FriendFeed, Kindle, Bret Taylor, and even a hint of Obama. Pure "like" bait for sure. : )

I have been baited :)

No CSS on the Kindle?
- Paul Buchheit
The regular user pages weren't rendering at all, so I switched to /iphone/ and it worked. Wait, does no one in FFWHQ have a Kindle 2?
- DeWitt Clinton
I thought Tudor was getting one...
- EricaJoy
For browser compatibility testing purposes, of course.
- DeWitt Clinton
Turns out there was a Kindle 1 and a Kindle 2 in the office. All work has now ceased.

Get some colour and come graphics in there. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Does that case come with the Kindle? Looks nice.
- Benjamin Golub
Pure pleather-like goodness: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-.... The case has a clever little hook mechanism that makes it easy to pop the Kindle in and out, but you can definitely use the Kindle with the case on. Feels and looks more like a book with the case on, plus it protects the screen. They say it is real leather, which is a shame, as it feels like pleather and frankly I'd rather it was fake.
- DeWitt Clinton
Can you please check if it shows UTF-8 characters? Like my name?

I am starting to get pretty excited about those... was pretty skeptical at first, but that is going to be a game changer.

Bump. Almost a year into the Kindle 2 and it is still going strong. Nothing worth replacing it with on the market yet.

DeWitt, any opinions on the upcoming Android-based enTourage eDGe (other than the idiotic capitalization)?: http://friendfeed.com/webmave...
- Michael R. Bernstein
@Michael - I had never heard of it. But I'll admit that, off all the things I wished my Kindle could do, fold in half was not one of them. And this may sound like heresy, but I'm not sure the high-level OS stack is the limiting factor in of ebook readers. Give me more surface area (Kindle DX size), a thinner bezel, higher resolution and maybe color, ditch the keyboard (okay, so maybe an touchscreen IME would help), a brushed aluminum body, and keep the thickness and weight constant, and you have an upgrade.
- DeWitt Clinton
and the battery life
- Deepak Singh
Ugh. It's like 1993 all over again. Whoever can figure out how to make high resolution, eInk screens in color, not necessarily with a rapid refresh rate, will pretty much own this device space for a while.
- Bill Strathearn
I don't need color in my books so I don't miss it on the Kindle.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
ok, i tried to load it on my Kindle and it won't log me in. suggestions?

For Teenagers, Hello Means ‘How About a Hug?’ - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/glogin...
Brent - Loving Life, \/\/\/ NeuroticsAnonymous, Erick Jimenez and 67 other people liked this
"There is so much hugging at Pascack Hills High School in Montvale, N.J., that students have broken down the hugs by type: There is the basic friend hug, probably the most popular, and the bear hug, of course. But now there is also the bear claw, when a boy embraces a girl awkwardly with his elbows poking out. There is the hug that starts with a high-five, then moves into a fist bump, followed by a slap on the back and an embrace. There’s the shake and lean; the hug from behind; and, the newest addition, the triple — any combination of three girls and boys hugging at once... A measure of how rapidly the ritual is spreading is that some students complain of peer pressure to hug to fit in. And schools from Hillsdale, N.J., to Bend, Ore., wary in a litigious era about sexual harassment or improper touching — or citing hallway clogging and late arrivals to class — have banned hugging or imposed a three-second rule."
- Bret Taylor
from Bookmarklet
Hugs are awesome. Unless they are coming from creepy people. Generally, though, they are awesome.
- Type Micah
Only in America it occurs to schools to ban hugging or impose an N-second rule. "“Touching and physical contact is very dangerous territory,” said Noreen Hajinlian, the principal of George G. White School, a junior high school in Hillsdale, N.J., who banned hugging two years ago. “It was needless hugging — they are in the hallways before they go to class. It wasn’t a greeting. It was happening all day.”
- ana
People are more physical nowadays. I appreciate this. Especially with the LADIES.
- Mike Nayyar
This hugging is a good thing, with electronic communication being the norm.
- Rick Cogley
the breakdown is very interesting. for us, growing up, it was kisses. affection amongst hard rocks was common too, this still exists today, involving complicated handshakes and hugs.
- Carlos Ayala
I am going to hug the entire FriendFeed team tomorrow. Bret can monitor the second counts.
- Louis Gray
Growing up in Japan, hugging didn't come natural to me. I can't remember my first hug, but I did like a girl's bosoms pressing against me. Those were the days!

@Hiro, lol. :-) Now in Japan, there's even groups that offer "free hugs" on the streetcorner. Japan has changed a lot in the 22 years since I came...

@ana, yeah, only in America. I am American, but I always wonder why people are so uptight about that sort of thing. 3-seconds... jeez.
- Rick Cogley
@Rick I believe you, but I want to see the pics of these people (and the reaction of the passersby).
- Hiro Asari
@Hiro - yeah, I've only seen them once for real, and a couple times in the paper. Peoples' reaction would be interesting yes.
- Rick Cogley
God, only in an American public high school could they turn a perfectly reasonable and healthy interaction into a cause for alarm. We Americans *need* a little more contact, if you ask me.
- Joel Webber
Ana/Rick: This is not only in America. It's happened in England, too: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol...

This was pretty common amongst a subset of people when I was in high school in Australia (mid-90s), along with cheek-kissing. It was great.
- Glen Murphy
Hugging is a good thing. It should be encouraged. You know, humans that touch one another, speak to one another, and that generally have social interaction, are happy humans. Deal with issues on a case by case basis and don't make these knee jerk blanket policies

OK, so this is an interesting phenomenon but I found it mighty weird that this story was on the front page, below the fold, of the print edition. The jump? It was to page A3. I'm all for quirky stories on the front page; it diversifies the page and reaches a broader audience. But....

So we are conservative, don't we? To me, only the most friendly will I give my hugs. I could expect the gap between us and our children.

The more high tech we find ourselves, the more our inner psyche (some, such as I, would say our soul) longs for the high touch.

* hug * :) I like hugs, glad the kids are doin' it :P

I always reserved my high school hugging for my teachers. And it was always inappropriate and very close to finals. WINNER.

"Last Monday, May 25th, the annual Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake was held near Gloucester, England. In a tradition that dates back at least 200 years, possibly much longer, groups of fearless competitors chase an 8 pound (3.5 kg) round of Double Gloucester Cheese down an extremely steep and uneven hill, with a 1:1 gradient in some parts. Thousands of spectators gather to watch the five downhill and four uphill races, and to celebrate the winners and console the losers afterward. Injuries such as broken bones and concussions are commonplace, but the event continues to grow in popularity. The winner of each race is awarded the delicious round of cheese they were chasing.

Chris, other photos/video show that he might have a g-string type thing on. However I don't see that as enough cover or something like this. If I was ever crazy enough to attempt this I would be going down in full hockey goalie gear!!

In ancient Rome, the men used to chase cheese rolls down from the Acropolis wearing only a thin coating of olive oil. OK, not really, but now it's on the Internet so it's half way to being true.

"When geologists were drilling for gas, 35 years ago, they suddenly found an underground cavern [...] None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas, so they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it has been burning."

"A large, almost perfectly circular hole approximately one quarter of a mile (0.4 km) across, it’s one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth. Inside this hole, the water is 480 feet (145 m) deep"
- Steven Bryden
Incredible dive. My husband and son did the dive with sharks swimming around them between the stalagmites and stalactites. I snorkeled on the rim with Kaianne. We had sharks swim under us as the guides threw chum in the water 20 feet away. A dive and snorkel that is well recommended.

A comparison of freeway ramp rendering on various online mapping sites shows that it's a tricky problem, and at least at the time of this post (2006), Google had the best rendering. I looked at Live and Yahoo again today and it still doesn't match what Google had in 2006.

His own company's map demo (http://maps.cartifact.com/) is pretty slick, with the labelled building outlines. No way to link to a particular view, but zooming in on that 10-110 intersection is nice.
- ⓞnor
It's always kind of surprised me to not see much commentary on the quality of map rendering in these apps. It was the first thing that struck me about Google Maps when they released (especially compared to MapQuest, which at the time looked like it had been rendered on my old C64).
- Joel Webber
He fails to mention this, but Google's is the only one on that list that shows the ramp directionality. I would think that might be good information to have :)
