California Pizza Kitchen's Original Chopped Salad: Romaine, salami, turkey, tomato and fresh basil leaves, all chopped fairly fine and tossed with vinaigrette. You use the basil leaves as another green, so the pieces stay pretty big. Yum!

Great point - here are all these services trying to imitate the very features that they used to complain about - and that they said were the reasons FF couldn't survive alone - the reasons FB had to come along and buy us.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Sarah Lane used to do that, but now she's on FB and she seems to connect more with people.
- Mol, Time Warping
I think where you will connect will depend on where most of the people you want to connect with are. That's why I spend time on FB. Because a great deal of my friends and personal acquaintances are there. But I also really like FF. But FF is a different type of service.
- Sarah June
Nothing wrong with FB. It's a great place to connect with our real friends/family.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Exactly Mary! And I think that the people I connect with there wouldn't enjoy FF because it would be overwhelming.
- Sarah June
But what a surprise last week when I was using FF to say things my family couldn't hear, when my mother was dying, and then the boyz started piping my FF onto FB! I had to do some fast resetting before thw wrong things got in front of the wrong eyes!

Oddly enough tis was when I launched Soundflower to see how to configure it on the Mac - I know you're a bit new to your mini

It's Louis - I'd definitely go to FF. There's also this nifty thing called SMS for real emergencies. That's how I reach my brother.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
A ton. I can't tell you how great FF was the last two weeks - maybe the hardest two weeks of my life in a lot of ways, and the FFers were HErE.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
BTW, it was a lot of you guys on this chat who were there with me. Thank you all for your kind thoughts and letting me rant when I needed to.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
but people are arriving as well... no?

And i'm also under the impression - because he said so in so many words - that we're Paul B's personal feature-development playground if he chooses.

Not even 'not like it'... it's more 'don't feel the need to keep up with the Jones and use it because I would be missing out or be uncool'. I could make it work, but it's just meh

Weird. Although it's common for Americans (incl. me) to assume that their things are everywhere, I actually assumed donuts *weren't* anywhere but in the US and Canada.
- Spidra Webster
Spidra: "Mr. Donut" is a very popular donut chain in Japan.
- Christopher A Carr
Yeah, I don't know why I assumed that. I suppose because I've never seen them on my all too few trips to Europe. But when you have Scandinavian, French & Central European pastries, who needs donuts?
- Spidra Webster
The pink ones at the bottom look epically delicious.
- Danny Minick
Now I'm imagining the Lucky Charms leprechaun singing "They're epically delicious!"
- Spidra Webster
The choc jam ones are my favourite, a donut sundae is a good choice too.

i dont see any decision, just one option, get them all, ;)
- chaz2b
If that were a Dunkin Donuts, I'd suggest the double chocolate and Boston cream, but since it isn't, I don't know how the cream tastes. If it tastes more like a custard pudding, go for it, but if it tastes like the ones from Krispy Kreme or more like frosting, skip it.
- April Russo (app103)
April, those are my favorites as well. The Boston Creme isn't really creme but pastry custard (which I prefer)
- Melanie Reed
The yeast donuts are best usually when hot. Depending on when they remove them from the vat, they could taste fantastic (warm) or really greasy. Safer bet is to get the cake donuts if not just made as April suggests. But if just made, any glazed yeast. P.S. I used to work for Dunkin Donuts years ago) ;)
- Melanie Reed
I used to work at one too. The double chocolate is best if it's glazed before it is frosted, which is something not every store does. (if they don't, they get stale tasting too fast)
- April Russo (app103)
:) You'll have to give our local store a'talkin to. Sounds like a good idea.

I'll take a chocolate covered my butt is too big for these pants with sprinkles on top, please.

Is any business or person in the San Fransisco area in need of a jolly, bearded Australian to come and do something for them and would be willing to pay the airfares... I think I know of someone who can help you...
I get the distinct feeling that some bloggers barely read beyond the headlines... Google Wave wasn't email, Twitter or a social media tool... ChromeOS doesn't appear to try and be Windows or Mac or even Linux. The tendency to burn with fire what one doesn't understand is getting old
Bah, just like Apple masturbation has gotten old? Plenty of people understand it and still don't like it.
- Mo Kargas
Mo, yes, apple masturbation has gotten old. I don't love everything Apple does, and I try and justify in my head the pros and cons of each one that i do love... In regards to the people who understand it and don't like it, that's super... but I wasn't talking about them... 'Some bloggers'
- Johnny Worthington
loving chromeOS, it's just what a non techy OS should be. Maybe 60% of people just want to look at a few web pages and do email. Windows, OSX and Linux are all overkill legacy products. Will be interesting to see what apple produces for the tablet OS ?
- Adrian
I am just being a sook... You usually like tweets that mention @louisgray... You missed mine on the last batch :P
- Johnny Worthington
I understand your commentary, Mr. Worthington. When I do that it lets folks know I am paying attention. During high traffic self-referential virality, I am more selective. (nose in the air) *POKE*

I prefer to not take said bait at this moment in time.

Chrome OS: Dear Mom, here's a cheap laptop.... All the apps are there... All your info is backed up... Any troubles just click restore, no need to call me...
I am trying to not over think it. Sounds like they are making an OS that isn't designed for me.
- Johnny Worthington
But now that I think about it... it's designed PERFECTLY for me. Besides my photo stuff and audio editing, I spend 90% of my time in Chrome. I have a hackintosh netbook but all I use it for is Safari...

OK, I have a Nikon D80 with a 50mm f1.8. My pictures are OK but not as sharp as I would like. Is it worth me dropping coin on something like a 50mm f1.4 or is it just the D80...
Hmmm, just off the top of my head, unless the D80 is unsharp with other lenses, I think it might be the 50mm. But I've heard that the 1.8 is sharper wide open than the 1.4 (but don't quote me on that). Perhaps check DPReview forums on Nikon lenses to see other people's experiences re: 1.8 v. 1.4?

Did you check for front/back focus? Any other lenses you can test the body with?
- ronin
It's both. I love my 50mm f1.4... it is just amazing!!! Basically either upgrade will improve things, it just depends where you want to spend the money and when.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Ronin, I'll check it out. Rachael, I think I'll rent a 1.4 and try it

Another great site that has great user reviews - with many pro photographers participating is http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews... - almost all available Canon and Nikon lenses + camera bodies are covered, rated, and long comment posts of what they are good for, pros and cons etc
- See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

I agree with Russellreno...spend the good money on lenses. Update your camera when you NEED to. Sharpness typically comes from the lens (and the photog), however, that is not to say the camera has no affect.
- Justin Korn
I don't think it's worth the upgrade. I've had the 50 1.8, 35 1.8, and now use the 50 1.4 (never at the same time). I've taken sharp and soft photos with all of them. Wide open you've got 2 things working against you: 1) the lenses aren't sharpest wide open, they all do better around f/2.8 and best around f/4 and 2) wide open the DOF is crazy small, especially for the 1.4, so you need...

@Scobleizer I'm interested in how things like Youtube and other Google properties will be handled. Seems like a chance to put deep hooks in
While I appreciate your desire to use the new self service checkout, 1 & 2/3 trollys worth probably isn't the best quantity to attempt your first go. #engagethebrain#johnnyscrankytoday
