We took a walk on East Cliff - the waves were crazy big and there were some awesome surfers out there today.

I don't. I also block all notices to play anything on there.

I tried it. I couldn't get into it. Looks addicting though.

I played it for a couple of months when it first came out. Then when everyone caught on to it, I quit playing. I have that app (along with all the others like it) completely blocked now.
- Jason Huebel
I've blocked all those apps in facebook, so I can have a readable stream with a low s/n ratio when I go in there. I'm not miserable, but I spend enough hours at a computer as it is, without trying to waste more time!
- Ian May
I played Farm Town for about two weeks. It was too much work for a "game," so I gave up. I never got into Farmville. My "friends" still send me all kinds of stuff from both games, though.

I do not. I don't plan to start.

I don't play it either - or mafia wars - or any of the other games on facebook.

Some of these games on Facebook are driving me crazy. I don't really care who bought whom or who rubbed out whomever...

Ah, it is very easy to hide those. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tried it and it was kinda meh. Couldn't get into it. Too much else to do.

I don't play games. Just don't like to. Every so often I post an announcement that I won't respond to your game invitation so don't take offense. People still hit me with "pillows" and "food" and whatnot. Have they MET me?
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
I love Farmville....there I said it. If ya don't like it, tough squat. I also play Cafe World, Pet Society, Farm Town and Mafia Wars, even though Mafia Wars is bugging me lately. I know people get sick of the apps, but they are fun time wasters. :P I guess I like Farmville because I am bringing out my inner farmer, since I'm from the country originally. :P
- Mol, Time Warping
I don't play farmville, but I do play Enchanted island (nice passive rpg that doesn't really annoy your friends) and the Backstage games (did the artwork for a charity prize set in Scratch & Win). And Bejeweled Blitz kind of grabs me every once in awhile when I get really bored. Come to think of it, I don't really have an interest in facebook beyond those few games.
- April Russo (app103)
I don't play any games on facebook. I avoid most apps like the plague.
- Ahsan Ali aka. Slick
Me neither. I've got so many invitations to play it, it is not even funny :P
- Claudia Petrilli
I personally don't get the app craze on FB - I have a hard enough time just keeping up with people...tried at the beginning - lost interest.
- Robyn Hawk
Yay for http://www.facebook.com/pages... and the "block this ... " feature.
- Irma Vermaat
Don't get me wrong, I'm not judging people who play the games. I used to play the trivia games on there, like the one about the TV show Arrested Development. I even played that infernal Lil' Greenpatch one cuz I found out they really do donate to environmental orgs. I just happened to see this abundance of notices about the game Farmville and it struck me as this huge craze. I'm glad I know how to hide those notices now.
- Laura Norvig
I don't. No apps for me.
- Rochelle
i do not

NEVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- JA Castillo
And me. I refuse. Also don't play Mafia Wars.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Nope, not me either... :o)
- Jeannette Høvring
No Facebook games at all. In fact, I was somewhat appalled to find one of my AdGabber friends playing Mafia Wars. Although I suppose I shouldn't take it so hard - he's an agency type - not a geek.
- MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
In Italy we use to say: "Two good arms hijacked from Agriculture" and that's a very good reason NOT to play Farmville!
- marcoscud
Farmville won't show me all the screen, not just on my TabletPC, but on my desktop (widescreen) w/ Firefox. People tell me I can, er, was it resize or pop the screen out, don't remember? However, that icon doesn't make it into what little of Farmville shows. I prefer Farm Town, anyway. I don't want to be bothered with fertilizing and watering and all that stuff. If I want to do all that, I'll switch to real life. I don't even play Farm Town anymore; I like Castle Age. I SMACKED THE CRAP OUTTA THAT HYDRA!

Sorry about the netflix nightmare. I've had all of these in my queue for over a year - no idea why they suddenly all came over here.

I see that all the time, and have ever since I activated the Experiment. Whenever they modify it, it goes offline for a little bit and that pops up. What the hey, it's "experimental". :)

I had an experience with Google search yesterday that really opened up my eyes. It should be a no-brainer, but I'm sure so many people don't realize this. I was trying to see how well our project, which has the very unfortunate nondescript name "The Resource Center" was coming up. I logged out so my results would be clean, and our project came up really high. Then I realized it was...

Best Halloween ever. First we trick or treated on the downtown mall. Perfect Santa Cruz gorgeous sunny day. Then we stopped and had margaritas and lemonade. Then we went to the Santa Cruz wharf, where the merchants also do a kids trick or treat thing. We met our friends and their daughters - we have been doing Halloween with them for five years, ever since the kids were born. After that, one more round of margaritas with dinner - cuz that's how we roll on Halloween. Then home to let the kidlet stare at his giant bucket of candy.
