Ross and Dan made this video to illustrate the advanced technology we use behind the scenes at FriendFeed. (Ross and Dan, you are amazing - I can't believe how awesome this thing turned out)

How very creative. This is very fluid and cool.

OK, not exactly what I was expecting, but very cool.

Anyone have the video somewhere other than Youtube? it's banned here in Turkey and I can't wait until we get home (next month) to watch it!!

According to Ross, they used about 1030 individual pictures in the final version. Stop motion is a lot of work :)

That's priceless. Great job, guys.

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!
- John W Lewis
Great project!
- Anne Bouey
AWESOME!

I think they need to make a full stop-motion version of the Matrix in legos. Now THAT would be awesome. I wonder what bullet-time looks like in LEGO?

I made a small journey through FF-sphere. Just to see what other people did theme-wise. Whether they had wanted to be original or liked it more the way it was. So I jumped from 1 account to another by going to the 1st person that had liked or commented on an entry. Does it say anything? Do you have a theme that's especially YOU?

No, I probably made a mistake here. FFundercats is not an open account. It should be another one with green toy thingies.

I hate custom themes. Seriously i do. It's *never* better than the original design.
- Nik
Luckily Nik, FF allows you to turn them off so you never have to see any custom themes.
- FFing Enigma
I love them, Nik, because that's the way you can add a personal touch to the design that's all ready-made. They don't have to be beautiful to me, as long as they say something about the person who is using it.
- Ton Zijp
Mike, I'm in wilmington, topsail is cool and all, but the beaches are almost floridian when you get down to the lower half of cape fear... (figure 8, a gated community barrier island then wrightsville, then masonboro a National Estuarine Research Reserve, and then carolina beach/pleasure island and then bald head island with the frying pan shoals just off it's tip...) Next time you're in the area throw up the bat signal!

I just have a basic custom that reflects my "personality"

@chris i need something called 'time' never seem to have any... I've been to wrightsville beach - but there are many more beaches I would like to visit. one of these days.

Ton Zijp - The theme definitely fits the group's content. :-D

John, you're making me the happiest person in the world. A weird world, that is, but still a world. :-)

I mimic my Twitter account theme. Pity you don't see the theme if you aren't a FF member :-\

If I ever meet the person who wrote eclipse's caching code, I will tie them up and torture them
Kelly Norton liked this
One thing I like about IntelliJ is you almost never have to hit "Refresh", you touch a file on disk, even if done outside via say, vi or emacs, and it'll notice right away. Whereas with Eclipse, I'd ran into weird issues sometimes where no amount of 'Refresh' will make it show the updated contents, and I have to restart or reimport.

From Scott Adams: "I drew two comics while considering my options. In the end, I thought it wasn't worth the extra friction to push them to the front of the line. And it would be June 18th before they ran in their normal position, which seemed too far in the future. So here now, exclusively for you blog readers, the totally unfinished first drafts of those comics. You will never see these in newspapers."

Drunk Wally is awesome.

My favorite quote from the blog post: "I don't think any of us will ever know what really happened. I based the comic on the media's speculation of events. Remember that I'm in the parody business and not the truth business."
- Bruce Lewis

Bugatti Veyron operating costs so expensive, it's cheaper to use a private jet? - http://www.autoblog.com/2010...
Kelly Norton, WooEB, Zu from AOD and 12 other people liked this
"There are frightening bills, horrific bills, and Bugatti Veyron bills. The legendarily expensive to buy, it seems that the Veyron is equally expensive to keep running, with some pegging yearly running costs at $300,000. It's so expensive, in fact, that Autocar says there's an owner who trailers his car to a particular driving route, then follows behind in a private jet."

:O 2500 miles on a set a of tires, Well thats that I am canceling my order!
- Tony C (Unrated)
Peng: what's wrong?
- Gabe
Maybe the fact that the new fastest production car has only 8 cylinders and 6.3 liters, while the Veyron has 16 cylinders and 8 liters?
- Robert Felty
Or maybe it's that the fastest car has almost 20% more hp, less weight (.42 power-to-weight ratio vs. Veyron's .24), and only rear-wheel-drive (for less parasitic driveline loss than the Veyron's AWD), yet it only manages 4 mph faster than the Veyron?
- Gabe
how much was Friendfeed to operate? ... how much operating costs now to work in new features ??? : .... Volkswagen Bugatti Veyron, the fastest social in the world, runs out of fuel after 12 minutes of honest drive
- pb:
@AJ the case of driver jetting behind trailed VW Veyron - why not to attach a fly trailer behind the jet, and air-tow the car in it? it might be cheaper still ... note:Veyron will not fly on it's own. - as opposed to Friendfeed, who did, at least for a time, that is: ... and a footnote - i do not believe it was a conspiracy to sell Friendfeed to Facebook:
- pb:
Sorry Petr, but you really lost me there.
- AJ Batac :)
how bad is it? :]]]]]] .......
- pb:
many a guy the best web programmers outthere, who wont overcharge their customers, got lost thinking about buying Veyron ! ... not all of us on Friendfeed can buy Veyron right away, and not all of us can buy Friendfeed either. .... but one thing i do want to project - a Mr. who bought Friendfeed, does not have a Veyron ..... but yes, he could/
