hehe, sure, I'd watch that. - JC unwired
Me too. :P - Thankful Molly
How much are the tickets? - Mark VandenBerg
LOL - Anna Haro
Nah, Limbaugh, Fox News, Coulter, etc will do even better now that they have something to really complain about rather than apologize for Bush. I don't feel bad for them. Remember, Rush peaked during Clinton's term. - Robert Haas
I saw this on Twitter and had to pass it on. - Russellreno
Suicide Watch: Bill O'Reilly - Bonnie Dean
hahaha - Kamath ॐ
You can probably add Elisabeth Hasselbeck to that list - Caffeinated Sue
Hasselbeck just needs to be smacked with a trout. - Leather Donut
Oh boy, I gotta watch The View tomorrow. Watch Whoopi, Cheri (sp) and Joy dance around Elizabeth and go, "Nener nener nener, you're guy lost and our guy won!!!" - Thankful Molly
L@Leather That would be awesome. - Jenny R.

"“I get worried that all of us who wanted Obama will take themselves too seriously,” mused one [comedy central] writer. “But that’s what we’ll make fun of. All the deflated expectations. All the people that now think they can just sit at home and expect a miracle.” His face flashed with a smile. “Hey, Obama, where’s my jet pack? Where’s my savior?” With that, another writer began to laugh at her own idea: “I want him to get on TV for 30 seconds with a turban, just to scare everyone. And then, oops, ” ‘Psyche!’ ”" - edythe via Bookmarklet

"For the past few years, the Inland Empire in Riverside County has been one of the fastest growing counties in the state - home to a major housing boom. But now the Inland Empire is pretty much the poster child for the foreclosure crisis. In the newer developments, house after house sits vacant - either up for auction, for sale by a bank or going for what’s called a “short sale” which is when the owner owes more than the house is worth. SoCal Connected tracked down some surreal sights associated with the crisis - a company that specializes in removing whatever people leave behind in their foreclosed homes. The process is called a “trashout” - a term the company came up with because it perfectly describes what happens. Everything that’s left is dumped in a trailer and taken to the landfill." - Jason Toney via Bookmarklet
Sobering. Click on over and watch Lisa Ling's report. - Jason Toney
This is really sad. - Melissa
I had to shoot a site out in Redlands in fall '06. Brand new housing development (347 houses) being built. Went back out in winter '06, saw Christmas decorated home, many with for sale signs out from. Reshot the site in fall '07. There were 4 inhabited homes in the entire development. In March of this year, I had a site nearby, took my pictures went to the old one, completely empty, for sale signs on every house. There was a brand new housing development being built across the street. It's empty now. - Anika Malone

“CMT is to country as MTV is to music.... CMT Pure or GAC are much better”
September 1 at 8:32 am - Link
Don't tell me CMT has bad reality shows, alternating between camera-hogging teens and midlife-crisising has-beens. "Tonight, Roseanne Cash confronts Packerboy about his meth lab." - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
+uno Ontario! - Yolanda ♥s Nuttycakes
they show reruns of Hogan Knows Best, they have the Gone Country reality show, the Coyote Ugly one, etc. - I miss TNN. It all went downhill when Viacom (CBS/MTV) bought CMT.... they started turning it into a country version of VH1 - evidenced by the fact they got rid of VH1 Country. - Jeff Quinton
forgot to mention the new show with Bobby Brown, Carney Wilson and Maureen McCormick running a B&B - Jeff Quinton
Bobby Brown, Carnie Wilson, and Maureen McCormick? Sounds like they pulled three names out of a hat. Let's try Robert Plant, Gabe Kaplan, and Dionne Warwick. And they can operate a Church's Fried Chicken....Heck, Brown & Wilson & McCormick is more demented than anything I can make up. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
Brown Wilson and McCormick were competitors on Gone Country Season 1 - hence the VH1 like recycling of them into another show. - Jeff Quinton

This past week I have been in Seattle, walking around every day.  I just realized one thing city dwellers do that is new to me is to think of distance in terms of city blocks.  Who does this all the time?
September 5 at 12:01 pm - Link
growing up in the SF Bay Area, that's the most common way that I associate distance. The second is by how long it'll take by car or walking. 10 miles through city streets by car is not the same as 10 miles outside of the city if you take in account time. - Alan Le
I've never really thought of it but, when I'm downtown, everything's in blocks. When I'm away from downtown, everything is in miles or minutes. - Akiva Moskovitz
I work in downtown Seattle and yeah, we measure in blocks. It's weird to think that other people don't! - Rochelle
Only when deep inside Indianapolis, and only sometimes. My birthplace, Chicago, lends itself better to block measurement. - Kamilah Gill
Google Maps now has the option of giving you walking directions in some cities, so it would be nice if they let you change the distance units to 'blocks' as well. - Phil Glockner
Blocks, yup very much so says she the urban city dweller... - Sally Church
unless you live in LA...our distances are measured in time. so instead of saying 'go 3 city blocks', we say, 'it's near the trader joe's next to wholefoods, about 10 min. walking.' - Anika Malone
Faboo -- what is the upper limit for walking time before the average LAist would take their car? - Phil Glockner
Yeah, blocks is the way those of us who live on a nice grid think. :) It's not subjective, easy to know and very descriptive. Perfect! - felix
nyc for sure - very common to take a 1/2 walk when logistics of subway don't work - mike "glemak" dunn
I made the Kessel Run in 5 blocks. - Tad, Fool
I walk everywhere I go in our town - Steven Hodson
phil, i think it depends on the location and the weather. in the valley people and inland empire people won't walk 5 min. i think because they build those housing development so far from civilization. a 10 min. walk to do something is probably average for most, that's almost half a mile. can't tell mileage to angelenos because they freak. but things are changing now that traffic's even worse and gas is high. these people are actually biking places! - Anika Malone
As UK cities tend to be a lot older than US ones we don't really use blocks as measurement here. One block maybe longer than the next. The one after might bend round a corner and twist up a hill! - Martin Bryant
Blocks is a very American thing. I live in Glasgow (Scotland) which is designed on a US-style grid system and would never use 'blocks' as a unit of distance. Time, miles, or metres only. - Cozen

so, now people tweet first and then run for safety? - Imran Hussain via feedalizr
I'm hearing there were casulaties. Can anyone confirm for me? - Dennis Jackson
@Dennis NBC out of LA is saying no casualties reported in LA, SB, or Riverside Counties. Let's hope that holds. - John Denver
casualties? I just read a tweet which said there wasn't any damage and it wasn't that big.. now I'm confused ! - Imran Hussain via feedalizr
Oh good. Thanks. - Dennis Jackson
only casualties in my building were some soiled undergarments. - Jerry Schuman via twhirl
CNN/KTLA says no reported injuries yet. - Andrew Leyden
No reports of casualties so far, there have been heart attacks in the past, which are not discovered right away. - Victor Ryden
spoke to my dad in irvine, said he felt the house sway but no damage - Alan Cheslow via twhirl
My apartment in Tustin (maybe 20 miles away) shook and some bottles on the shelf fell over, but no obvious damage anywhere. - Michael Saul
The Fark-O-Meter hasn't risen above "Whee that was scary-fun!" yet which is usually a good sign. http://forums.fark.com/cgi/far... - Kevin D. White
The most we will see from this type of quake are maybe a couple of very minor injuries from panicked people falling over themselves and a couple of heart-attacks. - Chris Reed
Sorry about the casualties thing. I don't know much about quakes. I didn't know how severe it was. Glad there were no tsunami warnings. - Dennis Jackson
We felt the earthquake in san Diego - Luke Jeffrey Smith via twhirl
Dennis: I can't even feel anything less than 4.0. 5.0 gets my attention. 6.0 gets me scared. 7.0 causes major damage. 8.0 is devastating. The Chinese earthquake was close to 8.0, which is why so many deaths. Also, in California we generally can have one extra point over many places in the world. An 8.0 here would probably cause 10,000 deaths, while in China, due to lower building codes and higher population density, cause more than 10x that. - Robert Scoble
Summize http://search.twitter.com/sear... shows no fatalities so far. Cool way to watch news! I lived in LA during the 1994 Northridge quake (6.7) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1... A bookshelf fell onto my bed over the pillow. Oops! Next day, I moved the bookcase. Thought my apartment was going to collapse. At UCLA, workers went around to all the offices bolting the bookcases to the walls. I think Los Angeles is prepared now. - Mitchell Tsai
Got a Twitter off as it was happening! Felt it pretty good in Dana Point, was just a shaker though. @Mitchell I was at USC during the 94 quake, WHOA will never forget! - Nice Fish Films
Dana Point's pretty. Envious... - Mitchell Tsai
Thank you Robert, I'll keep that in mind. Isn't it crazy how quick news gets out through twitter and friendfeed? Man times have changed. - Dennis Jackson
Here's a great time to share a great adobe air app i found. It's very educatioal,and called Quakeshakes Quake Shakes shows you recent worldwide earthquake activity and displays them on a map with info on location, date, time and size. Earthquakes of various magnitudes are displayed with different colored dots, giving you a dramatic visual record of the seismic activity during the past 24 hours or week. Data feeds come from the US Geological Survey website which is linked to a global network of seismic sensors, recording up-to-the-minute earthquake activity as they happen around the world. Quake Shakes gives you different different options, including quakes from the last day and week as well as various map views.This is a demo version with plans to add many more features and educational modulesSUPPORT INFORMATIONwww.quakeshakes.com - Michael Fidler via twhirl
Great comment from a friend, who happens to work at Variety: "The earthquake had a nice balance of entertaining and not-destructive." - Chris Reed
5.4 - correction on Twitter (1,219 updates since my last check on Summize. Dennis: Yeah it's a weird and fun new way to get news.) - Mitchell Tsai
Gabe Rivera was grumbling on Twitter that he didn't believe there was an earthquake cos there was no tweet from Robert. Obviously didn't get the memo that the convo's had moved to FF ;) - Sally Church
I was recording a test of faulty microphone when it hit, so you get a few seconds of increasing ambient noise before I stood up to move to doorway (mic got disconnected at that point). I posted it on my blog: http://www.2020hindsight.org/2... - Susan A. Kitchens
Thanks Susan! - Mitchell Tsai
doubt there are any casualties, based on what i've felt/seen so far.... trying to keep my feed updated based on what i see/learn... - Anthony Citrano
Ha! I was munching through GoogleReader feeds when it started. When I realized it really was a quake, my next thought was, "I'd better get a tweet out in case it gets any worse". Actually, I was hoping to be the first. The only scoops I ever get are in my catbox. Speaking of Spot, I don't think he's coming out from under the couch for a while. After the '94 quake, he hid in the cavity of an old console color TV for 2-3 days, but that was a lot bigger event. - Ⓒⓗⓡⓘⓢ ᴷᴵᴹ ᴬ

I wonder if TwitterSearch could be useful for Amber Alerts. Certainly a much faster way to distribute the message and it has a mobile platform which is important since much of the time the target is in a car. - AJ Kohn
that's an interesting thought AJ. - MG Siegler
i hear people in SoCal heard about the earthquake through twitter before the earthquake even started! - Eric Eldon
@eric - i heard that too -- on twitter before you just said it. - MG Siegler
It takes an earthquake to shake the Fail Whale ;-) - Antoine Bertier via Moopz
@AJ - Make your idea happen. - Zach Underwood
@Zach: I'd love to but I'd need some serious tech help. Any takers? - AJ Kohn

“I've recently used LinkedIn to directly contact a recruiter for a technical position within their company. Is contacting a recruiter directly an appropriate use of LinkedIn? They were a 3rd Level contact, and an "introduction" may not have been effective.”
July 24 at 6:07 pm - Link
I think it's if they list job inquiries under their interest. I have done it couple of times and I can say it works and it's more effective. I used two criteria: 1) if they are interested in inquiries 2) if they allow direct messaging or list their email address. Good luck! - Turker Keskinpala
I agree intoduction may have not worked, recruiters are pretty much disposed to be contacted after all they use Linkedin for that purpose. I think those are the people you should care less interrupting as after all it's their job. I suggest you are pretty upfront with them talking about why you contacted them - Julius via twhirl

Here are the major elements: _10 a.m.: The San Andreas Fault ruptures, sending shock waves racing at 2 miles per second. _30 seconds later: The agricultural Coachella Valley shakes first. Older buildings crumble. Fires start. Sections of Interstate 10, one of the nation's major east-west corridors, break apart. _1 minute later: Interstate 15, a key north-south route, is severed in places. Rail lines break; a train derails. Tremors hit burgeoning Riverside and San Bernardino counties east of Los Angeles. _1 minute, 30 seconds later: Shock waves advance toward the Los Angeles Basin, shaking it violently for 55 seconds. _2 minutes later: The rupture stops near Palmdale, but waves march north toward coastal Santa Barbara and into the Central Valley city of Bakersfield. _30 minutes later: Emergency responders begin to fan across the region. A magnitude-7 aftershock hits, but sends its energy south into Mexico. Several more big aftershocks will hit in following days and months. - RAPatton
The largest quake I felt was the SF quake in 1989 (?). I was in a meeting when my wife called. She told me our daughter was down the street and came running home. I was also at USC in the early 70's when another quake hit and wiped out some freeway. - Russellreno
