@Lileks Everyone knows the leading source of Chicken is Egg. (Though Chicken may have come first.)

Dithering over whether to buy a MacBook before OSBridge. My WinXP Compaq is Jurassic in computer years.

Just back from Rasmus Lerdorf's talk for the Houston PHP/MySQL user group. Packed meeting room. Went four hours with just one break.

"1958 - John McCarthy and Paul Graham invent LISP. Due to high costs caused by a post-war depletion of the strategic parentheses reserve LISP never becomes popular[1]. In spite of its lack of popularity, LISP (now "Lisp" or sometimes "Arc") remains an influential language in "key algorithmic techniques such as recursion and condescension"[2]." - Kevin Shaum via Bookmarklet

I'm finding the new Friendfeed much more addictive than the old design -- I'm Like-ing and Commenting more than before. Is the new design more approachable? Or is it just that the novelty has my attention for the moment?

From the page: "Literally, as crass as this sounds, we have to have avatars that can serve as backboards to enable players to repeatedly practice actions and calibrate their actions against the response. These avatars need to be consistent, and often have visualizeable inner workings." - Kevin Shaum
