Well this is ironic -- I just left a comment talking about how I'd never got into friendfeed on Robert Scoble's blog, a second later here I am trying it out and it looks pretty cool !
that's funny. i was just thinking how I never log into FriendFeed, then I get a notification that you subscribed to me. a second later, here I am replying to you! is this the future? - Eddie Codel

Well it won't be sprawl, because they already got that. - Joe
How about inventing a financial solution to save the state? - Joe
Actually the sprawl here in the bay area is pretty limited compared to say Chicago or LA. Being in a literal valley helps contain that. - Luke Kilpatrick

Traveling again, this time to DC and Virginia. UA 120 so you can stalk me in the sky. Looking forward to friendfeed meetup on Friday in Blacksburg and hanging out with Rackspace employees too. Anyone up for breakfast tomorrow in DC?
When are you coming to visit the Twin Cities, Robert? - Ivan Stegic
I wish... Looking forward to getting back to DC and walking around... Hopefuly this fall. - Sid Burgess
Damn iPhone spell checker bit me again. Heh. Anyway, see ya in five hours or so. - Robert Scoble
Exit row FTW. - Robert Scoble
Wrong side of the water for me! But I am interested in your trip to London in July. Will you be attending any particular events? - John W Lewis
Ivan: I would love to visit but no plans yet and adding more travel this year is going to be tough. - Robert Scoble
I'm free. - © b e e n s w a n k
Sure, I can be there. What part of DC? - Shevonne
wish i could scoble but i wont be in town! have fun in DC tho and say hi to obama for me:) - Jason Pollock
Welcome to Virginia, hanging out with VTech's Friendfeeders? What are you going to be up to in DC? It's too bad the Meetup isn't closer to DC, I'd love to check that out. I'm a short metro ride away, just tell me where and I'll stop by and say hello. Where in DC will you be? - Aram Zucker-Scharff
John: I am with a group and they have the whole week planned out. I will get the schedule posted soon. There will be a few opportunities to meet in London. - Robert Scoble
Thanks - John W Lewis
I forget where I am staying. I will post that tonight when I arrive. - Robert Scoble
Cool! =) - Shevonne
I would, but I will be in jail tomorrow morning - Alan Simpson
@Alan Jail? Do you need someone to bail you out? ;) - Shevonne
I was out there last week visiting Equinix. Bummer. - dougpollei
I will be speaking at George Mason University tomorrow afternoon. Would love to meet somewhere close to that for breakfast. - Robert Scoble
@Robert I live in Fairfax, so like 15 min from GMU (where I went to school). What time works? I can go after dropping the kids off at school. I've heard good things about 29 Diner, which is like 5 min away http://www.29diner.com/ - Shevonne
Holy Crap, Shevonne. I lived in Fairfax across the street from the Wegman's. Umm, sorry for the hijack. - CAJ, somewhere else
@Alan I live 5 min from there. Fair Oaks. My son <3 that Wegmans - Shevonne
I'm a Mason student and I work for the Office of Student Media, it'll be great to have you here. Personally, I'd recommend against the 29, my advice is Main St. Bagels, it doesn't get much better than that for breakfast around here. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Crikey, a bunch of Friendfeeders suddenly discover after all this time that they live practically next door to one another. Got to thank Robert for that. Ok so who lives in North London? South Lincolnshire then? - Gilbert Harding
Gilbert - Alas, I moved from Fairfax to Florida 9 months ago. But that's how it goes. I have found out that I was at the same Air Force Base at the same time as Alex Scoble. Maybe it's "Six Degrees of Scoble"? - CAJ, somewhere else
@Shevonne - I know you from Twitter! I run the @FairfaxVANews account, among others. I didn't realize you were on FF. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
More like Six degrees of FriendFeed , Alan. - Gilbert Harding
@Aram This is so cool. @Gilbert Six degrees it is. hahahaha. Pea and I were actually talking about having a DC -Baltimore Meetup soon. Will talk to her to see when we should organize this. - Shevonne
@Shevonne Definitely. You know, I work for the University. I could wrangle us some free space to host on-campus if we wanted to do it in this area. I've been following you on Twitter for a while, but I didn't realize you were a GMU alumni. We'll have to organize something. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
@Aram Sounds like a plan. I've actually gone to some of the Alumni events. Will you go to breakfast tomorrow? - Shevonne
@Shevonne - Wherever it is, I'll be there, It'll be good to meet you (and Robert of course :) ) in person. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
@Robert I think @Shevonne and I have agreed that Main St. Bagel is the way to go (unless you don't like bagels). It is a little bit west of where it appears on the Yelp map ( http://www.yelp.com/biz... ) What time would you like to meet? - Aram Zucker-Scharff
I'm staying at the Fairfax Marriott at Fair Oaks; 11787 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway Fairfax, VA 22033. Let me figure out how to get to the Main St. Bagel from here. How about we meet at 9 a.m.? - Robert Scoble
That's right near where my parents used to live. I miss that area. - Jesse Stay
9:15 a.m? - Shevonne
9 a.m. sounds good to me, the Google Map directions are ok, they just don't recognize the entrance to the parking area, which would be on the left if you are coming from the Marriott. My cell is 914.844.4166, feel free to call if you have any problem finding the place. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
or 9:15, that works just as well for me. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Actually, any way we can do it earlier? Vint Cerf is speaking at 9 and I'd love to catch part of that, if possible. http://74.125.47.132/search... is the conference I'm speaking at. If not, 9 a.m. it is. - Robert Scoble
What time would work? - Shevonne
Shevonne: 8:30? I don't care about catching his talk, but I'd like to be there by the end of it so I can grab Vint for an interview. - Robert Scoble
That should be a good trip hopefully some can catch you for breakfast. Enjoy the FriendFeed Meetup on Friday. - James Stratford
How long you are staying in the area Robert? - تنهاترین انجل
I will probably be a little late cause I have to get the kids to school, but I will be there. Maybe around 8:45 if traffic doesn't suck. - Shevonne
little angel: I'll be in Fairfax just for the day, then driving to Blacksburg. - Robert Scoble
Too short! I hope you enjoy your stay, even weather is kind of bad today. Have a nice drive too ! I wish I could make it for the breakfast, but can't :( - تنهاترین انجل
8:30 works just as well as 9 for me. I'll see you there. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Dang, figures...practically on my morning "route" but can't make it. Enjoy breakfast. Welcome back to VA, Scoble. - Craig Eddy
Ah man, bummed to have missed this. George Mason is my alma mater and I happen to be in Northern Virginia visiting family right now. You coming back north before flying out? - Eddie Codel

Gizmodo - Man Threatened, Arrested For Taking Picture Of Open ATM In Public - Atm photo
"Despite the fact that this photo was snapped in broad daylight in a busy Seattle REI store, Shane Becker was threatened by fake cops and arrested by real ones. One of the Loomis & Fargo guards servicing the public ATM threatened to tackle Becker if he tried to leave the store—apparently snapping a photo of the inside of one of these machines constitutes a security threat (although detailed images and data can be found easily online). In fact, one of the arresting officers even pulled the 9/11 card" - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
The photographer should have tried to leave to see if the guard really would tackle him. Easy lawsuit cash there. - Dave Roth
with an iPhone no less. - Thomas Hawk
Dave - i was thinking the same thing. I read this the other day. mind-blowing. He's going to be rich... detained by PD without RAS = $$ - Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)
Awesome, and in a bad way. Thanks, Thomas - reshared. - Anthony Citrano
While I'm big on photographers rights and everything and I think the Wells Fargo dudes and the cops didn't handle it well... what the hell was this guy doing taking a picture of an open ATM? Seems like he was just trying to test them. - Kenton
@Kenton - so? Or maybe he likes ATMs? I really hate that line of reasoning.. "well, i'm all for photographers rights.. but in this case, the guy really needs to explain himself.." First Amendment rights are not dependent on a good explanation. - Anthony Citrano
Kenton: it seems they failed the test then. - Mark H
Using 9/11 is something I expect from the writing staff of Reno 911. - Rene Wirtz
+1 Mark. - Anthony Citrano
Wells Fargo is afraid that everyone will find out the inside of the ATM is just a midget with a stack of 20's and a notepad. - Dave Roth
TH, I scooped you on this. :P http://friendfeed.com/photo-u... - Rochelle
@Kenton: Why do you assume that he was trying to test them? An open ATM isn't something you see everyday. Lots of people take a photo when they see something that is not part of their normal everyday experience. - Jeremy Brooks
+1 Anthony. - Jeremy Brooks
from Shane's blog post: "I took the picture because I’m fascinated by the insides of things that we don’t normally get to see. I did not take the picture to case the joint. I did not take the picture to threaten the safety of the two Loomis fake cops with their bulletproof vests, hip side pistols and very fragile egos. I did not take the picture to make it easier for anyone else to rob this or any other ATM. I just like to see things that I don’t normally get to see." - Eddie Codel
i've been warned before for standing and watching.. a pissed of man with a gun talked me into it - andy brudtkuhl
@ Rochelle. Yes you did. :) - Thomas Hawk
@Mark, you are totally correct. @Anthony and @Jeremy The reason I said what I said is because of the subject matter. When you have armed guards standing around something "protecting" it, they are likely going to be a little protective. Why couldn't he just have asked first? "Hey that's cool, mind if I take a picture?" He says it's because he's interested in such things; that's fine. If he had asked, they *might* have let him get close enough to actually get a picture that was worth it. - Kenton
As for photographers rights, I am totally for them. I take a lot of pictures and if someone tried to prevent me (and especially harass me like this) I'd pissed off too. However, I do believe in common courtesy. This is not the picture of the outside of a building or a street. This is of two armed guards servicing what is basically the extension of a bank. Had he asked first, I suspect this would have not escalated to nearly this extent. - Kenton
And if the guards said no, then what? He still has the right to take the photo. I can imagine it escalating even more had they said no and he took the pic anyway. - Eddie Codel
Actually @Eddie, he doesn't. Technically it's up to REI, but according to the Photographer's Right, if the property owner forbids you from taking a photo, you are obligated to comply. So he should have asked REI if he could take a picture inside their store. It doesn't give them the right to do anything nasty or threaten you or do any of the things they did in this case. However, had he asked and been denied, he would not have had the right to take the photo. - Kenton
Kenton, it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission. :) - Rochelle
LOL, very true Rochelle - Kenton

Mission Bicycle Opening Store In San Francisco Featuring Customized Fixed Gear Bikes
Why would you want a fixed-gear bike in SF of all places? I still don't understand this trend. - Jasmin Patry
I was just about to ask that Jasmin. Instead, I'll just say OW. - cecily
Fixies are way too hardcore for me. Still, pretty sweet... - Matt Griffin
Ain't fashion grand? - Parody
I converted an old frame. I stick to my much better Italian one with Japanese gears. - Jonas Rudofsky
Jasmin - I agree. I'd think San Francisco would be the last place you'd want a fixed-gear bike. - Al Stevens
Messenger fashion. Stand and balance easily at an intersection. Still, SF? Yikes! - Eddie Breen
I'll be glad when internally geared hubs become popular again. I'm way ahead of the trend there. - Jon Winters
San Francisco is super easy to get around on a bike. As long as you don't live on a hill that is. - Eddie Codel
I'll stick to BMX bikes ; ) - Kurt Schmidt
I just got my first fixie, without brakes, yesterday and have already ridden it ~25 miles. Holy crap my legs are on FIRE. I've already learned to skid stop but I'm planning to add a front brake tomorrow to reduce my likelihood of being creamed by a bus. I couldn't care less about the trendiness, although I do appreciate the simplicity of their looks (and the shed weight doesn't hurt... more... - John Reynolds
I want one sooooo badly. This blue one is gorgeous, too. If I go to Oxford this fall, I think ima get one. - Zach Landes

Craiglist to drop "erotic services" ads - http://www.reuters.com/article...

Online classified site Craigslist will replace its "erotic services" ads with a new adult category "to bar flagrant prostitution and porn," the Connecticut attorney general's office said on Wednesday. Craigslist's sex-service listings have faced intense scrutiny following the April 14 murder of 25-year-old masseuse Julissa Brisman, who advertised on Craigslist in Boston. Philip Markoff, a 23-year-old Boston University medical student, was charged with killing Brisman and with attacks on two other women he met through Craigslist. Officials from Craigslist were not immediately available to comment. The "erotic services" section will end within seven days and be replaced with a new section called "adult services" where every advertisement will be manually reviewed by Craigslist staff, Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said in a statement. - Cee Bee
noooooooo!!!!!11111 - Cee Bee
Ah, the puritans have won again. :/ - Neal Jansons
Call me crazy, but it's not that there was an issue with the lady who placed the ad, right? The issue was with the asshat that answered her ad. Or do I have the situation wrong? If not, then HOW will Craigslist reviewing these ads result in safer, saner people RESPONDING to the ads? - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
It won't. This kind of crap never protects anything but the sensibilities of the puritans. It's about control...some people just can't stand the idea that other people do things that they don't approve of and will work themselves up into a tizzy about it. - Neal Jansons from IM
it won't change a thing imo. craiglist has become synonymous with this kind of behaviour. the characters who post in those sections will find a way to circumnavigate this new "system" in some manner. - Cee Bee
The wider question is "Should prostitution be legal. regulated, and taxed .... or is such an action fostering immorality?" - John F. McMullen
Prostitution as in simply the buying and selling of sexual services? Or including the culture of exploitation, danger, and sexism surrounding it? Prostitution qua prostitution is not immoral...as the philosopher Carlin said: "F*cking is legal. Selling is legal. Why isn't selling f*cking legal?", but I think the atmosphere surrounding it includes immoral things, but that is mostly the... more... - Neal Jansons from IM
Agree with Neal. - Steve C
CL needed to do something - the site's name is now part of serial killer legend. - Bill Sodeman
Serial killer? Who else did he kill? - Eddie Codel
Good point, Eddie. But they're still looking at murders in RI and another state, I think. - Bill Sodeman
Hmmmm. I have no objection to erotic services, but it seems to me like this is parallel to censorship arguments. There's always AdultFriendFinder (I guess that's still an active site--at work now and can't check) for stuff like this. It's not like people are being generally prevented from providing erotic services. - Heather
