I don't know all that much about it, actually. I got a message on LinkedIn from a recruiter asking me if I knew anyone that had a fairly niche-y skill set since I was in the Greenville area. I responded that *I* did but might not have the length of experience the client required and offered a suggestion of where he could advertise the position. Apparently that was enough to get him to actually look at my profile and he'd like to talk to me about it... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Well, I played phone tag with the gent earlier today but just got done with a 27 minute phone conversation with him. He seemed intrigued (and specifically complimented my phone demeanor) and is sending me more information about the position. I'm not exactly qualified for it per se, but I know it's something I can do well. My job at this point is to make myself look like an undiscovered gem *shines her facets* - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

"I first fell in love with Indian food a few years ago after being heavily coaxed by my two more "adventurous-with-foods" friends. I am very picky about trying new foods, especially when the food looks unfamiliar to me or is composed of colors I'm not accustomed to seeing on my plate (e.g., the loud red color on tandoori chicken). After trying tandoori chicken, though, I opened myself to trying CTM and fell in love with this dish instantly." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Chicken Tikka Masala is one of the most popular dishes in the UK. It's also supposed to have been invented in the UK by a chef in an Indian Restaurant in Scotland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Ian May

Wouldn't it be potato desert, Akiva? - Bren -- Still Believes from iPhone

I thought it was the Gobi Desert. Aloo is potato so I'm assuming 'gobi' is cauliflower. - Akiva Moskovitz

GOD DARN IT. I may have to order from Mehak today. - Spidra Webster

Oh, I get your meaning now. I was thinking aloo = potato; Gobi = desert. Yours makes more sense. - Bren -- Still Believes from iPhone

I just got Tandoori Chicken, Aloo Gobi and Chicken Korma. Plus extra papadum. And it's YOUR fault, Derrick...ALL YOUR FAULT! - Bruce Lewis

Chicken Korma is okay, but personally I think goat korma is superior. SOOOOOOO delicious. Think I may have to swing by the Indian grocery store on my way home from work. - Jason Huebel

I rather enjoy curried goat myself. - Ian May

Pretty much anything with goat is good, IMO. I actually prefer goat over beef. - Jason Huebel

The reason that Chicken Tikka Masala looks brown is that they used a can of crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce in that recipe. Most Chicken Tikka Masala recipes call for tomato sauce for a creamy consistency. - Adrian

Goat is the most commonly eaten meat in the world - Ian May

I had some on Sunday and it was pretty good. I'm a huuuuuge fan of CTM. My favorite place in LA (and I've tried quite a few) is Al Noor in Lawndale http://www.yelp.com/biz... - Mark Krynsky

That's not a chicken tikka massala, it's not even red! England is the home of the Curry, and here in the midlands we've got some badass curry places, sadly as with most ethnic foods the real deal (homemade) is always superior - Toby Graham from iPhone

The masala sauce I buy in stores is red and yummy. The shrimp masala I buy at Indian restaurants is also red and yummy. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF

Wow - what a great example of the wrong way to handle bad PR. Don't they know this is just going to make a bigger, worse story for her? How stupid. - Ciaoenrico

@Ciaoenrico - you know, this is actually one of the reasons why I hesitated and spent a few days thinking and seeking some sanity checks/counsel. I mean, one of the first thoughts that occurred to me when I got the letter was: these people are either way dumber than I am - or way smarter. And I didn't want to presume the former. - Anthony Citrano

Why does it say "Ouchie" by her thumb, when the missing part was her upper thigh? And why are they mad at you? They should be mad at the Photoshop "artist." - Kimber Scott

I just read the letter they sent again - talk about a reality gap! I'm not sure they are even in the same universe when it comes to the truth. Now, if only you could get the rights from Shakira so you could use "Hips don't Lie" for your videos... - WorldofHiglet

kimber - did u read the article? - Anthony Citrano

I read the beginning of the article where you got a letter from Moore's attorney and then I clicked the link that led to the original article where you spoke about the chunk of hip missing. I guess I'll go back and read more... I thought I'd gotten the gist of it. I just didn't understand where the thumb came in. Will report back soon... - Kimber Scott

Ok. Now, I get the thumb. I still don't get their attitude. Silly people. You've got the evidence on your side. I'm anxious to see how this plays out. - Kimber Scott

It is unbelievable that they would stand behind such a crappy retouch and it is almost surreal that they would take it this far. - Joe

It really is. I can't imagine the reasoning behind it at all. - WorldofHiglet

Bad cocaine perhaps. - Joe

well written well reasoned and sadly that it was even necessary but good luck in getting the right outcome - WarLord

Of all the people I know on FriendFeed that might be sent threatening letters from a Hollywood star's attorney, Anthony was not in my first group. Go figure. - WorldofHiglet

@WoH: is that good or bad? ;-p - Anthony Citrano

Unfortunately civil actions often have nothing to do with logic, what is right or even the law. - Brian Sullivan

As far as I can tell you've proven your point well enough that any counter point would have to have twice the proof. The claims of "no retouching" are obviously not just incredible but discredited. Good job on the vids. :) - Heather

Anthony: it's hard to know what it says about either of us ;) - WorldofHiglet

wow, that retouching is super obvious. Look at the line between the leg and hip - doh! Lame attorneys. The photoshop hack needs a new job, errr correction, new career. - Susan Beebe

This whole issue could be settled in two seconds if the photographer would simply post the original RAW file from the photo shoot..... - Jeff P. Henderson

Yes, Jeff, but that's not likely now I wouldn't think. - WorldofHiglet

Oh man, this is going to make things so much worse for Demi. Why didn't they just shut up and face the truth. It's so obviously retouched, the videos in the article prove this without a doubt.

"Never mind the best books, comics, movies or TV shows of the last ten years, which new character made the biggest impact in your hearts and minds? We want to know what you think, and I have my own suggestions... In this era of franchises based on pre-existing... well, franchises, really, it should be tough for brand new characters to make any significant impression, but I feel like we've been spoiled for choice in some ways; beyond the five mentioned below, I could've also gone for Y The Last Man's Yorick Brown, Scott Pilgrim's Kim Pine (Because, really, it's all about Kim. Admit it), Fringe's Walter Bishop or Dollhouse's Adelle DeWitt, to name just a few more. I'm not talking about the most important characters of the last ten years, or even the most popular, please understand; this is purely a (selfish and subjective) question of quality, for once. These, however, are my top 5:" Benjamin Linus, Thaddeus S. "Rusty" Venture, Gaius Baltar, Donna Noble and Kate Kane/Batwoman - RAPatton

"Kate Kane/Batwoman Still relatively new, there's something fascinating about DC Comics' latest Batman spin-off.

Yes, she was born of family tragedy, but her response wasn't to focus her entire life towards justice,... more... - RAPatton

Good choices, but I agree that Locke from LOST was top 5. Then I thought, considering recent events, when Locke died, the new Locke that appears on the island isn't Locke at all, its the person (or spirit or whatever) from the flashback talking to Jacob. So Locke wasn't Locke at all (LOST makes my brain hurt.) - echostreamer

I LOOOOVE Benjamin Linus. Locke is awesome also :) and Jacob... well.. hmm #idealhusbands :) #smllove - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

If we just assume Benjamin Linus takes the cake (which he does... then tosses it back in your face with a grenade), I vote for Walter Bishop... he makes that Fringe show so *special*. - Adrian

I rewatched Serenity recently and was struck by this exact pondering whenever Chiwetel Ejiofor as "The Operative" came on screen. The only thing missing to meld him with the Firefly series better would have been giving him blue hands. Not sure why they didn't do that. Regardless, that character is a force that dominates every scene. - Michael W. May

I was thinking the same thing watching Serenity. Ever see him in "Dirty Pretty Things"? Now that's a great movie and great character. - Adrian

<3 Ben! - R1CC1

Dirty Pretty Things was the one about the kidney black market hotel, right? I recall only seeing it and having a heavy heart after seeing it. It was during a not good brain time *chuckle* - Michael W. May

Yep, that's the one, where he played the African immigrant in England. Eh... give it another chance. I get like that too. - Adrian

Just watched Fringe, Dr. Bishop could be on the list, but the show is........needs to evolve a little before its considered a great sci-fi show. #myopinion - echostreamer

Both Locke and Benjamin Linus are great characters (and I realize what I09's wheelhouse is) but I think, for me, the greatest character of the decade was Omar from The Wire. - Jason Toney

This picture creeps me out... Ben is so messed up. - Fa La La La Lindsay

Benjamin Linus hands down, but Captain Jack Harness is a close second. >:P - Molly, "sorry"

I also think Dr. Girlfriend and the Monarch (not to mention Brock) are way more interesting, iconic, whatever characters from the Venture Bros, not Rusty. And that also means we should be adding Master Shake to this list as I'd put him ahead of all adult swim characters in this decade. - Jason Toney

related sidenote: I miss Sealab 2021 - Michael W. May

Sealab 2021 and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (along with ATHF) are still the high points of Adult Swim to me. - Jason Toney

=( I HAZ A SORRY!!! I've been in a rather Grinchy mood the past week or so, plus I've been trying to wrap up the family drama before Christmas gets here. Otherwise I'm facing the prospect of three family Christmas-es rather than the normal two, and I don't know if my brain can handle that right now... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

No need to apologize. We miss you. I have been a bit absent amidst my job searchings. It has been a bit difficult to find that Holiday spirit and cheer. But I persevered and did. Hope that both of you are well. - Mathew A. Koeneker

I miss her, too! I was just thinking about her yesterday. - Rochelle

Well, there's the job search thing (which is demoralizing and dragging on forever and takes hours every day), plus the Christmas thing (which isn't as much fun when I don't have the funds to go find niftiness for my family), plus the family drama thing (which has the potential of just thoroughly trashing the holiday season). All in all I've been in about the worst possible mood and have just been stewing in my own misery for the past week or so. I'm trying to dig out of it, though... 2009 cannot win! - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

Hear Hear, WoH. Hi, Tina. Sorry you're feeling Grinchy, but so understandable. ((Tina)) - Micah Wittman

FriendFeed should be faster again. We were had some network issues which caused a lot of slowness this past week, but I think it's fixed now. Let me know if you are still encountering any extreme slowness.

FriendFeed is dying for me. In fact. it's just about gone. I use it as a control room and discussion space for my Twitter feed, and a searchable archive. Discussion threads are down about 80 percent. "Likes" are off about 90 percent. There's no real time feed in from Twitter any more. Sad. - Jay Rosen

Agreed, Jay. My personal life is in a bit of an upheaval right now, which hasn't helped, but the FB acquisition took the wind out of the sails for me. It feels like there's no future, or worse, a future wired up to the "friending" criteria of my Facebook account. I use the services COMPLETELY differently, however. Inbound updates continue, since they're automatic, but this is the first comment I've posted in weeks. Sad, indeed. - Ken Kennedy

Hi Paul, I know it has been a while since this post. But over the last 48 hours my Twitter updates have quit showing up in FF. I tried manually refreshing. Then I removed the account so I could just add it back in. When trying to do that I get the following message: "We could not find the given account" I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I haven't had any trouble until now. Thanks. - Mary-Lynn

Ladybug Heather

Heather presents the following idea for your consideration: If something is a physical, literal fact, then it isn't doctrine. Doctrine is for what we cannot *know*, as human beings in this world; doctrine is the tradition of what we *believe*, what we trust in, what we stake our souls on.

Along the same lines, heresy (defined as an idea that is contrary to orthodox doctrine) is not an error in something that is literally, physically, factually knowable. Heresy is an error in belief. And this is what makes heresy such a threatening thing. Neither the doctrine nor the heresy can be proven -- in this world -- to be literally, factually real. - Ladybug Heather

Saying that you're going to keep your mouth shut isn't the same as keeping your mouth shut. You're still saying something, only in a passive-aggressive way. HA HA SCHOOLED YOU, TAD!!!!!!!!!!!! - Akiva Moskovitz

That's kind of a bummer, Tad. I was actually looking forward to some discussion on this one. My novice class has been discussing the concept of heresy for a few weeks now. As Dominicans, it's an important concept for us to come to terms with, and some of us have had an easier time than others. - Ladybug Heather

Heather, I'm going to disagree from a biblical standpoint. Romans 6:17 talks about "doctrine (in the KJV)" as a "form" that we are committed to or obey. The greek word for "form" is τύπος (tupos #5179) and means example or pattern and is associated with metalcraft. We pour metal into a form (or die) to give it a specific shape with clearly defined boundaries. Doctrine is knowable, and HAS to be. - Jeremy (cropmarks)

Okay, Jeremy, then let's try one. One element of Christian doctrine is that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine. How do we know this? [As opposed to believing it, trusting it, having conviction in it, that is.] I do agree, though, that doctrine is about those clearly defined boundaries, which give form and shape to belief. - Ladybug Heather

The gospel of John, when read in one sitting, makes it very clear. In addition to that: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage... http://www.biblegateway.com/passage... http://www.biblegateway.com/passage... I am not sure how much more clear it could be. I am careful not to jump too quickly into "maybe" ares, but this isn't one of them. - Jeremy (cropmarks)

Oh, and #scobleapprovedconversation - Jeremy (cropmarks)

"Know" as in provable with physical evidence that can be perceived with the five physical senses? - Victor Ganata

Do you know that George Washington was the first U.S. President? - Jeremy (cropmarks)

I've been told he was, Jeremy, by people who've read books that say he was. But I never saw him do anything that would support that belief. It was a long, long time ago. People could just be making up stories. - Ken Sheppardson

Related - The Future History of the Beatles : http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Ken Sheppardson

Therefore to say that "George Washington was the first president of the United States" is not fact; but popular opinion? - Jeremy (cropmarks)

Seems to me one of the core problems is each person has a different threshold of evidence they consider to be necessary to establish something as a "fact". - Ken Sheppardson

I'd counter that the greatest problem is the consistency with which they apply the threshold. - Jeremy (cropmarks)

I've come to accept the idea that "history is a set of lies agreed upon." Even George Washington has myths attached to him, like the whole thing about the cherry tree. But sometimes all we have to rely upon are convenient fictions that everyone else seems to believe as well. - Victor Ganata

In any case, to me, facts are things I can easily test, and when I test them, I get the same result each and every time. If I let go of my pen, it will drop to the floor. If I bang my head against the desk hard, it will cause me pain. Once you've entered the realm of the untestable, all I'm left with is belief. - Victor Ganata

There's plenty of doctrine that people don't "stake [their] souls on." That seems a peculiar addition to the definition. - Christopher A Carr

Well, we're specifically talking about Catholicism/Christianity, no? Not just doctrine in general. - Victor Ganata

It may be different in other denominations, but Catholic doctrines (and dogmas) are teachings that must be accepted by all the faithful; that is, they are not open for debate or discussion. In this sense, they must be accepted as true belief. I'd argue most, if not all, are warranted or justified as well, which would make them candidates for knowledge, and in that, they are considered... more... - Mark Trapp

I actually consider heresy to mean more- going against the doctrine or system of belief. - anna sauce

Not an error, but against. - anna sauce

It's important to realize most religious teaching comes from a different place than scientific, relativistic, or skeptic teaching. Whereas a skeptic might say it's hard or impossible to know what's true, or a relativist might say it's all true, or a scientist says they can only know what's empirically true, religion, particularly the Abrahamic religions, purport that there are actual... more... - Mark Trapp

Anna; like I said, it may be different for other denominations, but for Catholics, heresy has a very specific meaning. As defined by the Catechism, "Heresy is the obstinate post-baptismal denial of some truth which must be believed with divine and catholic faith." While I don't deny someone being actively against the Church might be a heretic, heresy occurs only when someone who ought... more... - Mark Trapp

But as for the distinction between doctrine and physical fact. As far as I can tell, only one of them is considered divinely-inspired. You don't have to believe in the law of gravity to be faithful. - Victor Ganata

I think adding the word fact and law to a discussion about doctrine's difference from science confuses the issue. The difference between a scientific conclusion and a doctrine is a level of commitment. Science aims to discover what is empirically knowable: that is, if I can prove something via a hypothesis and experiment, that is the domain of science. Things outside that framework are... more... - Mark Trapp

Doctrine, on the other hand, makes a claim to truth beyond any conditionals. In all possible worlds, in all possible situations, statements of doctrine are true. Even if we are brains in a vat, or science turns out to be wrong, or if someone were deceiving us. While the basis for that claim might be divinely inspired, it's not necessarily the case. - Mark Trapp

Doctrine and dogma have to be sanctioned by the hierarchy of the Church, though--even if God were to personally reveal to me some infallible truth about the universe, that wouldn't be doctrine, much less dogma. - Victor Ganata

That's not true, at least not in the framework of Catholicism. The Church is God's current presence on Earth. They answer to Him; God is not subject to Ecclesiastical review. In your scenario, there are only two options: either you're mistaken that God revealed something to you, or the Church has been mistaken. The Church has no authority to teach doctrine outside of what is actually... more... - Mark Trapp

To elaborate, God can't logically contradict Himself and He's infallible. If He tells the Church X is true, there's no chance He's going to tell you X is false as well. Either you were mistaken or the Church was mistaken when God revealed the truth. Since the Church is based upon God Himself revealing specific truths to them, there isn't a scenario in which He would reveal separate,... more... - Mark Trapp

This whole conversation was confusing to me because when I hear 'doctrine' I think of the legal or political sense. They're litmus tests and decision gates. The 'Monroe Doctrine' and the 'Bush Doctrine' are policy statements about what is and is not acceptable. It's neither truth nor dogma, but rather a set of principles. The legal form of doctrine is a lot more like 'litmus test'. It can be a set of conditions which determine the applicability of a law. - Kevin Fox

I actually didn't mean a truth that was incompatible with the doctrines of the Church, but a specific truth that isn't already covered in the catechism. Just because something is true--even if it's divinely inspired--doesn't necessarily make it doctrine. I guess, from a Catholic perspective, the difference between mere fact and doctrine is that doctrine is a necessary truth. - Victor Ganata

Kevin: in that sense, the two uses are the same. A Christian doctrine is a litmus test for the faithful: in order to be a Christian, you must believe Church doctrine. It is not acceptable for a Christian to deny those doctrines: if that occurs, they're considered a heretic or an apostate. I guess the difference comes from the domain of the doctrine: political doctrines cover policies or interests; religious doctrines cover facts about the world. - Mark Trapp

Victor: doctrines are statements of matters of fact in the way other matters of fact are. There isn't a religious world where religious doctrines are true and a real world where other things like science are true. Doctrine talks about this world and any other possible world. So, when God reveals a truth, it's true, regardless if a body recognizes it, and Christians must follow the word... more... - Mark Trapp

Mark: for the sake of this discussion I'm not at all arguing that scientific truth and doctrine are different kinds of facts. What I'm saying is that in the same way that dogma is a subset of doctrine, doctrine is a subset of fact. There are lots of true things that the catechism doesn't discuss at all, it doesn't make those things not true, and believing in things that aren't doctrine doesn't negate your faith, either. - Victor Ganata

This discussion got really fun while I wasn't looking! :-) I wasn't specifically intending to discuss orthodox Christian doctrine, but obviously that's where I come from. There are orthodox Islamic doctrine, orthodox Jewish doctrine, and I'm sure other types as well. Though they'll deny it, there are in fact neo-pagans who hold a pretty rigidly defined set of orthodox doctrine; I don't think that this is necessarily a bad thing, just making the observation that it exists. - Ladybug Heather

That said, much of what comprises orthodox Christian doctrine (at least, the essentials of Christian doctrine on which almost all committed Christians would agree) is unknowable in this world. The nature of God as Trinity, for example. We have little, if any, evidence that God exists and relates to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- and this is the key part -- and ONLY as Father,... more... - Ladybug Heather

So this is why the Trinity has to be part of doctrine -- and why this concept was (and still is) bitterly argued for many years. A faithful Christian can accept the doctrine of the Trinity and the mystery of it, realizing that she or he really can't understand or really know the reality behind it... in this world. Our faith tells us that all truth (and Truth) will be revealed in the next world. - Ladybug Heather

Going back to Jeremy: similar to your question about George Washington, how do you know that Obama is the current President of the United States? We know based on our own experience and based on evidence that comes from others. I know that Obama is President because of the overwhelming evidence backing up this fact. I'm sufficiently satisfied with the evidence for GW being our first President to feel comfortable saying that I know this as a fact. - Ladybug Heather

On the dual natures of Jesus, I don't know that scripture presents enough evidence to say that I KNOW Jesus to have been *fully* human and *fully* divine. That, of course, gets into definitions. What does it mean to be "fully human"? Do we see all of those aspects of Jesus in scripture? What does it mean to be "fully divine"? Do we see all of those? Is there other evidence that we may... more... - Ladybug Heather

Just one note if he is the one with the http://twitter.com/johnwor... with no photo, he has no basis of understanding and doesn't even know how to utilize it, much less pass judgement. If he isn't and has an account that was utilized then it's more relevant. So many people want to be social media experts and claim they are and yet they lack the experience or understanding. So it's irrelevant, though his face to face less than 20% of his Facebook Friends use Twitter. - James Stratford

Hrm. That kinda illustrates the whole point, James. Friendfeed is the perfect example. So many posts have been written about it by people that hadn't a clue.

I agree with Johnny. The mere cost of generating enough followers and building yourself up to be a 'trust agent' a la Chris Broggan far exceeds any business value that can be derived. Here is the test -- how many tweets do you actually read? I'll bet you'll say those on your preferred lists, perhaps 20 people. The other tens of thousands go unheard. Now scale that. Twitter is dead as a social and especially business social medium. - Doug Wolfgram

Is one of your goals to meet lots of famous people and then tell other people you know them? - Cristo

Definitely ... too bad I don't know anybody famous. - Brian Sullivan

When you give examples or tell a story, do you try to weave in famous people that you've met? - Cristo

Brian, you must not be trying very hard then. - Cristo

No, hell no, and definitely not. I know a handful but go out of my way to ensure their privacy is not violated. A big step is not bragging about knowing them. Besides, I feel most are better off because THEY know ME! :) - jcunwired

Do you trust someone more because they say that so-and-so famous person told them something? E.g. As I was sitting next to Rep. X on the plane they said that the FCC is going to make Twitter the official US micro-blogging service. - Cristo

I think getting to meet and/or hang with rich/famous people gave me an opportunity to get a perspective on what really matters (to me), so, in that sense, I think I've gained something as the result. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

I wouldn't personally know. But knowing people from FF has made me a better person. - Morgan Haley

I guess it would depend on the person - Rodfather

Rodfather, the person who knows famous people, or the particular famous person? - Cristo

Not a goal to meet them, but I'm related to a semi-famous person so sometimes I talk about him, but definitely not a goal. - Jimminy Fuller

Famous people, no. Interesting people, yes. Some of the interesting people I've met happen to be famous, but that's not what I have usually found interesting about them. I've taken things away from those meetings that have made me a better person. - Jennifer Dittrich

no - VAL D. Zone

Chris, the particular famous person - Rodfather

Oh, absolutely...duh! - Christopher A Carr

It depends on the person. And how much you let someone influence you. But I'd have the same answer if you removed the word "famous." - Lo

Do you like to read blogs where the blogger is constantly talking about all the famous people they've met, as if that makes him an authority on everything? - Cristo

I simply adore name-droppers. - Christopher A Carr

Internet Famous != Famous - Jimminy Fuller

If it was an entertainment blog, maybe. - Rodfather

What about a technical & social media blog? - Cristo

If the famous person has access and knowledge of pre-released products, maybe. Angelina Jolie had one of the Palm Pre test devices. If the blogger got some inside scoop on that at the time, then I would probably read it. - Rodfather

I think knowing exceptional people makes one a better person. Doesn't matter if they are famous. - Alex Scoble

Thanks Alex. :) - Cristo

It certainly hasn't made me one. A lot of them are really quite normal to tell you the truth. - Itachi

Famous people are famous because of all the non-famous people who know them, right? It's only human nature to brag. Or so my good friends Tom Hanks and Albert Einstein say. - Stephen Mack from iPhone

:) @Alex - VAL D. Zone

Stephen, knowing someone and knowing of them are different things, although some people do confuse the two. :) - Cristo

Nope - Shevonne

Only being a better person can make you a better person, and we each bear sole responsibility for our quality in humanity. Internet fame is better than "proper" fame because it ends when it's supposed to :-) - Slappy Line

Somerimes Its good for me to talk to someboby rich or powerful or famous because I find out they have problems too, sometimes same as mine sometimes different but just enough so that money, fame and power didn't solve it all. This forces me to quit whining and man up. Of course visiting hospital has a very similar function ;) - WarLord

The only reason I wish I knew someone rich and famous is to get into a suite at the football game Sunday and the bowl game on the 27th instead of sitting in the cold. Other than that, I don't really care. - Alan Simpson

Alan, thanks. You reminded me there is football on tonight. :) - Cristo

hahahahahahahahaha - Mona Nomura

far from it. - John Wang

If you can learn something from "famous" then it will make you a better person but that can be said for any person. It all depends upon that famous person. - ashish

I think Mona is the only one getting this. :) - Cristo

Not a better person but more interesting at dinner. Especially if you slept with Tiger Woods. ;-) - Robert Scoble

It makes me feel cooler, I do have to admit to that. - Mathew™ one of a kind

I dont know anyone famous ,, does it make me a lesser person ,, of course not - johnpiercy

I prefer the company of infamous people. - Jack (a.k.a. Jeber)

it can change your social status but it is ethically irrelevant - barbarars

I AM famous. Y'all betta rekonize up in here. Holla at me in the VIP section. - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

I run into Burning Buildings and have done CPR on more dead people than most of you have seen "LIVE" people ,, does that make me a HERO ,, of course not ... - johnpiercy

Robert, did you sleep with Tiger Woods? It doesn't seem like that exclusive of a club lately. ;) - Cristo

Cristo: I slept with a Tiger, but I don't think I slept with THAT Tiger! :-) - Robert Scoble

Prolly not but it can give an interesting perspective on things. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker

Does knowing not-famous people make famous people better persons? - shubho sengupta

FriendFeed will now automatically post all your updates from status update services to Facebook if the FF app's installed:

Who said the FriendFeed team wasn't working on new updates to FriendFeed? - Jesse Stay

Hey Benjamin, do these go out as actual status updates on Facebook, or do they just get added to the stream (via stream.publish)? I think that makes a big difference on whether I install this or not (I removed Twitter awhile back because it was overwhelming my friends). Another option, which I know isn't available via the API yet, would be to set a preference on which friends or friend lists see the status updates. Then it wouldn't matter. - Jesse Stay

stream.publish is used for all the API calls. Status updates (FriendFeed entries not made via the bookmarklet, Twitter entries, Google Talk, etc.) become status updates on Facebook. Things that aren't status updates (Google Reader shares, the bookmarklet, etc.) also use stream.publish but without the "message" parameter, just a link attachment (and thus aren't status updates on Facebook). Anything with images will have media attached as well - Benjamin Golub

For make benefit glorious facebookistan. - EricaJoy

Thanks Benjamin - that makes sense - Jesse Stay

Benjamin, any plans to enable the bookmarklet to update the Facebook status? - Louis Gray

Louis: since the bookmarklet implies you are sharing a link, no. It still will be published to Facebook, just not as a status update :) - Benjamin Golub

Rats. :) - Louis Gray

Sorry :). The "message" part of a status update is supposed to be the user's words. Most of the time when you are using the bookmarklet it's just the page's title. A work around is to just visit friendfeed.com and copy/paste the URL along with whatever you want as your status. That will become a Facebook status update. - Benjamin Golub

I wish FriendFeed had a backwards compatible way for me to upload photos and share them. Their photo uploader thingy won't work through a proxy, so I can't share photos here. :( - Otto

playing around with this now. - (jeff)isageek

Something I am confused about is exactly which services will and will not be status updates. There are some that I would prefer not to become facebook status updates and some I am cool with. I am not cool with my twitter @replies becoming status updates, nor am I cool with things like Disqus or Backtype becoming one. Do you plan on adding some sort of preferences for users to be able to fine tune this? - April Russo (app103)

agree with april would love to see some way that my @reply messages on twitter do not become my status messages on facebook - (jeff)isageek

April: basically things that don't have a link (unless the link is *in* the message) are status updates. For example if you typed "check this out" and put a link in the box and hit post that is a status update. But if you shared using Google Reader or have a feed setup to pull in your blog posts those are not status updates. - Benjamin Golub

OK, got it. Still would like to see some preferences similar to what is currently available for posting updates to twitter, to fine tune this and filter out @replies. I am likely to make all my friends and family on facebook quite angry if they start seeing all the fragmented conversations from twitter. - April Russo (app103)

Sorry for Cross-Post but Ben seems active in answering here. So, currently today I have FriendFeed posts in a Tab and a Box in FB but not update my status info or post on my wall. Do I understand correct that I will no longer be able to sync in this way? That's truly a shame if that is the case, I do not want to flood my friends in FB with the stuff I post elsewhere, it's not fair to them. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)

Dude, I found that one out the hard way a couple weeks ago. It's total poo. Even after I removed my FB data from my FriendFeed, everything I did on the Internet kept dumping into my Facebook news feed. Acquisition fail? - Jolie O'Dell

Told someone today, who isn't from Texas, that I ordered tamales for Christmas Eve. Their response was surprising: "Why in the world would anyone have tamales for Christmas?" It's interesting to see different ways people celebrate in other areas. We have tamales on Christmas Eve and a big family dinner on Christmas Day.

Why in the world would anyone have tamales for Christmas? It's more of an enchilada holiday. ;) - Alex Scoble

*googles: define: tamales* - Mo Kargas

Say it isn't so, Mo! - Christopher A Carr

Never heard of 'em. And..doesn't sound too appetising either - though that's probably the cold lifeless definitions of google. - Mo Kargas

Ooooh, I want some - Josh Haley

Good tamales are very good. Not that they're traditional xmas fare for my LA family. I'd probably be more into some really good beef enchiladas for xmas. - Spidra Webster

My mom almost always hosted Thanksgiving and/or Christmas for the relatives. One Christmas she decided to change things up and did a Mexican dinner with enchiladas and tacos and a whole bunch of other stuff (no tamales, though, dangit). Everyone devoured it, but complained that they still wanted a "traditional" meal. - vicster is...

Right around the corner, in Marina del Rey, are some of the best tamales you can buy at Tamara's. The best tamales you can eat are the ones you make with friends/family. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

Tamales are traditional here. When I was younger, I used to go to tamale making parties. I'm so used to seeing tamales on had tables that's always shocking when I run into people in LA that don't have them. On the flip, my Jewish neighbors in my old place always had Chinese food. - Admiral Anika

Ritual is pretty important to a lot of people. There's just something about having certain foods to mark certain times of year... - Spidra Webster

Josh, there's a great place near you that makes AWESOME tamales. You should try them. Spidra, we have a very casual Christmas eve, opening presents, just hanging out, so maybe that's why. The more formal celebration is the next day for our family. - Trish R

A Christmas tradition could be anything. If your parents raised you on Xmas dinners of tamales, that would be traditional for you. My family has never had a traditional Xmas meal. That is, they've never stuck with any set menu. Whereas Thanksgiving menu is locked in. My mom makes a traditional kind of breakfast roll for Xmas and Easter breakfasts, though. - Spidra Webster

Those Tamale things look interesting. When we lived on the mainland we would usually have a cold Christmas (salad, cold meats, potatoes etc) because it would be so warm. - Bryce Roney

Bryce, wish I could send you and Mo some to try. They're awesome! - Trish R

Hee. I never heard of that tradition until I moved to Austin. I order some every year from my friend's grandmother. - Cheryl

Where are these poor, tamale-less backwaters? ;-) One can find tamales in Beijing, of all places. - Christopher A Carr

I get tamales for $1 on the street corner here: http://friendfeed.com/los-ang... - Admiral Anika

Anika, they range from $6 - $8 a dozen here. I ordered 4 dozen today for $25. - Trish R

We almost always have tamales and sour cream chicken enchiladas. - Greg Guitarbuster

In my family, we make this really rich cheese and wild rice soup for Christmas Eve, and then we order Chinese on Christmas Day. - Colette

Colette, that soup sounds delicious! - Trish R

Trish, I'll try to find the recipe to send it to you if you'd like. :D - Colette

Thanks, that would be great! - Trish R

Your response should have been: Because not everyone eats the same damn food for Christmas? Ughhh people kill me. It's just like it's a Panamanian tradition to eat pork for New Years dinner. - Shevonne

Joel's family always makes tamales for Christmas, it's a huge tradition for them. - Michelle Martinez

It all sounds good and is purely based upon traditions. I may be a yankee, but Tamales are always good and would fit in well with Christmas. Some Enchiladas and other items would add a nice selection. - James Stratford

I go to my sister Vicky's house and we have mostly Italian and lots of desserts.........and sometimes on Christmas I have Chinese food ...... - VAL D. Zone

My Giftmas tradition includes cookies for breakfast (only day of the year that was ever allowed) and an enormous lasagna for dinner that is about 4x the size of a standard one. There is another tradition for New Year's Eve that includes homemade pizza baked in a 30+ year old electric tabletop pizza cooker handed down to me from my stepmother, who started that tradition when I was a kid. - April Russo (app103)

that's a southern tradition too shevonne: pork, black-eyed peas or hoppin' john (black eyed peas with rice) and greens -- mustard, turnip, or collard -- on new year's day. - tiffany

The Mexican market near work were taking pre-orders for holiday tamales. - Rodfather

I shall endeavor to spread this holiday tamales idea up here in the NW. - Christopher A Carr

We're planning on having tamales, it's our Mexican tradition! - Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕ from iPhone

Here in Appalachia the common treat for Xmas morning is fried oysters. Not sure why, but since I like oysters I'll stick with local tradition (when I can remember to order them - they go quickly!0. - jcunwired

I'm Catholic and have no idea what you're supposed to do. I'd imagine, go out and greet them? Introduce? Get to know neighbors and all that? But that's just speculation. I'm not sure if that would piss off Carolers, by delaying them from the next house and making them stop singing..... - Matthew DeVries

I figured it was a church group and thought they probably left church literature on the porch so when they were gone, I went out to check. No literature, just a package of what I'm guessing is brownies. Who wants to eat them and see what happens? - Rochelle
