"Ha! So true. The first one, poverty, is the most prevalent for me. And yes, it has lingered, but I'm going to beat that symptom if it's the last thing I do. :) All the rest, well, par for the course. Thanks for this lovely reminder, Howard."

"Yeah Chris. This is why I made a new post as you probably saw in the opening line. I thought about this some more, and obviously not everyone can have their name. So I think you are on the right track, make a new one, or some variation of yours. I'm lucky in that the other 7 or so Jeremy Vaughts that I'm aware of are clearly not too quick to pick up new Social Media platforms. But then again, how can they compete with jeremyvaught.com/.net/.org/.tv. :)"

"Oh? This is interesting. I've been using Wordpress since b2evolution and was thinking of dabbling with Expression Engine. But your post puts a serious dent in that. :) Thanks for the WP encouragement, Jon."

"This isn't a story, so my apologies about that. This is just what I do because I'm bad with names as well, but like you say, they are powerful. So to emphasize how bad I am about this, what I do without thinking about it, is I'll hear someone's name, and literally moments later want to use their name, and I can't for the life of me remember. I realized I was just not focusing on retaining that information. So now, I focus on retaining that information. When they say their name, I think, "ooooh, their name, remember that." And then I'll say it in my mind now and then while we talk. I try to use it out loud before they depart. And I always practice on my food servers, this keeps me in practice, and gets me better service. win/win!"

just letting you know you have three identical messages showing up in friendfeed, from ping.fm , identi.ca, and twitter
- SuezanneC Baskerville
ahhh, interesting. Yeah, I ping.fm'd that out. I'll have to check if there is a way to remove the duplicity from friendfeed when I do that. Thanks! Jeremy

"I'm all about the small camera. I had a Canon Powershot I used and loved until I accidentally left it in my pants in the wash. So I thought I would upgrade to a Sanyo Xacti. It's a better video camera, but the net result is MUCH less video AND pictures. I need another Powershot. Thanks for reminding me to look into that again."

"This applies to #2. About a year ago I quit listening to the radio in the car. And I am always amazed how my mind starts to really focus on things that I don't otherwise think about while doing other things. But I think that's it, I'm doing other things. In the car, not so much. And it doesn't need to be waterproof, but I always have to keep my pad of paper ready. I used to use Jott.com before they started charging... actually, now that I say that, I should go back and investigate if it's worth paying. Calling is less accident prone."

I further submit that I am highly suspect of their purported gender, as well.

I remember having similar thoughts about a certain boys band called New Kids on the Block, when I was his age. I think it's in our nature to despise to despise un-manly men when we are in Jr. High or thereabouts. When we get older, we just cease to care.

I happened to catch the rerun of SNL that aired on Valentine's Day and the "musical" guest were the Jonas Brothers. Suffice to say I was kinda shocked when they started singing. Your son is more than right!

"Hi Arik! Thanks for the comment. Yes, I do realize you are continuing to build. You are doing a great job. And if I said I thought of it first, I misspoke. I meant that I thought of it a while ago, have been thinking about building it, and now I'm working on building what I've been thinking about. I also doubt I'm the very first the think of the idea. I just thought of it before I found Topify. But finding you inspired me to start mine. :) Thanks for the inspiration. :D And I'm all about the incremental improvements. That's what I plan to do as well. I worked with your fellow Frenchman, Loic Le Meur, at Seesmic for over a year, and I have adopted his style of building an app by getting a little core out there, and building from there. I think you guys are doing the same thing. Finally, I only bring up Topify because you are getting a lot of press right now. I'm using it, as you pointed out, and the value I get from it is great. A large part of this is an experiment for me as I've..."

"I'm a pro user of Flickr. Partly, because that's where my friends are. My roughly $20 a year gives me huge value. I have about 2,500 pictures there, tagged, grouped, and awesome. I know of nothing free that compares outside of hosting it myself, and that costs a lot more than $20 a year."
- Jeremy Vaught
"Flickr is for pictures. That's what I use it for. I've uploaded a couple of videos, but it's more an afterthought than an intention. But I still post all of my pictures to Flickr. Go with what you know, and Flickr knows photos. Having said that, I also like the clock idea, and am looking to see how things will develop with that tool and the community."

"I'm not Indian, neither dots nor feathers, and I'm no auntie, but I'll sign myself up. I bet I could do it. ;) So do tell Sukhjit. What were you in a commercial for and when was this? And I can understand if you don't want to say you were in a STD commercial or something like that. lol And on that note, why don't YOU play the role of an Indian auntie. A little Hollywood magic to make you look older. You already play the Indian part well."

"My litmus test is simple. I read 2 or three pages of their tweets. If they have even one interesting post that provided me value, I will follow them back. That being said, I also periodically go back through who I am following, and if I can't dm them, they are not following me. If I still value them by name at that point, I continue to follow, otherwise, I drop 'em. What get's me is that some people, I have received probably 3 or 4 emails to follow them, they are clearly following and dropping only later to follow again. Drives me nuts."

"Andrews, Good on 'ya for taking this up. I have done 8 sprint triathlons and also hope to do a couple more this year. One day I want to do an Ironman, but not right now. So as a big guy that has done 8 tris, and a half marathon (first full later this year) you really should take a day off a week. You said yourself you should, and you should. You also said you need to stay healthy for this to work, and those two thing are competing against each other. I'm also a big guy (I ran my 1/2 marathon at 235lbs in 2 hrs. 22 seconds), which means we need to take good care of ourselves or the injuries could be compounded. I solute you for your efforts. I too am revamping my exercise plan. See you (in shape) soon! Jeremy"
