SOCAL! There is an incredibly beautiful pink sunset happening right now. Hurry outside!
its dark here in NY - VAL D. Zone
but we had a overcast day so no sunset - VAL D. Zone

I got and posted the sunset from my state. I triple-dog-dare you to look at it! - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Robert Scoble
For @syand3 and my boss @kr8tr -- why Rackspace pays me:
Rob La Gesse might correct me, but I am doing a few things for Rackspace. 1. I am its eyes and ears in Silicon Valley and SF tech regions, out of which a large proportion of its potential customers comes. - Robert Scoble
2. I watch for trends, new technologies, new companies, and things that Rackspace should pay attention to, learn more about, or build partnerships with. - Robert Scoble
He's lucky to have you, you're the best eyes/ears I've ever seen!! :) - Susan Beebe
3. I do a video show for http://building43.com that helps share these things with the world, along with our own internal learning. - Robert Scoble
4. I represent Rackspace on conference stages around the world, most recently at LeWeb which is the largest independent web conference in the world. Next week I'll be on stage a couple of times at CES. - Robert Scoble
Well, if we are doing our jobs right, I won't have to correct you - we'll be in sync - and we are :) - Rob La Gesse
5. I watch a large chunk of the tech industry on social networks like Twitter and Facebook and help Rackspace respond to customer pain and ideas. When Rackspace was down last month I pointed customers at information and more in real time before even Techcrunch wrote an article. - Robert Scoble
This is exactly what companies need to do everywhere. This is a terrific customer service model. - Susan Beebe
6. I work with high profile customers like Techcrunch and Mashable and make sure they remain happy with Rackspace. If not, at least they now have someone to call and yell at and/or make fun of in blog posts. ;-) - Robert Scoble
7. I study the world's best customer-focused companies and pass learning onto Rackspace. This past year I've visited Zappos and Tiny Prints, both highly service obsessed companies. In past I've visited Target, Boeing, and many other companies. - Robert Scoble
You also pass me leads, introduce me to people that might need hosting, introduce me to audiences that need cloud, etc. It's all about finding the influencers - and that's what you are really good at. It's a complex role that Robert makes look easy. It isn't. - Rob La Gesse
Thanks Susan, I appreciate that! - Robert Scoble
Yeah, Rob, lots of people don't see that part of my job, in 2010 Techcrunch switched from another hosting company to Rackspace and that led to this video: http://www.rackspace.com/blog... - Robert Scoble
But really I'm paid to make sure that Rob doesn't sleep. :-) - Robert Scoble
@scobleizer - not sure if I sleep better or worse working with you. Guess it depends on the color of the wig, and who you are kissing ;) - Rob La Gesse
Rob: and Techcrunch didn't even publish the worst pictures! :-) - Robert Scoble
i can assure you rob doesn't sleep - he's called me at 2am before! - Allen Stern
Allen: he does sleep. Just not that often and not on a predictable schedule. - Robert Scoble
actually, i don't think Scoble sleeps either! hehe :) Then again, who in the hosting business does? LOL - Susan Beebe
I've been with Robert when he didn't sleep the night before :-) - Jesse Stay
uh, that sounded bad... - Jesse Stay
Why this sudden need to validate your work Robert? - Brijesh
Because someone asked and I aim to please and to be helpful on this new year. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Yay Robert! ;) - zʍıɔ
I'm close to signing up for Rackspace Cloud based on your work Robert. - Steve Farnworth

Small batch. If you see it in the black cast iron, watch out. - Derrick
I want that inside of me - Joe Pierce
I didnt know you could make cornbread in a glass dish. I will have to try it after my cast iron frying pan wears out. - Tony C (Unrated)
When has a cast iron skillet ever worn out!? - Derrick
D, I think we both know someone who has probably had six or seven cast iron skillets wear out. - Akiva Moskovitz
@ Derrick ;) it could happen someday. - Tony C (Unrated)

How do Pac 10 fans tolerate these Duck whistles on an annual basis? They are the most obnoxious things ever - RAPatton from iPhone
Because Bucks and Ducks rhyme they use many of the same cheers--pandemonium!!! - RAPatton from iPhone
The Ducks do represent; usual bowl game audience is 75-25 Ohio State; I'd say we are only 55-60 today - RAPatton from iPhone
Go Bucks! - FF's Bubba of Arizona
The Oregon uniforms are ok today (they change every game); Oregon is fired up, they did the bush league move of encrouching over the 50s while Ohio State was at their 45, and what was worse is their fans cheered it. I expect Oregon to come out riding a wave of emotion based on the pregame - RAPatton from iPhone

He's also starting to look just as wooden as Dick Clark. You think when he does this, it's like spending time with your great grandfather? - Andy Bakun
What was up with Dick Clark? His skin looked younger than my 4 yo! I remember him having wrinkles 5 or 6 years ago. My husband said that it was animatronics being used. - Admiral Anika
How was Dick Clark's voice last night? - Jon Ursenbach
Animatronics makes a lot of sense. - Andy Bakun
Dick Clark bathes in the blood of virgin boy group has-beens. It's how he maintains that youthful glow. - Spidra Webster
He still looks pretty good. He's always been the guy who never seems to age. He doesn't look 80 in there. - Rodfather
<3 dick clark - Archangel ωαřмaiden
I love that despite being "well preserved," Dick Clark still looks less fake in all of those pictures than the people he's with. - Jennifer Dittrich
Dick Clark looks good in still shots, when you don't need him to move. On screen, it's brutal. As Jennifer points out, the opposite is also true. - Andy Bakun
Weekend at Bernie's, featuring Brian Seaquest. - Dave Roth from iPhone
His voice was horrible. He never really recovered from the stroke, but it seemed that is was worse than last year or the year before, whenever I saw him last. I still claim botox because he had wrinkles in at the beginning of the decade. - Admiral Anika

Laura: yeah, I totally fought the power and got clean at 21. ;) - metalerik
Jemm: cool! not sure if this is you too but I have a friend that just never tried any of it. It's so rad because he's a total metal head and been in lots of bands that have toured all over the earth. It's a cool example of one way to go. I don't at all think it's wrong to drink or whatever- just if it messes up a person's life and relationships (like for me and even then it's not for me to judge). - metalerik
thanks again everyone. you guys are the only ones I told. xo FF friends! - metalerik
congrats. you should be damn proud of yourself ; ) - liladreams
@metalerik: Yeah, never tried for no particular reason. I'm far from metal head, though ;) I'm just a geek who wants to be always in control of himself and able to think clearly in all situations. It's probably harder to give up drinking after trying, like you have done, than not having an idea what's the big deal, anyway :) - Jemm

I fucking love you, Derrick. - josh neff, geek at large
Crikey. I wrote this yesterday on an impulse; I just re-read and burst into tears. Oh my stars. Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. They mean more than you could ever know. <3 - Derrick

If we can't catch a Nigerian with explosives in feminine underpants, whose father alerted the U.S. embassy, whose ticket was bought in cash, who didn’t check bags, whose visa was denied by the UK, who studied in Yemen, whose name was on a watch list, who can we catch? - http://origin.reddit.com/r...
:| - AJ Batac
Saddam Hussein. - Cristo
If only he'd been using OpenID with the new 'terrorist' attribute. - Cliff Gerrish
Maybe we're not trying to catch terrorists? Maybe we're trying to manufacture excuses to more tightly control US citizens, and terrorism is just the rationalization du jour? - Mr. Gunn
Mr. Gunn: Space aliens are actually doing the terrorizing in preparation for 2012. - Christopher A Carr
I second .LAG's "wow" - Jan Ole Peek
I usually tend more toward the incompetence than conspiracy viewpoint. - Cristo
We need better spam filters to stop the Nigerians before they ever get through, they're all trouble. - Jimminy Fuller
Maybe they're thinking if they let one underpants bomber get through, then they have justification to go to war on all underpants. - Morton Fox
What does the 'studied in Yemen' part mean? - Andrew C from Android
Next, only masculine underpants will be allowed on flights. - Ruchira S. Datta
Okay, that's it then. No more flying for me. - Cristo
They're waiting until they fileshare. Once these guys fileshare, they're toast. - Spidra Webster
exactly! ... this was, again, inside operation - the guy was just let go /aided even/ to board that plane. ..the good thing is, that unlike 9/11, inside job was set up so that no fatalities occur - bomb did not explode. i like that ... http://krunchd.com/inside , http://WorldNewsRecord.wordpress.com , http://Twitter.com/911news , http://Friendfeed.com/911news - Petr Buben
Petr: While I'm sure it, in a strange way, comforts you to think there a Grand Order behind all things -- a Big Conspiracy to rule them all -- that's really not the reality. Human brains are exceedingly good at recognizing patterns, but sometimes this capacity is hyperactive (as in your case). If you think the Virgin Mary appears to us in common objects, your brain will construct Virgin Mary visages on burnt toast. And you ascribe way too much competence to human organizations. - Christopher A Carr
I read this week that the two most important changes to airline security since 9/11 are re-enforced cockpit doors and that now passengers know to fight back. Who knows how many plans have been thwarted by the first, and between 1 and 3 have been thwarted by the second (depending how you count it: Flight 93, the shoe bomber, and the underwear bomber). - Kevin Fox
I'm with you Cristo....heavy on the incompetence. - Bonnie Foster
Never attribute to conspiracy that which can adequately be explained by incompetence. - Joel Webber from BuddyFeed
sublata causa tollitur morbus - A.T.
Please translate from Latin(?) for us dumb folk, thanks - LANjackal from IM
*remove the cause - sickness will go away itself* - old medical proverb (yes, in Latin) - A.T.
if people can crash a White House party and it goes on and on - VAL D. Zone
And yet we have no problem putting 12 year old girls on the no-fly list because of a name match ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/chris-k... ). The people working at the TSA are clearly fast-food burn-outs. At what point do we, as citizens, stop putting up with this tomfoolery? - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I'm not convinced this can adequately be explained by incompetence. I don't know that there was a conspiracy, but I can't dismiss the possibility given the depth of incompetence required. Assuming conspiracies never happen is as mindless as assuming everything is conspiracy. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo
Bruce: And now they want to form a union... - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
It *is* pretty interesting that people bitch about too much airport security until there's a thwarted bombing, then they say there's never been enough. - Kevin Fox
I'm not complaining about there being too much, Kevin, just that there isn't any effective. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Ummm I think you're confused, Kevin. The *general public* complains about there being too much security. The only people who complain about there being too little are politicians trying to win votes via FUD & scaremongering - LANjackal from IM
Anyone know the names of the companies who are making whole body scanners? I think I need to buy some stock. - Victor Ganata
Try Skynet, Victor... - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Kevin - There's a reason for the "no getting up last hour" rule, and it's not to prevent a terrorist from going to the bathroom. It's to prevent innocent people with headscarves from being tackled by well-meaning but jittery passengers. - Mr. Gunn
Moot point, that rule was silly and has since been repealed - LANjackal from IM
As I understand the TSA strategy, it involves catching anyone who tries to do something that has already been tried. In other words, we're preparing for the previous "war" rather than the next one. - Mark "Mr Bolivious" J
In other words, the TSA strategy = FAIL. - Victor Ganata
Seriously. An amazingly _expensive_ FAIL. All that time, people-power, money spent, so we can hear platitudes about why it did not work or that there are things that can be improved. - Rick Cogley
Three hours delay at Paris CDG for this the following day on-route to Detroit. Most of this spent in the queue at the departure gate as they had only one male and one female officer to carry out an intensive search of 300 pax and their carry-ons. Explanations from Air France were very sparse, fortunately I'd caught all the details on Sky News at Manchester. - Nick B.
@Chris..No, I do not think there is one big conspiracy, and that all is conspiracy. Let's please stick to FACTS and lets debate that. ok? (1). Detroit bomber was on a Britain 'no-entry' radical Islamist list. IF THIS will not hint CIA FBI DHS TSA to not only not to allow this guy in the US, BUT ALSO to search him down while boarding, then I DO NOT believe it was complete imbecile fail... more... - Petr Buben
@Chris.. further, please understand, that nanothermite high military explosive was found on the site of WTC controlled demolition inside operation pretext for wars, just as pools of molten steel. please understand that buildings were PULVERIZED with the speed close to free fall, 11 floors per second .... NoT possible other than masterpiece controlled demolition, per irrefutable scientific evidence .... i mean, have seen the video footage? http://ae911truth.org - Petr Buben
HOW do you colonize countries in the age of airplanes as suicide weapons, of people willing to die in a suicide and terror act to resist occupations, in the age of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons? ....these wars are a big mistake .. http://krunchd.com/911 pretext for wars - Petr Buben

Hahahaha ;D - Mo Kargas
Awesome. - Louis Gray
That is great! Made my evening. - Matt Hilton
:D - Ayşe E.
Of course babby can haz cheezburger! - LB - all new for '10!
(What does babby like to eat now?) - Ayşe E.
You gotta turn this picture into a card of some type. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
So...cheeseburger face? Dare I ask how this came about? :D And I agree with Mo...this pic deserves to be on a card of some sort. :D - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Amanda, it started out by me saying "say cheese!" and getting her to smile. Somehow "cheese" morphed into "cheeseburger"! - Rochelle
Ayse, her favorites right now are sweet potatoes, mangoes, banana, and Ritz crackers. - Rochelle
LOL!!! We say "cheeseburger" in my family too, and that is *exactly* the kind of face we make. - Anna Haro
Audrey and I have some faves in common. :) - Ayşe E.
Soooo cute :) - Nicholas Kreidberg
There is not a word that exists that describes how delightful "Cheeseburger Face" is. - felicious
Omg I love her so much. - Mona Nomura
Also note the fact that's she's 11.5 months old and still has NO TEETH. We're going to have to get her some baby dentures soon. - Rochelle
No teeth? I bit through a bottle nipple at 6 weeks; when my mom noticed she was happy she wasn't breast feeding, bit my development was odd in general. - RAPatton from iPhone
No teeth at all, not even bumps or dots or anything! - Rochelle
Having no teeth is what makes it even cuter :) - Charlotte M
i wonder if being older will make teething easier or harder for her - RAPatton
Our kids didn't get teeth until after a year, but it didn't stop them eating whatever we were eating. I still remember Sarah, now 19, eating corn on the cob with two teeth. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Can I like this one again? - Louis Gray
Yeah. I like it again, too. - Trish Haley
You'll know when the teeth come. Oh yes. - Josh Haley from iPhone
[like] :D - Alix Whitmire
Still no teeth? - Matthew DeVries
No teeth. - Rochelle
Did the ENT's do X-Rays pre-surgery? They'd be able to see if the teeth are up there at least. - Matthew DeVries
No, they didn't do any x-rays. - Rochelle
I got my teeth really late, too. Like 11 months, I think. - Jason, Mosquito from Android

An old friend of mine bought a Droid tonight. That isn't exactly amazing. What's amazing that this is his first cellphone. Ever.
Cellphones, are almost so last decade. - Jimminy Fuller
I don't think it's all that amazing. I didn't get a cellphone until 2008. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Timing is irrelevant. Your feelings are irrelevant. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. - Mo Kargas
I am getting a Mo. A Mo Mo Mo? Mo Mo MO? - Louis Gray
Mo, I was assimilated once all ready, and recently ripped the damn thing away from my head, for the time being. It's likely I'll be assimilated in the future. - Jimminy Fuller
Was he using a pager this whole time? - Rodfather
Rod, nah. He stopped sellin' drugs and pimpin' hoes long ago. - Akiva Moskovitz
I didn't get my first cell until 2004 and that was only because life circumstances kinda forced it on me at the time. - Spidra Webster
My mum still doesn't have one. Which was annoying when she said she was going to be in Harris Scarfe and wasn't. - Bryce Roney
I have a cell phone that I only use to make emergency calls and for locating my Kid at Home Depot.We tend to get sidetracked in there. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I got my first cell phone in 2007. - Andrew C from Android
My first cellphone was prepaid Sony flip phone back in June 2007 , which I used for one week and switched for post paid blackberry and within 30 days I switched to iPhone. - ashish from iPhone
My mom doesn't have a cell phone or computer... heck not even an ATM card! She's never driven or typed in her life. - Adrian
Cellphones are overrated....as long as your near a landline phone and a computer with internet! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
I bought my first cellphone for business use about 15 years ago, but I only got one for personal use (pay as you go via Virgin Mobile) when payphones started becoming scarce a few years ago. However, whenever I find myself in northern or central Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, or vast areas of the Dakotas, I find myself longing for the payphone days of yore. - Mark "Mr Bolivious" J
Wow. - Derrick
That's awesome. - Lo
