Whoa, sweet - Amber
Does anyone recall any construction projects that turned out as impressive as (or more impressive than!) their concept sketches? - Dan Hsiao
Golden Gate Bridge - Ross Miller
Great example Ross, I'm so stoked for this terminal! - D rek
Me too! It is definitely going to change the SF skyline... should be exciting! - Ross Miller
And with it being the endpoint of the California bullet train, this place really might become SF's Grand Central Station. It's almost a shame that they no longer have train tracks on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge. (Yep, until 1963 when they turned the lower deck into more car lanes.) - Kevin Fox
Whoa. Our office is adjacent to that. So are some huge new fancy condo towers that are going up. Quite a revitalization of downtown SF. - DeWitt Clinton

I was soooo close to sharing this earlier :-) - Ross Miller
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - Amber
Oh I don't know. I'd argue that he's the only cool one in the photo. - Erica Baker
Yeah, looking back for a closer inspection, I'm thinking that pink sweatbands and giant pink panther shirts are not really all that cool. - Amber
Well he is the only one with a pop-able collar... - Ross Miller
But despite his pink panther shirt, his hat is sideways. That is WAY cool according to my cool score matrix. - Bret Taylor
Pop-able collars are key for coolness... - elroy via twhirl
Well, basically... I don't get the fail here. Serious - Yuvi
the white guy just dont get it.....he needs some flava if he wants to hang with the real OG's in the pick lol - Charles Rice via twhirl
The comments on that fail blog post are even more fail: "You write an entire paragraph ranting about people that say “First!”, and then tell them to get a life? Are you not spending your time viewing fail pix on the interwebz as well? What kind of life would you like THEM to lead, sir?" LOL - minus3
I don't know. Pink Panther PJs seem like a fail to me too. - AJ Kohn

"To commemorate the 2008 Beijing Olympics, this man stuck 2008 needles in his head, face, hands and chest." - Shannon Jiménez
Well, 2008 needles is nothing. But wat's he gonna do in London in 2012? I hear those extra 4 needles make all the difference. - Dan Liebke
Good point-- worse than the straw that broke the camel's back, I hear. - Shannon Jiménez
But why? Why pins? - Amber
Duh, Amber. OLYMPIC pins. - Bret Taylor
15 minutes of fame expiring in 3-2-1. *poof* - AJ Kohn
Would be far cooler if he used those little toothpick flags instead of just colored pins... - Ross Miller

So, let's see... I'm purer than Amber, but Matt is purer than all of us! - Shannon Jiménez
You know what would be awesome - being able to set up auto sharing of images from an RSS feed like xkcds - Glenn Slaven
weird, is sociology really part of that stack? Also, how come he left out biochemistry? - j1m
I suppose biochem would fall between biology and chemistry. - Shannon Jiménez
okay, bonus round: where does biophysics go? - j1m
Funny and 100% true! - Rahul Das via Alert Thingy
@j1m: better ask a mathematician :) - Shannon Jiménez
I wonder where computer scientists go? - Norman Rasmussen
computer scientists aim to create stuff...like gods do :P ...those guys above just try to analyze last things with language...which is a failure from the beginning. - krz9000
@krz9000: computer scientists are engineers, who create practical things for people to play with. Everything above doesn't try to create so much as understand the universe, thus, way more pure ;) - Shannon Jiménez
Hey, I had an emphasis in biology! Soooo, I guess I'm purer than myself... - Amber
I'm math!! So I'm with Matt! - Karen Padham Taylor
I don't understand why the girl on the right doesn't see the guy a few feet to her right? You know, the logician? After all, mathematics is just applied logic. - Kevin Fox
I guess my MBA is really unpure :( - Sheila Taylor
and Art tries to visually represent the universe in all these ways and from all these points of view (and more). In this comic, Art isn't on the graph, Art is the graph! ;) - Rachel L Fisher

Yeah, that Hide feature works really well with that noisy Louis Gray. ;-) - Hutch Carpenter
haha yea but seriously taking advantage of the hide feature can mean the difference between being able to interpret and manipulate a noisy account, or being inundated with crap you dont care about and missing valuable content. - Anthony
Ross - in all seriousness, nice job on this video. I see so many people asking questions about how to do things here. One more idea - include some written tutorials along with the videos (there are times you just want to read something quickly). I know Louis wrote a post on the Hide feature (http://tinyurl.com/6h37zl). Maybe something like that. - Hutch Carpenter
Thanks Hutch! Great idea... I just didn't want to steal any of louis' traffic ;-) - Ross Miller
@Hutch: Yeah that Louis Gray guy is quite a nut! ;) - April Buchheit
I'm falling asleep to the sound of Ross's voice... not quite Gary Busey's but give it ten years of a pack-a-day and he'll be there :) - Peter Butler
Hehe... glad to see you checked your FreindFeed Pete! - Ross Miller
I thought you said they weren't going to use your voice!!! Heheh. Sweet. PS You hid one of my posts in your video! How dare you!! - Amber
Louis is definitely one noisy nut!! LOL ;-) That's why he did that blog post about the *hide* feature too!! - Susan Beebe
You know, we could just start a separate thread for Louis abuse. Who wants to do it? - Louis Gray
after all this fruity madness recently, i dream about search'n'hide ... or better search'n'shoot - silpol
Louis we need a ROOM to contain all the abuse! http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ab... So when you're bad we can send you to your room! lol - Susan Beebe
Oh... Look Bwana's taking the lead! He's already abusing Louis and having lots of fun at it! See it live here --> http://friendfeed.com/e/bd9784... - Susan Beebe

You're both bums. Who get's off work at 4pm? - Peter Butler
It's because I started at 7am today...who's the bum now? - Emily Miller
Well, I'm going to try to leave early because I have to bike from work to the car shop, pick up the car and pay for my new lock, set up my roommate's bike rack, attach my bike, drive back to my apartment, show the apartment to a potential roommate from craigslist, and THEN go to the concert. Haha. I'll give you a call when I'm close to being ready. Maybe 6ish? - Amber
Holy cow, sounds kinda crazy....good luck! talk to you soon! - Emily Miller

OK, here are your gang names: Ross the horrific horn-honker and Emily the bloodcurdling biker babe. Watch out central valley, here we come! - Amber
I think I need some help with our gang's name though, any suggestions? - Amber
You need someone with a mullet. Can't have an intimidating bike gang unless someone has a mullet. - Michael Beck
Hahaha I love my new biker name. Hmmm....what about "The NorCal Nuisance" for our gang name? Just an idea... - Emily Miller
Are you going to attach cards to the spokes of the bike to make really dangerous noises? And what color streamers will come out of the handlebars? - Ontario Emperor
Oh pink streamers for sure, that is by far the most vicious color. Perhaps we'll incorporate some lavender... - Amber

"Unfortunately, people are not good at picking a job that will make them happy. Gilbert found that people are ill equipped to imagine what their life would be like in a given job, and the advice they get from other people is bad, (typified by some version of “You should do what I did.”)" - Jim Norris
"It’s simple, proven advice, but few people take it because they think they are unique and their experience in a career will be different. Get over that. You are not unique, you are basically just like everyone else." - Clare Dibble
Question: how much money do you need to have a sex life? - Amber
Not much... many people have a sex life on a college budget... - Ross Miller
Is that really why few people take that advice? Do very many people even hear that advice often enough to separate it out from the heaps of other advice they get? Don't get me wrong, its excellent advice: switch careers early and often, you'll find that some make you much much happier than the first one you try. But it's good advice because, ahem, people are unique. - j1m
“It’s true that money impacts which person you marry, but money doesn’t impact the amount of sex you have.” - Evan Parker
“Going from sex once a month to sex once a week creates a big jump in happiness. And then the diminishing returns begin to set in.” Well, I guess that answers that question. - ⓞnor
penelope trunk kind of reminds me of niniane - Neha Narula
Firstly, I thought there was some recent research that revealed more money actually does result in more happiness, and the earlier "diminishing returns in salary increase after basic needs are met" was faulty. Secondly, I wish the article would clarify what they are categorizing within "sex". Thirdly, why does Penelope Trunk remind Neha of me???? Though I do wish I had a name like Penelope Trunk. Damn that's a good name. - niniane
I guess you both have the made-up-name thing going on... - Jim Norris
Is her name made-up? Anyway I've been reading her blog for the past 15 minutes. At first I liked her style of writing. But then I realized I haven't laughed once. Her blog isn't funny at all. It's anti-funny. So now Neha's comment offends me. Fuck you Neha! - niniane
This one is pretty good though: http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/... - niniane
@Niniane: yes, her name is made up: http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/... - Tudor Bosman
“All we really want is to get paid and get laid.” ...thats the last line and theonly thing in the entire blog that resonates with me - all else is pure tripe - viki saigal

Bret, since I am the one actually in possession of your old school pictures, what is it worth to you to not have them scanned and posted :) - Sheila Taylor

You're kidding! What happened this time??? - Sheila Taylor
I'm in the same boat, Erick. My car got broken into this weekend so now I have to fix my lock and replace all of my audio equipment. And considering that my car is 12 years old, I have a feeling I'm putting money into a car that's only doing downhill. But anyway, sorry about having to fix your car!! - Amber
I had to bring my car to shop, this time the engine light was on when I was driving, so the report said that the large evap system leak, the fuel cap not sealing and bla bla bla... and we are spending too much money to fix it and every week I have to bring my lemon to the shop, and I'm not kidding!! - Erick Jimenez
