Merry Eggnog! ... and jeez, what's with the rude comments? It's the holidays. #relax
- Mona Nomura
I think everyone knew exactly what you meant jeremy :)
- Roberto Bonini
Jeremy, perhaps there's a misunderstanding. As a rule, FriendFeeders celebrate Festivus - maybe someone mistook this thread for the Airing of the Grievences ceremony. In any event, I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!

Just showed these to my missus who's been going to yoga for years. Her responses: "can't do that... can't do that... my legs don't do that... can't do that... no idea what that is... can't do that..." Damn.

@Leo: That's what I was getting at... :) Trying to figure out whether airline was still in existence, or if it is no longer around, when it went out of business. :)

One of the latest comments from her Profile "Hey RDS, hows that hooked on phonics coming along? Clearly not working, inquire about a refund."
- Jimminy
Duuuuuude how in the world did you find this Jimminy?!
- Mona Nomura
Mona, search was working pretty well at the time, can't remember what I was looking for though. Edit: I searched for "pussy comments:jimminy" trying to find a post from a week or two ago where I posted "P is for pussy, that's good enough for me." Didn't find it though. Embarrassed.

ゴルゴ13以外にも日本のアニメは数多く英訳されていますね!そういえば日本の洋書コーナーにも英訳マンガはズラッと並んでいます。

I just watched Nausicaa again tonight! Last time I saw it was back in the 80's on the big screen. I was auditioning the movie for my 6 year old daughter. I think she will greatly enjoy it. :D
- Adrian
It's really hard to choose. I can say Spirited Away but then Totoro and Ponyo will be sad (: So I can say Spirited Away, Totoro and Ponyo (:
- Ezgi Akyurt
@Anıl Tortop >No, nothing....... However, it is surprised by the popularity of anime, Miyazaki amazing. And many people just want to share......^_^
- keiko-san

Dear FriendFeed Team, now that Facebook has enabled the option to download your profile (http://facebook.com/download) it should would be fantastic to do the same here.
The content I have shared on FriendFeed (especially photos, etc.) is more valuable than any other network. To find a way to accomplish this would be great.
- Louis Gray
Since Louis has said this, it must happen, dig?
- Mo Kargas
Do these third party tools download linked assets as well?
- Mo Kargas
Nathan, have you looked at your backupify data? Mine was completely useless, when I checked it after a week.
- Jimminy
Mo, I can only ask politely. I carry no special power or impact, sir.
- Louis Gray
I'm trying Spidra's link and it works! It first gives you a dump of .xml files of your posts and posts you liked or commented on. Then creates folders with the post title as the foldername with all the photos from that post. To get it working, I had to modify the batch file to find the correct path to my java.exe.
- Rodfather
Jimminy - XML of my feed... works for me.
- Nathan Chase
This is one of my favorite books by Diana Wynne Jones. The movie is very different from the book, though once I got used to the differences I enjoyed it too.
- Katy S
This is the first one of his films I saw, and I almost refused to see any of the others because I thought it was kind of dumb and bizarre all at once. Jer convinced me that Spirited Away was watchable, though, and I really enjoyed that one.
- Jenthemum
hello!....I learned again that there is a Miyazaki Anime popularity overseas. Please also view it in other works.
- keiko-san
Whenever somebody wants me to advise an animation film, i say "Ofcourse Miyazaki"! (And Ghibli Animations) Nobody said "I don’t like".. He is amazing!

Looks like on the fly OCR, properly parsed into contact data. That is win.
- EricaJoy
Richard, it's one possible use of the new Google Goggles product http://www.techcrunch.com/2009.... It recognize the text on visit cards and makes it useful. That's a pretty convincing application of Google's mission IMO.
- Jérôme
I was just thinking how much I would like smartphone OCR.

If you have this installed on your Android phone, for fun go to Amazon and start taking pictures of book covers. Its nuts!
- EricaJoy
Another reason to get an androphone soon, very soon ;-)
- stanjourdan
Erica, the existing Amazon Android app does book covers. And so does the standalone app SnapTell. =)
- Andrew C (✓)
Just DL'ed from Android Market. Doesn't work all the time but very cool!
- Mike Reynolds
Took a picture of a bag of potato chips and got some demon wicca sex blogs. But then took a picture of a coffee table art book that's just a figurative painting on cover and it correctly identified it as a Julian Schnabel book. Definitely entertaining but definitely labs level results.
- Hayes Haugen
Can't see it in the [Canadian] Market. Does it work with Android 1.5?
- Andrew C (✓)
Nope, 1.6 and newer. Turning into a trend.
- Hayes Haugen
Then Rogers *really* needs to get off their asses and release the 1.6 update.
- Andrew C (✓)
Ahhhh.so it's for people with crappy input devices ;-). One day will people have forgotten how to type. It's a good idea. We'll see when they make it available to all platforms.
- Richard A.
If a device hasn't been updated to 1.6 already I don't think it's likely it ever will be. Everyone has their hands full with 2.0.1.
- Hayes Haugen
Ergh, maybe I'll just root the phone then. =P

There is an app called CardReader for the iPhone (3GS or better) that can scan a business card, send it to a server to OCR it, then import that info into a new contact. It works pretty good on standard looking cards, but fails when the cards have a busy background or such.

"The traditional katana swords may be plastic and the slaughter imaginary, but as The Times discovered, when it joined a session, the sweat and fury of battle is real and exhausting. There is a sense that every grimaced slash is meant for someone — a deadweight boyfriend, perhaps, or an intolerable boss. The drum-and-bass score intensifies the rage."
- edythe
from Bookmarklet
why does the (male) writer sense that "every grimaced slash" is about someone?
- edythe
i'll have to ask my wife. she has a real katana. i don't understand this cos she's Chinese and not Japanese. then again, maybe she just likes sharp objects. 0_o
- Joe Silence
sigh. i feel like the writer is laughing at them.
- edythe
This one time, at samurai camp, I stuck a katana in my... oh wait, wrong movie.

"One of the stranger aspects of the class is that its devotees are entirely women. Despite being open to both sexes, the male heirs to Japan’s bushido warrior tradition cannot handle the pace. “When the class started, it was all men coming to symbolically cut the fat from around their middles,” said Mr Takafuji, “but they weren’t like real samurai, and quit. The women stick to it. They are Japan’s modern samurai.”"
- RAPatton
@edythe: i get that feeling as well. :|

I have a bokken. I'd like to learn how to use it.
