I don't know the right answer!!!

Am I the Benjamin you voted for?!? /flattered - Benjamin Golub
Yup! - Kevin Fox from iPhone
But... Klout is Lame! - Louis Gray
How else do you get free stuff? - Eric
You don't. You opt out. - Louis Gray
You don't anyway - every time I go there, there's nothing available. - Jesse Stay
Kevin Fox
I'm patiently waiting for the Nikon D800 announcement within the next few hours. [/I'm /Im/]
I jsut read about it on a Canon rumors website. 36 Mpixels! Time to buy more cards! - Brian Johns
fstoppers.com already posted info about it. - Juan Pablo González
It releases tomorrow? How much for your D700? - Eric
The coolest rumor I heard was a D800-E version with no anti-aliasing filter. As a Canon 5-D shooter, that teases me a lot. - Brian Johns
Brian, yep. that bit's all but confirmed. It's amusing that it's rumored to cost several hundred *more* for the model without the AA filter. Presumably because it's a smaller production run, or to inhibit the clueless form buying the wrong one and complaining about moire patterns. - Kevin Fox
Eric: Can not have! I've been waiting patiently for years to get Rachel's D700 as a hand-me-down! :-) - Kevin Fox
MAN! - Eric
So D800 or D4? I think the D4 is a lot more interesting. The D800 sensor is just too dense IMO. - Benjamin Golub
I lost patience a year ago. They better get it out here RIGHT NOW! - Rachel Lea Fox
Heh, you've lost patience? How do you think us 5D2 users feel? ;-p - ronin
ronin, 5D2 users have had video in their camera and a good deal more pixels since 2008. The D700 came out a month before that and we haven't had an update with video in a high end camera since. - Rachel Lea Fox
As a Canon user, I love that Nikon is making a camera with these specs. (all except the megapixels) I hope Canon tries to copy them all to stay competitive! - Brian Johns
@Rachel Ah, you're right. For some reason I was always under the impression that the D700 came out later. I think I was enamored w/the AF system and high ISO IQ. =) Anyway, at least your wait is now over. It's official: http://bit.ly/xtzlVE - ronin
The pages with the sample images seem to be loading very slowly... http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup... and http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup... - Brian Johns
None of the samples show ISO > 640 which is kinda disappointing. - ronin
post the pre-order!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! - Rachel Lea Fox

I haven't used an alarm clock in ... 20 or 30 years? I just wake up. Usually around 6:00 or 6:30. - Laura Norvig
5:20 am - The original Kevin
Depends on what time my daughter decides to wake up. No later than 6am but often earlier. - Stephan Planken from iPhone

5:45AM with 15 minutes of snooze and up at 6. - Alan
Our alarm clock has 2 different alarms you can set on it, so when the twins (high school) are home, my wife uses an alarm set for 5 a.m. When it's just the little one (elementary school), she uses an alarm set for 6:01 (I accidentally went past 6:00, and didn't feel like changing it). On days when I commute into work, I use the 6:01 alarm. On days when I telecommute, I have my phone set to go off at 7:45. On weekends, we usually don't use an alarm. - Curdy G
5:30am - Kevin Johnson
8.30am Eastern - t. The Lethargic Honeybee

7:40am - ronin
6:00am atm on weekdays. Random on weekends, if at all. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
7 am - out of bed sometime after - in the office by 9 - Jason
What D said. I usually set it for an hour before I have to be at work (30 min to get ready, 30 min commute) but I'm typically awake and lying around in bed before it goes off anyway. My internal alarm is set to 7:30. - Penguin from iPhone
6:20 - please tell me someones going to throw these into a table and make a graph :) - Eric Sizemore
Bret Taylor
You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.
Picture 11.png
You can see all of your email settings at http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Bret Taylor
Thanks Bret! :) - Matt Ruiz
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend. - Bret Taylor
Great! Thanks! Love FF! - Scott Monaco
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email. - Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Lovely. Thanks guys. - Mitchell Tsai
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest. - Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...) - Mitchell Tsai
WOW. that's really helpful! - K.D.
Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro. - Louis Gray
Cool! - Josh Haley
Just curious - at what time of the day will we get these emails ? Midnight US-Time, or will it respect our timezones ? - Ahsan Ali
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry! - Bret Taylor
Thanks Bret - Ahsan Ali
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"? - 0M0M from email
Cool - Nimaa
This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution. - Kathy Fitch
Nice addition! - Michael Fidler
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments? - Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count! - Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-) - Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists) - Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :) - Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks! - Jim Connolly
awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :) - Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too. - Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier. - Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys - (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys! - Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there). - Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed .. - Friendfeed's Francisco
That's a cool feature - Xitong Liu
FWIW this isn't working for me any longer. Perhaps that has something to do with my Gmail settings though. - Mark J
Emails no longer get sent except for Subscriptions. The last non-sub email I recieved was July 15th, 2011. - Jimminy, CoG of FF
I still get them. - AJ Batac :)
I get these every day. - CW✔
Benjamin Golub
We added a few features you might have missed recently: support for imgur.com thumbnails (http://friendfeed.com/search...) and "Best of" for users/groups on the iPhone (http://friendfeed.com/iphone...)
Screen shot 2009-10-29 at 3.05.19 PM.png
Rumors of FriendFeed's death are greatly exaggerated. (Thank you, Ben!) - Stephen Mack
Thanks, guys :) - Friendfeed's Francisco
Stephen, very happy to see new features like this, but I think the "death" part is the major users reducing their activity. I'd love to see some support from Facebook in promoting FriendFeed more to encourage those users to go back. Or maybe they don't want to? Regardless, bonus for me! Thanks Benjamin - you're awesome! - Jesse Stay
Jesse, fair enough but major users always did come and go. Some of the departees who left said they were doing so because there was no new development. Clearly not all development is halted. Last week Paul hinted that FF may receive a major new feature, and characterized his participation as "20% time" -- I'll take that. - Stephen Mack
I backed down off the all caps. The group "best of" is really useful, love it. - Stephen Mack
Stephen, I agree - I'd just like some confirmation that Facebook cares about all this so I can know whether to focus my efforts on Facebook or FriendFeed or both. - Jesse Stay
I noticed the best of on the iPhone the other day, wrote it out on a cake and then ated it. - Josh Haley
Thanks for the update Ben - AJ Batac :)
Jesse, I think you should focus where your users are focused. What do SocialToo users want? But if they want Facebook focus, you should still keep an eye on FriendFeed, since the future Facebook will look a lot more like FriendFeed. - Bruce Lewis
Bruce, I'm not sure we know that. - Jesse Stay
Paul Buchheit said the FB acquisition was attractive because of shared vision/direction. I would be surprised if a lot of that vision wasn't already embodied in this product right here. - Bruce Lewis
not enough, best of day should be like a stream that can be traced back - ffcode
ffcode: you can do that. Here is the "Best of week" from one year ago: http://friendfeed.com/summary... - Benjamin Golub
thanks Benjamin - ffcode
ITS ALIVE!!!!!!! MUH HA HA - Roberto Bonini

FriendFeed API v2: Real-time, OAuth, file attachments, and more - http://blog.friendfeed.com/2009...
FriendFeed API v2: Real-time, OAuth, file attachments, and more
"Today we are launching version 2 of the FriendFeed API for beta testing. We focused on making the API simpler to use, and we added number of compelling new features." Documentation: http://friendfeed.com/api... - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet
OAuth? Sweet. Thanks a lot for all the new good stuff in the API: can't wait to use it. - Mark Trapp
very nice. great work! - Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど
Yet another reason to like Bret. :-) - Jesse Stay
Great!!! - YungSang from FriendFoo
nice! - Daniel Rust
good job guys, I bet devs are jumping high right now - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Sweet, congrats! - Ivan Zuzak
nice, good to see OAuth support, this will enable a larger 3rd party ecosphere around FriendFeed, I hope - Jeroen De Miranda
After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages? - Mark Trapp
Mark: direct messages are accessed using the feed ID "filter/direct". Read more about feed IDs at http://friendfeed.com/api.... Also direct messages appear in the "home" feed. - Benjamin Golub
Benjamin: ahhh, I see it now. I missed it when skimming that list over. Thanks! - Mark Trapp
Can you post the wget version of the command line? - Gabe
Gabe: wget --user=bgolub --password=passwd --post-file=MyPhoto.jpg http://friendfeed-api.com/v2... should work. In theory. Edit: nope. I'm not sure it's possible to do with wget. - Mark Trapp
Thanks God it is New API. - Ahmet Alp Balkan from iPod
Nice progress here with this release! - Micah
I love it! - friday night
Why is wget questionable? - Gabe
Gabe: wget doesn't support multipart forms as a design decision. If you post a file, FriendFeed returns a 404, and if you post data, the query is too long for wget to handle. - Mark Trapp
cool : ) - Gurkan Oluc
Good work, look forward to seeing what developers can create - Joe Dawson
doublepluslike - Vezquex
curl FTW. - Jeremy Kunz
This is great, FriendFeed team. Good job. - Thierry R. Andriamirado
Woowoo, bgolub's password is “passwd” ;-) - Amit Patel
Amit: I wonder how many people tested that :) - Benjamin Golub
Thanks to bgolub posting his password, I now have all of FriendFeed's secret documents about notorious users, useless metrics, Justin Timberlake's promoting FF on Oprah's show, hiring Colbert as a spokesperson, Ev Williams being just a “distraction”. TechCrunch is going to love this! ;) - Amit Patel
Yes big big thanks to the whole team for all their hard work!! - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ from iPhone
thank you;) waiting for the release :) loving clone - abdellah from FriendFeed API Example
Yay subscribers exposed! - EricaJoy
Finally OAuth, I had a hard time memorizing my remote key. - Hugh Isaacs II
This is indeed very cool, anybody started on a c# version? - Jesper Lind
Casey Muller
This morning we changed the format of FriendFeed subscription email messages to include more information about people who subscribe to you. Please let us know if you see any problems, and keep an eye out for more email improvements in the future.
subscribemail.png
Thank you very much, Casey! :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Thank you ff very good :) - Nimaa
Nicely done :) - LANjackal
Awesome! Now lets see support for more web services... - Jac Falcon
saw that, and it was mega-helpful. bravo. - Nathan Chase
Shoot. Now I need a subscription. - Josh Haley
I'm all for improving the format of notifications, but wonder (aloud) if it is such a smart move to include the Approve/Reject link right at the top (unless it only appears in private feeds to which someone has requested access). Right now we have the option of blocking/ rejecting a subscriber at any time but presumably not at the very outset. This may lead to more of a walled gardens' mentality, already very prevalent at FF. - ianf ⌘
ianf: approve/reject is only for private feeds. Public feeds just have a link to subscribe back :) - Benjamin Golub
Nice - Grant Bierman
that's great! - K.D.
LIKEY. - Steven Perez
I noticed this one! Such informations about people who subscribe to me on FriendFeed are useful, and makes it easy to quickly get in the conversation. Thanks for the good job! - Thierry R. Andriamirado
w00t! - David Cook
For features like this one, I'm ok to receive html emails. -MANY- html emails ;-) - Thierry R. Andriamirado
The new emails are AWESOME! - April
Gmail automatically showed me the images in a subscription email, even though I never told it to (you know how gmail has the 'display images below' option). further, it doesn't give me the option to hide the images. not that I'd want to, but how are you bypassing gmail's security feature to hide the images? - chrisofspades
Chris, we don't do anything special. I'm not sure how gmail decides what images to show, you'd have to contact them or check the gmail help. - Casey Muller
Casey, you sure FriendFeed's founders didn't use some of their "we created Gmail" mojo? ;) - chrisofspades
Chris, the "show images" only applies to external images hosted on other sites. Gmail doesn't show those by default because doing so would allow people to "bug" email. We include the images with the email so that they can be displayed immediately. - Paul Buchheit
ahhhh that explains it. thanks Paul. - chrisofspades from email

Not sure where this goes, but friend's wife (age 27) just died of cancer, month later he's diagnosed w/S3 cancer. I'd refuse treatment, too.

Why does Brees always lick his fingers?
I think most QB's do that, actually. - Derrick
It probably gives them better grip by keeping their fingertips from drying out. - Chris Topher
Nearly every QB does it. - Benjamin Golub
Plus, tasty. - Eric
He gave up biting his nails for 2012 - WoH: Minding her Steves

"From Egg in a hole, Toad in a Hole and Eggy in a Basket to Hobo Eggs, it seems that everyone calls this breakfast treat by a different name. But from now on I will call it Egg in a Nest thanks to a comment left on my Flickr photo! An egg tucked into a piece of bread and fried?" - Derrick from Bookmarklet
That looks _so_ good! - Jenny R
I grew up on these... had 'em about once a week. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the first recipe I learned to cook for myself. That or grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh, in our house, they were an "Egg-in-one" :P - Brent
My husband called them Gas House Eggs. We never knew why. Maybe guys living on the work site made them? - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I'd never heard of or seen such a thing until a few months ago on FF when someone posted about these. I tried to make it once since then but I think I did it wrong because the whites were still runny when the toast was dark. - Rochelle
We called the spit-in-the-eyes at camp. - laura x
I thank the film "V for Vendetta" for introducing me to this delicious item of food, although I curse them for calling it "Eggy in a Basket" and saying it's an English delicacy. This meal's excellence quotient can be increased with the addition of bacon. - Slippy
And they must be cooked in butter -- accept no substitutes :) - Brent
Of course, you mean butter that has first fried bacon, don't you? :-) - Slippy
My favorite name so far? One-eyed toast. - Derrick
Love this. - Bren from iPhone
Well, I was going to make this for breakfast but the only sliced bread we have is a sourdough loaf and it wasn't tall enough to cut a circle out of so I just cooked two eggs and set them on top of a slice of sourdough toast. With ketchup. Yep. - Rochelle
One-eyed toast... :-D - Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™
I think I am having that today. Yum. - Melissa
Yes, my dad used to make this for us. Yummmmmmmm.... - amygeek
I'll have one after my run - Bren
I've seen this but I don't think I've ever made it. - Eric
Egg frames are what folks in my family always called them. - Katy S
Rochelle, keep practicing. Much like grilled cheese, you need a medium to medium-high heat to give the eggs time to cook but not burn the toast. Also, I cover the frying pan to help set the whites and, if necessary, flip it once at the end. - Laura Norvig
Laura, will do! When I cook eggs, I always flip once because I like the yolks to have a cooked layer on the top. - Rochelle
I'm going to try this - Rodfather
It's also fun to use small cookie cutters to get different shapes in the middle. We have used a star - it's not perfect but it's cute. - Laura Norvig
I still didn't get around to making this yet. Maybe for dinner. - Derrick
I seem to recall knowing it as Toad in a Hole from childhood and it's definitely tasty. However, my English grandmother rarely made it and almost always made us what she called Eggy which involved toast cut into strips which we then dipped into soft boiled eggs (held in egg cups) so similar effect in a very different form. - Maria Niles
I just made these for lunch! I was so worried about the whites being runny that I overcooked the yolk. I'm out of practice. They were still great though. Wade had a candy cane shape and I had a star. He said he wants to eat them every day. And he's asking for another one right now. - Laura Norvig
We call them one-eyed Egyptians since I can remember. - Josh Haley from iPhone
Hole-in-one was our name for 'em. - Mark J
One-eyed Jacks over here - April Buchheit
Toad in a hole. Aka delicious :) - Benjamin Golub
I tried making that on a whim a couple months ago. YUM. - Lo the Baker
Bump. - Derrick
I bet the Dictionary of American Regional English has a lot to say about this... - RepoRat
my mom makes "egg in a nest" using a soft boiled egg "nested" in mashed potatoes. don't knock it 'til you try it. cures a hangover like nobody's biz - αnnα vαȵ scoyoç
Camel's eyes here. And yes, delicious. Also, anna, that sounds delicious and sort of like what I do with poached (or fried) egg on savory oats. - ellbeecee
Toad in the hole is sausages cooked in Yorkshire puddings, preferably with lashings of onion gravy. - Helensleydale
I saw an old movie once where they called them Gas House eggs, we call 'em Hole in Ones. - LibrarianOnTheLoose
NOT "toad in the hole"—A Toad in the Hole is a sausage embedded in a Yorkshire pudding. - I like big Botts
I just had this for breakfast today. :3 - Colette
We called them 'One Eyed Egyptians' when growing up. Now I call them One Eyed EggJipShans - Morgan
I might have made a mistake by telling my family that I had made these for myself recently. My wife is asking for this now. :) - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)

If you use the FriendFeed Facebook application make sure you've configured it properly. We are switching to a new method of publishing in the not too distant future. If you see this message at http://apps.facebook.com/friendf... just click on the link to provide the proper permissions.

Overcome by grief, he decided to travel to the land of the dead to get her. - Azeem Baloch

First Impressions: Canon S100 - http://piaw.blogspot.com/2011...
First Impressions: Canon S100
I did not know the S100 went to 24mm. That is an excellent upgrade from the already impressive S90. - Benjamin Golub
Yes. That's actually a huge feature. One reason why SLR pictures look more impressive is because 24mm focal lengths are more readily available. - Piaw Na
I've been considering what I want to use when I don't have the 5d2 with me and the S100 looks like a good bet. (BTW -- I bought the previous S100 ~12 years ago for our honeymoon road trip -- http://www.dpreview.com/news...). However, I've been finding that I just use the camera on my phone more and more. It isn't bad (I have an iPhone 4) but the 'upload now'... more... - Joe Beda
I usually travel in places outside of 3G/Wifi coverage anyway, plus, the phone cameras suck. They really do. People ooo and ahh over my S90 pictures because they've been conditioned to poor shots from camera phones. Of course, back in the film days, they ooo and ah'd over my tripod mounted shots as well. Going the extra step always always helps your results. - Piaw Na
The download/cull/upload loop for my 5D2 is just too much work most of the time and so pictures sit on the card. Sharing pictures with the grandparents suffer. I'd love to improve that without sacrificing the quality of a better camera. The phone cameras are poor but getting a lot better. The iPhone 4 is loads better than the 3GS (which I didn't use as it was so bad). I wonder what kind of conversations Canon/Nikon have had internally about how to handle phone cameras. - Joe Beda
The compact cameras work very well and are loads better than the best phone cameras. The 5D2's a little more work, but not a lot more if you have a fast PC (quad-core + SSD is best). I don't have any issues with photos staying on my card and not being shared. - Piaw Na
Two kids + work = no time for dealing with pictures :) - Joe Beda
Yeah well, that's going to have an impact. Though with photos, I'd rather have a few good pictures than a lot of crap. There's evidence that your perception of the past is determined largely by your photos, so if you have a lot of crappy photos you'll make your self less happy in the long run. - Piaw Na

I'll just leave this here.

Um... new UI?! HOW DO I GET THIS?? - Georgia
Gotta break out the time machine! This was from three years ago: http://blog.friendfeed.com/2008... - Kevin Fox
Old I think - Johnny from iPhone
FUNNY! I like it! - Georgia
How do I not remember that... I must be getting old :) - Georgia
I don't think I could go back to that UI. I like the current one. - Stephen Mack
Mind you, the curent UI is also about 2.5 years old. :-) - Kevin Fox
I miss the little real-time window that you could have open while you worked on other things. I never understood why they didn't implement that. - Shevonne
I forgot all about that little window. - Akiva
Wait. It's still there. Click on the timestamp in the main feed and then click on the timestamp again in the individual post. - Akiva
Ha, I remember this! I almost thought this was an old post that got bumped! - Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
Where is the timestamp on the main feed? - Shevonne
Why do I feel like I've been oh-so-subtly rickrolled? - Victor Ganata from iPhone

Do you have any suggestions for CFLs that don't suck?
Feit Electric are consistently bad -- they take up to 1 minute to achieve full brightness. Greenlite have been consistently good -- instantly bright, and also their 23W version is shorter than Feit's which makes it look less ugly in certain fixtures. - Tudor Bosman
I'm specifically looking for the R30 / BR30 / PAR30 floodlight form factor, but other suggestions are good too. - Tudor Bosman
LED bulbs are way too expensive at $40+ a pop. - Tudor Bosman
Switch to incandescents in the winter, and wait until summer before switching to CFLs ;) - Amit Patel
That's a decent suggestion Amit. I still use a mix of incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, and LED, depending on the application. I have a ton of dimmers, and that's still a challenge. LEDs are expensive, but they should last a long time and you have to balance the energy savings. In some rooms, I'll put an incandescent in critical spots where I want light right away, then fluorescents... more... - Tinfoil 2.0
The mercury issue is annoying. I still use a mix of incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, and LED, but I tend to use incandescent more in the winter, because I don't mind the extra heat. For CFLs I bought lots of different brands, tried them all out, and used the highest light quality for important rooms and lowest light quality for garage, closet, and outdoor areas. - Amit Patel
I got $20 LED lights (60W equivalents, though they seem brighter to me) at Home Depot. National Grid was subsidizing them somehow. - Bruce Lewis
<-- also looking for a decent CFL in floodlight form factor. Needs to be dimmable too. - Benjamin Golub
My “solution” for dimmable CFLs was to get several smaller lamps and just turn on 1, 2, or 3 of them. :( - Amit Patel
Dunno if they make floodlight versions, but Home Depot's house brand (EcoLite?) was rated highly by CR, and in my experience has been great: Instantly bright, almost startlingly so, and they're supposed to last through a lot of on/off cycles (biggest issue with many CFLs). - Walt Crawford
As for dimmables (the only places we still have incandescents, I think)...sigh. The CFLs we tried both sang and flickered like crazy when dimmed. If/when LED's get real-world pricing... - Walt Crawford
Canadian Football League Gray Cup game usually doesn't suck. - SteVe C
How bad would this look in a floodlight receptacle? http://www.google.com/product... - Bruce Lewis
A little wonky due to being yellow when turned off, but it's promising. I think I'll buy one or two for beta testing :) - Tudor Bosman
Kevin Fox
Just realized I haven't been on FriendFeed in nearly a week. Not sure how I feel about that.
*hits Kevin with a rubber chicken* - Spidra Webster
Also, my tweets stopped coming through ages ago. - Kevin Fox
I finally gave up and installed Advanced Tweets yesterday. - Spidra Webster
You feel happy because you are back? - Todd Hoff
I was starting to wonder where you were... - Brian Johns

I cannot like this post. But I can say: Come back to us, Kevin! - Stephen Mack from iPhone
I think I fixed the Twitter consumer. - Benjamin Golub
^ Cool. - Micah
There are enough regulars here constantly liking things to supply good data for best-of-day and best-of-week. You can go away and come back without skipping a beat. - Bruce Lewis

Kevin, don't listen to Bruce. Daily visits are conducive to your health. BGlub, you rock. - Laura Norvig

Bank of America took over my Schwab credit card. They shut down access to the Schwab card from the old website and won't give us access to the card on the BoA website until "sometime in December". Meanwhile my account is paperless so it's going to be a pain in the ass to make sure I don't miss a bill payment.
ugh. - Kevin Johnson
That sucks. :( - Derrick
When they do things like this, it makes me wonder if they're counting on you missing a payment. - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
There is no wonder. - Josh Haley
Ha3rvey: that's what I told the customer service guy before hanging up on him. I'm pretty sure they are just dragging their feet to collect fees. How hard would it have been to leave the old Schwab website up while they waited on our new cards to be delivered? The old cards still work, just the website doesn't. - Benjamin Golub
Wells Fargo has certainly been known to stack the deck in order to ensure more fees. - Spidra Webster
Refuse to pay any fees for nonpayment of bills they don't send you or give you access to. - Bruce Lewis

Pet peeve about the Gmail new look: extra vertical space above and below the ad bar, which means the ad is more prominent, but fewer conversations fit in the window without scrolling.
What ad? :p - Tinfoil 2.0
actual da ad space is the same pix strength as normal line.. only problem is that it scrolls and we -1 on the list :)- - Peter Dawson
Actually, there's a "display density" option in the settings menu (the gear above your thread list, next to the prev page / next page buttons) which makes this better. - Tudor Bosman

FYI - for those of you still using FriendFeed to catch up on shared items from Google Reader, you can expect that those shared items will soon stop flowing as a result of upcoming changes to the product. I know the network here has changed a great deal in the last few years, but I figured it made sense to mention it as a public service.
*stinkeye* - Rodfather
I knew it would happen GP, integrating reader into the stream, and yeah >.> stank eye - The Real sofarsoShawn
I knew this was coming, but to see it so baldly laid out here? Well. It smarts somewhat. Good job I can still #lazyweb the news by checking out google+ - WoH: Minding her Steves
And everybody in the world knows my position on Google Reader and FriendFeed and Google Reader shared items ... but all will be well. The Twitter account @lgstream will go away too. - Louis Gray
Most of the non-human feeds I pay attention to are direct RSS feeds coming in here. It'll suck not noticing GReader shares from LG. I still use GReader and sharing is convenient. I guess I'll have to use the bookmarklet more. - Rodfather
Google Reader will no longer produce RSS feeds for shared items? Why? - Benjamin Golub
Also what about PubSubHubbub? - Benjamin Golub
Ben, the upcoming changes to Reader remove social friending/following and shared links. More soon. And I don't see any reason PSHB would affected. - Louis Gray
Well PSHB is the vehicle on which we consume Google Reader shares. All the comments only mention the RSS feeds going away so I thought I'd check. - Benjamin Golub
+1 will replace the share/share w/note function, Ben. So PSHB wouldn't find anything. - Louis Gray
It could be a fiery week for you guys when these changes roll out...;)...as you are well aware the GReader community is a small but very passionate one. All the GR old timers are very wary. Either way it's kind of exciting for me that GReader isn't being forgotten, which is a good sign in itself. - Phil Ashman
Phil, I am the community and an old timer. It's my grenade to jump on, for better or for worse. - Louis Gray
Noted. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Phil, I'm a GReadr fanboy, so I'll be missing these share features. I can see the reason behind them too. Everything will be Google+ soon. We (us FriendFeeders) just need groups on G+ and better search features then it's got most of what FriendFeed has. I can't see G+ being an aggregator though. So if that's important then stick with FF. Personally I'm quite happy with my imports on G+.... more... - Kol Tregaskes

Does the new Messages app just know if a contact is running iOS 5 so it doesn't have to send a costly text message or do I have to somehow trigger it?
From what I have been reading, iM is the first option. Although if it cannot figure out, SMS will be sent the costly route automatically. No option to stop the message from going out... - kartik vaithyanathan from iPhone
I dare say it would work off the same set of pipes as FaceTime... since iOS5 works for iPods (without SMS feature) - Johnny from iPhone
Oh I figured it out. When you can send an iMessage the text input field changes from "Text message" to "iMessage". Neat! - Benjamin Golub
Yeah, it goes by AppleID, and I think it matches phone numbers to Apple IDs in its database to faciliate autodetection. - Kevin Fox

The new cheap ($79) Kindle is tempting, mainly because it weighs less than 6 ounces.
I think I'm buying one (or two!) tonight. This is exactly what I've been looking for. - Benjamin Golub
Has anyone used a Kindle with special offers before? Curious how intrusive it is and whether it's really worth the $30 savings. @Ben, do you already have a Kindle now? - Dan Hsiao
I haven't used one but I ordered the new $79 Kindle and should have it tomorrow or Friday. No ads display when you are actually reading a book so it doesn't seem like a big deal to me. - Benjamin Golub
Ben: can you bring it to work once you get it? Thanks! - Tudor Bosman
I'll bring it in on Monday. - Benjamin Golub

Interesting, tweets are not coming in to FriendFeed now. With this and others, FF is slowing dying as a service. :-(
Delicious links are also broken. - Nils Sandin
Other services are broken today as well, threadsy.com won't login. - Nils Sandin
tweets are importing for me. - Joe The Sausage
Hmm, maybe it's Twitter itself. I'm trying to browse my profile and it's dog-slow, - Kol Tregaskes
In regards to other services, yep. I've just re-added GReader and that works. My YouTube likes go through G|Reader so that's at least fixed YouTube import. - Kol Tregaskes
Youtube favorites have been working for me. I didn't have any issues with delicious today, but I see other people who I'm following did in the past few days. - Andy Bakun
I've heard that some people have to manually update Tumblr but I refuse to verify that. - Akiva
My Flickr and Tumblr imports have been coming in on their own lately. I use Advanced Tweets for Twitter importing, so I'm not sure what's going on with the standard Twitter connection. - John (bird whisperer)
Considering I have the option TO import stuff (working or not)... Still better than Google+ *runs off giggling* - Johnny from iPhone
Google+ never presented itself as an aggregation service, has it? - Akiva
My Twitter import stopped about 2-4 weeks ago. Twitter export stopped well over a month ago. Very well noted in FF feedback room. - Just Joe from iPod
Akiva, nope, thankfully. - Kol Tregaskes
Most tweets are not importing (look at the news feeds like CNN -- http://friendfeed.com/cnnbrk -- last tweet was on September 12, or Wire Update -- http://friendfeed.com/wireupd... -- same date; same with LA Times and NYT, where only their Tumblr and YouTube accounts are coming in). This has happened before. I bet it will happen again. - Stephen Mack
My Twitter import hasn't worked since February. =\ Most other services seem ok if a little slow. - ronin
Gave it a kick start. Thanks for the patience. - Benjamin Golub
Thank you, Benjamin! - WoH: Minding her Steves
Thank you, Benjamin! Any chance of FF-to-Twitter getting fixed? ;) - Victor Ganata

Nikon releases three 1 Nikkor lenses for Nikon 1 system: Digital Photography Review
Show all
There's a 10-100mm that will be available as well. - ronin from Bookmarklet
"10mm f/2.8 pancake lens (27mm equivalent)." I wonder if you can fit that in a jeans pocket. - Rodfather
It might be nice if it does good video. Powerzoom lens. If they can make it act like a camcorder. - Rodfather
F mount???? - Johnny from iPhone
1" sensor. I can't wait to see a pic of that adapted to a SLR telephoto lens. - Rodfather from iPhone
Considering that Sony's NEX is APS-C sized... I still don't get the logic. Unless they're assuming that p&s users moving up to an interchangeable lens system won't know or care that the larger the sensor size the better. Or they're counting on their brand driving sales. - ronin
The lenses will surely be cheaper than ones for large sensor mirrorless cameras... right? - Andrew C (✓)
Yeah. It bleeds close with cameras like the Canon S100. - Rodfather from iPhone
It'd be a trip if it had a crap load of connections to lenses and had adapters to support autofocus on micro 4/3, NEX, Canon EOS, and Nikon DX lens - Rodfather from iPhone
@Andrew I don't think so. It will most likely be on par. - ronin
Completely underwhelmed. - Piaw Na
Here's one rationale for the smaller (but not too small) sensor size: http://dpreview.com/article... - I like big Botts
I wonder if the bulk of customers will be Nikon fans. I'll assume it won't nearly be as popular in the US than in Asian markets. - Rodfather
I mean, really, don't you think that the Nikon 1 system is designed to become one with the user and their lifestyle, providing a unique form of expression with amazing image quality, speed and portability? - I like big Botts
The thing is, the lenses are still relatively bulky compared to the body. Even with the 10mm lens, it doesn't look like you'll be able to fit that in a jeans pocket. Most of the complaints are with the sensor size. Somewhere between a P&S and micro 4/3's. It's an odd spot they chose. - Rodfather
It also appears they are trying to tap into video more with that powerzoom lens. Hopefully, it'll act just like a consumer camcorder. But then, might as well go for a Sony NEX or a Panny GH2 if your focus is on video. - Rodfather
I wonder what Canon is going to do. I think they should embrace mirror-less but disregard the shrinkage of the body. Make a full-frame mirror-less system and have a strong focus on video. - Rodfather
I think the size is fine. The price is the part that is keeping me from jumping on the bandwagon. There are m4/3 systems that are cheaper with a *potentially* better sensor - Benjamin Golub
Yeah. $650 and $900 with a kit lens is hard to swallow. I imagine for those wanting to upgrade from a P&S and are looking at price & specs, a Sony NEX is attractive with the APS-C size sensor. Years old micro 4/3's cameras are relatively inexpensive and have some nice primes now. - Rodfather

"New Girl" series premiere Tuesday 9/20 at 9pm on Fox #fall2011
After going through a bad breakup, a woman in her late 20s moves in with three single guys. Cast: Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Hannah Simone. - Stephen Mack from Bookmarklet
From Fox's May 2011 press release: "NEW GIRL is a new single-camera comedy from Liz Meriwether ('No Strings Attached') that features a young ensemble cast and takes a fresh and outrageous look at modern male/female relationships. JESS DAY (Zooey Deschanel, '(500) Days of Summer') is an offbeat and adorable girl in her late 20s who, after a bad breakup, moves in with three single guys.... more... - Stephen Mack
If you have a TiVo DVR, you don't have to wait until tonight: This one is already on your box, if you go to the "Showcases" menu, you can watch it right now. - Stephen Mack
I do believe there are some Zooey D. fans here on FF. - Stephen Mack
The first episode is also free on iTunes, and it premieres right after Glee, so Fox has big hopes for this one. - Stephen Mack
The iTunes preview was a good move. - Andrew C (✓)
i just watched 500 days of summer and fell in love with her, so this is a must watch for me #Serendipity - chaz2b
Via NY Mag, the theme song as sung by Zooey: http://soundcloud.com/nymag... - Andrew C (✓)
I love that people love her. - Derrick
We watched it last night, and I thought of all the sit-coms thus far, this one is pretty good. There were a couple good chuckles, but I fear that Zooey's quirkyness will wear really really thin. - Steve and 3 other people
I recorded it, hoping to watch it this evening... - Georgia
I'm buying a gun. - Akiva
ugh. that is all. - holly #ravingfangirl
(As someone who actually *did* this - moved in with a gaggle of guys after a breakup - I thought the pilot was amusing. The quirk won't hold for more than a few episodes though. Also, I did not have model friends, just regular friends. :P ) - ωαřмaiden ☆TeamOtto☆
Akiva's gun will be starring alongside Charlie Sheen and Candace Bergen in one of Fox's mid-season replacements, about a mysterious island in the '60s where a never-ending talent show is held: X-BULLET FACTOR ISLAND IDOL. - Stephen Mack
It's my dream to move into a house full of really pithy gay men after a breakup. Obviously I will not be the perky one in the household. - Hookuh Tinypants

Stephen, I'm going to be so rich!!!!! - Akiva
They showed it on our JetBlue flight last week, and it was a free PPV option in our hotel. Whoever was charged with promoting the pilot really got it out everywhere. - Kevin Fox
Kevin, did you enjoy it? - Stephen Mack
Kevin didn't write that he watched it, mind you. - Akiva
I figured he was forced-fed it on the plane. - Stephen Mack
We watched it in the hotel room. It was okay, though I like Zooey's signature character better when she's empowered (as in "(500) Days of Summer") more than the awkward and inept character she plays in New Girl. I love the Douchebag Jar though. - Kevin Fox
We watched the first 10 minutes after Glee. I liked it! I think once they get into their groove it'll be a hit. - Benjamin Golub
All that hard work of promoting the pilot that Kevin mentioned did pay off: The ratings for "New Girl" were very good. http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011... - Stephen Mack
