"Sun Tattoo is a soft stencil which can be used for making the tattoo pattern on the skin by sunshine. It’s better to use it with sunless tanning cream." ~~~~ ehhhhhhh o_O - Live4Emma (L4S) from Bookmarklet
LOL - Mona Nomura
Too bad she looks like a couch now. - Geoff Schultz {TF}
So when you get skin cancer, it's in a pretty shape? Mmhmm.... - Will Higgins™
Will: Melanoma shaped flowers. Beautiful. - Manuel Mas
Did anyone else notice that is not a before and after pic? Also, my mom and I totally thought of this on a small scale, like temporary tattoo kinda things. - <3Heather<3
@Geoff Sometimes I have an overwhelming compulsion to vote up comments (too much StackOverflow) ... Couch ... <chuckle> - Tom Horn
妙にエロカッコイイな、これ。/Tatoo入れなくても身体に模様入れることができることはよーくわかった。 - Sakurai.Catshop from fftogo
Suddenly I feel the need to shop for doilies - James Watters
Oh yeah...make your own, James! o_O - Live4Emma (L4S) from iPhone
actually, I think it's kinda neat. - Chieze Okoye
crazy idea. LoL :) - Oguz Serdar
My brothers and I tried sun stenciling ourselves when we were kids. Despite our pale Irish skin cancer-prone complexions. - Spidra Webster
If you're someone who tans well and you can keep the paper close to your skin, it turns out well. If you're like me and go directly from pale to pink, which then fades to more freckles, not so much. - Spidra Webster
No way it would turn out that well defined. - Brad Connell

Find Friendfeeders Across The Web - v0.1 - http://haochen.me/ffweb/
This tool finds all the sites that your Friendfeed friends use and allows you to filter the results by service. - Hao Chen from Bookmarklet
Please test, and let me know if it works. Suggestions gladly welcome. - Hao Chen
Wow. - Rah-PM 2012
Hao, this is awesome! Remember how people were saying in the FF Feedback room, how they'd like services to be linked, but not important the feeds? THIS is the temp. solution. WOW. Are you going to implement a way to filter individually? - Mona Nomura
It doesn't actually do that, Mona. If your account is in Friendfeed, it goes into your feed. Hao Chen is merely making it easier to get the URLs from FriendFeed. - Mark Trapp
Looks great. I guess I'll have to look into Social Graph API a bit deeper. It's so much faster than FF API for network data. - Benedikt Koehler
Oops, I meant UN-LINK services so it'll stop pulling into their feed BUT still enable their friends to link to their respective accounts. Thank you for catching that, Mark. - Mona Nomura
Great job Hao - Zee.
It should be possible to use the Social Graph API to find services that are not imported into Friendfeed as well as friends' services not on FF. It's a bit tricky because it requires a lot of separate requests. Right now, it's only using the SG API to find your subscriptions across the services you import on FF. - Hao Chen
Thanks, just don't look at the source code. LOL - Hao Chen
Hao, this is awesome, this is going to save me so much time! Thanks! - Shey
You're welcome. This is me though: http://www.xkcd.com/196/ - Hao Chen
Very cool. However, my tiny brain is not grokking " Remove Connections Already Subscribed To". Please to explain. - Laura Norvig
Laura, it's not very accurate, but it's supposed to remove links to people's accounts on the other networks you already subscribe to. For example, if I already subscribe to Bob on Twitter, it might remove the link to Bob's Twitter page in the big list. - Hao Chen
very kool Hao....Im finding my fellow FF on other services! - (jeff)isageek
Hao, this is very cool; I just used it to great success friending last.fm users. - Pete D
Hao, since I am the lone step child, any idea why it would not work for me. I typed in my ID, nothing happens, no spinning wheel indicating it is thinking. Just looks at my sad face....LOL. - R. Ferguson
Hoa - This is great. Can you add Blip.fm? - Russellreno
this is so awesome Hao - great job!!!!!!!! look out for random add notifications from me :) - Morgan
Aww..Ruth. What browser + ver + OS are you using? Is JavaScript turned on? Try this link? http://haochen.me/ffweb... - Hao Chen
Export to CSV please. :0) - Adam Helweh
wait visita is my OE, my browser is IE. i tried your link still did not work...bummer. - R. Ferguson
I love this Hao. - ChaCha Fance
*spoiler* I never debugged on IE! *spoiler* Sorry, Arne, and thanks for catching that. - Hao Chen
I'm going to have to play with this later...but since Hao is involved, I'm sure it rocks! - Justin Korn from fftogo
Works fine on Safari 3.1.2, FYI. - Mark Trapp
Just fixed for IE! Ruth, please try again? - Hao Chen
Being able to sort the URL data output by either person or service instead of only by person would be nifty. - Laura Norvig
Laura, like grouping all twitter links together for example? - Hao Chen
it worked Hao!!!! - R. Ferguson
How does that work?I type in some user name in it,nothing happen... - Steve Chou
Steve, what browser are you using? Any JavaScript errors? - Hao Chen
Glad to hear you guys are finding uses for it. @Russell Right now, the list of services it displays is the list of services being imported by people's FF accounts, and since Blip.fm isn't a supported service yet, I can't add that in easily. I'll think about how to use the Social Graph API more effectively to do those things though. - Hao Chen
This is just excellent, not wholly accurate like you say but brilliant. Now all I need is to add more contacts on FF ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Excellent work. - Nicholas Kreidberg
very cool Hao - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Another great tool Hao :) - sergiooo
Never seems to work for my own username. - Andrew Trinh
Thanks, guys. :) Andrew, ah, looks like Social Graph doesn't see your FF subscriptions for some reason. http://socialgraph-resources.g... I'll re-code this using the Friendfeed API to get your subscriptions later. - Hao Chen
Very cool Hao! I like seeing which less-common services people actually use. My list (and top 25 services) is http://friendfeed.com/e... Does your system count me twice for YouTube because I have 2 YouTubes? (seems like it might, from the Blog counts). - Mitchell Tsai
It's not working for me either when I input my username. - Steve Lowe
Ditto steplow. Looks like it should be awesome but sadly it's drawing a blank for my username. :( - David Young
Great job, Hao - LouCypher
For anyone not getting results for their username, I'll post a fix soon, and let you know. - Hao Chen
@Mitchell Yes, it does count twice. - Hao Chen
Wonderful tool for improving connections. Thank you. - Keith - @tsudo
Is there any way to import the links to a Google Spreadsheet via the ImportXML function? See http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007... and http://docs.google.com/support.... It seems it's impossible right now as the outputs appear via javascript. You could adapt it so that I could create a Google Spreadsheet template.... more... - Jérôme
still works. - Hao Chen
I love this. - Laura Norvig
thanks. - Ali Oz

Stone vs iPhone
iphonee.png
Can be used as paperweight ✓ ✓ - Nathaniel Payne
Bunun nokia 3310lusuda var :) - loran the 'amorfati'
I choose stone : ) Better handling : ) - Selim Yoruk
Better standby time, too. - Jordan Hofker
Personally I'm waiting for the iPebble... - Johnny
Smash a rock into pieces and you get more. Smash an iphone, well, there aren't Nanos coming out. - Jordan Hofker
@Ahmet Buleeeeeent yorum yaz - MugeCerman
John: I remembered the flintstones' infant daughter Pebbles Flintstone after your comment. She was using a phone like this Stone, wasn't she? : ) - Erhan Erdoğan
Which proves, people want less features, not more! LOL - Victor Ganata
Yeah, I'd rather have a stone than an iPhone. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Stones are also more theft deterrent. - Shawn Farner
Stone is cheaper - Morton Fox
bütün fuar gg oldu :) - Ömer Enis
Hey, there is a huge period of time that we now call the Stone Age. I doubt we will ever have an era named the iPhone Age. - Victor Ganata
Victor: Maybe Apple Age? - Erhan Erdoğan
Still: the Apple Age 1976-2008. The Stone Age 3 million BC-3000 BC. Steve Jobs ain't gonna be around *that* long (barring major innovations in life prolongation that I'm sure he'd be able to afford.) - Victor Ganata
When they came out they were hot ✓ ✓ - Benedikt Koehler
For most situations, I prefer the iPhone. I get really bad reception with my rock.. and it's hard to check my stocks and get directions to the pizza joint with it. But it works great as a makeshift mallet for pounding tent stakes when camping! My iPhone's a little to fragile for that. At least my iPhone can double as a flashlight in a pinch! - Jackson D. Carson
OK. I will downgrade to Stone. - Leon Ho
This is classic!! and I'm an iPhone fan!! - Bronwyn
:)) haha - Farzad
Worse is better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... ".. limited but exceptionally simple to use may be "better" than that is more comprehensive but harder to use ..." stone is better ;) - Turkey banned Bloggum :(
I'm sorry for this post, I wanna delete it now. :-) I had an iPhone gift and I'm very happy with my new Apple. She is really better than stone. http://friendfeed.com/e... :-) - Erhan Erdoğan
...because it has a touchscreen, right? O:-) - Marcos Marado
not touch..multi touch :) - Ömer Zahit Kara
Can knock you out when hit with it: ✓ X - Martha
Too funny! I have to leave a comment when I my laugh turns heads - Rick Bucich
I want to see stone 3.0 when it comes out. - Phil Boiarski
Stil choose the stone. Until someone buy me an iPhone. - İbrahim Uzun [ j ]
You can build a wall with a stone. - Martha
straight lulz. Wake the fuck up apple. OOOOOH COPY&PASTE COMING SOON!!! - LarchOye
How big (Kb) is a MMS message on average? - Johnny
I actually don't miss copy and paste. - Victor Ganata
Good question Johnny. Without an attachment, I think they're <5kb. After that, it depends on your attachment I guess! - Will Higgins™
An average MMS (according to Nokia) is 50KB. I pay 50c per MMS. Therefore I am paying 1c/KB or $10.24/MB or $10,485.76 per GB - Johnny

Hey, Saturday Night Fever is actually a good movie. If you can't get past the disco, you're not a serious movie watcher! - Cyrus Lendvay
I am somewhat ashamed to say that I haven't seen Saturday Night Fever Jannifer, I figure I should at some point right? Haven't seen Hudson Hawk or Last action Hero so I can't comment there. metageoff, it's been a long time, but I think I didn't mind Kingpin. - Rachel Lea Fox

I have no response to this whatsoever. I mean, I literally have no idea what to say about this. - ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
from "How to Pick up Women Using Science Fiction Plot Devices" by J. J. Abrams? i personally prefer the version where you are naked and have a nosebleed -- the whole tanning thing doesn't work as well for me -- and you explain that the two of you are in a relationship in the future, but that you screwed it up horribly and went back in time to make things right. bonus points for repeating "we have to go back!" and being able to weep on cue a la Jack Shepherd from "Lost." - Karim

Is 20% of Something Better Than 88% of Nothing? Flickr, Getty Images, Clustershot and the Future of Stock Photography - http://thomashawk.com/2009...
Getty to Offer Flickr Images for Sale
I thought I’d put out a post after I received my first earnings report (which I received today) from stock photography agency Getty Images. I signed up to have Getty represent 60 of my individual photographs as part of the recent deal between Getty Images and Flickr. The Flickr/Getty arrangement is by invite only and Getty initially selected about 90 of my images. I listed all of the images that they asked for that didn’t need model releases (which was 60). Most of the other images that they wanted where model releases were needed are of me or my family, so I’ll probably add those to the collection as well in the next few weeks. So in my first month of production with Getty I sold two of the 60 images. Those two images totaled $689.97 in fees to Getty and $138.00 (my 20% cut) to me. At the same time that I’d signed up with Getty I also listed 24,917 of my photos with the upstart stock photography agency Clustershot. Clustershot, started by Canadian web development company silverorange... more... - Thomas Hawk
Pretty dismal return for both sites. I wouldn't have expected much from Clustershot, but with 25K photos on their site, you would think if they had any traffic, there would have been some sales. My guess is Clustershot has little to no real traffic from people looking to buy photos. - Jeff P. Henderson
thanks for sharing this Thomas. its seems like once again, Getty wins out. Clustershot looks interesting but unless they have some inside tracks to advertisers/buyers they will end up just like the others (ie Photoshelter and the like). I do wish them luck though. I'd like to see more companies like this spring up and be successful. - Carlos Ayala
Personally, I think in the long run ClusterShot or a company like them will have a chance. Photrade is another one out there with high photographer payouts. If the internet is good at anything, it's good at squeezing out the middleman, which today is Getty. Then again, one could make a pretty strong case that the value provided to the photographer by Getty is worth something. Maybe not 80% of the profit, but something more than 12% for sure. - Thomas Hawk
ClusterShot responded via email to this post and I added their email to this article as an update as well. - Thomas Hawk
Thank you Thomas for sharing it. Very interesting read. - Neya
Thanks for sharing Thomas! I was just looking at ClusterShot (literally a few hours before this post) and their site looks very interesting, however, I found it extremely slow to work with. For example, when I clicked on your name to load your pictures, it took roughly 1 - 2 minutes to load (maybe more). That is ridiculous. Perhaps using their service on a personal website (through an API) will be more beneficial right now. We'll see how their service builds out... - Justin Korn
This is a common problem with the new photo selling sites. I call it the pizza delivery problem. Where I grew up there were dozens of pizza places within a few miles of my house. But, when I wanted to order a pizza, there were 1 or 2 that I would call 99% of the time. Where the others better or worse? No, I just hadn't eaten there before, and as a result, I never tried them. Same thing... more... - mike
I also received my last month earnings report from Getty today…..I have 65 images in the Flickr Getty collection and I sold 7 photos last month. 5 were to USA buyers including a couple of big ad agencies. Two were to foreign companies in Germany and Spain. Sale prices ranged from $49 to just shy of $400 per image - and my earnings (commissions) were almost $300 for the month. So, for... more... - Jeff Clow
Thanks for the info. Will you be in Chicago Saturday? - Mark Williamson from BuddyFeed
Jeff, Congrats on that! 7 photos is great. Were they all 7 different? Were some the same? Mark, I will be in Chicago on Sat. We'll meet at the Bean at 6pm for a photowalk. Looking forward to seeing you there! - Thomas Hawk
Yikes! While I'm happy that you have a way of selling your work, is 20% common? Why so much overhead? - JCunwired
that's the market right now jcunwired. At least at Getty. 20% is also what they pay at iStockphoto. Right now they are the market leader. It would be interesting to see Corbis come out with a similar program to throw a little competition in there. I'm sure a lot of this will be changing in the next few years. I've always thought 20% feels low, even though Getty brings an awful lot to the table and not just in terms of their existing buyers. Their service is quite strong and professional as well. - Thomas Hawk

What are people using for FriendFeed on the iPhone? An app (if so which one) or the iphone web interface or the standard web interface?
Nambu works works will and is a freebie! - Ron Brett
I've got BuddyFeed installed but I tend to use http://friendfeed.com/iphone/ in Safari as all the information I need is on one page. - John Francis
I'm trying out buddyfeed and friendfoo. Both work well, but friendfoo is free. Web based. - Charles from BuddyFeed
I'm very happy with using http://friendfeed.com/iphone/ - Ward Seward
i just started using motherfeed - B2B Specialist
BuddyFeed has been my favorite for a while now ... - Patrick Jordan
Nambu works with friendfeed, twetter and ping.fm - David Foucher
BuddyFeed. The UI is snappier than the iPhone site and I don't need to sacrifice a Safari tab. I wasn't happy with Nambu cuz it sacrifices FF features by trying to do too much. - David Chartier
I had a similar feeling with Nambu, and also found it less solid (buggy / crashiness wise) than BuddyFeed ... - Patrick Jordan
I was using MotherFeed but didn't really like it too much - Simon Tracey
Buddyfeed loaded today. So far I like it better than safari or nambu - Julian Seery Gude from BuddyFeed
I've just realized you can customize the BuddyFeed toolbar to include Comments and Likes icons. This is so much better now. - John Francis from BuddyFeed
Thanks all. I just bought BuddyFeed. It seems to work quite well. Better than Motherfeed or Nambu (which crashes frequently). - John Collis
I'm using friendfeed.com/iphone and I'm finding it very functional - Andrew Wielandt
played with buddyfeed beta and nambu. dont really have a favorite - Isaac Zahavi
just using the iphone version of friendfeed.com - edythe
BuddyFeed - but there are times the screen doesn't refresh properly - - LPH™ and his dog P™

Do you know any programmers that exhibit these personality traits…? « Learning Lisp - http://lispy.wordpress.com/2008...
"Capable of working through entire books of information; does especially well with brief descriptions/examples followed by exercises. Capable of working for extended periods of time. Capable of relating the information to other experiences/activities in creative ways. A strong “visionary” streak. Good in brainstorming sessions. A strong focus on the implications of new ideas/frameworks/strategies. Can do a great deal on his own, but will often miss key techniques due to his “detail blindness” and lack of thoroughness– he relies on common sense, inspiration, and brute force in order to keep up with “normal people.”" - Lindsay from Bookmarklet
This guy also has another really good post: http://lispy.wordpress.com/2008... It's scary how much that describes me. - Lindsay
he or she :) - anna sauce
Right, anna... he talks about it from his personal perspective so he used "he"... I don't get why people were in such a miff about that. It can (and does) apply to women too... he wasn't trying to offend us but obviously can't really write it from the female perspective. Omission doesn't mean exclusion. :) - Lindsay
Wow, wow, wow - he couldn't have more totally pegged me if he tried. I don't so much see Lindsay like that (though she shares a lot of those traits), but the thing about organization is EXACTLY me. Everything in that list is me. It's like he's studied me for years. Weird. - iTad
Most of the things that he says that don't seem like I have that trait to you are just because I have been trained otherwise: My mom is a neat-freak and so I know HOW to organize and SEE things that are a mess and need to be cleaned, but it's still hard to motivate myself to take care of them, especially when there's something "better" to do. - Lindsay
There are a lot of people identifying with what's said in this post, according to the huge comment list. One liner and multiple paragraph comments. - Stu Andrews
It's easy to read a list and "see" the points in yourself. I'd say from my perspective I'm all of those things to some extent, even though, as you intimated Lindsay I might have been trained, or trained myself, otherwise. That's self-diagnosis though, and there were only one or two comments in the list where people were commenting about someone else. - Stu Andrews
Lindsay, thankyou for friendfeeding this, it was a REALLY thought-provoking piece :) I've passed it round to the handful of other devs here, and it's started conversations instantly. - Stu Andrews
Wow. That second post is as disturbingly perceptive as the first. "To most people, “it’s just words”… but this guy spends so much time in his own head, he doesn’t really differentiate between ideas and reality. Ideas *are* reality to this guy!" - Stu Andrews
Sorry, will stop hogging this thread. Had to laugh though, reality check with this comment. "Bruce Says: August 28, 2008 at 1:37 pm I call shenanigans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’re all misunderstood geniuses. Right. In 20+ years of working in this industry I’ve never met anyone like this who I’d describe as a genius. Generally, the real words that come to mind are “pain in the ass”, “loser”,... more... - Stu Andrews
I've run into a few of those programmers... they have gaps in their knowledge, sometimes they have really limited experience and are not sure how to approach a new technology ...then they're dangerous cuz they have to hide their ignorance. - Susan Beebe
Sometimes in these breakdowns everyone wants to ascribe it to a personality disorder, instead of just... a personality. Not perfect, but not abnormal, in that normal is a combination of traits. - anna sauce
I don't think it's a "disorder" either... There's going to be a segment of the population that has those traits... they're necessary and productive in some circumstances and so benefit the gene pool of the species. But I think that they're a pretty rare combination, or at least not a commonly recognized one and these blog posts do a good job of cataloging the aspects. - Lindsay
@Susan, you're right, that personality can be "dangerous" in younger, more inexperienced programmers... There is such a big desire to "prove your worth" that people can get themselves into trouble and ego battles. It takes years, but eventually you learn how to deal with it and become a good consultant-type (or not and you end up a short-term contractor hopping around forever...). - Lindsay
I don't really think it's about being a "genius". I just think it's a different way of perceiving the world... and because it's so analytical and we build models of reality in our heads and compare their validity that other people don't take the time or effort to then it seems like we're smarter, simply because we're able to see the world from so many angles. We tend to dismiss people who don't do that as "stupid", "close-minded" or even "intellectually lazy". - Lindsay
Letting Jason read... - Cyndy
Cyndy! LOL! - Susan Beebe
Lindsay - well said!! Experience is definitely the key... you got it! - Susan Beebe
These two recent blog posts seem to pin down some of the more generic aspects of the phenomenon: http://lbrandy.com/blog... and http://www.randsinrepose.com/archive...

I always knew that the Japanese have a dose of craziness but I guess that’s what you get when you let NY-based architect-poets and “reversible destiny” philosophers Arakawa & Gins to design your building (if you’re in Japan). - Mitchell Tsai from Bookmarklet
Designed for the young these are the Reversible Destiny Lofts, promoting powerful colors that will tickle your senses and force you to use balance, physical strength and imagination. That if you choose to rent one of these lofts with uneven floors, oddly positioned power switches and outlets, irregularly shaped curtainless windows or if you don’t mind a transparent shower room. It will cost you 220,000 and 250,000 yen ($2,000/$2,400) per month, but it’s Tokyo. - Mitchell Tsai
I could see it being a great TV studio for reality TV, but the design here just isn't practical. Some of the spaces are just poorly thought out. I still like the way they used color and I hope architects can in the future incorporate that element more. - NoahDavidSimon
