If this were to happen, I don't think I'd even consider buying cable again. - Allen Hutchison

Checking e-mail before your morning coffee? You're not alone - http://arstechnica.com/web...
How about before you even get out of bed. With the iPhone I usually read email and feeds for 20 minutes while I wake up. - Allen Hutchison

Talking with real estate agent in California. Time to start looking for a house.
Which area(s) are you looking into? - April Buchheit
Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Gatos, Saratoga - Allen Hutchison
Oh wow, those areas are definitely in my neck of the woods. - April Buchheit
Good luck, by the way. Let me know if you'd like a referral for real estate agents. I just happen to know a very good one who's very familiar with the Palo Alto/Menlo Park/Mountain View and another who is also good and is very familiar with the Los Gatos/Saratoga area. - April Buchheit
Thanks we're really looking forward to moving back to the Bay Area. Three years in London has been fun, but looking forward to getting home. - Allen Hutchison

@koshur_butteh My work permit is expiring, and the UK has gone protectionist on new visas. The rules change on Tuesday, I no longer qualify.
This just sounds ridiculous. Hopefully this is an unplanned side-effect of a bad rule change. Is there no exceptions? - Knut
The only exception is if I can get a masters degree before May 5. There is a slim chance that I can apply for a new visa under the old rules if I can get all of the supporting evidence together before Monday. - Allen Hutchison

Quicken Online Can’t Believe Mint Is Doing So Well; Sends Threatening Letter - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Maybe Quicken should focus on making their own site work instead of hasseling others. I tried Quicken before I switched to Mint, and found that it couldn't talk to my bank. I filed a bug report, they said that they fixed it, but when I checked again it still didn't work. I gave them two chances. That's one chance more than most customers will give a web service. Glas I switched to mint. - Allen Hutchison

The iPhone Pro looks awesome, but lose the keyboard - http://venturebeat.com/2008...
I have to agree with VentureBeat. I don't think the iPhone needs an attached physical keyboard. I do think it needs a better camera. I also think it would be great if I could use a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone for those times when I want to do a lot of typing. - Allen Hutchison

Fairpoint Pledges To Violate Net Neutrality - http://tech.slashdot.org/article...
Cases like this show how important net neutrality really is. There is really nothing (except for irate customers) to stop ISPs from doing this. The more insidious application of these technologies is to silently downgrade the service to your favorite web mail provider, while encouraging you to use the ISP's mail instead. - Allen Hutchison
Holy shit. My impression is that the incoming Obama FCC folks have just been waiting for concrete evil like this to bring the hammer down. Wow. - Christopher Sacca

Giant rubber band has ACME possibilities - http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008...
I don't know what, exactly, I would do with a six foot long rubber band, but I'm sure I can think of something. - Allen Hutchison

This week is off to an alright start. Only 4 more days to go. It will inevitably go pear-shaped somewhere in there.
I'm always amazed at how you stay so positive. - Allen Hutchison

My wife made me canvas for Obama; here's what I learned | csmonitor.com - http://www.csmonitor.com/2008...
There has been a lot of speculation that Barack Obama might win the election due to his better "ground game" and superior campaign organization. I had the chance to view that organization up close this month when I canvassed for him. I'm not sure I learned much about his chances, but I learned a lot about myself and about this election. Let me make it clear: I'm pretty conservative. I grew up in the suburbs. I voted for George H.W. Bush twice, and his son once. I was disappointed when Bill Clinton won, and disappointed he couldn't run again. I encouraged my son to join the military. I was proud of him in Afghanistan, and happy when he came home, and angry when he was recalled because of the invasion of Iraq. I'm white, 55, I live in the South and I'm definitely going to get a bigger tax bill if Obama wins. I am the dreaded swing voter. - Sheila Taylor from Bookmarklet
A very thoughtful perspective. - Sheila Taylor
Touching article... - Bret Taylor
Excellent! - AJ Kohn
Great article. I really liked the last paragraph, "I've learned that this election is about the heart of America. It's about the young people who are losing hope and the old people who have been forgotten. It's about those who have worked all their lives and never fully realized the promise of America, but see that promise for their grandchildren in Barack Obama. The poor see a chance, when they often have few. I saw hope in the eyes and faces in those doorways." - Allen Hutchison
I love this. I also love that it is pretty lacking in politics. It's about what one person, with a very unique point of view, saw and felt. - Jason Toney
Awesomesauce! - Alex Scoble
Thanks for the share. - Roberto Bonini
Sheila, if you put quote marks around the first comment then people will know it's a quote from the article and not your remarks. - Michael Muller
great share! - Jess Lee
Thanks, Michael, good suggestion! - Sheila Taylor
To follow up on Michael, if you select a portion of text, then use the "share on friendfeed" bookmarklet, it automatically copies the highlighted text as a comment, with quotes around it. The article was good too. I think it is great that people are excited about the election. Though I will also be excited when it is over. - Robert Felty
Thanks, Robert, for the tip! - Sheila Taylor

"I'm sure you aren't personally a bigot. But yesterday you did vote with the bigots, and yesterday the bigots appear to have prevailed. You and the bigots whose cause you support appear to have won." - Allen Hutchison from Bookmarklet

Trying to be optimistic about an Obama administration and not get too down about Prop 8 passing.

Libor hits a 4-year low and the market is poised to rally! Seems Wall St. is bullish on socialism.
No, the market hates uncertainty more than anything else. - Glen Campbell, esq.
