oh boy, here comes the finger pointing...that sure didn't take long - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
wow that was fast.. u gotta admit giving the community they built 2 weeks and its gone is a bit harsh. - Jay Martinez
whole-heartedly agree with that post. Kevin let pownce die, he really only used it to share stuff, but stuck with twitter for the bulk of everything else. - Jay Martinez

I think I earned one in a recent poll but I haven't seen it in the mail yet. Maybe TN gets slower USPS delivery. - Daniel J. Pritchett

Great picture!! BTW, my cat loves mine - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Wow, I just noticed that Louis included "@jasongoldberg" in this FriendFeed post, presumably so that social|median will message Jason once it slurps this post from Louis's FF stream. Emergent magic! - Daniel J. Pritchett
Louis is SMART Daniel! :) - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
@Daniel and @Susan, the reason I did that is my native entries on FriendFeed go to Twitter, so putting @usernames does just what it does on Twitter. - Louis Gray

Death of the Girl Scout Cookie?
Death of the Girl Scout Cookie?
1 hour ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"With membership falling, the Girl Scouts hired a management consulting team and came up with one solution: de-emphasize the cookies." wtf? HELL NO. - Mona N. via Bookmarklet

WTH! that is the best thing about them! - Shevonne Polastre
That's what *I'M* saying. If they start selling organic vegetarian crap, I will seriously start kicking some butt. - Mona N.
No Thin Mints?? nuh uh! - Yolanda
I see protests forthcoming... - Mike L via twhirl
That is unfortunate because many troops use cookie sales to generate all or a good portion of the funds they have to operate each year. - Jeff P. Henderson
The cookies are, I agree, delicious. However, I have seen some serious infighting between territorial scout moms who will do anything to have their precious snuggums sell the most cookies. It can get cutthroat. - Phil Glockner
Sorry. We already lost Mother's Animal Cookies, so this isn't going to work for me. - Anika Malone
It's all a part of the competition, J. Phil! Girl Scouts = Cookies. And who ARE those consultants? Seriously. - Mona N.
Noooooooooooooo.....Must have Samoas! - Michelle Martinez
WHAT???? This better be a joke... - Live4Soccer
Michelle, make samoas at home! They're NOM... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Jeff has a good point. Some troops would never be able to do much without the revenue generated by cookie sales. They could do bake sales, but Girl Scout Cookies have name recognition. I always look forward to Girl Scout cookie time...partly because I was once a scout myself. - Jill, Superhero Librarian
Tina, Oh nom, homemade Samoas! - Michelle Martinez
Keep selling the cookies. If they want to increase membership then maybe the Girl Scouts should be something more than glorified Home Ec. - xero
We stopped buying GG cookies when all other cookie manufacturers starting removing trans fats and the GG manufacturer hasn't. I'm sure we're responsible for a significant decline in cookie revenues. - Kenton
I'll buy them as long as they sell them. I love Samoas. - Judy Jones
xero, it's clear you have no idea what GSA does. It's WAAAAAAAY more than "glorified Home Ec". That description doesn't even approach the activities GSA offers. - Anika Malone
I know what they are supposed to do, but that isn't what all of the local chapters actually do. It's up to each individual troop to organize and lead activities. I've never talked to anyone who was in the GSA who described their experience and expectations as more than cooking, cleaning, balancing a checkbook, occasional camping, and charity work. Perhaps they have changed to both enforce and reward personal achievement and varied practical skills, but the image hasn't changed. - xero
Never had that experience myself in GSA. We did leadership activities in 8-week blocks. The locals here, so the same thing. I've never head of a GS troop doing cooking, cleaning and all that. My sister's troop was all science and map. Mine was focused on business. - Anika Malone
I was cookie champ for our unit in 1971...we had boxes from top to bottom in our garage...and I would miss my once-a-year thin mints and samoas...but each year it is harder to find a girl scout who is selling them. - Bonita Garrabrant
Sounds like each one goes about on its own focus. The [scant] awards and ranks sound fairly open ended as well. Perhaps they should take a note from the BSA and institute a strict set of skills, actions, and knowledge that should be known to advance the ranks. Then at least the world would know what the end result of a Gold Award (and change that name) really means. The consulting firm may be on the right track to "de-emphasis the cookies", they are becoming the image. - xero

People Buying Used PCs for Salvage Copies of Windows XP
People Buying Used PCs for Salvage Copies of Windows XP
1 hour ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Apparently, according to IDC and computer repair outfit Rescuecom, it's cheaper for businesses to pick up a used PC with Windows XP, than it is to buy a brand new computer with Vista and downgrade it." wtf? - Mona N. via Bookmarklet

Too funny! and also a good idea. - Jeff P. Henderson
But what the writer said is true: why not snag a volume license from your work place? haha - Mona N.
Where I used to work sent back new computers because of Vista. We couldn't get our programs to work with it. - Vera Hannaford
Wait, it's cheaper to buy a used computer than a brand new one? Gosh. That must be Vista's fault... I mean, there's reasons to make fun of vista, but noting that used computers are cheaper than new ones? Um. Slow news day at ComputerWorld, I guess. :) - felix
HAHAHA. Wow, I thought I was insane this weekend looking for old laptops with XP on them. [sings] "You are not alone...I am here with you. - Anika Malone
@felix: I think the point is that acquiring an old computer for the sole purpose of salvaging a copy of XP is cheaper than downgrading from Vista. So an old computer + XP = cheaper than Vista + downgrading to XP (not cheaper than the new computer + downgrading). Not as "duh" as it seems. - Jan Dawson
this is funny - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
If those used computers were originally bundled with WinXP OEM aren't they *not* transferable (legal technicality-wise)? - Micah Wittman

The (Hilarious) Bailout of Silicon Valley Auto Maker Tesla
23 minutes ago - Link
Thanks for shining the bright light of truth and justice, Allen! "First, let's begin with a number of disclosures. Something that you would think the $100 million-valued Huffington Post would require of their authors but apparently that's not the case. Calacanis' company Mahalo has received funding from Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk. In addition, Jason's brother-in-law and Mahalo investor Ryan Scott is also a Tesla Motors investor. Boy that's something the readers of the Huffington Post piece should know, right?" - Daniel J. Pritchett
Thanks Daniel! - Allen Stern

“The boots-outside-the-jeans phenom (and not snowboots, but zip-up suede high heeled boots) is killing me. KILLING ME.”
7 hours ago - Link
But only slightly more than the unsightly Uggs and the crappy Crocs phenomenon. I mean, really people. Have some self-respect. - ωαřмaiden
18 more comments
thank you re: Uggs - I get the comfort factor, I get the warm factor I don't get the walking around Los Angeles in 90 degree whether with arctic footwear on - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
The place for warm ugly footwear is in the snow. Just like mom told me there was a place for velour track suits - in the livingroom, and never past the threshold of the house. - ωαřмaiden
I hear you! On the boots outside the pants, the uggs, the crocs (Audio Girl swears by them I think they are weird). But can we also re-consign leggings to bad 80s memories? If you're not 13 or under (in which case they might be acceptable under a skirt)...No/bad. Wearing them as "pants" is not appropriate . - Abigail (Hε₫§εhσ§ ĺﺃβ)
I agree - snowboots - good/perfect, trendyboots (NOT DOCS - they are timeless) - bad. Very, very bad. - Karen Mohler via twhirl
Abigail, I've only see one woman who pulled off the leggings, long sweater and boots thing well. Most women look like a poor imitation of something that looked good years ago. And I h*te UGGS! Must all of you young people wear them? If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do it too? - Jill Hurst-Wahl
last year at Montreal Airport I noticed that all the hip skinny gals were wearing their jeans rolled up in wide cuffs to the top of their skin tight high heeled boots. I'm just glad that was an apparent anomaly.... - RudĩϐЯaЯïaȵ
it becomes clearer and clearer to me that fashion passed me right on by... - Jenica
Marco, word. Almost 20 yrs. ago, I would make fun of my snowboarding friends for wearing their Uggs outside Big Bear or Mammoth. Now...it's just...ugh. - Anika Malone
but everything from the 80s is coming back now!!! - Monique
I don't like that boots outside the jeans thing either. - g. warbucks
Yup, it's the '80s all over again. Miss16 asked for leg warmers this year. ack. don't need this kind of flashback. - Christa Burns
I will give pregnant women a pass on the leggings plus big sweater/shirt, but that's it. Crocs belong in the garden. I never "got" Uggs. - Katy Southern
But back to War Maiden's point; I agree. It looks sloppy. It's the complete opposite of sexy, having jeans bunched up around the knees. It wasn't cute in the 70s, so why bring it back? - Anika Malone
i was at huntington beach pier this past weekend. there were a bunch of teenie-boppers wearing UGGs outside of jeans, some with shorts and tanktops. maybe there is a bad circulation thing going on down there or someting, but they all looked like really cute morons. I'm not fond of the UGGs look, but there's no denying the cute surfer girl thing. if only they wore Vans instead! - Morgan Haley
If you're that cold, cover your midriff and your asscheeks and see if that works before jumping on the ugly-ass shoe train. (That's what i tell my undergrad kids in class.) - ωαřмaiden
I have to defend Crocs for those of us with foot problems. And they do have a few attractive styles out. But the UGGs, I don't get. I wouldn't even wear those impractical things in real snow, so what's the point. There is a reason they're called UGGs. They make you want to UGG all over. - Jill, Superhero Librarian
The only good thing about Uggs is they help me determine with 99% accuracy those individuals who are too young for me to date. - рneum@tic
other than the fashion weirdness of Uggs, I've never quite gotten how boots made for putting on after surfing in Australia (thus, for wearing in warm weather) looked so much like winter boots, or came to be worn as winter boots? They just fail the logic test for me as well! - RudĩϐЯaЯïaȵ
pneum@tic: Too True!!! Funny!!! - Morgan Haley
Only 3 things I wear on my feet: my Cobbie Cuddler sandals till chance of frost bitten toes occurs, then comes the old Nike sneakers till it snows, then comes the classically styled black suede Sporto boots. (it's a comfort thing) - April Russo

Why I Love Twitter
yesterday at 8:44 am - Link
"Funny, I first saw your Tweet on FriendFeed. I think you're missing the point of FriendFeed, but that's OK. Out of the 4,600 I'm following on FriendFeed you're on my top 10 list for most interesting. When I see you later in the month we'll talk about why you have FriendFeed wrong. Oh, and FriendFeed will never kill either Twitter or Facebook. If I ever said that I was wrong to say that. I see FF as an add-on to Twitter now." - Robert Scoble

the best place for meta-chatting ain't it? - Louis Choquel via twhirl
FF is just a complier. Twitter is where you get info firsthand. - Bob Blunk
Bob, I see a lot on here first. Lots of tweets from twitterers I don't yet follow. It's easier here to find interesting folk to follow. - Nicola Quinn
Nicola: I could not agree more, but FF still just mostly complies information that people enter on other sites. - Bob Blunk
LOL I agree w/ Nicola, and it begs the question is it even necessary to follow then? I suppose here is where you could say twittrt & ff comepete w/ eachother$ - sofarsoshawn
FF is more conversational; Twitter is essentially a multicast/broadcast tool. I find myself commenting/replying here, but posting new things of my own to Twitter (knowing they'll be picked up by FF). - John
John: just the opposite for me. i post to ff knowing it will go to twitter. ff is my dashboard at this point. - Brendten Eickstaedt
I'm the other way around due to twitter 140 char limit. - thomasrdotorg
yep. love that ff is smart enough to put an ff.im in the post 2 so that ur entire post is available to twitterers 2 - Brendten Eickstaedt
I find it kind of odd that Tim was responding to Robert's comments on Backtype, but didn't want to see "friendfeed with comments"... - anna
Mostly but not always Bob. I posted a message here which started a discussion that was only on here. - Nicola Quinn
sofarsoshawn - Yes I still think it's necessary to follow people. I like to chat to people on Twitter I've found here. - Nicola Quinn
John, yes FF is more conversational but I like the randomness of Twitter too. - Nicola Quinn
Twitter is updates, fun and crazy, FF is the tool used to update all those applications like itself, and FF is information, updates, interesting, conversations.. - Brendon Wadey
