*sigh* all the fun I miss. Just because I suck at Photoshop. - Spidra Webster

do not like. :P (hey i thought about you today while looking at lego star wars stuff... so... when are we swapping lego for tim tams?) - Trish Haley

*wheezes* - Penguin

bwahahahaha - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど

News Headline - 6 year old releases dad's experimental balloon, and hides in garage, after seeing image of Josh Haley and friend visit local farm. - Mike Nencetti

I wonder if he has seen this yet... - Johnny from iPhone

IT TAKES TWO, BAYBEE! - Joe Silence

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA! - Josh Haley

GYARHGL - Mo Kargas

hahahahahahahahhahaha.... This is too funny! - Angels In Action

Balls! Hey give it a name! - Kevin J Hatton

Sharing is caring! - caj

That is happiness in hand. - EBJT

s/caring/scaring - Joe Silence

First of all. THIS. #joshhaleybomb - Micah

Bump - Rodfather

No, Rod. Two bumps. Count 'em. - Stephen Mack

Mark: D.A.N. stands for "DO ANYBODY NO," yes? - Stephen Mack

We share exactly the same feelings about Twitter. - Tom Awtry

I mostly agree, but to play devil's advocate, I would say you could improve your skills by attempting to create a coherent statement in 140 characters. And I mean a statement with out IM type abbreviations, and stuff like that. - Michelle M

That is true Michelle, but I focus more on getting the message across then lyrical gymnastics. I'm commenting on a hockey fight at 12:30am, not writing Shakespear or haiku :) - Johnny from iPhone

And the worse thing is, if you aim to get retweeted (which seems to be the circle-jerk currency of the day) you have to take into account your username etc... - Johnny from iPhone

Fair enough, Johnny. - Michelle M from iPod

Text messages were limited to 140 characters. Twitter was built to utilize the SMS structure. It has evolved since that time, but the limit remained. - Heather Solos

The SMS limit is actually 160 7-bit characters, as specified in GSM 3.40 back in 1985. Twitter reserves 20 characters for your name. Many if not most phones support more now e.g. splitting longer text into multiple messages, but I think if you want to maintain compatibility with *everything* that uses SMS, you have to stick to 160. - Ken Sheppardson

140 character limit is rubbish. Thank goodness for FriendFeed! :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I actually enjoy the challenge of having to prune down a thought into grammatically correct sentences for Twitter. It's like writing a haiku. - Akiva

+1 Akiva. It's fun trying to find just the right words and structure to say what I want to say succinctly enough for Twitter. When I really, really can't, then I switch to FriendFeed. But Twitter makes you focus on what's really important about what you want to say. If I taught composition, I'd use Twitter in my curriculum. - Jandy

Akiva, I love haiku like no one's business but it's a bitch to hold a conversation in... Some statements just don't require or warrant that level of craftsmanship. - Johnny from iPhone

As if our vocabulary wasn't atrocious enough?? You have to wonder? - Angels In Action

Ahhh...I like this post :) - WoH: Minding her Steves

"Mr. Citrano was less reserved in his response..." - Anthony Citrano

Less reserved. Because you are in the right, so no need to have reservations! - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

The undercurrent in the article is very interesting - they stick to the facts but the intention to poke fun is very clear. But nothing they could get sued over, obviously :) - WoH: Minding her Steves

Yeah, I liked the jokesy vibe; I think it brings in the sense of the ridiculousness that is needed when things get way too serious. I know Moore's image is her livelihood, but it isn't Anthony's fault (or anyone else who pointed it out) that it wasn't policed properly for this cover. That lies with W, Moore, and her agent/publicist/etc. - Jennifer Dittrich

I agree with Jennifer! If photos weren't photo-shopped in the first place we would not be having this conversation! Aren't there more important things going on in the world? Oh I don't know, poverty, world hunger, a depression, our environment! - Angels In Action

@Angels: wrong. This isn't about retouching. But I give up on trying to explain that to people. - Anthony Citrano

Angels, the point of this is not that's it's photoshopped, it's the denial and legal kafutzing by one side when it is noted by another side that all is not right. There is protecting one's image and then there is flat out douchebaggery when cornered by evidence. - Johnny

Is that it Anthony? It's not the shopping, it's the reaction to someone pointing it out. - Johnny

From @acitrano on Twitter this morning: "People: this is NOT about retouching, NOT about Demi. This IS about freedom to speak (esp. truth) & opine w/o being bullied. #Hipgate" - WoH: Minding her Steves

.... I don't like seeing people trying to bully their way out of a situation of their own making, which is why I think it's an important issue. - WoH: Minding her Steves

correct Johnny & WoH - Anthony Citrano

I can't stand it when people hire lawyers when they have no "leg" to stand on. That is so damn obvious, you would have to be blind..... - Martha

So, Anthony, what happens next? You demanded a public apology from their camp in your response posting. Is there a timeline to when they must deliver it? And what will you do if they do not? - Cole Jolley

Cole: ideally they apologize, disavow this practice, and we move on. this whole thing has been quite taxing, and I'm looking forward to a resolution - Anthony Citrano

No doubt better than comparable in some areas. - Michael W. May

I think that human communities try the best they can with the tools they have available. I am glad that someone is taking this approach to studying health care in other traditions - I think we all have something to learn from one another. - Jennifer Dittrich

*salute* - Mo Kargas

I like it, but I think it doesn't go far enough. The telephone allows you to communicate. But when you hang up the phone the call is gone. The internet has persistent objects that can be manipulated, so it is also about cooperation and collaboration. - Neil Kandalgaonkar

Technology sure makes that communication much easier, though. Long live Friendfeed! - Josh Haley from iPhone

FWD: @scobleizer - directeur

I always thought the Internet was for porn. At least that's what I learned one year at SXSW. - Robert Scoble

Robert, you still owe us (me and Joge) $5000, btw ;-) - directeur

I think porn falls under the connecting people with shared interests and needs. ;-) - Brian Sullivan

Hmmm -- I think saying the" internet is not about technology, it's about the communication" is like saying driving is not about the car, it's about the journey. I like John Dupuis' way of putting it -- the communication part was an emergent property -- Michael Neilson has interesting things to say on this topic, too, but I've gotta dash so I'll link later. - Mickey Schafer

YAY, I love the internet. Couldn't agree more. GLOBAL unfettered communication amongst all peoples, socio-economic class, philosophy, etc. is what it's all about; whereas, the technology is there to support the communication layer. THAT is very important in the DESIGN of Information Systems. - Susan Beebe

The following (wild) question just dawned on me: If in 1440—the approx. year of Gutenberg's press—a global electronic network had magically emerged instead, A) What purpose would the power structure at the time deem for it, and B) How would it actually be used within the first few decades? Hundred years? - Micah

Eric, :) yes, that youtube vid is a classic. - Micah

Any relation to Bret? :) - April Buchheit

Neil: different communication formats have varying values for similar properties, such as bandwidth, delay, and rate of decay - Mike Chelen

Neil: Good point about persistence, except that Twitter has objects called tweets that last only about 7 days ;) - Alex Schleber

Alex: one compensating strength is that posts are publicly web accessible, allowing them to be independently mirrored - Mike Chelen

High communication: words. Medium communication: pictures. Low communication: grunt, poke. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo

Internet = TV + Radio + Books + Newspapers + Magazines + Telephone + Soapbox + [add your medium] = Media melting pot - Ciro Villa

Actually, the Internet may be about the incarnation of cosmic consciousness, and may not be primarily about anthropocentric intraspecies communication. I only half jest -- sometimes species are only vehicles that don't necessarily understand their function in the big picture, or what they are birthing. With the Internet, one senses something trying to pull itself together that is bigger than human. - Sean McBride

let's say it again: it's. com. mu. ni. ca. tion. :) - Alberto D'Ottavi

+1 Mike Chelen; to Ciro, Alberto -- conflating function, social value, and technology diminishes the ability to understand what the "internet" is/does/could be, etc. The internet is not portable; certain technological devices are. The infrastructure that supports portability is inconsistent; radio rarely is. It's very difficult to "listen" to books using the internet; the internet is... more... - Mickey Schafer

I agree with you 100% - The connections made here can't be made anywhere else! The transparency and accessibility of people, good people, is prevalent! - Angels In Action

I didn't read all the comments above, but I don't think it's just communication. It's also about knowledge, data, availability of knowledge and data. creativity, etc... I'm afraid with this situation of lots of social networks people are a bit too preoccupied by the community-factor. Internet is more than that. Please don't forget that. - Ton Zijp

To Mickey: 1. "The Internet is not portable; certain technological devices are." splitting hair...Give me the Internet without the "technological devices" as you call them. 2. "The infrastructure is inconsistent..." Video is video, audio is audio...otherwise the TV is also inconsistent and so is the radio and books, I digress on this one. 3. " And I believe it is actually important to... more... - Ciro Villa

Ton, I agree! Ciro -- As someone who teaches undergrads who have to use technology and the net, I can't afford to be blithe about "they can if they want to". One of my interests is the relationship between discourse and behavior, so for kicks, I conducted a survey last year to get a feel for how students related to tech developmentally. One overwhelming result was that sometime during... more... - Mickey Schafer

I don't agree. Technology IS COMMUNICATION. Please consider W.J. Ong's Orality & Literacy or Pierre Levy's essays. Our literacy is still evolving and that's possible just because we can write (and communicate) with different technologies. So... Nice quote indeed, but wrong. - Matteo Balocco

Bruce: language, art, and gestures are all forms of communication technology, each of which can be used to greater or lesser effect - Mike Chelen

Internet is technology, great and simple technologies which work well and so you can focus on communications stuff - @zaps

Mickey: internet access may not yet be a universal commodity like paper, yet this property can shift rapidly in degree, redefining its qualities. regarding user expectations, to some extent this may be addressed through improved software design, for example google docs automatically save every few seconds - Mike Chelen

Matteo: is that different from saying that all communication is a form of technology? - Mike Chelen

Mike, I'm afraid it is different. While communication is a natural competence shared by all the living beings, technology is just an optional layer for just a niche of them. So we may say that all the technologies carry some informations (and we must consider them communication) but certainly not all communication is a form of technology. - Matteo Balocco

However we agree that this is nothing more than an academic discussion. The quote by Taylor is still really good for some slideshows. :) - Matteo Balocco

İnteresting..! I think Google Reader is very usefull app - ★ Soner Gönül

Can't wait to get the Lists feature enabled! Very good post! - Gerardo Capetillo

Adopting Twitter for news reading is a huge commitment to read instantly all news (bc they don't archive, right?). It's insane ... But yes gReader is too heavy. - N.G. Gordon - RadarSync from iPod

I just don't understand how you process all those tweets per day. I'm sure lists make it easier. Personally, I like the static nature of Google Reader because I can quickly scan folders by date-time or feed and then mark things with a star if I want to read them later, quick notes on shared items, etc. And of course all the shared stories post here on FriendFeed then Twitter. Normally I keep FF up all day but just began with threadsy and I confess it's got me looking at my Twitter stream MUCH more. - Ankush Narula

What about using feedly, Robert?? - Roberto Bonini

but even on twitter you must be missing things - ffcode

funny... cause i still read your blogs in reader... its got its place... tracking rss feeds from youtube, photography sites etc etc etc... if people want to follow what you write, you should not have to write your blog AND post the link to twitter... redundant! and will make twitter even noiser! why not let people pull at their leisure... the two things are for different times of the... more... - simran

i am still wondering how can you read so many tweets and then those links to articles wow - ffcode

Robert, my favourite news reader, NetNewsWire started using Google Reader for synchronization and it's a failure. I now get most of my news via FriendFeed and Twitter. - Khürt Williams

Re Point 8. Check out "RSS Flash G" iPhone GoogleReader App. It lets you share, from iPhone, like a good thing, supports FaceBook, Twitter, Delicious, Instapaper and of course all googlereader sharing facilities are there too. These are two entirely different methods of discovery they both have their uses. But sharing from GoogleReader on the iPhone is EASY so I hope that takes care of point number 8. - JSLeFanu

ffcode: actually on Twitter I miss very little. Why? Retweets and repetition. And, we always have TechMeme as the big net! - Robert Scoble

I just got Lists so i haven't had a chance to really get to grips with it, but I think the problem Robert is that you're trying to apply your usage cases to everyone else. I use Reader in a different way to the way I use Twitter. Just like I use FriendFeed differently to Twitter or Reader. - Eoghann Irving

I guess if you are recycling tweets don't need GReader, if you are munging petabytes via Yahoo Pipes, than GReader will pull stuff fresh off the press - Robert Higgins

Eoghann: over and over in my career I've been told that I'm not like everyone else, but then everyone else behaves like me only about a year later. So, see ya next year! - Robert Scoble

Robert: ahh, yeah, I guess Yahoo Pipes is one thing that might keep me on Google Reader -- if I used it. I'm going to delete everyone on my Google Reader account and start over. It's so freaking slow that it's totally useless, even for the few things I could see some utility for. - Robert Scoble

Robert, it doesn't *always* happen like that. Sometimes it's two years. :-) - Bruce Lewis

Robert, that's a silly argument. If you make enough predictions (and you make them daily). You will of course sometimes be right. But you are not always right. FriendFeed? - Eoghann Irving

Eoghann: I was right about FriendFeed. It's just that Twitter and Facebook are now going to turn into FriendFeed. Just watch. Twitter's new RT feature looks a LOT like FriendFeed's likes. - Robert Scoble

Eoghann: but I get where you're going. By the way, 50,000+ followed me here. So, something about FriendFeed was interesting enough to sign into it. - Robert Scoble

well, you certainly helped make it interesting. But at first, I didn't really understand it's value proposition vis-a-vis Facebook. And now, with things like ping.fm, is it's value really that much? Not sure - I mainly use it for the tray functionality so I can keep up with you, Mrinal, and Danny. Otherwise, I'd completely get behind your posts. - Arthur Coleman

Arthur: FriendFeed's value is static, while the others are rolling out new features. So, for me, it's better to bet on Facebook or Twitter. But FriendFeed will be better for things like live conversations or real time search for quite some time. - Robert Scoble

I love FriendFeed. But I don't recommend it to everyone else. For a lot of my offline friends Facebook is a better fit. Again I come back to the fact it's not one size fits all. - Eoghann Irving

I prefer accessing Google Reader via feedly. - Nils Sandin

Well I tend to miss many important things on twitter.. not my fault. .. time zones differ and so do the times articles are published and linked on twitter ... On my google reader they always stay .. i can check them when i want .. so twitter better than GR? .. yes for breaking news .. not for general articles .. - Amit

Amit: on Twitter they always stay too. It's just that Twitter has a lot more flow. But now with lists you can cut down the flow. - Robert Scoble

Robert: I agree they stay. but it is not difficult to lose them in all the tweet flow. i know lists allows you to cut down the flow, but not if lists has many twitters added to it. I want to read what you write more than what you share and I do not want to miss those articles. Google Reader will always remain my first preference for that.. - Amit

Google Reader certainly is trying to become more social, but for me too the experience is an awful lot like keeping up with email - needs daily management, pruning, to get information out of it. I freak out thinking I've missed an article, therefore dread trying to keep up with reader. I get that using Twitter makes news reading about the here and now, and frankly if it's important it will be tweeted for days to come. I think the notion of getting news from Twitter is a good one, particularly with lists. - Mark Aitken

And for the record, I'm keeping off Wave until it feels less like email too. Currently it's a very messy and exhausting experience to use. - Mark Aitken

Twitter with Lists has become my defacto RSS reader. - Rubin

Just opened my co twitter account & was invited to "create list", I like the way you have broken it down!! I might just organize mine this way, to also include, clean energy, smartgrid, energy management etc. Thanks for a great post!! - John Tastad

Amit: again, if you use lists you DO NOT HAVE TWEET FLOW!!! How can I make you guys understand this? Make a list with five people on it. Your flow will go to nothing. - Robert Scoble

still waiting on lists... am not in love with GR... folder heirachy and speed drive me nuts... - andy

Got list!! It's gonna make organizing specific followers by categories so much better and following specific tweets easier!! Customized information at your finger tips.. - Angels In Action

Is your issue against google reader or rss feed readers in general? I find my rss reader is an invaluable resource to get great information - Pavan

I think it depends where on the wave of info you want to be. I want to create it, others will ride it. I find the stories with tools in addition to reader, then distribute them via Twitter, Facebook, etc. Hopefully, first then others on those social services will find them interesting and talk about them, distribute them and retweet them. If your content with the crowd being a filter for you, I think your right on. - Andrew Acomb from iPhone

Robert I just the funny thing you do not like anything Google does this days, I am actually starting to wonder if you are Anti them. First you hate Google Wav even though their are not enough people on in yet to make it worthwhile and now Reader. I really wonder sometimes. - Rob Cairns

this is totally off the subject, but i have been noticing more and more heavy hitters on Posterous: is there something i'm missing....i just don't know if i can keep up with yet another social networking site, but am i missing out? - Steve Borgman

Very nice! - Anika

thanks! my roommate got her name from poe's "the raven" so she's always had a special affinity for ravens. - Jessie

Nice.. red tornado! - Jason (not an Argonaut)

lol actually it's supposed to be this guy: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped... we're both huge fans of the show. - Jessie

;) I guess I can see that too - Jason (not an Argonaut)

Cool! - Anne Bouey

AWW! I love the Evermore one! And Avatar and a kitteh too! - Soup in a TARDIS

The beak is actually the N of Nevermore (not Evermore). "Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." but it was pretty difficult to carve and thus, I suspect harder to see in the photograph.) :-) Glad you all liked our pumpkins. We had fun doing them. (In case you guys didn't figure it out, I'm the roommate. LOL) - Lennie

LOVE the avatar one! I called my boys over to see and they were so impressed. Then they walked away singing the theme song. - Trish Haley

very impressive! - Sheila Taylor

haha thanks trish! my roommate has the theme song as her ringtone so we hear it a lot here, too. - Jessie

LOL @Jepsen - Anika

Very, very impressive Jesssie - and the photos probably don't do them justice - I wish I could see them in real time and space (spooky setting I hope. A very well spent weekend and I am glad you are putting your Bouey DNA artistic talent and hard work to good use. Kudos too to your roommate - you two make a good team! I hope you have a lot of fun this Halloween. - Jack Norris

Hey they are amazing pictures. Good job! I am sure it's not for eating. XP - dominic

Wow, Nispell, I was beginning to think you were a bot! Glad I was wrong. - Alex Scrivener

aw, such a good fam pic :) Primus is too cute. - Sascha Wasek

I have had the goatee since high school, which makes it the longest-lived facial hair among my friends. Too many people dabble, but good facial hair requires dedication. - Alex Scrivener

Nice looking family!!!! Cute baby!! :) - Angels In Action

I do. http://www.firehousemoustachewax.com/ - Alex Scrivener

Ok. Now. The dog paw in the mouth? The claw on the lip? Um. I draw the line just a hair before *that*. But I get the cute. I do. - Ms. Nakachi

everyday. I never wear eye makeup - RAPatton

i look like half of KISS when i go out. i'm learning to spew fire from my mouth and lick the ceiling, too. *tunes bass and puts on batwing platforms boots* - Joe Silence

Everyday. - Anika

always (well, except for my goth periods) - Tinfoil 2.0

Only when I don't leave the house. I can't live without eyeliner. - Mary Carmen

All the time. I'm not a makeup kind of girl. - EricaJoy

Everyday. I'm not a makeup gal, either. - Rochelle

you girls are beautiful do you really need these "rat in flour stuff" - ffcode

I cant go without makeup, pale skin and blonde eyelashes mean that I look like I have piggy eyes if I dont have any makeup on.. - Kim

thats really sweet ffcode, but I'd like to think I do it effectively enough so I dont look like a 'rat in flour' :)) usually when I say to my friends that I cant go w/o makeup, they usually comment "but I thought you werent wearing any" (could be flattery ofc but I'd like to believe I have genuine friends ;)) - Kim

"Rat in flour"? I have never heard of that phrase. - Rochelle

everyday of my life - Tony C (Unrated) from fftogo

almost every day - Kelly W.

Yep. - joey

yes, I do. - Bren

All the time. :-) - Dan owns Comicsforge.com

Sometimes, behind shades!!! :) - Angels In Action

Depends on what day it is. - Steven Perez

most of the days I just use eye-leash , I really like it - Viva Vida

Eye shadow (brown or purple) and eyeliner every day to work and usually on weekends. I am old and wear glasses. Invisible but helpful mineral makeup too. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

Never wear it myself. Maybe I should start though. What do you think my congregation will think? - Friar Will

A touch of eyeliner never hurts. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed

"Eye-leash"? That sounds dangerous. - Rochelle

I only wear makeup when I perform, when I have a date in a nighttime situation and Halloween. In other words, about once a year. - Spidra Webster

Most of the time. I like looking like I have eyelashes (they're nearly invisible without mascara), but my eyes are pretty sensitive :( - Jennifer Dittrich from iPhone

I do all the time - Fried Curdys from iPhone

Only if I'm not going out. - Bonnie Foster from iPod

Yes. - Mellissa

i know a lot of women stuff now after reading those comments ;) - ffcode

unless I'm "going out" I usually do go without make up - MicahBear78

fantastic! - Mary Carmen

Lovely sketches as always! - John (bird whisperer)

Thanks, everyone! Time for me to shift venues. Laundry night. See everyone on my netbook in a few! - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Your sketches are always so amazing! I feel like I was just initiated into a special club or something, hehe. - Penguin

Wow. That is AMAZING. Very talented, you are :) - LANjackal

I second that emotion. Portraits are so hard - to capture the likeness, and the mood! - Mary B, VALUE author

Also, what a great discipline to draw every day . . . - Mary B, VALUE author

I struggled to come up with something that would motivate me to draw every day, and FF turned out to have the answer! As I've said several times, I'm scared of what will happen if it disappears one day. I want to have at least a year's worth of sketches before that happens. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Kamilah, I can't tell you how much I look forward to your sketches everyday. These are so beautiful. - Ha3rvey (F please!)

kamilah do you have a photoblog to show your works? - ffcode

LOVE -- Seriously Kamilah you need to have a professional site these are amazing! I would honestly love to buy the original sketch that you did of me. Let me know if that is possible! - Nicholas Kreidberg

Thanks, Ha3rvey. @ffcode, I have accounts on several services which I guess you could call photoblogs (Tumblr, Flickr perhaps?, Posterous), but I haven't shared any artwork on them yet. Are you suggesting that I use one of those services? Is there a preferred one to use? @Nicholas, the original is part of my sketchbook and is very small-scale (only about the size of a 3x5" index card). I might try to redraw it on a larger scale and see if I can still capture the mood of the picture. Might that work? - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

i think wordpress' AutoFocus theme would be great, can host your site on my server if you need ;) you are a gifted artist - ffcode

I wouldn't mind doing that. Is there an easy way for me to get started with it? (Also, Nicholas, can you see my answer?) - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

Yeah you can have a free blog at wordpress/blogger/posterous/tumblr or posting these works at flickr and there are a whole lot of free services for hosting your works and if you would like to have your own domain then you would have to buy it,which then can be hosted free on blogger etc - ffcode

Kamilah: That would work marvelously! Only if you have the desire / time, you can always email me too: niczak@gmail.com. Anyway just keep on drawing as you are AMAZING and bring much joy to peoples lives :) - Nicholas Kreidberg

Looking into that Wordpress Autofocus theme now. It looks good. Hope I might have a proper blog/website at last soon (beyond my FF "blog", of course. Only StumbleUpon compelled me to update with as much frequency as FF has). - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

lol @Higlet. I'm normally not a big pumpkin fan, but this looks really yummy! - Anna Haro

I can't really complain because hubby made THE most delicious pumpkin pie and if I reached into the fridge I could get another slice...brb - WoH: Minding her Steves
