Would you like to hear about my undergraduate thesis on the efficiency and equity of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965?

"I'm surprised at how fast it's been to get stuff done- not sure if this is because mobile dev is so similar architecturally to iPhone, or because my Java skills aren't as rusty as I thought? Not sure. Or, it's just a more welcoming language/environment/architecture."

"Everyone- that's my mom :) I looked up cleaning solutions like you said- toothpaste and/or baking soda! Life is too short to polish silver, imho. But since I only have a few, it's not that big a deal."

"You're right, it is refreshing in a way. It didn't bother me really until that job posting-- we always use the term in a tongue-and-cheek way at work.The thing is the Facebook leadership is ... unironically brogrammers. So I do see it as a disturbing "inclusiveness" trend of young-white-male-hetero's. Young: you have no other responsibilities, be it children or aging parents. White: you're relatively wealthy and have access to lots of resources. Male/hetereo: into the chicks and a degree of weight-lifting vanity. Still, the most brogrammer I know is a girl, so in reality it's not totally sexist."

"You blog post was so refreshing. I laughed out loud a few times too, which doesn't hurt, especially re: the complicated software bit. My take is that Susannah was frustrated and disappointed with her own role in things, and she saw that when she was asked to speak about it. She didn't like nor value her contribution or the people around her, and in anger used that to reflect on women in general. It's almost like I've been there, ha. Oh wait! Feelings! Emotional speak! The panel looks really interesting-though as a techie I'm loathe to attend social media stuff, still, if I'd gone (and you were moderating) I doubtless would have gotten something out of it. This may sound callous, but I'm personally OK with the gender ratio at conferences, because I'm an attention whore and get asked to speak a lot. I also am not shy and have no problem dragging friends to these things. But I feel bad that people- of race/class/gender minorities- feel that they aren't welcome. I worry too that I'm part..."

"I totally agree with you. I go to start up weekends, hackfests, etc. quite a bit, and I've made some really great informal friendships with - mostly guys- well, almost 98% guys. I also do crazy things that my mother probably wouldn't approve of- notoriously, perhaps, would be carpooling with random guys I've met on the conference board down to San Jose. Not super safe according to, well, anyone. But that is where I met a friend who is now a funded start-up owner and we've had amazing conversations about technology and business. And another guy who was looking at seed funding various start-ups (yes, he carpooled). It's opened doors to other conferences and other friendships. I've had folks over to my house- who I hadn't met before- as clients for data analysis- though I'm not sure I'd invite over people who I had truly never met before without some common acquaintance or friendship. I would rely on a cafe, as it's just easier and I can walk away from it. But I'm not looking for advice..."

Here in West Hollywood, my best friend of 18 years and his boyfriend are getting married. So yes, I get to be a groomsman at a gay wedding - prop 8 or not. Should be awesome.
- Louis Gray
It was a fantastic ceremony. One of the best weddings I have ever seen. It was traditional Jewish themed, so I am wearing a yarmulke to match the vest and tie. Lots of great friends from my teenage years.

Louis, I own a yarmulke as well - my wife brought it for me when she visited Israel
- Jesse Stay
+ a million for the whole thread. Looks like you're picking up some admirers here, Louis! Nylissk, we gotta warn you, you're ging after a married man with many admirers. You want a piece of this guy, you're gonna have to get in line - like filing a lien on a house with five mortgages and a line of credit, with outstanding remodeling bills. ;-)

"Thanks for commenting Sophia, since I loved yours --(http://www.women2.org/my-first... for those reading this. Re: sex harassment, yeah I debated not including it, but hey, part of the problem is folks like me *not* talking about it, you know? So yeah, it happened and it really freaked me out and dampened part of what would have been a spotless wonderful geekout moment, but hey, I should have approached him and yelled at him, instead i just told a select few and bitched about it."

This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.

Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out...

1600+ to beat the FFundercats live chat thread. I think with this real time now on all threads we're going to see some truly epic comment numbers.

Ivan, no the picture speaks for itself. ;-)

Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- pb:
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- pb:
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- The original Kevin
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)

Just remember- this is not a competition, just an exhibition. @Kyle - ever been to Culver, IN? Grew up there before moving to Chicago.

Not sure about that, but: "Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future and time future contained in time past. If all time is eternally present all time is unredeemable." - Swatch, Always Now, 1997 (and yes my lunch, at 1:42am local, is consisting of a double martini so that actually makes some sense to me)
- David HC Soul
are you saying that time "now" has no meaning? i (obv.) reject this but toast your willingness to acknowledge the wisdom of a dean martin martini. now, for you sir, on to the work of most importance. focus on the permanent.

Well, I will grant that the sentiment of French Marshall Lyautey has some merit (he asked his gardener to plant a tree and when the gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years the Marshall was said to have replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!').... So I am off to plant some trees....
- David HC Soul
you, i like. and will point you to Hermann Hesse before he won the Nobel Prize for 'The Glass Bead Game' in which he wrote in in the idyllic poem "Hours in the Garden" (1936)- 'I hear music and see men of the past and future. I see wise men and poets and scholars and artists harmoniously building the hundred-gated cathedral of the Mind." - (forword to Glass Bead Game by by Hermann Hesse by Theodore Ziolkowski.)
- michael sean wright
Thanks for the pointer - I'll go search it out.
- David HC Soul
I hope so. The thought is consuming much of my waking hours these days.... But I have to be up in 5 hours... so will have to return to the 'nightcrew' tomorrow night. One thing about time is it does seem to age one....

for most of us we met here, stayed loyal here but the sun set long ago : ( what a rush of a time that was! now we find ourselves over at g+ telling stories of the good ol' days!

oh and... i do have some google+ invites left - email me nicefishfilms at g ma i l dot co m

I'm curious now - did google + make you come back to FF? Because that is v interesting.
- WoH: Minding her Botts
yes, we did the podcast when ff was acquired by the book of face.. watched them absorb the real-time elements and i check in from time to time usually through this post as it brings back very fond memories. google + reminds me of the early days of ff - haven't felt that way about any of the social nets that have come since the facedbooked swallow up. heaven knows we've been on them all and they seem so ancient now -- quora anyone? google got it right with +. think it marks the next era for them.
- michael sean wright
Google + right now does remind me of the FF glory days and I am curious to see what happens next.
