those of you who are frightened of clowns might try looking at pictures of clowns preparing their meals!

It would be nice to be able to dislike posts and comments too.
- ComicList
It could be as simple as clicking on the talk bubble, and it increases saturation as it gets more Likes. Mouse-over could indicate the timestamp and the number of Likes. That leaves only an indicator of people you've subscribed to... that could be handled by the border of the bubble or some other indicator. Darker bubbles... more Likes... stand out from the crowd.
- LogEx
I don't see the value of liking comments. If I approve of a comment, I simply reply to it with a +1 or something like that. OTOH, I don't see the harm in liking comments. OTOH, I dislike disliking comments -- there's enough ill will on the Internets already. Disliking will also lead to confusion -- if I see a great article that sheds light on a revolting event, do I "like" the item because the article is good, or "dislike" it because the subject matter is something I disapprove of?

Sean - I agree. There will be cloud pitches. But the specific phenomenon of network effects...I don't think that will sell with enterprises. Other factors will drive decisions about cloud computing in the enterprise market.
- Hutch Carpenter
Interesting continuation on Tim's post. There is another issue for entreprise to put data on the cloud: legislation.

My name was pretty safe until Leo Laporte started http://army.twit.tv. Some wanker grabbed my name on me, which was a first. I've been using it for about 5 years without much in the way of conflict.
