Mmmmmm.. Never seen that before, but looks delicious. - Shawn Farner
OMG more sugar craziness!! LOL This marshmallow craze is awesome!! - Susan Beebe
I'm going to be sick. - Denton Gentry
You know, I like sugary treats as much as the average six yr-old, but woooooah! And on that note, I think I need to find the ice cream in my freezer. - MiɳiMagɘ is EnderMage
Paul, you need an Executive Marshmallow Shooter Gun!! http://www.orvis.com/store/pro... See here on FF http://friendfeed.com/e/9c0273... - Susan Beebe
That's CRAZY, man!!! - Lin-ZAY
Those look so delicious. I am definitely going to have to try that LOL - Matt Donders
Mr. Mage has a marshmallow shooter, but he's never bought any marshmallows. - MiɳiMagɘ is EnderMage
Mini - go buy him some!! - Susan Beebe
As soon as I'm done picking up the plastic BBs he shot throughout the house a couple of years ago ;) - MiɳiMagɘ is EnderMage
Blech! I watched (and smelled) the stuff being made and it made my stomach turn. - April Buchheit
You're a tougher woman than me, April...I think I'd go into a sugar coma just being within smelling distance. - Lin-ZAY
they were ok, the the caramel ones were definitely better - the caramel marshmallows will get made again, these ... probably not :P - bob

FF dual mode!  Check this out - I've got FF loaded in "realtime" mode in the sidebar and "standard" in the main window!  very cool!!

If you're using Firefox try this out!! it's dope!! - Susan Beebe
this could make me go cross-eyed though..hmmm - Susan Beebe
I like having it just sit in my sidebar while I do other work. When I see it move I just glance over to see what it was. - Matt Donders
interesting! - Mohomed=genieyclo
to reproduce this setup in Windows, do this --> Firefox - Get FF in the Mini Window mode; then press Ctrl+B to open the sidebar, then when the sidebar pops up, select the little green icon next the red X circle. this will place the mini--window in the side bar. Then for the main screen, select "standard" and there you have it. - Susan Beebe
Dizzy yet ??? :) - Charlie Anzman
oh yeah! - Susan Beebe
I feel stupid because I don't have the little green icon. - The Amber
Just did this myself.. very cool! I had to use the star in the mini-window to bookmark the URL, then I opened the bookmark properties in firefox and checked the "open in sidebar" check box, and then clicked on it. Wa-laa - Phil Glockner For Hire
Amber - I am sorry.. I just realized that little green icon must be a FireFox add on - try installing this Firefox add-on --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Susan Beebe
AJ solved the issue sans add-on. Thanks though. - The Amber
AJ's related post is here -- great stuff! -- http://friendfeed.com/e/dc14fd... - Susan Beebe

“FF Confessional time: How many of you spend way too much on electrical devices with a power switch?”
July 10 at 10:31 pm - Link
I'll go first. Last November I had a total of five phones with four different carriers because they all came out at once. Verizon-Voyager; T-mobile-SideKick and BB Curve; AT and T-iPhone; Sprint-Treo ....wow I ended up keeping my BlackBerry and iPhones.... double wow - Mona N.
First thought that came to mind: dildo LOL - Hao Chen
How is anyone supposed to top that?! - Shawn Farner
My addiction is really bad.... but I also hustle my way out of activation fees and in CA you can 'trial' the phone for 30 days. If anyone wants to know differences in features and functions + services I'll be more than happy to answer questions lol - Mona N.
I really need to get a job - Adrienne Van Houten
...oh and I also signed up for T-mobile's Hot-Spot add on plus alpha my service =\ - Mona N.
Hao: .....I'm a few cocktails short of retorting with wit to taht haha - Mona N.
Pretty much the entirety of my awakened day involves something with a power switch. A little crazy when you think about it. - Jared Smith
I also bought the USB aquarium and the Hello Kitty Coffee maker. in pink =\ - Mona N.
How many surge protectors do you have in your house? ...am I seriously the only one who's going to keep spilling? Fine, I have three iPods... Two MacBooks (one core two duo and another simply intel), and a MacBook Pro... Two PCs (XPS and my janky put together from scrap PC), a Toshiba laptop, and one Linux server - Mona N.
Hmmm ok I don't think I can top you but so far this year I bought a new laptop, 5 different bose headsets, a canon rebel xti, sprint broadband card (returned), verizon broadband card (returned), spint-ppc6800 (returned), sprint-rumor, a sirius stiletto 2, and a tiny shuffle... yeppers - Brandon
Batteries FTW! - l0ckergn0me
@mona ... it's fun to spill but I usually end up deleting my entries =\ - Brandon
@b why? actually re-reading this.. i seriously am embarrassed for myself lol - Mona N.
My CrackBerry doesn't have a power switch, its on all the time. - Matt Donders via fftogo
@m ... awww, well that's pretty much how I feel after I spill. :( - Brandon
OK, Mona, I'll bite. XPS One (using as media center), XPS laptop (with me always), Inspiron laptop, another "beige box" (actually black) currently in pieces, 46" and 55" HDTV's, 2 Treos, 2 iPods, 3 bluetooth headsets, bluetooth GPS device (connects to Treo and laptop), Eneloop batteries (are awesome), a DVR, 3 DVD players, several external hard drives (totaling almost 3 terabytes), a couple scanners, a couple printers, two routers, a 22" monitor connecting to my laptop, and 3 electric toothbrushes! :) I had to intall 2 additional power lines in one room because I kept blowing the circuit breakers! LOL - Oliver Ortega Chua
Oh, yeah...I forgot my 4 shavers! Hair, face, nose and, um...you know. :) - Oliver Ortega Chua
I'm on FriendFeed, watching Jim Norton on HBO On Demand, uploading photos to Snapfish for printing deal, reading my blackberry, talking on my cell phone, and reading Google Reader - David Thomas
i just got rid of two computers on tuesday... including my imac from 1999... but there is nothing i can do to top Mona. :) @B, that's a good list. :) - edythe
BTW, Synch Chargers keep the insanity to a minimum. Highly recommended! http://www.syncharger.com/ OK, going offline...I need to go home! - Oliver Ortega Chua

I downloaded the latest version of iTunes after reading this, but no Apps in the store. Is it just me? - gregory
@Greg -- You need iTunes 7.7 to get Applications. Go to the iTunes store, search for Remote and you will see Applications as a search result in the middle of the page. Click that app and then navigate around in the Applications section. Link to all free apps: http://tinyurl.com/5fv8rs - Matt Donders
@Matt thanks, that's pretty tricky - gregory
Yep, there are no references to the app store on the front page (yet). Some direct links to app categories and various apps: http://bit.ly/4oYSEG - Wes Justice

Some real good advice there. I am not sure how I feel about the tip on composition, but everything else seems interesting. I have recently started to get LOW and shoot up on subjects and wow what a difference. - Matt Donders via twhirl
Best one is tip 5, get the subject out of their comfort zone. I think I'm going to be emplying this one myself soon. - Saul Mora via twhirl
Matt - be careful of the "double chin" effect when using the "looking up" technique. It is one of my favorite as well, but some people will despise you :) - Justin Korn
