Hey @Friendfeed ; think about this... You ask us to "fix" our connection to FB but some of us want some control between the 2 communities. How about a switch like the Twitter one for posting?
The two services have an overlap but not everything I post here I want on Facebook. I'd be more likely to allow some of my stream to head over there if I could control it. Otherwise the switch is gonna stay flicked off. The community over there doesn't care for some of my noise and I would like some granularity.

My family and friends on Facebook couldn't care less what I think about Attention Metadata and Twitter APIs. However, you guys probably don't mind putting up with that Procal Harum video I linked to on Facebook last month. ; )

Here's the skinny: I bought this CD after Spidra's webcast concert. I love these songs and the Saturday morning cartoons they remind me of. I listened to it twice in a row last week while driving. It makes me smile. I'm totally in love with her voice.

FYI: "Hello Ma Baby" is my favorite, mostly because it's a great song, but partly because I won a trivia game a few years ago because I knew that the frog's name was "Michigan". WHO'S THE MAN, NOW?!?!

"On FriendFeed (http://friendfeed.com/furry...), I was alerted to the fact that the New York Time’s Gift Guide for 2009, included a whole section for the people of color in your life. (http://www.nytimes.com/gift-gu...) Yep. I freely admit to being slightly amused by it. At first I thought it was a joke, but seeing articles and tweets about it, made me realize that it was an actual part of their guide. In 2009. Naturally, I had to look it up myself. And…uh…well, read:"

I picked up a set of mini r/c boats (nice ones for the price, I might add) so that my dad and I could race them at the park. I brought them back to my place and forgot the rule that you cannot take a photo of something new until the kitties have finished rubbing on it. :D
:D ty, they should be really fun around here, we have some parks with nice little lakes and various crap EDIT: video of what it runs like (not by me, not opening these till xmakuh) http://www.youtube.com/watch...

"I use different social sites in different ways. I don't find and follow "new" people on Facebook. If we connect there, it's because we've already "met" online or in person. I have found new people through Twitter, but I really don't use it all that often anymore. Most of my social interaction occurs through FriendFeed or the Library Society of the World chatroom. I've made new friends through seeing others' comments and likes in FriendFeed, and I've had the pleasure of meeting some of them in person. I think I lean more toward using social sites for community (like Julie Powell) than for getting smarter (like Robert Scoble). Granted, if I have a professional question, I have a network of librarians/archivists I can ask, but that's not my primary purpose in online networking. That said, none of my online interactions are making me less smart. Maybe I don't get my world news through my Twitter feed, but I certainly get plenty of good ideas and food for thought from my "invisible...

My aunt had brain surgery yesterday that lasted fourteen hours. She's not awake yet, though, and has pneumonia. Please send positive thoughts, if you can.
Val, I haven't heard any updates today, other than she's still not awake. My mom is going in later to see what the doctors are saying. Thanks for all the nice thoughts and prayers!

Sending prayers and good thoughts, Trish.

You didn't, Morgan, but you brought up a Spanish variant in another thread.
- Derrick
yeah, and if you noticed, it was a joke that had nothing to do with you. so if you take things in other threads personally, especially when they are not offensive to anyone else in context, then I guess I need to apologize for everything I've ever posted because either I'm a fucking insensitive prick, or you are a bit too defensive about shit that was never directed at you in any way, shape or form. either way, if you were hurt by something i did or said, i sincerely apologize for that result.

It's a real word. It was a movement set up in England that campaigned against the disestablishment of the Church of England. In other words, they campaigned to keep the Church of England as the official state church

Great post. You really captured the essence of the city with your words. New Orleans is one of my favorite cities, too. My heart is always heavy when I have to leave.
- Trish R
thanks trish :-). i really want to go spend several months there and experience the place more fully. there is so much history and culture there that is underappreciated by most.

Tiffany, I agree. I plan on doing the same thing when my son graduates high school and I have a more flexible schedule.

Whether you’re an intermediate guitarist trying to decipher charts from your school’s music program or a professional player looking to expand your musical vocabulary, you’re ready for some one-on-one private guitar instruction, right? Problem… the commute’s a little far. Not anymore! No matter where on the planet (or beyond) you are, we can do lessons! You just need a webcam, computer and high-speed internet.

The cake is not a lie (and we still have some left...the poppyseed)...If you ever do a wedding or large party, red velvet cake with a creme cheese filling is the bomb!

Cassie's grandma absolutely losing it when the DJ played Spanish Eyes by Englebert Humperdink (it was her and her husband's song and her husband died like 11 years ago) while most of her surviving family are dancing with her in a big ring.

Dane and Judy winning the anniversary dance. They are Jessie's parents and Jessie is the woman who introduced Cassie and me. Even funnier was Judy being so looped and having so much fun.

Honestly, you not inviting us, of all people, is a slight I do not know if I am soon ready to forget... unless you send me 9 easy payments of $19.95 each! Then, we will have a clean slate! Tabula rasa!
