Even though I've seen these cakes and have even attended a few divorce parties, it seems like an awful waste of energy and kinda sad.

A.. divorce party? As in "OHH YAY OUR MARRIED LIFE FAILED!" party? WTF
- Mo Kargas
Yes. The people are like, "I signed the papers, let's go celebrate". There's always a sort of desperation to it, so it just makes me sad. I can see having a few close friends over for support, but treating it like a bachelor(ette) party strikes me odd.
- Admiral Anika
Weird. I guess if it has taken a really long time, I could see wanting to mark it somehow, and that's less destructive than drinking a whole bottle of scotch, or lighting a bunch of pictures on fire...

What is the ideal number of 30" monitors, ignoring cost?
Никита Васильев, Jimminy, Yann Ropars and 34 other people liked this
For a moment there, I thought Al Gore had decided to go into radiology.
- Victor Ganata
Well, let's see... the Apple 30" is 27 inches wide, and standard ergo recommendations says you want a viewing distance of 20-40"... 6 would give you a polygon with a 23" viewing distance... 7 would give you you 28"... I'd say 7. Actually 14. Two "rows" of 7.
- Ken Sheppardson
It's really the 360 degree chair/desk rig that's the hard part, btw.
- Ken Sheppardson
Doesn't that leave you stuck inside, Ken?
- Tim Tyler
I too thought it was Al Gore & a post about his many computers' effects on global warming!
- beersage
I think the right number ignoring cost is the same as the right number including cost -- the massive energy consumption exerts downward pressure, just like the cost. But now the ideal number of 30" monitors if you ignore both cost and the effect on the environment...well I still think it's 1. Doing what Al Gore's doing here, to me, is like sitting in the very front row of the movie theatre.
- j1m
30" monitors are very effective internal wall insulation.
- Bernie Goldbach
I think maybe a 10' high by 30' wide wall of them would be about ideal. I can't decide if I would want the wall to be linear or circular, though, or what kind of seating choices I would like.
- ⓞnor
He should convert all those books and papers in his office into electronic format. Use his bookcase as a monitor wall with nine 30" monitors. A setup like this would rock: http://friendfeed.com/imabone...
- imabonehead
Put some of them on a hinged or sliding wall and the trapped problem goes away.
- Andrew C
I just hope his computer desktop isn't as messy as his actual desktop.

I am only staring at two at the moment... (actually 2x30"+23"+20")
- Paulo Gaspar
I was thinking of some sort of turret-like setup where you climb up into the ring of monitors... or better yet: hydraulics
- Ken Sheppardson
Yes, ideally you'd want something that would make Professor X jealous. Maybe they could fold down from a petal-like ring arrangement from the ceiling.
- Andrew C
Aha... or think Darth Vader meditation chamber.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, now I'm picturing Al Vader surrounded by monitors, hilarious!!
- Lo is a Quitter
I'd say 3. Anymore and you'll start neglecting one of them.
- Mr. Gunn
Whoa—check out the flip chart!
- Glen Mistletoe
Empirically speaking, zero. I've stopped plugging my laptop into my 30" monitor at work. All the windows get messed up. Plus, I have this theory that sticking to a single laptop screen helps me focus better.
- Jim Norris
Fighting climate change one flat screen at a time. Just think how much power he is saving when he turns it all off to go out. Does he have eyes in the back of his head or is the TV on just because he hates polar bears?
- John Cooper
Jim, I agree with you. When I had two monitors, I used one for actual work and the other for mail, friendfeed and other distractions. I do prefer using a 24" screen to my laptop screen.
- Gary Burd
@Jim, personally, I find that my laptop screen is too confining. I plug into a 23" LCD at work. I use the LCD for TextMate and a couple of Terminals, then I keep a browser open on the laptop for testing and search. That works really well for me. If all I have is my laptop screen, I spend a lot of time Alt-TABing between apps.
- Jason Huebel
Why get 30" monitors when you could just get a couple CRVD monitors (since we're ignoring cost, and all)? http://www.ostendotech.com/crvd...
- Curtiss Grymala
I've settled in on a 3-screen setup: Center (24") has 2-4 terminal windows, either half of 1/4 of the screen each; Right (22") has a Chrome window, IM, and often a couple more terminal windows monitoring processes or logs; Left (20") has either media player software or live.twit.tv in a Chrome window :-)
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken - Are you using any special software to organize the windows on your screen? I'm using a 30" monitor at work as my main screen and my 17" laptop screen as my secondary. On the 30" screen, I use a proggie called WinSplit Revolution to split my screen into sections. It's a lifesaver. Keyboard shortcuts automatically move and size the focused window to any portion of the screen you choose.
- Curtiss Grymala
No, Curtiss. I've tried different apps over the years, but nothing ever really clicked. However, I just discovered that the Windows key plus arrow keys in Windows 7 will now resize windows, e.g. Win+Left expands the window to the left half of the screen, Win+Left again moves it to the next monitor, etc.
- Ken Sheppardson
Nice. That's kind of the way winsplit works, except it uses ctrl+alt. Ctrl+alt+left moves window to left monitor, ca+rt moves to right screen. It also uses ctrl+alt plus any key on the number pad to move the window to any quadrant/half of the screen.
- Curtiss Grymala
from iPhone
OMG. His secretary must hate him.
- Kate Schmidt
The ideal number is as many monitors as he needs to lecture us about saving the environment.

Tricky question. Nothing else out there has this feature-set, and AFAIC that's the killer, I use FF because it's the best platform. Maybe some people drifting away since the sale, but OTOH there are new people joining. My buddies Nat and Brent from Calgary both joined around the time of the sale and have both really gotten into it. I have more discussions here than on Twitter, and I think that's true for a lot of people.
- Louis Simoneau
And @Scoble: the fact that you don't get 12 000+ followers on FF makes it less attractive to social media marketing types, which actually makes it BETTER as a platform for meeting and interacting with real people.

I have to excuse myself for not being very active for quite a while: I was being busy organising the Dutch Bloggies.

Me, Jerome? Yes, I'm in there, but I use Wave for my job (it's GREAT for it), not as a social network. To me it's not and it wont be a SN.

lelapin until now I've only used Facebook to share personal stuff to real-life friends. 95% of my home stream is made of friends' photos and status updates. Pushing public and serious content may be perceived as spamming by my friends, right now :)
- Jérôme Flipo
I agree with Jerome regarding the "spam issue" on FB. Moreover to me that's not the target for serious discussions. It's sad, but I talk about cultural level...
- Luca Gianneramo
There's definitly a lack of a tool, be that on Facebook or Friendfeed for that matter, that would allow one to adjust the 'volume' one would accept to get from one's friends. This said 'spam' might be too strong a word for something coming from one's friends, don't think? It is like unsollicited e-mail, is it?
- lelapin
Oh cool, Luca! But I hope you'll manage to use it for work and leisure, if it takes off.
- Jérôme Flipo
Absolutely, lelapin. But most of my friends don't differentiate spam from bacn :)

What do you use Facebook for?
- Jérôme Flipo
I use it basically to share articles like I do on FF or Twitter. Now I don't expect much comments from there and I try not to engage in conversations on FB knowing nothing can be synched and agregated outside FB which is THE problem I have with FB. Other than that, I have several pages there since it is admitedly the most popular platform these days.
- lelapin
Meh. No one answered my question: "who's using Facebook à la Friendfeed?"
- Jérôme Flipo
Read a couple of comments above please, I asked you what you meant by "a la friendfeed"
- lelapin
From my experience, à la Friendfeed = "pushing public and serious content" while the Facebook style consists in "sharing personal stuff to real-life friends".
- Jérôme Flipo
in that regard I use Facebook a la Friendfeed. Twitter is actually the platform I favour for, like you worded it, pushing serious content by mostly retweeting. Whenever I come across something, be that originally from a tweet or other sources, I generally Tumblr it, Stumble upon it, Digg it, [insert all kind of SN] it and, because I wired Facebook and Friendfeed so as to allow...

Jérôme : I try more and more to use facebook like you describe that. Many reasons push me to do so : I have more and more non-IRL friends there (even my next employer...), and I also see more and more senior people there who are more likely to use fb in a serious way.
- Stanislas Jourdan
For the moment it is still (too) quiet on my wall, but sometimes there are some good discussions still. I believe that more and more people will engage discussions there, but the shift will be very slow.
- Stanislas Jourdan
However, people like you who want to have great discussion on your favorite topics, i'm afraid will be disappointed for a long time... Wave might be a better place for that IMO.
- Stanislas Jourdan
Indeed. I just need a way to push Facebook updates only to some people (and better policies, and better interface, and better content aggregation functions, and....). I think "group updates" is already available to US-based users (meanwhile, we have "groups" where you can set up a visibility level to your content).

I have this talk with myself every other month. I hate having to kill myself trying to make enough money just to rent an apartment in the Bay Area, but there are some things about living here that I just can't give up. Yet.
- vicster
I always told myself that if I moved from the Bay Area, it would be because I'm moving out of the US. However, getting more and more disabled has made it so I need to move back in with my parents. I'll miss LOADS of things here but I won't miss the crime, crime-enabling PC attitudes and dirtiness.
- Spidra Webster
Two close friends of mine left the Bay Area for these among other reasons and moved to Portland. It may be the best thing that ever happened to them, after the birth of their child. :-)
- Kevin Fox
If I were having children, the high cost of living here would not be the biggest problem. Far bigger is the crime problem and bad public schools.
- Spidra Webster
What do you mean by crime-enabling PC attitudes?
- Jim Norris
I was pretty sure someone was going to ask that. I just wrote a whole bunch about it but really, I can't adequately explain it if you don't live here. Politics in Berkeley and Oakland are pretty messed up. Read some newspapers & blogs if you want to know more.
- Spidra Webster
Actually the government for Oakland, Berkeley AND San Francisco is pretty seriously effed up.Very ineffective (not just where crime is concerned) and the elected officials all make it obvious that they are there only because they see it as a step on the ladder to higher office.

Thanks, Spidra. I live on the Peninsula but I'm only somewhat familiar with East Bay politics.

The 6 Weirdest, Scariest Processed Foods | Food | AlterNet - http://www.alternet.org/food...
Lo is a Quitter, Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) and Andrew C liked this
"Once upon a time, some brave scientists had a noble dream of ridding our food of the plague of nutrients. Today, at the start of the 21st century, the miracle of food processing has brought that dream closer to reality than ever before. From vitamin-free "blueberry bits" to spray-can cheese to avocado-free guacamole, food scientists have worked tirelessly to bring us new and exciting foods that contain as little nutrition as possible. Even apparently "healthy" foods such as soups have been ingeniously overloaded with so much salt you feel as if you’re eating French fries. In this article, we’ll provide a handy guide to six uniquely unnatural processed foods that will hopefully serve as a blueprint for humanity’s eventual triumph over the tyrannical fist of Mother Nature."

Generally liked, but "Spam is derived primarily from pork shoulder meat (seriously)" is idiotic. Where on the pig does the author think would be better? If you can't handle the thought that your meat used to be a working muscle on an animal, then don't eat meat.
- Andrew C
"Spam first hit the big-time during World War II [...] When you think about it, it's remarkable that more of our troops didn't defect to the German army, which assuredly would have offered them generous helpings of bratwurst, knockwurst and schweineschnitzel in exchange for changing sides." Man, the author is going to be in for a huge surprise if/when he looks up (1) the fat content of those sausages and (2) where on the pig those meats come from.
