The first sip of coffee I promptly spat out when I was 5 years old. I didn't understand how my Mom could drink such a foul beverage. I took up coffee drinking as a teenager as part of an end scene in all-night mosh/raves/parties. My cups were filled with more sugar and cream than coffee, I think. As I got older, I used less cream and sugar....

and drank more coffee. After I started drinking more specialty coffee, it became increasingly more difficult to drink shite coffee. When I was an undergrad, I worked as a barista and that changed everything about how I viewed coffee. It became less of a beverage and more of an important part of my life. Hence my typical user name, taoofcoffee. I appreciate a good cup of coffee or espresso like some can appreciate a fine wine or cigar.

The books are good, though towards the end of the series, Goodkind was clearly out of his freakin' tree. That's when you really see how much his books were written as a rant against organized religion, and his ire gets in the way of telling a good story. A coworker and I had a debate on whether he seemed to be targeting a specific religion or not; I felt it was more generalized whereas...

I think Faith of the Fallen was the last of the series that I truly enjoyed. I had to force myself through Pillars of Creation mainly because I just didn't care to spend so much time reading about Jennsen. Naked Empire was an improvement for me. But starting with Chainfire...dunno, the series just kind of went meh for me. :-/ I liked the concepts and all, but the Chainfire trilogy did not do the entire series justice, which is said considering it's the closing of the Sword of Truth. Boo. :(

I know, right? He does do a good job of being Richard though. It's a decently fun series to watch. I hope you enjoy most of the episodes despite some glaring discrepancies between books and series.

@Joe: true, except that some of the changes they made were definitely of the WTF variety. I think part of what caused the series to fail is that they took on too many WTF changes.

but, are you saying that thinking of it as a TV show, or are you saying that thinking of the connection to the books? It's like The Dresden Files, they changed a lot of things but since it was a different entity than the books they didn't get anything "wrong." Same here in my opinion.
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
I'm a fan of multiple mediums and understand the changes made between them. I've long understood that I will inherently like the book better than the adaptation, but still have enjoyed countless adaptations. I was enjoying this quite a bit early on. but when you change this many fundamental facts upon which all the books are built upon, it ceases to be that world, that author's vision,...

They're wrong about #6....about how they never mentioned the warp rifts ever again. After that episode starfleet imposed fleet wide warp speed limits (warp 5 except in case of emergency) to reduce subspace damage and began researching 'green' warp technologies. The intrepid class of starships (as seen on voyager) was the first to incorporate this 'variable geometry' warp technology which allowed the ship to travel faster then warp 5 without damaging subspace. /star trek technobabel geekout

Actually, Andrew, that seems to be the problem when I apply for a lower level job: they always assume that I'm going to take it as a stop gap and will leave when/if I find something better. So they don't hire me. Grrr....

Been there, done that Tina. :) You will make it through, and someone will see the wisdom of hiring you. I hope it's soon, and you don't go too crazy before then.
- Bette Cooper
Well, we'll hope I don't go too much MORE crazy: I've always been a little off ;-)

I do Mechanical Turk (and have for about 2 years now) and don't/can't program at ALL.

Rochelle, how much time would you say you put towards MT each week?
- FFing Enigma
It really varies. I used to spent 10+ each week. These days, maybe an hour. Depends on how bored or busy I am.

"We test a lot of software around here, on the web, on our desktop and on our phones. It's a great job to have, but only so much of what we test really sticks and becomes a part of our daily routines. Every once in awhile we like to compare lists in our team chat room and then share them with you. Here are the latest tools and services we've come to love, maybe you'd like to give them a try too."

Have always liked Seesmic Web. Not too many bells and whistles you don't need.
- rowlikeagirl
The Seesmic interface looks appealing. What I am going to need is a way to group people whom I follow on twitter based on how often they tweet, not based on userids.
- TrafficBug
Seesmic Web is good but I prefer Seesmic Desktop (to Matthew's distaste ;-)).

"Monopoly the movie will be done weirdly, thanks to director Ridley Scott's science fictional plans for the board game adaptation. The good news is that Uncle Pennybags made the cut."
