Reminds me of minority report. It looks great for managing windows and such, but what about writing documents? One of the nice things about the mouse is that you only have to use one hand, while the other hand can remain on the keyboard. I suppose this would also be possible with the touchpad here. The future looks promising.

Time spent downloading a page (in milliseconds) dropped considerably after switching my blog to Tornado from webapp/Django

If you ever decide to post that code anywhere, I'd really like to see it. How different is Tornado from Django, anyway?
- Keith Bourgoin
I'm not done yet but: http://github.com/bgolub...
- Benjamin Golub
They are pretty different. One similar area are templates. Tornado templates look a lot like Django templates but they let you run arbitrary Python inside of the template. I love being able to do simple things like list comprehensions inside of templates.
- Benjamin Golub
What are you measuring this with?

Ben: Thanks!! I didn't know that was there.

yes, thanks Ben for posting the source to both blog implementations, I'm considering using tornado instead of webapp for my next app engine project, and having both to compare is quite nice

Are you planning on doing the same for rssmeme?

Does tornado have to use nginx or are you using this with apache?
- Hari
This is running on App Engine using Tornado's WSGI support (http://www.tornadoweb.org/documen...). Tornado does not have to use nginx. You do not have to put anything in front of Tornado if you don't want to. Read more at http://www.tornadoweb.org/documen... and http://www.tornadoweb.org/documen...

"Hipsters. They’re everywhere. You’ve seen them on skateboards, in the mall and at the club. You’ve seen them shrugging dismissively in Oakland, Calif., Willamsburg, Brooklyn and Austin, Tx. And, suddenly, in Barack Obama’s Washington, too. Recently, I encountered Hector, a teenager skateboarding with friends outside a McDonald’s in downtown D.C. He’s wearing a neon T-shirt, impossibly skinny jeans, and a bored expression. So, are you a hipster or what? “Man, no,” he says. He does not care much for labels. Can he have a cigarette? Hector is black. And these days, if you spend enough time in Union Square in New York City, Gallery Place in Washington or even Brick Lane in London, you know that there are thousands more kids just like him—black, white and brown. What gives?"

it's not just skinny jeans, it's skinny jeans that have a low-waist, which is traditionally a more feminine cut. the whole point is gender ambiguity, and originally it was just dudes wearing womens jeans. (low waist is now mainstream for men, just in a more masculine fit).
- coffee
i forgot to mention, skinny jeans don't get caught in your bicycle gear (gear singular, because you're probably riding a fixie if you're a hipster. just sayin)

Thanks, peter. No reference to hipsters would be complete without a mention of a "fixie".

Catan, Carcassonne, et al., are great gateway games to introduce people to the wonderful world of Eurogames and away from the Milton Bradley/Parker Bros. stranglehold. However, there are far, far better games out there than these. Look into Agricole, Twilight Struggle, Through the Ages, and fun Ameritrash stuff like Arkham Horror.

Whats interesting is that Wayne has been doing this long before Radiohead or anyone else decided to be "innovative."

He used DIY media and built himself by himself, on the net, no different than any of us vlogger dorks. :) Yes of course they are nothing alike (but now that both songs are stuck in my head, I guess I got my penance.)
- Eric Rice
The thing is, Wayne's stuff didn't get released to net until very recently. In the past, the only way his mixtapes got on the internet was via fans ripping and uploading the street released mixes. The thing about Wayne is that instead of fighting against it, he embraced it. He's a very for the fans artist I think.
- EricaJoy
I think Eric was talking about content distribution here; appreciation (or not) of the music doesn't bear on how it was distributed.
- Phil Crissman
@Phil That's my point. The distribution of Wayne's stuff doesn't really fall into the "ooo isn't he understanding of the web and progressive" idea. Wayne's stuff was essentially put on the web because of his fans and he chose to go with that method of distro rather than fight it.

I am all with the comment aggregator, but I do not want it limited to blogs and friend feed only, I want to see it with any place I decide to have a conversation! FriendFeed already knows when you comment at Digg, why not show WHAT was commented - and it would be great if all could be tied into a blog - that way we each have our own 'home base' to keep track of stuff! :)
- Paula Hawk
So I'll be contentious: Yes, the ability to pull comments from the blog into friendfeed is interesting, but no more interesting than pulling on the content of the post itself. And yes, pushing FF comments made by people who subscribe to you on to your blog's page is interesting, but not all those comments made on FF shares when someone else shared, delicioused, tumblred or otherwise...

I like the idea of using FriendFeed conversations similar to a TrackBack, but don't need everything copied. How's that for a happy medium?
- Louis Gray
One of the great things about FF is that social scopes are permeable and pliable: conversations leak around, and people like it. The question is not "should it be possible for conversations to cross boundaries" (between social circles or web sites) but "when and how and under what circumstances should crossover happen to promote effective dialogue and community".
- ⓞnor
Having Friendfeed comments on a specific blog post pop up say in a sidebar of the comment thread to that blog post, right on the blog, might add some value. Similar as to how e.g. a trackback system or a backlinks checker integrated in the comments thread can add some value (I wish Google Blog Search wasn't broken, as it offers feeds for its searches). This stuff is likely not as valuable as the main comments made to that blog posts, but perhaps makes sense displayed as expandable box or sideb and what-not.
- Philipp Lenssen
Trackback idea is a good one. I can see problems of everyone having multiple copies of everything everywhere.... I would even say just one trackback per blog post, perhaps with an updating count of comments?
- Paula Hawk
I think "solving the dup problem" on FF itself -- balancing separation and aggregation when many people discuss the same thing -- could be a good testbed, without all the hassle of syndication. Do "segregated but parallel" commentstreams work out in real life? Who knows, but I'd like to see.

I like the de-duping issue, but I'm not big on the popularity leaderboard. One of the things I like about FF is that it's not a popularity contest. You can't see how many people are following someone else & you can't see who has the most 'liked' or commented items, or even who's posted the most. It might me naive, but I'd like to keep it that way if possible. I'm not opposed to the idea of a TechMeme-esq most popular link though.

at the end of the day, i'm happy to have the best conversations about content i publish happen on friendfeed - i don't need to own them on my blog. but i would like to be able to tell people "hey, go here to friendfeed and talk with other people who find this interesting" or to be able to show readers that there is an active discussion about a particular topic happening somewhere else if they'd like to join in the fray. i think that's good for me as a publisher and good for friendfeed, no?

@Kevin: I don't think unilateral automated aggregation is the answer! I think two questions are conflated here: whether and how conversations cross social scopes (me and my friends discussing someone else's blog entry), vs. how one person's social universe can be unified across sites (comments attached to the blogger's own friendfeed entry getting pushed back to their site). The first one is a indeed a "very, very messy" social engineering issue, the other is a relatively basic feature to be prioritized.

Let me be the first to say that I don't want to see the blog comments unless they are from someone I know (or I guess friends of friends). It's amazing how uninteresting the opinions of internet strangers are. At least let me turn it off. I never read the comments on blog posts except on friendfeed.

But I would be sad if the messiness of those issues led you to back away entirely -- I think there are exciting and cool things you could do with continuing to refine what FOAF does, and to make it easier to see the different discussions about the same thing that already overlap your scope.

If anyone reads this and decides to take up the desktop-application development mentioned in this shared link, I suggest something along the lines of twhirl, if possible.

@Kevin: As you suggest, I think that what makes ff intimate and useful is that the conversations just involve a small group of people, and you know roughly who they are. This fits a model of social interaction evolved over millenia. The obvious way to make ff better is to provide more flexible kinds of privacy, not more ways to broadcast. Otoh, perhaps bloggers would like an easy way to set their ffs so that the conversation on ff around their posts are pulled back onto their blogs.

There may be benefits to syndicating the other (bookmarked) feed items, but there the benefits of not syndicating are pretty obvious too.

Great discussion in the comments in the article via Kevin Fox. Nice that he stopped by. Very cool
