Swollen Ankles: Now with extra bruising! (Ignore the nail polish. It is purely preventative hiking nail care) http://t.co/8u2NJo28gq
Swollen Ankles: Now with extra bruising! (Ignore the nail polish. It is purely preventative hiking nail care) http://t.co/8u2NJo28gq
You know what's not fun? Swollen ankles.
Uncomfortable. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Ouch! - Xabaras (G.O.)
That's pregnancy for you. - Eivind from Android
Still not fun - Johnny from iPhone
:( Sorry. You've been training so hard for this. Rest up when you can. - Tamara J.
Elevate and circualte! - Headless Gnad Kicker

Yep. I thought women were being weird when they complained about cankles...until I got them. Yuck. - Bubba was a rollin stone
Stick them in a hot bath - Mo Kargas
I remember reports from 2005 that said that Microsoft lost about $125 per Xbox 360 unit sold. They made their cash through XBL and payments from developers. With that as context, Microsoft's move to make you buy all new content isn't that surprising.
Consumers don't have to accept this situation. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Consoles get cheaper to make over time, though. Sony and MS have always lost money at each launch. - Andrew C (✓) from Android
That's pretty much been how every console has been done, they're loss leaders and make up for it on the cut on the game. It's a razor-blade business. And like Andrew said, the tech gets cheaper over time. - Jimminy IS Everybody
Alex, no they don't... but they also can't be "OMGWTFBBQ HOW IS THIS HAPPENING???!??!?1?" - Johnny
Well, they can, it just won't gain them much traction unless it is a significant percentage of them. - Jennifer Dittrich
Actually, it would be a big push on Microsoft if a lot of prospective One buyers were vocal like that. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
MS already had a soft version of backwards compatibility complaints last launch and they ended up fine, though. - Andrew C (✓) from Android
I think I played my old Xbox games for about 3 months when I got an Xbox 360. My nephews will get my old Xbox 360 games when I finally upgrade. It would be interesting if the XBLA games now function like apps, in so much that they current versions won't be compatible but if developers 'update them', you can re download them etc
Yep, I'm not so much concerned with backwards compatibility of DVD based games, but I think it would be a very good thing to provide for backwards compatibility for online purchased games. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Flickr just gave me wood
Ash or Mahogany? - Spidra Webster
Oak - Johnny
Knotty pine? - c.a.j.
caj is a Knotty boy! - Janet:#TeamMonique
Pinus rigida. - John (bird whisperer)
Does it burn for more than four hours? - c.a.j.
If it does, consult your doctor. - Spidra Webster
i don't like the new photostream. also, where do i change the size? and the captions get cut off. - Joe Silence
When Facebook bought FriendFeed, I freaked out a little but the way some people are reacting to Yahoo buying Tumblr IS LIKE FUCKING WOAH
I haven't quite understood that myself...I mean Yahoo is different under the new CEO so I don't understand the fear - Sir Shuping is just sir
I think that's it. Wild hysteria > Facts - Johnny from iPhone
I think it's also sad just how much people are dredging up Geocities and Flickr as examples of how poorly Yahoo! handles its acquisitions. Yahoo! bought Geocities to basically kill it as Yahoo! Site Builder competition, and instead rolled them together for over a decade. Flickr, while it certainly stopped innovating, is still around and is still pretty well-regarded. ETA - Overall, I think Yahoo!'s major acquisitions have fared at least as well as many of Google's major acquisitions. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
It reminds me more of the reaction you saw when LiveJournal was changing hands. You would have thought the apocalypse was nigh. (In this case, it seems to at least partially be related to the relative youth of many Tumblr users, many of whom haven't had their favorite service get bought out yet.) - Jennifer Dittrich
And, of course, 10 minutes after I say Flickr hasn't seen any innovation, I find out they've unveiled a gorgeous new layout and are giving users 1TB of photo storage for free, now. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
GEE, do the established users get that or just the new ones? *grumble* - Joe Silence
Everyone that's a member of Flickr gets 1TB of space, effective immediately. New users and established users. Don't know what they'll do about users that already paid for premium memberships, though - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I had heard that Meyer was going to let Flickr finally implement the upgrade they been wanting when she took over, nice to see it was true. - Sir Shuping is just sir

My legs just reminded me of the lesson I'd forgotten from Beta 1 a month ago: 2 days after a training hike hurts MUCH more than 1 day #OTWB

Yesterday's 30.62 km hike. #OTWB http://rnkpr.com/a30pbig
Yesterday's 30.62 km hike. #OTWB http://rnkpr.com/a30pbig
Worked out yesterday that I have the shortest stride of the team so I'll be taking more steps and/or be slower (especially on climbs) #OTWB
I have made peace with the fact that I will be slow on hills, walk at the back and often fall behind. I have a hirer level of general fitness than I expected but it's a physical limitation. Plus, the lads get 2 - 3 minute breaks at the top of each hill while I catch up :) - Johnny from iPhone
I would simply install some phone-triggered actuated thumb tacks in your team members shoes - Mo Kargas
^ LOL - Spidra Webster
Probably not the best for team building... Given I got us lost yesterday, I'm on shakey ground as it is ;) - Johnny from iPhone
You can tell them I did it. What are they gonna do? Hike me to death? - Mo Kargas
If I *must* be diplomatic though, they should be moderating their pace to accomodate you if it's a team building exercise rather than a speed exercise. No man left behind and all that - Mo Kargas
They're certainly not leaving me behind by any stretch. I'm only at best 2 or 3 minutes behind and given that I usually climb with music, it often is a solitary endeavour for those 20 minute hills. We all climb at different rates and given how personal climbing is, I wouldn't want to make any of them alter their technique for me. Sometimes climbing slower hurts more than regular. I had... more... - Johnny from iPhone
Definitely. From what I know of Tour de France, it's the same thing with teams there. The lead will be picked on different terrain according to their various strengths and weaknesses. But they're still a team. - Spidra Webster
Eh, I disagree. I've been hiking, two or three minutes can mean the difference between an injured and lost teammate and some buddies nearby ready to help. They should be all together. If I was hiking with Johnny I'd be doing his speed, regardless of whether I could go faster or not. The Tour is after all a race, where such strengths have a purpose. - Mo Kargas
This only really applies on climbs. And it's not like I'm by myself. We tend to stretch out into a long line so if something did happen, I never lose sight of the guy in front. We also have a safety word if we need to rest etc. I'm never left behind, just we each climb at our own pace. Over 32 hours, there will be times when I walk faster than the other boys but we do clump pretty right... more... - Johnny from iPhone
Fair enough. Most of my hikes have been in heavily forested areas where injuries are common and you often can't see the guy in front. - Mo Kargas
You might have noticed that yesterday while I was out in front on ascents, I was well behind on descents, and right beside you on flats and undulating track with Nick and Dylan usually leading in these circumstances. When in front on climbs I always stay within line-of-sight, and since there's just as many descents as ascents I'm behind just as much as I'm in front. Given that we have to check in as a team there's no benefit of getting too far in front. - Benny Bucko <Team Melly>
Exactly. We go at a speed comfortable to ourselves for each technique but we progress from each "feature" as a pack. Just ticking off the mental readiness boxes :) - Johnny from iPhone
Here's the thing. Slept like crap on Saturday night, hiked 30+ km over 8 hours yesterday, fell asleep at 10pm, woke up at 1:30am, now 4:20am and still can't sleep. WTF is up with that?????
Cortisol out of whack? - Janet:#TeamMonique

Sleep is unproductive and a waste of time. - Louis Gray

4:20 man... - Hookuh Tinypants
you can always count on louis! - Marie
That sh*t is wack, yo. - Benny Bucko <Team Melly>
The truth be told, I'd be OK if they just told me "We don't know". I'd rather have acknowledged doubt than getting the SAME non-answer again
Him: "We ordered it and expect it tomorrow" Me: "I was told that LAST Monday" Him: "Oh, well now we did order it and we expect it tomorrow"
My anger level is at a point of shatter - Johnny from iPhone
Set phasers on disintegrate. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
My "Tiny Rage" has now been upgraded to "Medium To High Rage"#CustomerDisservice
After that discussion with the mobile coffee lady, that now takes the number of "100km hike?? Shit, that's a long way" reactions to 14!

Recovery is actually when you get stronger. - Brian Johns
How fast are you going? Do I have time to fly over North by Northwest style with my biplane? - Mo Kargas
Yes! - Johnny from iPhone
Not hating on Glass this time but I have seen some videos shot with it and it's shakey-camtastic.
The rollercoaster one was pretty smooth (considering they're on a rollercoaster). http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jimminy IS Everybody
I've seen both - I'm guessing that's going to depend on whether someone's in a fixed position (seated and strapped in) or moving around, and how steady they are overall. The first generation of stuff might be pretty uneven, quality wise. - Jennifer Dittrich
There are some really cool video stabilization algorithms out there. - Brian Johns
If you have a camera attached to your head, and the head moves, that's what happens. :) - Louis Gray
Take a look at this one from today, Johnny. https://plus.google.com/1005353... While I filmed this, I was also pitching to Braden, twice. Is this in the range of what you're seeing? Better? Worse? - Louis Gray
My decision to wear only shorts and sport shirt seemed foolish at 6am. Now as I sit here at 8:30am in the blazing sun, I'm vindicated! #OTWB
Bush's Comedown still rocks.
