Business Gangsta mami, quit hating!! And btw, I did spend a couple of weeks on Heifa St. - jamar78

When Joel and I were in Iraq, he spent 11 months on the FOB, did not go outside the wire once. Meanwhile, I did more convoys outside the wire than I can count. Anyway, 2 weeks before he is scheduled to fly back to the US, a captain requested that he go to Haifa Street for a few days during their first election. At the time, Haifa Street was one of the most dangerous places to be. I was... more... - Michelle Martinez

must've been quite an experience - Cee Bee

In retrospect yes it very neat to witness and be a part of Iraq's 1st election and watching the Iraq people run up to me to show their inked fingers. But at the same time it sucked having 4 polling stations surround you and knowing that we were basically a huge target. - jamar78

Whoa. Joel, I'm glad you came back safe. - Anika

Thanks Anika, like most things in the Military, you don't really enjoy them or appreciate them till after the fact. - jamar78

Thanks for your service. - Matt Hilton

Thanks to both of you for serving. :) - JA Castillo

Yes :) What Matt and JA said. <3 - joey

Thank's ya'll we appreciate it....its like I tell people...a service member never truly appreciates what they are experiences till after the fact. It was hard going through the field exercises, the pt, the deployment, the staff duty and what not, but after the fact you truly miss what went along with all those experiences. - jamar78

Hope you had a great Veterans Day and Thank You !!! - Eric Logan

Glad you both came back okay! (And got together.) My brother was in both Afghanistan & Iraq for a couple tours and I was worried sick about him. (He came back ok, too. Though friends of his didn't...) - Spidra Webster

Well unfortunately, those tree huggers and hippies can't afford newer, better cars because they don't make much being activists. However, their carbon footprint overall is so vastly reduced, that them driving a VW bus doesn't bring them anywhere near to the gross polluter status that most Americans exhibit with their lifestyles. I can buy myself a Smartcar, but until I start living completely off the grid, I'm still a gross polluter. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Buying a Smartcar won't reduce your emissions. The gas mileage on those things sucks for as lightweight as they are. - Alex Scoble

It's hard to avoid generalizations when dealing with managing natural resources and the environment. There are so many misinformed people these days, and politicians and the media seem keen to keep it that way. I have to remain so unerringly neutral most of the time that it's frustrating. Especially when I see people make the statement that Zehn make. No, I don't really think all... more... - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

@Amanda: brilliant stuff. a lot of environmental hand-waving can get you a Nobel PEACE prize--something that struck me as odd, but whatever--not to mention the $1M purse that goes along with the medal. I saw 'An Inconvenient Truth' when it first came out and left the theater shaking my head at the audacity of his allegations, but people bought into it! He wouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of attention he did if oil prices didn't escalate like they did. (cont.) - grant fox

Yep, I'm in the 1% crowd that doesn't even own a car.. AND a Republican. :-) - Ken

all that being said, I don't think Gore is an idiot; he is just pandering to a growing group within the population that is misinformed either by choice or design. there needs to be a compromise from both sides, that's what eventually is going to happen, and the world will be better off for it. - grant fox

I agree, grant, Al Gore is a lot of things, idiot is definitely not one of them. - Alex Scoble

I consider Gore an idiot not because of his film but because of how huge a hypocrite he's been. He presents us with this film, and all this data, and asks us to think about the environment...and then he does little to show us that he's walking the talk. Perhaps "idiot" is too strong a word, but there it is. I can't unsay what I've already said. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

if you think of environmentalism as a religion and accept that there are radicals in every religion, then you just write it off as par for the course and move on. it's when the radicals get listened to by the masses that you have to worry; the Taliban, Hitler, etc. But doesn't that usually happen under extreme circumstances? This is how I've concluded that although I get annoyed by the "tree-huggers" because of their inability to listen to me as much as they want me to listen to them, (cont.) - grant fox

they might represent a serious problem at the core and that I shouldn't so easily dismiss their cries. - grant fox

@grant: Very true. As someone once said, "The extreme always seems to make an impression." Unfortunately the radicals do kind of numb people to their cause by just becoming nuisances. It's like how nobody really flinches anymore when Berkely comes up with a wacky new law. We just shrug and chuckle and go "Oh, it's Berkeley." Unfortunately their core reasoning gets lost as a result. My... more... - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

well said Amanda, I'm with you. I want Berkeley to do what they do, although I don't always agree with them. Every side needs to be heard and represented. it's just frustrating to me that in the western world one side is only getting heard via the media. i'm not asking people to bathe in oil, but please consider the many benefits delivered by having it in our lives. our modern society was built on petroleum, we'll find a way past it most likely in the next century only because it's running out. - grant fox

Let's hug, grant. I like you. :D It's optimism like yours that keeps me going for one more day. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Amanda you shouldn't get frustrated with me :P, just blame Davis I do....They aren't the only ones I take notice of. Those so called peaceful protests that some how end up causing millions of dollars of damage. The auto ceo's flying in on jets. Some of those peta people who save the animals and some times burn down building. Davis who did Radiation testing on thousands of dogs and then buried them in the creek ( you know which one). Or wasting tax payers money to build a tunnel for frogs that don't use it. - Zehn

OMG I'd forgotten about the fucking frogs. That was ridiculous. I love Davis. I really do. it's a lovely town and I've spent a lot of time there over the years, since my family first moved to Dixon actually. And they have the best food co-op I've been to ever.

And they definitely don't practice adaptive management, so instead of adjusting the process and trying again, they just leave these ridiculous things in place. More punchlines ensue. It's sad. It's too good a town to be so sideways. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

You're not looking at this issue historically. At the time bugs came out, everyone had huge gas-hogging cars. The bugs were small. that's when the stickers came out. Now, it's just anachronistic. - anna sauce

Isn't this a huge spam vector? All I have to know is someone's email address to mail from and I can send stuff to FF? - Brian Sullivan

Shakeel: Yes. In order to approve the post, you have to log in to FriendFeed if you aren't logged in already. - Tudor Bosman

Brian: as Shakeel noted, the approval request will be sent to the email address that was used to post. If someone is trying to spam, they will receive the approval request, not you. In order to approve, though, they would have to log in to FriendFeed, so they can only impersonate you if they know your FriendFeed password. - Tudor Bosman

It is sent to the address that the user claimed does it not ? If they claimed to be me I would get the request? Spam may be an over statement -- but it certainly could be annoying. - Brian Sullivan

"The accessory market has responded to Apple's challenge of getting an entire day's use out of the iPhone 3G with a range of external batteries. Some function as "dongles" that attach to the bottom, while others are built into protective cases that, upon first glance, look as though their designers were drawing blueprints while under the influence. Incase's Power Slider is neither of these things." - Devon Campbell from Bookmarklet

sexy! Best one yet, props to the team who came up with this :-) - vijay

Looks stunning. This would make a nice case, let alone that it's a battery back up as well. Nice! - Fox Tucker

$99 they say but it adds .4 inches to the width. - Amani

Looks great! Am I just seeing things or is that a standard USB B port at the bottom as well? Useful for just charging with more available cables and other secondary charging sources. Amazing if it enables syncing via that port as well! - Jamie Dool

@Jamie I believe the port either charges the battery or syncs. There is a button on the case that you hold for a few seconds. After that, the data is passed through. - Devon Campbell

I held it today at the Apple store in SF. It's extremely light and has a good fit and finish but it does add a noticeable thickness to the phone that I'm not sure I want in my standard front pocket carrying location. - Jamie Dool

Just bought it and LOVE it. Don't mind the thickness. Much better than carrying around a dead brick! - Ryan Brack

I could NOT use my iPhone without this; otherwise, with all of my "pushing" and surfing and music-ing, my phone did not last past 5PM, and that is no exaggeration. Thus, when I saw this and some positive reviews, it was a no-brainer. Now, I run my phone in the same way I did before but with the brightness cranked to the top, the wireless on at all times and at 5PM I'm usually still at 100% battery. Fantastic product (although I did see some pictures of new, thinner ones out or coming out...)! - Brandon Blattner

I wonder when the new thin ones will come out. I just got a case today but I would spring for the newer thin ones. Any idea? - Amani

Just picked up one of these today as a result of needing to go to the genius bar for something else... can't wait for it to finish charging!!! - Walt Ruppar

Tested the device on the 3GS and it works fine. Actually it will work on all three generations. Prior to OS 3.0, I used to get a message on the 2G when connected 'not made for this device' or something, but haven't seen it again since upgrading to 3.0. However it doesn't really fit the 2G design, as it is really made for the 3G/3GS forma factor, but it will work in a pinch! - Walt Ruppar

Thanks. Was it good for you too? - vijay

In what way does twitter do anything to give yourself a feeling of getting attention without community participation? - SuezanneC Baskerville

Yeah, i don't know if it's attention really, more like attachment. I see Twitter as a steppingstone channel to FF. Eventually, everyone will be here, primarily, or a place like it. - Thom Kennon

Suezanne (and others who have the same question),on twitter if you have good content people will find you (via RT. And you get notified when people reshare your tweets so you know your stuff gets around unlike on FF). On FF, um... good luck with that. - vijay

Ofcourse, I don't care about twitter since I'm not on the internet for "attention". I'm here for "conversation" which is why you can see my massive comment + like count on my FF profile : ) - vijay

I guess I'm not understanding what you mean by community involvement then. People finding your comments seems like community involvement, as does retweeting. - SuezanneC Baskerville

there's a misunderstanding. To be clear, I can keep pushing tweets and get tons of followers and retweets WITHOUT interacting with *any* of my followers on twitter. On FF, to get attention to one's stuff one has to get out and interact with others for them to pay attention to one's feed. - vijay

And of course, FF is logically more rewarding. - Mo Kargas

depends on what "reward" the person is looking for. I have seen tons of bloggers on FF complain that twitter gives them better ROI. For bloggers it's all about traffic. And twitter gets them that with the least amount of effort. - vijay

To be clear, I'm not particularly a fan of twitter. It's just that I saw many pose this question around March; I thought about it and posted my thoughts on it. That's all. - vijay

I'd agree w/ vijay. the more time I spend on FF, the more value I get. however, I don't have that much time to devote to FF's conversations on a consistent basis. for now, Twitter is still more rewarding to me. - jbrotherlove

I don't watch American Idol, but I'm trying to understand the appeal. Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Taylor Hicks have all lost their record deals. Does anyone care about these people once the show is over?

Or is it just indicative of the ongoing loss of business in the music industry? - Derrick

The only one who seems to really have done something with her win is Kelly Clarkson but she distanced herself from the show pretty early on. Maybe that's the trick? - ♥patricia♥

Wasn't Carrie Underwood an Idol winner too? - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

The only one who has really made something of herself was the first winner Kelly Clarkson. All the other ones seem to have never really made it, so I am not sure if it is indicative of what is going on in the music industry. Well..Fantasia is doing The Color Purple. - Shevonne

I know that the American Idol concert series makes a lot of money every time it rolls around. Probably the fact that the whole process is documented, people burn through the appeal of these singers before they ever press an album. - Mike Nayyar

Isn't it primarily for fleeting entertainment for the viewers; ratings for the TV networks, and money in the pockets of the promoters? Anyway, since when did major record labels ever give a crap about the artists? That leads back to the whole RIAA thing suing illegal downloaders and pretending they're protecting artists... - Ian May

The novelty seems to wear off pretty fast after the show ends. I've never watched it, but I can't see anyone really wanting to check out one of the singers after the hype goes away. - James Ferguson

I dont watch Derrick. The only thing on tv worth watching is the Tudors! - Erin @queenofspain

Those were the lean years :-) - Todd Hoff

Its the way the show is set up. They promote their performers for an entire television season, tour them all winners (and not winners) for the better part of a year then stop, moving on to the next bunch of kids for the next show. Seems to me that when the producers move on so do "the fans" - J. Abdul-Qahhar

thank god. I thought I was the only one who didn't get the appeal of it. My sis still raves about it but someday she'll come around. I think. - vijay

Joni Mitchell sang about "the star-making machinery" and it's true. Most artists are only good for a few years, then they renegotiate their deals so they get a better cut and those who were feeding off of their talent, move on to a more profitable sucker. You need to stroke and stoke those screaming fans. - Phil Boiarski

the appeal is that you get to see someone emerge as a star. the problem is that the three dudes you mentioned kind of suck. does anyone care once the show is over? depends on how talented they are. daughtry and j.hud are doing just fine (though they lost). kelly clarkson has lost the idol stigma. fantasia could potentially do the same, but we'll have to see how well album #2 and the movie musical adaptation of "The Color Purple" do. - tiffany

I think it just goes to show how fickle the music buying public is. However, how many seasons have there been? 7? If you get a Carrie Underwood and a Kelly Clarkson out of every 4 or 5 shows you're doing pretty well compared to the standard music business. - Kenton

I enjoy it while it's on, but they generally do a much better job of promoting the show than of promoting the singers that emerge from the show. And the first album (the "Idol" album) is almost always dreck. Even Kelly's first one wasn't that good - it was the second one that gave her staying power. Carrie's also done well, by staying in the country niche and doing it well (I guess, I'm not a country fan). - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I stopped watching it 2 years back. After they dodged Bo Brice and then Chris Daughtry which are both very talented I saw that it was just cliquish and like high school. And not for true talent! I thought they had even canceled AI but I guess it is still on. :( - aerobroken

@aerobroken I forgot about Daughtry, he's becoming pretty popular and seems to be on the verge of hitting it big. - Kenton

The appeal I'd hazard is largely due to America's obsession with celebrity being the next big thing: getting your 15 minutes, almost everyone wants it, Ive never watched it starting from season 1 - sofarsoShawn

Interesting that some 35 million people watch every week, and the ratio of successful careers after the show is virtually nil. At first I thought people just wanted to watch the gawd-awful audition process, but people watch right up until the very end. - Derrick

there was a FF post a few weeks back about artists that would never make it on American Idol, with most of the artists being some of our most treasured musicians (Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, et al.). I think American Idol is a perversion of the American Dream, plastic-wrapped for your viewing convenience and pleasure. rags-to-riches gone mad. - grant fox

and I heard a statistic that more people voted on American Idol than for president of the US. - grant fox

*bump* - Derrick

Grant - that is so sad. - anna sauce

Derrick that's like saying the Pinto, AMC Pacer, and the Yugo suck as cars so why should anyone be interested in cars? Daughtry, Clarkson, and Underwood are all doing well. A lot of fine crooners were on this year and someone will take off. That's why I watch. To see people overcome and do something good, possibly even great. - Todd Hoff

There have been a lot of careers launched via Idol. Kelly Clarkson = international hit. Carrie Underwood = sells millions of albums every time she sneezes, has a bundle of Grammys and CMA awards. Chris Daughtry = 4x platinum. Kelly Pickler = quite successful in countryland. (A whole batch of Idols have actually charted in the country world, where being wholesome, attractive, and... more... - Roger Benningfield

Roger, I'm not saying people haven't been successful post-Idol, what I'm saying is that the media has portrayed these current two finalists in this big last show sing-off right down to the wire. Hell, I own a Kelly Clarkson CD (and it gets a lot of play because I think it's a good album, frankly). I know Carrie U., Daughtry, etc. have done well, but it seems to me that...well, for example, the dude that won last year, where is he? Is that David Cook (I don't even know his name)? - Derrick

Fantastia (season 2) has been a huge success on Broadway, as has Clay Aiken. In fact, Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks (both from Birmingham, AL) are really the only winners who haven't made a pretty good showing, and both of them are blues singers with pretty niche appeal. David Cook and David Archuleta (from last year) have both made successful albums; however, it usually takes a couple of years past winning before a winner can establish him/herself. - Glen Campbell, B.A.

I suppose. Out of all the people who've ever appeared on Idol (full disclosure: I stopped watching it a while ago, although I'm aware of it's popularity), I've only bought the Clarkson CD. And I'm not arguing with these people's success. I just know people are die hard fans of the show, yet when the people release music, they have yet to buy a CD. But that might just be the blight of the music industry over all. - Derrick

I've never watched the show and have no interest in it. The whole premise of reality television bothers me. Basically the networks get mass viewership for little in the way of production value. I suppose Idol is a bit of an exception. The judges surely aren't doing it for free. And a lot goes into the music and sets and such. But the "talent" gets nothing. They're basically working for... more... - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS

I think less than 10% of the people interested in the show are actually interested in the careers of the winners. The appeal, I am guessing, is based off of seeing something new, watching it develop, and judging it to be good or bad. - Brendan Clancy

1UP Brendan. I dare say that most people are even more smitten with the tryout portion of the show where the painfully clueless seem to make fools of themselves. - Derrick

Derrick, I actually love that part! Think its hysterical... not hysterical enough to DVR or anything, but still. - Brendan Clancy

"The 80’s were a decade of decadence, with everything being bigger, crazier, and more over the top. It was the beginning of the age of insanity, and yet somehow, out of the midst of all of the big crazy hair and drug use and Reaganomics, a few gems that could withstand the test of time were born. Even if the hair and clothes change, some things just stay perfect. With that we present…" - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

Agree on this list? - Kol Tregaskes

no goonies? Beverly Hills Cop? Ghostbusters? Terminator? Mind you, there are too many 80's movies to ever come up with a list as short as 12 :P - alphaxion

"Ted, strange things are afoot at the Circle-K." - Matt

the 80's were great for all! ..what about music? In those movies have to be "Trainspotting" THE 80's movie :) - xavi

I'm skeptical. Gotta leave for work now, but I'll check out the list soon and get back with my verdict. And xavi, what are you talking about? Trainspotting is 1995. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

I haven't seen a few of the movies, but judging by the ones I have seen. Yes. The list is acceptable. - Joe Pierce

I suppose it's acceptable. Of them all, I only really love The Princess Bride and Die Hard. I like Ferris Bueller and Bill & Ted well enough. Top Gun and The Thing are all right. And the others I haven't seen. Nope, not an '80s convert yet. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

The Lost Boys!!! Now THERE is a vampire movie. - mark

I can't believe they have missed out the Goonies! :-( Explorers too. Love that, like the in-space version of Goonies. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

and no Karate Kid? - chrisofspades

Indiana Jones? Back to The Future? Aliens? Blade Runner? Predator? - Kol Tregaskes

What are the parameters for the list? Where's Risky Business? Where's Fast Times at Ridgemont High. - Bryan R. Adams

There are a couple of Star Wars movies too but I can easily give them a miss. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Agree on Lost Boys and Princess Bride. Die Hard was OK but that's really it for me. - Kol Tregaskes

Why do lists of "awesome 80s movies" always seem like "guilty pleasure movies" to me? - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

Inclusion of "Transformers", "GI Joe" and "Coming to America" tanks its credibility. - Ken Sheppardson

xavi, you're not even close there, Trainspotting is 1996: http://www.imdb.com/title... - Kol Tregaskes

Ken, agree. Very odd choices to me. I mean 'Coming to America'? Are you sure!? ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

E.T. (1982) - Ken Sheppardson

Kol and Ken, yall just lost some credibility with me. Coming to America is a classic! - chrisofspades from IM

Chris, happy to lose credibility, thought that was a pretty awful Eddie Murphy comedy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

OK, I guess maybe we could cut it some slack because it's "12... That Are Perfect" and not "The 12 Most Perfect..." - Ken Sheppardson

come on Kol...the barbershop scenes? Randy Watson? Soul-Glo!!!?!!?! that movie is pure gold. - chrisofspades

Coming to America is flat out an awesome movie. - Bryan R. Adams

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why "Coming to America" over "Trading Places"? IMO it's not even Christmas without "Trading Places". - Andrew C

scrooged! it's the quintesential christmas movie :) - alphaxion

Hehe. - Kol Tregaskes

you know there's a karate kid and weekend at Bernies remakes in the works? The karate kid remake will be called "kungfu kid" and have Jackie Chan as Mr Miagi - alphaxion

Get a Sony Reader. And give me a break, I know you still have a US credit card. Just have it shipped to me or Ovidiu @ the office and we'll ship it to Singapore for you. :-) - Piaw Na

Nah... I'll whine whenever Amazon or Apple or Google think that the US is the only country that matters. - Peng-Toh

Shipping to you won't work. Shipping address has to be the same as billing address. - Peng-Toh

No, I had mine shipped to my office, and my home address is my mom's. :-) - Piaw Na

May be Amazon accepts. Most companies don't like US credit cards with a foreign billing address. Of course, the other problem is that it is way too expensive! - Peng-Toh

Just checked a bunch of books I bought recently. No sign of the Kindle edition :( - Peng-Toh

Heh. Mac users complaining about something that's too expensive. I can slap an Apple logo on it if you like. :-) - Piaw Na

nice affiliate link Piaw :) - mjc

$229 for ipod touch 8GB, yes. $489 for Kindle DX 4GB. Nope. I'll get a lot more value out of the ipod touch. There's a Kindle App too. - Peng-Toh

Yes there is, but the Kindle DX screen is heck bigger, and usable in direct sunlight, and doesn't cause eyestrain. But maybe there'll be a 10" Ipod HD soon. It'll cost $1000, but it'll have an Apple logo so you'll buy it. :-) - Piaw Na

I'm no Apple fanboy. Apple is just as bad as Amazon. - Peng-Toh

I think Apple has an easier job distributing the ipods. - Piaw Na

Easier job? - Peng-Toh

"On stage for the London opening of Waiting For Godot this week, Patrick Stewart looked every one - and more - of his 68 years. Yet it seems there is life in the old dog yet, if his recent romantic history is anything to go by. Fresh from starring as the flea-bitten tramp Vladimir in Samuel Beckett's play opposite Sir Ian McKellen, Stewart arrived at the after-show party on the arm of a second much-younger companion. Months after parting with the British actress Lisa Dillon, who was almost 40 years his junior, Stewart is enjoying a relationship with a 31-year-old New York-based jazz singer by the name of Sunny Ozell. They joined guests including Sting and Paul McCartney with his girlfriend Nancy Shevell. " - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

thank you. I know the Croatian coastal roads - the so-called Adriatic 'magistrala'. I have witnessed several deadly wrecks there, just visiting the coast for the summer when I was a kid. Definitely deserves its deadly reputation. But the other roads look even scarier. No way I'd drive on any of them! - Bora Zivkovic

Rishabh Mishra (p248)

In Ray Bradbury's novel "Fahrenheit 451," a dystopian society forbids too much thinking because it makes people upset. There is a small grain of truth to this. Discussions of morality often create emotionally-charged conversations.

Does this mean that it is my duty to annoy this world? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

4 more comments

It is never one's duty to annoy. Well, unless it's a covert psychological warfare thing. But normally, deliberately annoying others is completely worthless and in fact counter-productive. By annoying, you bring up every mental defense your opponent has. That of course is merely a quibble of semantics. - i80and

So, i80and, I should limit the number of my emotionally-charged morality discussions? - Rishabh Mishra (p248)

Not the number; the intent. You argue to convince, not to annoy. Unless you like wasting your time, that is. Annoyance may be a side-effect, but it should be minimized as much as possible. It only gets in the way. - i80and

my new motto.. "I THINK THEREFORE I ANNOY" - CW™

If one doesn't eventually shut his piehole regarding morality, annoyance is guaranteed. Though I would take an opportunity to reduce said annoyance. - Rishabh Mishra (p248)
