This was one of my profile pics on Facebook sometime ago :) - Hayk
Yes, that is the "Indian elephant bathing pool" of the Jungle Cruise. Not sure if it's Disneyland or Walt Disney World. I'm very familiar with the WDW experience because I worked as a college intern on the Jungle Cruise there 19 years ago. - Mike Reynolds
@Mike It's gotta be WDW, b/c I recognized it right away and I've never been to Disneyland. - Chris Rivait
I worked at the Jungle Cruise in Disneyland right after High School. Drove the boat, Shot the gun. Told the bad jokes. Not easy, livin' la vida jungle. - Steve Isaacs
Never been on the Jungle Cruise. Wanted to when I went to Disneyland, but it was closed. Bastardos. - ::Kristen::
Steve Isaacs: What was the spiel? "Repeat after me: I promise (beat) I'll never" (beat) return." - Jay Tannenbaum
very cute!! - Susan Beebe
This elephant is laughing his ass off because his buddies have to use the public pool whereas this one has the waterfall all to himself! - imabonehead
The elephant = me and the waterfall = diet coke. Now you know me. - Josh Haley

I'm gonna have a bad ass stair case in my house one day which turns into a slide at the press of a button when you're going down... - Zee from WeDoCreative via Bookmarklet
These examples map poorly to my drinking habits. - Jay Tannenbaum
tell me about it Jay - imagine trying to walk up the middle ones eh... - Zee from WeDoCreative
I once had a loft with a cast iron spiral. I barely survived. - Jay Tannenbaum
Lol...I had an awesome apartment in the heart of Soho in London - as awesome as it was, it was on the top floor, no lift and about for landing between ground floor and the apartment. The number of times my neighbours woke me up in the morning as they walked down the staircase finding me on the 3rd landing is embarassing. - Zee from WeDoCreative
I've seen the laretto staircase in person, it's really incredible - anna awesomesauce
That is crazy! I love the second one.. even though.. it would be hard to run up - Kyle Lacy
One of the best posts I've ever seen. - Akiva Moskovitz

OMG! I love it! I have a preoccupation with stairway walks. this is too much for me! *swoon* (and everyone makes fun of me too) - Anna Lynn M.
I love them! They immediately remind me of a staircase/library featured on one of the home restoration shows on TV. Article in Apartment Therapy here http://twurl.nl/qedgfa - Allison Kipta
somehow i just can't stop stairing... - Cecil Sandus
Stair porn? Zee, you are wonderful. (And Cecil you beat me to the joke!) - Abby Martin
no no, i can't take credit - i believe it was the posts name. I gotta say though - I had NO idea there were so many stair junkies on friendfeed! - Zee from WeDoCreative

reminds me of the Hypercolor shirts! - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
That's awesome - Kyle Lacy
Ditto the Hypercolor shirts. Having flashbacks to jr. high and girls with handprints in all the wrong places. Doh! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
My hypercolor shirt was pink and purple. :-) - Marci Maleski
i still have my hypercolor jammies from '86 and it still changes colors! - Anika Malone
Ye gods! Generra still exists... I guess the 80s are still happening, probably in central Asia? http://www.generra.com - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
And they're still making hypercolor shirts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H... - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
chuck come to my east-ish LA hood and you'll see the early 80s are alive and well. all the kids look like rejects from fast times at ridgemont high - Anika Malone
@faboo_mama come to think of it, I saw hairdryers on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart. I guess I should buy some plaid pants and get it over with. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
omigosh! I had 2 hypercolor shirts... been years since I thought about those! - Lindsay Donaghe
chuck, your comment reminded of lady in front of us at target the other day. she bought that huge tube of electric blue hair gel and like 5 cans of aquanet. i had a flashback to the cholas of my youth. - Anika Malone
so if it's cold it's cloudy perfect like garbage says "i'm only happy when it rains" then again i live in oregon so it behooves me to be that way - Cecil Sandus
Meh. In Pittsburgh, it's not the kids rockin' the 80s. It's the people of my generation who were in high school during the 80s who have never moved on. There's a woman on my bus in the morning that has crispy, permed and highlighted mall hair like you wouldn't believe. - Marci Maleski
Where I it's it's both the kids and the classes of 85-89 that are rockin' the 80s look. It's like some weird rift in time. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
All right, I need a pink paisley sweatshirt, a pair of soft gray baggy pants that I can cuff demurely above the ankle, and a pair of round tortoiseshell Oliver Peoples eyeglasses. And maybe some suspenders? And a Swatch! - Chuck LeDuc Díaz
@marci I had the pink and purple one too. hypercolor flashback! - Carmen

I love my legacy DirecTV Tivo. I'd use it more if it were HD. The clone products just don't compare - Rick Bucich via twhirl
I am curious can you think of another company that created something this groundbreaking and then failed to profit from it. I heard on NPR this morning thye have less than 7% of the market thanks to cable companies giving the machines away free. - Ruth Ferguson
the problem is that cable companies make it so easy to just deal with the crappy boxes they provide for less than 10$ a month, as opposed to using tivo and getting a cable card installed. I have time warner though, and they recently "updated" their boxes with a slower interface that feels like syrup. the show names actually disappear as you scroll through the guide - Kyle A Koch
AT&T required me to purchase their TV service which includes a DVR in order to get their UVerse fiber internet service. I think it's going to be harder and harder for TiVo to compete when AT&T and others pursue practices like this. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas Hawk: That sounds like an anti-trust case in the making. - xero

"We just launched a new set of customizable FriendFeed widgets for spicing up your blog or web site. There are several ways to embed FriendFeed, and you can pick as many of them as you want." - Paul Buchheit
Woot! - Kemal Yaylali
Find your embed widgets here: http://friendfeed.com/embed - Bret Taylor
where's the HTML only one like Twitter?? Don't want your widget. - Mark Bean
YAY yayayay!!! - Edited to add: thx for linking to the CSS too, will make integration easier. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
it was necessary to develope these widgets. but as Mark said, there must be tidy versions. I want to use in my blog with my css. - Mücahit Yılmaz
Mark: the CSS is completely documented, so it should be easy to customize: http://friendfeed.com/embed/cs... - Bret Taylor
You can use your own css, the details are here http://friendfeed.com/embed/cs... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Doh, dup post with Bret. Bret wins, obviously ;) - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Thanks for more options but still JS only. :( The likelihood of any site I don't maintain allowing me to use JS is slim to non. Please add 1 flash widget? Pretty please? With sugar on top? - Erica Baker
FWIW, in http://pastebin.ca/1186734 I've put my FriendFeed badge setup. Stolen elsewhere, I forgot where, thanks to the original author. Hope it helps. - Cesar Cardoso
For those that are using the feed widget, note that you can change num=x in case the defaults of 1,5, or 10 aren't what you want. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
me again - it seems not to be picking up my default CSS values like the other widgets - it still insists on showing up as a white background black text. See http://pflix.com for example. - Mark Bean
It is live on my site now. http://www.louisgray.com/ - Louis Gray
http://benjamingolub.com to see the badge in action :) - Benjamin Golub
Mark, the white is div class = friendfeed widget and needs to have the background overridden, it's set to white (obviously). The classes in the nested divs below it should inherit the new BG color. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
See bookmarklet in action: http://kemal.bioeng-network.or... and badge in about page: http://kemal.bioeng-network.or... - Kemal Yaylali
Live on mine http://www.isthisstupid.com but currently unstyled. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Would be a nice option to have one without Javascript - richrecruiter
Paul, Bret and Team - you guys really rock my day! nice work!! keeeep it up!! woo hoo! - Susan Beebe
thanks Brett. I added to my blog - Photo Larry via twhirl
Where is the Flash and Picture version? - zgjie
Great, we really needed this! Thanks :) - Sébastien
Enjoying new FF badge http://scabr.com/ :) - Igor Poltavskiy
Nice work! Can we please have a "all services except blog" option on the Feed Widget to cut down on the echo over at my blog? - Richard Chen
Thank you, I like the clean Friendfeed look. It's, friendly! - Larry Kless via twhirl
Great work Paul and the team, just decorated my Blog with the widgets and it felt like Christmas! - Joe Dawson (beta)
nice work....will add soon to my blog - Arjun
Nice but as others have said, those of us not self-hosted (e.g. wordpress.com) can't use js widgets - Neil Saunders
I was thinking about replacing my blog with an api app... this will do the equivalent without any work on my part :D - Tai
Totally brilliant implementation, many thanks indeed, especially for the room widget - Chris Nuttall
nice - bangjihyun

I love Adobe Air applications. Photoshop and Illustrator also rawks. I hate acrobat, bridge, and the stupid updater. - Alan Le
Photoshop and Illustrator DO rule, I just hate how it takes a bajillion years to open!! - Mona N.
Like RoboHelp. Hate the updater. - Nine
the updater is very annoying. I find the only time I actually update something is once the current quarter is over so I know that if something goes wrong I have sufficient time to fix it before the next big project is due... in reality I could probably never update my adobe apps - Kyle A Koch
I spend much of my working day in Dreamweaver, and sometimes Photoshop. While they are reasonably good apps, for the price that is charged they should be better in quite a few areas. - Ian May

Black and White Dollar Portraits (BW$P) | Justin Korn's Blog
August 25 at 11:14 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Thomas Hawk has been doing his $2 Portrait Project and when I first read about it, I thought it was a great idea. I’ve been trying to think of a way to alter his project in my own unique way. I know $2 is not a lot of money, but while walking down Haight Street the other day, I knew I would be asked for money quite a few times. If I stuck with the $2 project, I would have to stop at the ATM before lunch. So, I decided I would still be doing a good service while still keeping the the project alive if I only offered $1. It sounds cheap, I know, but this is not my intention. To take it one step further, every single one picture that is part of this project will be black and white. So, my project will be: Black and White Dollar Portraits (BW$P)." - Justin Korn
Very cool, Justin :-). I'll enjoy watching your project unfold. - asiriusgeek
Thanks asiriusgeek! - Justin Korn
It's cool to see someone spin off of Thomas' idea. Will be watching this as well. - Aaron B. Hockley
Thanks Aaron! - Justin Korn
This is the first time I've heard of this, and it's an amazing idea. I peeked over at Thomas' blog as well. Both of you took such great photos. Very awesome. More people should do this! - Candace Holly
Justin... Epic, I love this type of photography. Look forward to it. - Johnny Worthington
Thanks Candace and John. I'm really glad people are enjoying this project, from both Thomas and I. It is not only fun, but rewarding as well. - Justin Korn

why does anything have to be generational? - Richard Binhammer
I'm not sure how useful it is to corral people according to so-called "generations", as it may well be a form of ageism, and as the doctator indicated, all isms are de facto proofs of the presence of dire evil. Not really, but it could happen. Blogging is like reading or writing or speaking...a basic skill that knows no age, no cohort. On your other point, there is certainly a shift toward microblogging, and fingers everywhere are rejoicing. - david beckwith
Richard, what a typical response from someone of your generation ;-) - Sprague D
generation is a false construct so that people don't have to think ... it is all about state of consciousness - Gregory Lent
There's decent research that suggests that your generation has more effect on your consumer behavior, workplace satisfaction, preferred modes of work, etc., than your ethnicity, race, and gender combined. So whether or not "is gen X the blog generation" is the right question, there are definitely big questions to be asked about generations. - J-P Voillequé
I'm having trouble locating fan-blogs about Matock. - stretta via twhirl
I thought Gen X came a little before blogging times. You might be referring to Gen Y - Lindsey
i can never really figure out which gen x and y refer to... or where i fall amongst them - Kyle A Koch
Aren't we on to gen.Z yet? - Slippy Lane
gen y is definitely too information overloaded to blog with much seriousness. - Michael J. Cohen (mjc)
The key is keeping X and Y talking (and making sure they both listen) - Charlie Anzman

To bad about the jail breaking part. If they can get around that, I'd be all over it. - Justin Korn
Unfort. you have to jailbreak it. Hope real video comes soon! - Nice Fish Films
Yup. Jailbroke mine post 2.0.1 upgrade. Qik is nice, though a bit slow even over WiFi. Guess that's par for the course. Just broadcast my first live stream from my iPhone 3G. Not I have to figure out how to delete it. - Greg
Nice Fish Films - I don't think it will ever happen... - Justin Korn
Anybody know why it can't be sold in the AppStore? - Brandon Titus
anyone got any clips up we can see? - Zee from WeDoCreative
Call me when it doesn't require a jailbreak... same situation as before - Bwana
It most likely won't be coming to an unjailbroken iPhone. AT&T definitely doesn't want this eating their bandwidth. Same reason for netspace I'm sure. I don't even know if that tethering app is called that. I'm using it on my phone and love it. - Dennis Jackson
I just downloaded last night. My first one is up at qik (teejayhanton). Not sure why Apple wouldn't let them sell through app store, but glad they developed it anyway! - tj hanton
Does this work in Sweden or is it US only? - Svartling
The very fact that you have to jailbreak the phone to get this to work suggests to me that the iPhone Video is just round the corner. A phone with video now that's innovation. - John Cooper
There was a demo of a jailbreak version of Slingplayer for the iPhone but I haven't heard much since a few months ago. - Andrew Leyden
is it impossible to create a native app for locked phone that would allow video? - Bob Blunk
I thought the problem was the iPhone only handle a few video codec, none of which were very popular for streaming (but I'm not sure on that). - Andrew Leyden
I think the problem is AT&T's block on data transfer such as streaming over the cell network. So you could theoretically get your account terminated. (Hope that doesn't happen to me :P). It's in the ars technica article: http://bit.ly/1XzxCz - Brandon Titus
i'm really likin it :) started streaming right away: http://qik.com/videopixil - videopixil
