Those numbers don't look right - it's saying Pete Cashmore is on 255 lists

Clicking page 2 goes to the same list of people again

Jesse: it's only of those people who've put their lists on Listorious. So, very few people have done that yet.

I still can't get to the second page :-(

Ah, there we go - I'm at 170 :-( On Twitter I'm just about 70 away from Louis though.

On the left, the logo for NeoEdge (http://www.neoedge.com/). On the right, Google's Closure logo. Discuss.
In theory, couldn't one take the left logo and PhotoShop it to make the right logo?
- Louis Gray
I dono, I think the left one looks more like the finished version, and the right is the first draft ;)

Steve Slaton owners are starting to get nervous. His team scores 34, but he can't sniff the endzone.

It's been a great Monday Night Football game. The Colts have been dominated and outplayed, and the Dolphins have kept the ball nearly 80% of the time. But when Peyton Manning has had the ball, he's led his team on four scoring drives.

This could be a long day for Tennessee.

Vikings were going into halftime with a FG try to make it 16-7... Niners BLOCKED the kick, Nate Clemens recovers a clean bounce and takes it back 60 yards to the house. Niners 14, Vikings 13... at the half!!!

- .LAG liked that
Vikes will power ahead away in the second half. My wife insists.
- Mark H
Not been too impressed with the Titans/Oilers in my game but the Jets offense seems to have stalled, partly through the fact that Sanchez can't seem to get a good grip on the ball in the rain.
- Mark H
...I don't know about the Vikings powering ahead. That 49er defense is starting to take on the tough, smashmouth characteristics of their head coach Mike Singletary. They never quit.

@MarKH... LOLz! That's like broadcasters who'll say "This kicker hasn't missed a kick in two years..." or "This QB hasn't been intercepted in 20 straight games..." Then on the next play: missed kick or INT! hahaha

...this Vikings/Niners game has been really competitive. Niners play ugly, but they are tough

Niners just picked off in endzone...but play was whistled dead because of delay-of-game penalty. Lucky!

And just like that... I've decided that the phrase "and just like that" is really, really overused by commentators.

Brett Favre just completed a big pass on third down, but he was 3 yards over the LOS. Niners challenging...
- .LAG liked that
do the refs see the unofficial lines in the replay, like we do?

49ers and our great prevent offense. 3 plays up the gut and 0 time off the clock. At least try for a first down. OMG.
- Todd Hoff
Todd ...yeah, the Niners could have done more to chew up the clock at the end there, but still, their defense let Favre drive about 70 yards with a minute left and NO timeouts. it's a team loss for SFO

Watching Dolphins/Chargers too. Both teams looking pretty shoddy in the red zone.

Mark...agree, this has been kind of a snooze so far... especially after that Niners/Vikings finish. Oh well...

Miami is in danger of going 0-3... Chargers are putting together one of those killer late 4th quarter drives, late in the game, to close it out...
- .LAG liked that
...yup! Chargers have this game in the bag now.
- .LAG liked that
.LAG they really should have never been put in that position. Favre is a proven 9er killer. Call a rollout and make a safe pass if open. Something other than a use no time run up the gut. That's just bad bad strategy. Especially for a rookie running back averaging a couple of yards a carry.
- Todd Hoff
Todd... great points. Niners are still learning to win, but they do have a lot of fight in them.
- .LAG liked that
...looking forward to lots of offense in the Sunday Night Game between Colts and Cards!
- .LAG liked that
...that's weird: Arizona blocked Indy's PAT, but the ball squirted through, hit the camera on top of the goalpost, and bounced back. the camera is above and behind the goalpost, so the kick looked bad, but was actually good. huh?
- .LAG liked that
...can't tell if the Colts are this good, or the Cardinals are this bad, but this game is becoming clinical
- .LAG liked that
They do have a lot of heart and that's a reason for hope. Though no matter how much I fight I can't do better than second in my pool now :-)

Cowboys start fast...and then go limp and blow their scoring opportunity... #mnf

@Carter ...it looked like a drop, but on the replay, you can see Champ Bailey coming around and punching the ball out

Who would win if USC played the Raiders?
- Louis Gray
Louis: the Raiders would win, easily. they're a bad PRO team, yes, against the best competition on the planet. but every NFL team is basically an all-star college team of the highest caliber. it wouldn't even be close. Raiders 72, USC 3.
- .LAG liked that
wow! David Carr -- remember him, he was the NFL's #1 draft pick about 8 years ago -- scores a TD for the Giants... the slaughter of the Raiders continues...

JaMarcus Russell...well, I'm not an NFL quarterback, but this guy is, well, horrible. he needs to go back to college and learn how to play football.
- .LAG liked that
Russell has 5 completions... and 3 lost fumbles. Can he get 2 more fumbles?
- .LAG liked that
LANjackal... no doubt, in a different system, Russell would get better coaching, which would allow him to grow. Still, he seems to just be raw physical potential but with no actual talent for the position. he's not an accurate thrower, he has no pocket presence, he stares down receivers, and for huge, 6-foot-8, 270lb guy, he goes down far too easily... even tiny Jeff Garcia was harder to tackle.

Cincinnati 10, Baltimore 7...hmm, the Bengals D is balling.

Chiefs 13, Cowboys 3... it will really s*ck being Tony Romo if the Cowboys lose to a 0-4 team.
- .LAG liked that
Tashard Choice TD... Chiefs 13, Cowboys 10 now
- .LAG liked that
To JaMarcus Russell's credit: he gets very little help from his team. his line is porous and doesn't protect him, his running game is weak (related to the line play too), his WRs drop passes... it's all symptomatic of malaise throughout. the Raiders are becoming a case study in an organization that needs a complete top-to-bottom reboot.

These are my Week 6 impressions so far: 1) Vikings have two lucky wins; 2) Can't believe the Saints could run up that many points on my Giants; 3) the Redskins may be worse than the Raiders, because they spend even more money and get even less in return; 4) the Rams will probably be moving back to LA....

I'm not a fan of gift cards. They are a ripoff by the stores. Many gift cards lose their value after a short time if not used, and they restrict the receiver to one store.

- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
In retail, "breakage" is the percentage of gift cards that are never redeemed. Financially you have to recognize the liability forever, unless the state allows the retailer to start siphoning off the worth of the card over time. The breakage rate in general is astounding. For some types of retailers' gift cards, up to 40% are not redeemed, meaning the retailer gets to keep the cash as profit.
- Stephen Mack
I believe CA state law doesn't allow Gift Cards to be devalued...
- Ken Gidley
In WA gift cards can't have an expiration date. (I'm also not generally a fan of them, as they're restrictive, unless I know that is where someone shops all of the time.)
- Jennifer Dittrich
MVB - The AmEx ones slowly devalue, as well. I think the key in buying gift cards is to make sure that they are from a store (or restaurant) that someone uses regularly. If you buy me a gift card for a place like Cabela's, chances are I'll never use it, and will probably end up giving it away. If you buy me a gift card for WalMart or Outback or something, I'll definitely use it.

I'm always on the fence with Gift Cards. As Stephen Mack clearly stated, there are many cards that are never redeemed. This could be due to the person lost it, doesn't shop there or always forgets to bring it. I try to give cards to those that I know have use the ones I've given in the past. If I didn't hear about your restaurant experience or find out what you bought, it makes me rethink the following year.

Gift cards scream "I'm socially responsible enough to know I need to get you a gift at this point in time, but here, you pick it out, I can't be bothered."
- SAM
Why is it socially responsible to give people things at particular points in time? Something is seriously wrong with a society that depends on consumerism to thrive.
- Cristo
Convention? i.e. Birthday, Christmas ect... I think gift cards are cop outs at these times... gift cards given randomly=awesome.
- SAM
Why are we required to give gifts for birthdays and at Christmas? We have other conventions in society too, like when cigarette smokers their leave butts on the sidewalk when they're done with them.
- Cristo
I think gift giving can be a symbolic/thought filled/beautiful gesture even if, and sometimes especially when tied into a cultural convention. I just think the style/extravagance/consumerism aspect has gone too far... as we Americans and humans in general have a tendency to do.
- SAM
I think that cigarettes on a sidewalk make for nice decoration Cristo, thank you very much
- Holden Page
I have another convention that I've been following. It's called Craiglisting all the gifts that people give me and not buying stuff for people they don't need or want.
- Cristo
Are you completely anti-gift Cristo? If so, why?
- SAM
+1 SAM. These gestures are done with special yearly occasions because unfortunately we don't do them everyday or very rarely for no reason. So, it's a lazy way for us to remind yourself that you are appreciative of that person for all those times you never acknowledged it throughout the year.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
SAM, no. I give lots of gifts, but I rarely do it when I'm "suppose to." The reason I don't like receiving gifts unless it's something I really want, is because it creates extra work for me. This is more acute of late as I've been getting rid of stuff for the last three years thats accumulated over a lifetime. I also don't like the waste of natural resources and pollution that are caused by all the consumerism when it's unnecessary.
- Cristo
I agree on the "receiving gifts unless it's something I really want" part. That's why I personally like Gift Cards given to me (but from specific places).
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Anybody ever say "I already have this" or "look, my 50th Hawaiian shirt" while sitting around the Christmas tree? But my absolute favorite gifts are the ones engraved with your name, with your birthday or anniversary, and maybe your social security number, just to make sure you can't get rid of it. :)
- Cristo
Yes, I have admittedly. It's hard not to show disgust but some people are just horrible gift givers and they just don't get it. BUT it's the thought that counts even though I'd rather of had no gift than the one actually given (year after year). People know I'm picky, I sense you are too but their are still people who it's not clicked. Try to open that one gift up with a smile, get rid of the gift later.
- manielse (Mark Nielsen)
I like a lot of what you and Mark are saying here... For me... gifts=good if they a) have thought behind them b) hit the target - i.e. are actually useful/appreciated by that person. Otherwise, i'd rather do without as well. Bad gifts to me just say someone doesn't really know me or has picked something up in haste to just go through the holiday motions = useless consumerism. What are some great gifts though? What's the best one you've ever gotten?

A Snow Blower. Why? It wasn't because it was expensive. The December before I had just moved into my first house.

It doesn't take a lot of money to come up with the perfect gift. What it takes is thought, and that thought is easy when you really care about someone. If I told you the best gift I ever got wasn't for me and it consisted of a couple of used books, a bag of rice, some chopsticks, ginger, soy sauce, etc; would you believe me? http://cranialsoup.blogspot.com/2006...

In Germany per law gift cards are good for X years no matter what the gift card says about its expiry date (e.g. minimum 2 years, not sure exactly). Not every store owner knows this law though, and service is often bad in Germany, so good luck investing energy to stand up for your right :)
- Philipp Lenssen

Even if they don't lose value, a huge percentage are never redeemed -- lost, stolen, or stuck away somewhere, possibly because the recipient has no nearby locations.

April: "What it takes is thought, and that thought is easy when you really care about someone. " -- Thought is rarely easy for me these days. Figuring out what people want that they don't already have seems like an unnecessary waste of time unless I'm an expert at something they are not.

@Cristo That's the thing, you don't have to "figure it out". When you care about someone, they are in your thoughts when you are apart. Those thoughts will guide you if you let them. You will see (or hear) things that remind you of them, constantly. That is where the gift ideas come from. Buy whatever makes you think of them. I can't shop for people I don't care about.

If you read the blog post I linked to, you would have seen that the most thoughtful gift I was referring to was when someone made my daughter smile, by applying the same gift giving principles I was talking about.

- Cristo
Also, why was your husband giving you cash as a gift? Seems weird. My wife buys whatever she wants, so the only time I need to give her cash is if she hasn't gone to the ATM lately.
- Cristo
Maybe I come from a different world than you. There are no ATM machines and we rarely ever have money in our pockets. I usually don't get what I need, nevermind what I want. I usually have to make due with whatever we have and make it work in ways it was never intended.
- April Russo (app103)
Um, okay. If you are poor and live somewhere that is technology repressed, I feel for you. But shouldn't that motivate you to save or work towards changing that position? It doesn't seem like a good argument for the consumeristic gift-giving I'm arguing against.
- Cristo
My gift giving usually isn't very consumerist and I am frugal to a fault. And I am working to change that position I am in, but currently we are in a very deep hole and it is taking a long time for me to dig us out of it. If you want to help, I have some software on my site you can try, and if you like it you can donate what you think the software is worth. http://appsapps.info

I use Seesmic (although recently it hasn't been working, so I temporarily switched to Mixero) and for me the biggest benefit is to be able to manage 2 separate Twitter accounts in a practical way. Overall, I just find that these clients are more practical in terms of filtering people and content.

I guess it comes down to the able-to-see-more-at-once, right?

Exactly. My primary reason for using a client was the double account issue (and yes, it's a little overwhelming, but I need to keep connections in both languages).
