A pocket Moleskine - Kevin Devin

I'm trying vitalist - we'll see what happens - LPH™

Post it notes (recyclable) ... consolidated once a week :) - Charlie Anzman

in bind I use apple's calendar - anna awesomesauce

a good old fashioned notebook. i buy them from barnes and noble so they're a little more special. some of my greatest achievements in life and work are chronicled in these! - Patricia

I have to agree about the notebook. It also keeps you away from the computer, which is a big time sink. - Jason Huebel

@LPH to get things done I prefer a pocket sized moleskine and a g2 pro pen. Seem to use one a year... http://freelanceswitch.com/pro... - "Czar" DJ Peterman

RememberTheMilk and the gmail widget is awesome - jerobins

Google notebook or Evernote - Tim Hoeck

I use Vitalist - Michael Hocter

OmniFocus, my iPod Touch, and Field Notes notebooks. - Cecily

1) Collect technology. 2) .... 3) Profit. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

A text file or paper, whichever is handiest at the time. If it lives too long for the paper/text then it goes into a special TODO list Word doc (could use Google docs) that is nicely organized by project and range of due dates. I've yet to find something that works as well as that combo. Not all projects fit into the little molds provided in software systems, plus you have trouble taking the software with you. I used to take a full sheet of paper and put a day on every line w/ the agenda for that day. - xero

Because parenting is subjective - Lindsey

Totally ignoring your two kids while talking on your cell phone, letting the girl run a shopping cart into whatever and allowing the little boy (in pajamas no less) just sit there and scream at the top of his lungs, is a complete lack of parenting. That isn't subjective. - Alex Scoble CISSP

People are too polite to butt in on people's parenting (or lack of). - Rochelle

I would agree. But to them . . . I'm sure they would disagree. - Lindsey

Because the function required in creating a child has been so degraded by society as either an evil never to be discussed or something treated with reckless abandon that a disconnect has occurred between cause and effect. The ideas of parenting that has been glamorized by all sectors, glosses over the 'work' that is required... and some people are just fuckstains... - Johnny Worthington

" How do you inject personal responsibility as a requirement into the system and not just an ideal?” - guilt - MikeAmundsen

I hate bad parenting! - ♥Brandy Lea Photography♥

But Alex, kids need rich experiences, to be able to explore and imagine. Put boundaries on them too early and you'll stunt them for life ;-) - Logical Extremes

this post could be about wall street brokers - Gregory Lent

I'm sorry but the US is WAY too lax on children. To paraphrase Denis Leary, "my parents beat the shit out of me when I was a kid and I'm looking forward to beating the shit out of my kids". Children need discipline. End of story. Where I grew up, I never heard of kids shooting guns or getting shot. Having a death penalty for gun possession kind of puts a damper on that. - Leather Donut

Alex- you're completely right. My daughter was nearly beaten up by an older kid at the park and his mother could have intervened but she was too busy chatting about her nail polish on her cell. When I talked harshly to him, he seemed shocked- like nobody had ever told him what to do before. His mother never even looked up or over at us. Ridiculous. - Abby Martin

It's not that we wish to put up with it. We're just too polite to say anything. - Morton Fox

the problem is this: how would you propose to make sure parents CAN control their kids? we can't exactly make vasectomies mandatory - gov't would abuse it - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)

I get head shakes and dirty looks when I discipline my kids in public. By 'discipline', I mean "don't run around the sidewalk" or "sit up straight". Happened 3 times today. Told my son to stop standing in the middle of the staircase. Dirty looks. Assholes. - Anika Malone

This all started when people started getting in trouble for whoopin that ass in public, but seriously, your kids should have a certain amount of fear/respect for you as a parent. A lot of kids I see these days do not have this at all and it's only the "parents" fault. Once again, I point to the Dog Whisperer to illustrate the point further :) - ♫ Rahsheen™

Yup, MJC, that is the million dollar question. How do we compel parents to be responsible without resorting to Big Brother Government, which quite frankly doesn't do a good job of parenting kids in its care either? Perhaps we as a nation need to start getting more assertive "excuse me ma'am, but you need to take care of your kids, this is a public place." I should have tried that...but I'm a wuss. - Alex Scoble CISSP

Rah, agreed. Parents want to be friends with their kids, not act as a parent of the kid. - Rochelle

rah, we should make a baby. kids and dogs just want someone to be in charge. If you aren't, they will be. - Secret Squirrel

Agreed, a lack of parenting harms the kids forever, sort of dooms their future. Plus it's rude and annoying to the rest of us. - Mike Reynolds

It's a vicious cycle that I'm not sure can be corrected unless we stop letting bad parents have kids, which is damn near impossible. - ♫ Rahsheen™

Actually, if we could make our schools not suck so bad, that would be a step in the right direction. Seems like those same sucky parents are the ones teaching everyone else's kids too...lol - ♫ Rahsheen™

Unfortunately, the NUMBER ONE contributor to a child's success in school is...PARENT PARTICIPATION! - Alex Scoble CISSP

If people wanting to have children had to undergo the same process as people wanting to adopt, there would be a far fewer cruddy parents and fewer children too. - Kevin Devin

+10,000 Kevin - Alex Scoble CISSP

True, if the parents gave a rat's ass...the schools probably wouldn't be able to get away with sucking so horribly. - ♫ Rahsheen™

I hate bad parenting, too. I'm doing my part by not having children. Don't thank me; it's my civic duty. - MiɳiMagɘ (Sexy Scimitar)

2002. - Trish R

2003 with a Oracle Technology Related Blog - OnDemand Beat

'05 - Mark Forman

Early 2004 - Andru Edwards

i think i got my blog in the end of 07 but it's been within the last 2 months i've done much with it but i've always been writing and have non blog things prior - Cecil Sandus

2004 begin blogging on a BSP. - Chris Qie

2004 - Kevin C. Tofel

December 2007. Late adopter FTW! - possible248

2001? at LJ haha then I went in hiatus from '04ish on for personal reasons... but i'm back! - Mona N.

March 2005, formally. Though I must started something in an ad-hoc fashion back in 2003, as a web design project for a class. http://siansleep.netfirms.com/... - David

My sister and I did this one : http://web.archive.org/web/199... but we didn't call it a blog- - LPH™

I had an online diary sort of site in the mid 90s, inspired by what Justin Hall was doing back then (a pioneer of blogging, great guy), but I abandoned it after a while. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J... - Haven't had a 'real' blog since then. - Vincent X

Vincent: Cool, did you check Wayback to see if it was archived ? - LPH™

2005 - Shey

LPH: Funny you say that, I just did a moment ago, and I got this message... I don't own the domain name anymore, and it seems it's now blocked from being accessed: http://web.archive.org/web/*/h... - Vincent X

depends on what you mean by blogging. i published an HTML e-zine in '93. - Anthony Citrano

2004 - Typepad. - Steve Isaacs

Anthony! Do you have a link? - LPH™

2004 blogspot/blogger - SciFi Ranter Girl

First entry in Livejournal was July 2002. - Morton Fox

January 2006, I think. - Liz

2004 - Warner Crocker

the future. - Jason Kucsma

I'm user # 919 on LiveJournal but technically I muxed accounts. I had a reverse chrono website going back to 97 or so. I had a WordPress blog with many years of content but whacked it due to apathy and boredom after the first punch of traffic. I'm taking Geritol too. - qthrul

I wish that I did. The remainder of it was lost on an old Colorado Tape Backup in the mid-90s. I also ran a FidoNet node BBS from about 87-92. We had some cool newsletters/publications/discussion threads going around back then with each other, but they were ASCII / ANSI not HTML so I don't think they count. (I mean, to be blogging, it has to be the web, right?) So that's why I meant it depends on how we're defining blogging. - Anthony Citrano

but the url of the mag (The Virtual Journal) was http://ixc.net/~threed.html - Anthony Citrano

Also someone at my school (University of Southern Maine) supposedly published the first Bitnet magazine as well but I need to dig up the details. - Anthony Citrano

My first online website that I updated frequently? Probably 1994 - Bwana

Bwana: Very cool - LPH™

Late '96 and they were called 'online journals' back then. I used a homegrown flat file setup and I got ruthlessly made fun of for it (for actually having an online journal; not the flat file setup). Now they're all on Livejournal. Suckas! - Akiva Moskovitz

old ANSI screen from my bbs: http://www.cosmictap.com/image... - Anthony Citrano

2001, when the vanity personal blogs were the in-thing. Anyone remember InternetGossip.net and Survivor Cam? - Louis Ponder via twhirl

2003 - Ian May

some folks that updated their .plan file and were fingered pre-date all of this stuff I'm sure... - qthrul

2002, thought it would be fun to keep a journal of a family trip, it was a reason to stop in every library we could on our journey, - Royce

which system was dot-plan? - Anthony Citrano

Oh, if you want to include .plan and .project, I started in '88. - Akiva Moskovitz

I turned comiclist.com into a "blog" a couple of years ago. ComicList itself has been around since 1995. - Charles LePage

Since July 14, 2002 -- first post. :-) http://kevindevin.com/?p=164 (there's been a couple of migrations and consolidation, so numbering makes no sense, only chronological order.) - Kevin Devin

Had a life story blog between in 04-06, hurt some people I cared about and subsequently purged the whole thing. Tech Blogging since March 2007 - Dan Kaplan

Active on Usenet in the late 1970's, I wrote one of the first Mac BBS systems (Mouse Exchange) in 1984, and then the first Mac Fidonet software (Tabby) in 1985 and got my picture in MacWorld), so I've been talking on some kind of public network forever! - Michael Connick via twhirl

I don't think that quite counts as blogging, though. However, I'm envious; I loved and miss the brief time I had on USENET before it was stormed and by the AOL 'me too' army. - Akiva Moskovitz

Get them all on Twitter. Then they can DM the answer to you. - Morton Fox

Not quite sure the context of "the daily question" but maybe it's something their teacher can make use of to get a little creative with the whole class? - Candace Holly

Good Idea. Principal was worried a kid might not have a phone - so I was going to use teams so at least one kid has phone. . . still working on details - LPH™

Sounds like an interesting experiment. Let us know how it goes. - Helen Sventitsky

The daily question is on the board in the front of the class. All students answer it in their notebooks - but now I can liven it up. - LPH™

What about the ones without cell phones or who pay per text? - xero

Now that I know..that's a great idea. good way to liven things up. Teams isn't a bad idea either if you might not mind a possibly hectic first 10 minutes. Getting young ones to take advantage of the way things are moving today is always a good thing. - Candace Holly

Xero: this is why a team is going to be used - LPH™

Not to be confused with The Book of Big Breasts - Michael Markman

I'm going to "like" this no matter how many times it is posted. - David Worrell

This certainly beats the Eddie Murphy head from a couple weeks back! - Kevin Devin

Giggle. Glad it's illustrated, would be a letdown otherwise. - Eric Thompson

what the hell, this is my second "like." I'm not gonna let the boys monopolize the boob love. :) - Anna Haro

At the end of the book they also show an appendix - Alan Cheslow

Odd-I hated milk as a kid... I while not a Democrat do love their mascot. - Mark Forman

Is mrsth gonna get this for you this xmas? - Justin Korn

I saw this book when edythe posted it earlier today and definitely want it. - Thomas Hawk

thread theft is a federal offence. We'll let it slide in this case. - Eric Schlissel via twhirl

Nowthat's a coffee table book. - Larry Kless via twhirl

@Edythe --do THOSE belong to you?????!!!!! - Anna Haro

@Anna: +1 for Giving Tree Shel Silverstein icon.... - Chris Reed

Seriously, this thread is going to be longer than The Odyssey. - Anna Haro

So.... it's a fine art book about boobs... I love photography... and I certainly love boobs... umm... This has to be a trap. - Johnny Worthington

Ha! http://img224.imageshack.us/im... - Vincent X

now another Taschen lover... hmmm ;) - silpol

I'm shocked a book about boobs is actually still in stock. - Outsanity

Wow!! Two thing I love r together, photography and boobs!! (though what a sexist comment :)) - Arjun via twhirl

my wife wanted this book, so I bought it for her this past Christmas. - C. K. Sample III via twhirl

Nothing sexist about loving boobs. It's one of the great marvels of nature. - Vincent X

Vincent, you're so right about that :D - Outsanity

See? Friendfeed is for men :D - faylwy via NoiseRiver

MenFeed? I wanted to say BoobFeed but that's too over the top - Outsanity

Those evil IT guys... - Jack Daniel

You could set up a ssh tunnel and redirect all http traffic to a local socks proxy... I did this when I worked for AT&T and could get to anything I wanted and all traffic was encrypted from my desktop to my remote box running sshd. - Michael Buckingham
