Today a flash made me look up and I saw, reflected in a window, the longest duration lightning flash I have ever seen. It was like a freeze frame or someone pressed pause on a video. - Stuart Woodward
@iMorpheus: not as crazy as this year has been. - Scott Jarkoff
Nice one there; reminds me of Moby's year of Internet absence. I think you'll manage just fine and will regain some sanity that's been lost during the always-connectedness. - Niklas Pivic via twhirl
"Did someone go out of their way to help you? Is a web site being particularly slow and flaky? Make your feelings known with plusplusbot. You can ++ (pronounced "plusplus") or -- ("minusminus") anything. Think brownie points (but archived forever)." - iMorpheus via Bookmarklet
That's awful (and awfully familiar - happens with kids.) Sorry that you had that happen to you. But karma does go round...(meaning that they will have it rebound- not that you in any way deserved it!) - Abby Martin
yeah, they can suck it. sorry, michelle. :( - edythe
That is just so, well, beyond rude. It reminds me of that scene in "Fried Green Tomatoes," where the younger women take the Kathy Bates character's parking space, and she rams them from the rear with her car, saying "I"m older, and I have more insurance." - Cathryn Hrudicka
See that's why they're gooing out of business and...oh, guess that's not why. - Mark Forman
I guess my "Fried Green Tomatoes" analogy is sort of like Glenn Slaven's solution.;-) - Cathryn Hrudicka
"Windmill and other projects
Starting at 14, rather than accept his fate, William started borrowing books from a small community lending library located at his former primary school. He borrowed a 5th grade American textbook called Using Energy, which depicted a wind turbine on its cover. He decided to build a windmill to power his family’s home and obviate the need for kerosene, which provided only smoky, flickering, distant and expensive light after dark. First he built a prototype, then his initial 5-meter windmill out of a broken bicycle, tractor fan blade, old shock absorber, and blue gum trees. He was able to power four light bulbs and two radios, and charge neighbors’ mobile phones. He then rebuilt a 12 meter windmill to better catch the wind above the trees, and added a car battery for storage, as well as homemade light switches and circuit breakers. He also experimented with building a radio transmitter to broadcast popular music interspersed with HIV prevention messages." - iMorpheus via Bookmarklet
I work at MS, so there's that, but I pretty much use Live Search now all the time. That definitely wasn't the case just 6-12 months back though... - Gus Perez
I stopped using Google for search. I prefer SearchMe. The video search is much better because you can view the video. Plus creating stacks is easy and quite a nice feature. - LPH
I've been using Live search more and more often. - Soulhuntre via twhirl
With rare topics (probably only once every 3 months), I use Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, pipl.com, and whatever meta-search engines still exist. Search engines only crawl a fraction of the web. Used to prefer HotBot over AltaVista, but Google "Cache" won me over. I didn't see Google as better than HotBot. Searching for all links by (1) friend (2) business-research sometimes has me jumping to multiple search engines. - Mitchell Tsai
Have yet to find a search engine that does search as quickly, cleanly and effectively as Google. That's why they dominate search. - Barak B
I've been using Google forever, but I'm getting into Live Search a little bit. I NEVER use Yahoo; it's never felt as thorough to me as Google when it came to results. - Avery Tingle
Barak summed it up beautifully. Plus it indexes faster than any search engine I'm aware of. - Mona N.
Spoken in the proper tone, most Web company names could be misconstrued for erotic acts. I will be plurkin all night! - Andy Angelos
Is this a hard and fast rule? If so, I need to get busy. - iMorpheus
texting and the sudden desire for plastic surgery :)) - Adriana Iordan
Wow. If that's true i must be the most unfaithful woman on the planet. Someone warn my boyfriend I'm not actually working..I'm messing around. What a crock of a story. - Candace Holly
"Coffee Filter UV Filter
I took an unused Tiffen UV Filter, unscrewed the retaining ring, and slipped the coffee filter between the ring and the glass." - iMorpheus via Bookmarklet
Congrats! Of course, soon will come walking. Then running. The dating. Beware! :-) - David Sifry via twhirl
As soon as my youngest learned to stand, he learned to destroy. He isn't walking yet, but he knows how to bring everything down to his level, including his older brothers. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
Rahsheen: That is just awesome. Good parenting. - iMorpheus via twhirl
/me points at his cellphone, the time display on the closed-circuit chuo line TVs, strangers, etc., "Why waste your money on a watch?" - iMorpheus via twhirl
The watches that make me want to wear them don't make me want to wear them so I'll know what time it is. Some are simply works of art. - Ray Grieselhuber
I always look at my cellphone to tell the time but it looks like I am not concentrating in meetings... - Stuart Woodward
"How do you see one of these Creatures in your Spore Creature Creator? Right Click on the thumbnail image of the creature. Save the image to your desktop. Drag the saved image from your desktop into the Spore Creature Creator. Voila! The Creature is in your game." - iMorpheus
"Adjacent sibling selectors have the following syntax: E1 + E2, where E2 is the subject of the selector. The selector matches if E1 and E2 share the same parent in the document tree and E1 immediately precedes E2." - iMorpheus
