mee too. - ideali

Interesting. Putting all the blog posts into one big file could be nice; I've done something like that before but not for a blog. I like my Publish button being explicit though. I have changes automatically put on my staging server, check it out, and then publish explicitly. - Amit Patel

What's he like in person? :) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

LMAO at Gunny. - Gimminy

"A bit about me: I'm respectful, quiet, clean and I won't bother any of your shit. If you leave shit out, I'm just like, "Oh fuck I better not mess with this shit, because it's not mine." I turn off lights. I clean toilets. Fuck it. I'll even cook for you. That's right! My dad is a chef and taught me everything there is to know about cooking southern cajun cuisine. I'll fry green tomatoes, cover them with marinated crab meat and smother that shit in bearnaise. EVERY. GODDAMN. NIGHT. Don't eat meat? That's fucking FANTASTIC! I'll make a zucchini and yellow squash carpaccio that will knock your fucking socks off." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

Also, someone who isn't smart enough to know that your new employer will probably try to google you up to learn more about you in the meantime probably isn't the sharp tack you thought he was. He may very well have talent in marketing, but the Craigslist ad isn't proof of that at all. I'd take him on as a roommate for sure. As an employee at a corporation? If this was my intro to him,... more... - Hookuh Tinypants

We can only hope one of them will. Even better: The ATT / T-Mobile merger is denied. Apple buys one of them, Google buys the other. The mobile carrier market needs some serious disruption. - Tinfoil 2.0

The first thought that came into my head was "Aircraft Carrier" to use as a Datacenter... - Stuart Woodward

Paul, can you still change the FF source code? Just for tonight, I need to Like this about eight more times. - Mary B: #TeamMonique

What did you learn from your reverse chronology? - Eric Borisch from iPod

How did those drafts get in there from seven years ago? - Louis Gray

"Firstly, a group of five characters representing specific cultural icons (Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower, Statue of Liberty, Silhouette of Japan and Statue of Moyai) have been vigorously opposed because they give the appearance of setting a precedent for encoding hundreds of other characters representing cultural or nationalistic icons, such as the Great Wall of China, the Pyramids of Giza, the Eiffel Tower, Tower Bridge, Mount Kilimanjaro, etc. etc. Some of us would have prefered to encode generic versions of these characters (e.g. Snow-Capped Mountain instead of Mount Fuji), but Google insisted that these characters had specific semantics that generic versions of the characters would not be able to represent, so in the end they were accepted as is." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

Wonderful, Jim. - Private Sanjeev

"An anonymous Malaysian businessman just spent $4.8 billion on a superyacht covered in platinum and gold, making it the most expensive yacht ever sold, according to Luxury Launches." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"Members of the U.S. Congress reported Wednesday they were continuing to carefully debate the issue of whether or not they should allow the country to descend into a roiling economic meltdown of historically dire proportions." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet

The Onion nails it again. - Tudor Bosman

Spotify is excellent. - Louis Gray

My European friends have been raving about Spotify for some time. Now I get it -- it's great. Within 30 minutes I had starred for easy access dozens of my favorite songs. (And thanks, Louis Gray, for the Spotify invite.) - Sean McBride

Um... and I got booted for my "Tinfoil LogEx" name? Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. - Tinfoil 2.0

caj, I can see my Stream, Notifications, and Incoming. I just can't take any action on anything. Kind of the same way Quora has me blocked. Also can't share or like in Reader or Buzz. - Tinfoil 2.0

Or a mouth and fingers. haha - Shevonne

at times I wish they just did not exist .. - Peter Dawson

I'd say just let Darwin handle it... - Gabe

"Complete protein is satiating. Our bodies absolutely require complete protein—but they also have a limited capacity to process protein in excess of our requirement. This shows up as what’s called “protein leverage”: people tend to consume food until they’ve ingested about 360 calories worth of complete protein. All other things being equal, if we eat foods high in protein, we consume less calories, and if we eat foods low in protein, we consume more. Therefore, if we want to sell an addictive and non-satiating food, we should keep it very low in protein (e.g. candy, cookies, potato chips). If it does contain protein, that protein should be incomplete—deficient in at least one essential amino acid—since the limiting factor for protein utilization is the least abundant essential amino acid. Guess what? Corn and wheat, the foundation of chips, crackers, cookies, and over 90% of the breakfast aisle, are both deficient in lysine. And both zein (corn protein) and gluten (wheat protein) are... more... - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

"Here’s a startling experiment: rats prefer saccharine and sugar to intravenous cocaine, even after previously becoming addicted to cocaine." - Gabe

Woah -- "As for the bulk of my time day-to-day, I'm thrilled to announce that Evan Williams, Jason Goldman and myself [Biz Stone] will be relaunching The Obvious Corporation as co-founders. Our plan is to develop new projects and work on solving big problems aligned along a simple mission statement: The Obvious Corporation develops systems that help people work together to improve the world. This is a dream come true!" - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

"It's so easy even a Caveman can do it." That was the tag line. Geico insults Caveman intelligence. Hilarity ensues. You. Must. Laugh. [Or so says Madison Avenue.] - AJ Kohn

Interesting... well... maybe they should throw the original ad back into the rotation or something. If one of the commercials I saw had that line in it I think it would make a lot more sense... Instead all I see is a newscaster caveman who acts like a complete tool whenever Geico comes up and I have no idea why. No funny. No laugh. Just ??? - Ross Miller

We iz so cute!!! It was an amazing wedding for an awesome couple!!! - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone

Congratulations, Ben and Megen! - Anne Bouey

cont'd. "To see ourselves plainly is, perhaps, impossible; it's hard to get through the day without a rationalization or two. It is when our dream of what we could be collides with the truth of what we are that the clang of cognitive dissonance both deafens and blinds us." p. 110 'Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart' - April Buchheit

I, too, would like to desperately hang on to the fantasy at all cost, Slippy. - April Buchheit

That first pic will just melt ya! :D - c.a.j.

"We implemented SSL False Start in Chrome 9, and the results are stunning, yielding a significant decrease in overall SSL connection setup times. SSL False Start reduces the latency of a SSL handshake by 30%1. That is a big number. And reducing the cost of a SSL handshake is critical as more and more content providers move to SSL." - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

As far as I can tell (and I haven't experimented with SPDY at all so I might be mistaken) HTTP runs on top of SPDY sort of like how vi runs on top of screen+ssh. Yes, the data going over TCP is binary but the application is using HTTP, with slight modifications. The SPDY layer gives multiplexing, compression, encryption. I don't know if it'll get adopted. The SSL False Start thing is separate, for standard HTTPS, and it seems like a big win for so little work, and I hope it works out. - Amit Patel

"God had a wife, Asherah, whom the Book of Kings suggests was worshiped alongside Yahweh in his temple in Israel, according to an Oxford scholar." - Simon from Bookmarklet

I bet they broke up when she found out about Jesus. - Private Sanjeev

Ah, thanks. Weird that he doesn't actually apologize. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone

"An airline is investigating the removal of two imams from a flight headed to North Carolina, ostensibly because passengers felt uncomfortable with their presence of the pair -- both clad in Islamic attire." [...] "The two -- who hold high religious positions in the Muslim community -- were headed to North Carolina for a conference on prejudice against Muslims, or Islamaphobia." - Tudor Bosman from Bookmarklet

Now their participation at that conference will be with a whole new level of first-hand knowledge. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo

Remember when we all felt bad about the Internment of Japanese at beginning of WW2? We're almost there... #binladenmadecowardsofusall - WarLord

Google's quietly been using their own faster protocol between Chrome and their servers. SPDY looks like it's an awesome improvement over HTTP. I hope more servers and browsers adopt it. - Amit Patel from Bookmarklet

+ 1! - Oguz Serdar

I've never seen the two in same room, same time. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!

No, I thought he looked like Brett (a different person). - Gabe
