“Watching the vice presidential debate... I will move back to Canada if McCain/Palin wins in Nov....”
Thursday at 6:20 pm - Link
I'm so annoyed that both McCain and Palin are very condescending in these debates... - Karen Padham Taylor
These things are tough to watch....makes me want to kick in the TV - Sheila Taylor
Canada: another country that Palin can see from her house. - Brian Johns
Yeah - I agree!! Palin can't answer a question. She's just talking about things she wants to talk about. It's so frustrating... - Karen Padham Taylor
OMG!!! I had to walk away from the debate....She is so annoying!! I would kick the TV, but my knee would suffer too much!!! - Skye Miller
My violent coughing had subsided until I started listening to her "responses". Ugh. - Dan Hsiao
You're my second friend who has said that. So now my fingers are crossed that they win because I want you all to move home! - jenn schachter
Well I was watching the Canadian debate, I took a minute here and there to listen to the USA one, and Palin just loves beating around the bush on questions. - Herman
The scariest thing is that if McCain/Palin win in Nov... there is a remote possibility a day might come when America could be led by a clown whose definition of "Foreign countries" is restricted to Canada and Russia :)... - Kunal Malhotra
Herman: I agree about Palin not answering questions. It's really frustrating to see she's getting decent press and NO ONE is showing clips when she openly says that she sometimes wont answer the moderator or Biden's questions...that she wants to talk to the people. That's BS. It's a debate, not her time to rant about things she's comfortable talking about. I was really annoyed by the moderator too. She wasn't able to press on Palin to answer questions. If we had last week's moderator, I think the outcome would have been different. - Karen Padham Taylor
Mike said he wanted to move to Canada if McCain wins, I said we should go to New Zealand instead. I was glad to finally get to see both of them speak. - amelia arapoff
Karen, if they win, I pledge a dollar towards your ticket, as a sign of friendship and bipartisanship. - Charles LePage
something people say every election... And no one ever moves. - robin k
robin, you that as if it was not obvious that no one is ever serious :-) (present company excepted, of course!) - j1m

What bothers me is how much these national telecom oligarchies are effectively monopolies because of collusion like this. Both companies institute the same policy at the same time so consumers don't have billing choice? - Bret Taylor
Just moved to Canada from Bangkok, Thailand. where telecoms and consumer banking go, I feel like I moved to the middle ages instead... - Metta (Kamath)
IIRC, the markup on text messaging costs are 6000%. Now they claim that you need to pay for incoming because the infrastructure costs are too high? - Nick Munson
@Bret, Others on plans from Rogers (&Fido) for example avoid this for now. But there's no way that Rogers won't do the same eventually. Ridiculous. - Nick Munson
This might be the first time I'm happy to be a Rogers user. Though that doesn't make me less angry at them for their iPhone plans. - jenn schachter
@jenn agreed. it's a bad time to own a cell phone in Canada no matter who your provider is. - Nick Munson
Wait, I thought Canada was supposed to be awesome. Was I lied to? - ⓞnor
Well an added bonus to the situation is if you get spam text messages, you will still be charged! Makes one wonder if they will hire a company to spam cellular phones. - Herman

I think Kevin has the best posture - Casey Muller
Great, how many people are you at the moment? - Leandro Ardissone
I swear the guy in the foreground isn't wearing pants. Cool office rules. - Jack Carlson
Paul rarely wears clothes. - Bret Taylor
This also looks like a "Battleship" tournament... Kevin, in fact, appears to be making the "you sank my battleship!" gesture. - Chris Reed
Great to see a company firing on all cylinders - Mike Doeff
Josh: the key is extremely large screens so you can't actually see the person in front of you. - Bret Taylor
Man, do people get sent to sit by the bathroom and public writeboard as punishment? - Stepan Mazurov
I brought a t-shirt to change into after biking to work, but I didn't bother. I might have made a different choice if I'd known it would be blogged... :-) - Kevin Fox
@Kevin: You match the rug and lamp so it's working. :) - Tsega Dinka

I see nobody will finish off that Old Time Candy. As your mothers likely told you, you can't have more until you finish what you already have! - Louis Gray
Louis: we ate all of our favorites. Apparently no one wants to eat the wax lips. That was the best gift we have ever gotten, by the way. You rock, Louis. - Bret Taylor
Bret, but shouldn't the interns _have_ to wear the wax lips as some form of initiation? - Louis Gray
So that's where all my attention went! :-) - Robert Scoble

The code isn't a kernel panic. You can see the blue bar at the top showing it's a window. Looks like a cool place to work. - possible248
I wish my office looked more like that instead of a cubical farm - Josh Smith
I forgot the closing </joke> tag on my "kernel panic" crack. Though, of course, if it is a kernel panic, I spotted it first. lol - Karim
The last time my office looked like this was when I was in gradudate school. - Khürt Williams via twhirl

Is it my understanding you can only lease the car and not buy it? Thats no fair! - Herman
Yah, and they are only making like two of them for movie stars. Oh, well. - Bret Taylor
@Herman, Ford I think it was (or some US manufacturer) did the same thing with it's first fleet of alternate powered vehicles about ten years ago. Offered them for lease only, after 4 years despite the fact everyone loved them and wanted to keep them they called in all the leases and destroyed the vehicles. Oil unions and other conglomerates 1, environmentally sane thinkers 0. - Steve Craft
