Google Launches 9 New Ways to Search - http://mashable.com/2009...

Google is rolling out 8 other search options which should be available to everyone at some point today. Those include the ability to search within a specific date range, shopping site filters, a visited pages filter, and an option to see only results from Google’s book, blog, and news search tools.

I would think it would best if you have a Griffin Clarifi case on so you can take cleaner close up pictures - it helped with getting better snaps of Barcodes for a barcode search app I use.

"Gizmodo first alerted us to this story. A very ingenious astrophotographer, Thierry Legault, has taken the first image of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Hubble Space Telescope as they transited the sun - and he used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II to make the image. As it turns out, he’s also famous for photographing the International Space Station (ISS) as it too crossed the face of the sun (see more below) with the Canon EOS 5D. You’ve got to read the details below about how little time he had to capture this spectacle!"

My number one request for FriendFeed right now? Give me this same feature for *Flickr.* Would love to be able to find more of my Flickr contacts who are on FriendFeed. Even better, give me the same Yahoo mail / Gmail functionality to invite my flickr contacts to FF via the Flickrmail system.

I know that the vast majority of my Flickr contacts are *not* on FF -- but really *should* be on FF. If FF could use the Flickr API to allow me to invite all of them via flickrmail to my FF (like Yahoo mail and Gmail) this would be huge in making FF even that much better for me. I so wish more of them were on here. There are so many amazing Flickr photographers that could add so much to FF.

There are a lot of possibilities. I would love to be able to filter people based on their feeds, and groups for example. Like searching for people who have imported their flickr stream into friendfeed and who is also a member of the 'Tech Bloggers' group. Basically I would love to see them improve the way we discover people on friendfeed. Simply being able to search by netwwork would be amazing. Like tell friendfeed to list all my contacts who are also on delicious!
- Kasper Sorensen
Zooomr would be great too. But Zooomr is a far smaller service. I have a list for all Zooomr content on FF and that is manageable just with a list right now. Flickr is not. Since Zooomr basically uses Flickr's API though I'd think that if it could be done for Flickr that there would be no reason why it couldn't also be done for Zooomr. Would love that too!
- Thomas Hawk
it's still very easy to see all Zooomr content on FF here: http://friendfeed.com/search... All Flickr content is far less manageable here: http://friendfeed.com/search...

Don't confuse smoking with BBQ. If you are cooking with BBQ sauce then you are BBQing. Also in the states cooking with a grill (also called a BBQ or BBQ grill) is BBQing. And one last thing. Stop being so gosh darned pedantic! :p

With over six million users, a triple digit growth rate, and a robust API -- the entrepreneurial, promotional, research and product development opportunities are staggering. And it's these opportunities that have inspired us to create a two-day event dedicated to the platform.

The conference hashtag is also #140tc - but we SHOULD (and will) have it more prominently on the site (right now it's under the details tab) - and the sad truth about the community page, Ryan, is that so far everyone's been too lazy to fill in their details...sigh...time to e-mail the attendees about it again...

Cecily, I too had stuff to say. I kept typing and deleting my comment. This is a big subject and throughout my life, I've seen my skinnier friends always fall back on, "She's fat, but I'm the single one?" Blah.
- Admiral Anika
Thats because they have no restraint, no sense of holding back. They eat what they want, they fuck what they want, no limits.
- William Stewart
I think that's a huge and not particularly accurate generalization, William... but whatever.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
An interesting theory, Mr. Stewart.
- B. Hatin
There's just one problem with your theory, William. It's wrong.
- Steven Perez
Yeah...I can't agree with William's assessment here...

See, I had a lot of propositions, but I didn't exactly have the most sex. One of the reasons I got propositioned so much is because I think the perception is out there (like William's - blech) that bigger women have bigger appetites in every way, PLUS we're so glad to get attention from anyone that we're easy. Can't tell you how many times I heard "You're not cute enough to turn anybody down" whenever I said no to unwanted sexual advances.

Looks like I came back home just in time! William - I disagree with your statement in many ways. I'm coming to the realization that my perspective on all things BBW may be different simply because I was not always overweight, but now that I am, I realize that a lot of what people say, think and feel towards overweight women is a direct reflection of what we say, feel and think about ourselves. Perceptions are changing as our attitudes change, and it's good to see that people are beginning to realize we...

are more than just the skin we are in, we are living, breathing, sexual beings and want the same things out of life as everyone else.

fuller figure ladies are more cuddly and infinitely more sexy.

fat chicks need lovin too. Nothing wrong with that. At least they are gettin some.
- Don Martelli
Here's a theory: overweight women feel insecure about themselves, so they try to compensate by having more sex.
- Daniel Miessler
how do they define "overweight"? cuz i am overweight and yet i'm not gettin' it so much. EDIT: this comment made me snort: "hahaha, count on the Beavers to do a sex study."

Ain't nothing wrong with a woman with some meat on her bones. Gives you something to hold onto. I prefer that to the alternative.
- Give 'Em DBizness
Simone Weil once said, "The beautiful woman, looking in the mirror, may very well believe that the image is herself. The ugly woman knows it is not." An alternate hypothesis for you: perhaps an overweight woman does not settle for the superficial, and having found a real and true relationship, gets plenty of real and true hot sweaty monkey love?
- Ladybug Heather
(btw, real and true hot sweat monkey love ftw. I had to say that, because the phrase "real and true hot sweaty monkey love" is underused.)
- Ladybug Heather
I agree with the author. I'm not sure why this study was done but it is interesting.
- Nelson de Witt
Marylin Monroe would be considered overweight by today's standards.

Thom Ross' Amazing Buffalo Bill Wild West Show Photo Recreation - http://thomashawk.com/2008...

In September of 1902 the above photo was taken of showman "Buffalo Bill" Cody and his traveling Wild West Show on San Francisco's Ocean Beach. It was a massive photograph, especially for the day, of one of the world's most famous and popular entertainment acts. It's a tremendous piece of history. Artist Thom Ross for the past two weeks has staged an amazing and dramatic reinterpretation of this original photograph at the exact site of the original -- 106 years earlier just below the Cliff House on San Francisco's Ocean Beach. Ross built life sized replicas cut from plywood and extensively painted all of the characters on horseback in the original photo. I talked to Ross last week about his creation and he told me that it took him two years to make all of the figures. Two years of work to recreate a single photograph for a two week public exhibit.

check out the photosynth I made here: http://photosynth.net/view...
- Thomas Hawk
photosynth doesn't work on linux :(
- imabonehead
yeah, sorry guys, photosynth doesn't work on linux or Macs or in Google's Chrome browser. It's still pretty early Microsoft technology. But it's pretty cool if you can see it on a PC.
- Thomas Hawk
i'm on a mac and photosynth did not work. can u tell me what photosynth is?
- Curtis McElhinney
from twhirl
Curtis, Photosynth stitches all of the photos together and returns a 3D like rendering of the photos. I thought it worked well in this case because the line of painted sculptures was super long and it was hard to truly do a representative single photo. It is a bummer that it won't work on a Mac. I use a Mac as my primary computer so that's kept me from using it as much as I'd like. But it is cool tech to watch on a PC.
- Thomas Hawk
How did we end up back on these apps that aren't platform-agnostic?
- Glenn Batuyong
from twhirl
I viewed the Photosynth. It wasn't what I expected. I thought they would stitch together. I tried the Switch to the Next 3d Group but it mostly showed single photos.
- Russellreno
Glenn, I think that they are working on a Mac version too but the tech is still early. Photosynth came out of MSFT Research and was just released a few weeks back. I suspect at some point it will work on all platforms, but obviously MSFT is incented to make sure it works on their platform first.
- Thomas Hawk
I highly doubt they will make a port for Linux, but they would for the Mac.
