We're sitting in the upstairs hallway and Calvin is playing SuperSmashBros online on the Wii. I just got the internet connection set.

No one told me Audrey Niffenegger had another book out - anyone read it yet? Any good? I need to find a better way of finding out about new books. And by that I mean "a way."

Ugh. For a second I thought this meant the wish list was working (saw it on FB first). Well, darn.

Heh, sorry Mark. Thanks for the link, Graham!

I like GoodReads for that reason. Of course, you can get RSS feeds from Amazon for new releases. Not as nice as some ways, but it can work.
- Sarah June
You can link your goodreads to FF i think ...
- Jeremy
My GoodReeds is piped in here, I just don't use GoodReads that much. I'd like to find a blog that covered new and upcoming book releases the way that Cinematical or /Film or Film School Rejects cover movie releases. I've been unsuccessful so far, but I haven't looked in a year or so.

Time for Term Limits in Congress? - http://www.jimdemint.com/blog...
While I agree with the need for such an amendment, having 2 six-year terms for Senators is unacceptable. 2 4-year terms maybe. But 6 years is too long between elections.
- Craig Eddy
Term limits won't help.

Scouring all American culture for moral analysis is tiring and seems to promote pride more than virtuous living. Try "This bothers me" rather than "This is wrong."
And the existence of great evils in society don't justify this mindset. Instead, they make the great evils seem like trivialities in a long list.

should I be offended by an email from a recruiter asking me if I know any strong technology sales people for a position he is filling?
Maybe he didn't want to use the direct approach?

Clearly Amy Millan's "Low Sail" has joined Rilo Kiley's "Papillon" and "Pictures of Success" among the songs I need to hear on repeat when I feel like crap. (cf http://friendfeed.com/faithx5...).

Finally moved on. This melancholia mix/playlist I made this week turned out to be useful sooner than I expected.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Um... In order to "enjoy" the mood or to get out of it?

Stay in it, sort of. It's not a bad melancholy, just calm and introspective; I just don't feel physically well and the playlist is very comforting.

Long overdue. They never figured out what kind of show they were delivering. The media ads didn't match what the show delivered: lactating Eliza versus the print images of her posing with guns and looking serious. Still, Felicia's episode was the most mind-blowing.

I just saw that. Jerks. Not that I didn't see it coming, but still. I don't have time for everything they're making, but they need to cancel the stuff that I just kinda sorta like, not the stuff I love. They're doin' it wrong.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Oh, and yeah, I do prioritize. But that just means my backlog of "things I want to do when I have time" is getting larger and larger, and I'm not probably gonna have time to start catching up on it until I retire. And think how much MORE stuff is going to get released before then?! It's so overwhelming.

Dear Google: Please get rid of this page. Just add a setting so I can say "always use Google Reader for RSS feeds." (Or vice versa, or an option to always ask if someone uses both.) I've been going through this extra step for years now, and I am really tired of it.

I really wish they would kill it. I *NEVER* want to add a feed to my google homepage. I never go there.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
Exactly, Rah. I've never chosen the Homepage option. Google knows everything about me, they should know by now that this page is worthless to me. And seriously, now with Google's profiles and centralized accounts, a persistent setting for this should be a piece of cake to implement.

- Alex Scrivener
Yeah, it's a "web app". Not a native App Store app. But it does the job when you're wanting to rank on the go. We'll revisit it and work on making it into a full-fledged app eventually.
- Nathan Chase
I ended up going with Casablanca, but it was hard - one of my all-time faves vs. one of my all-time faves from probably my favorite working directors. Nathan, the cleanness of the iPhone interface works really well; the only thing I wish is if it had the ability to rank on filters (I find not much changes if I rank on everything these days), and a notification if something moved in the rankings - just like a pop-up that says "Casablanca moved from 37 to 24".

Thanks, MWM. I use third-party plugins/workarounds for Pandora and Slacker; thankfully, lala.com added actual last.fm support. Hopefully I can get one of the Grooveshark ones to work. Listening to Amy Millan now, BTW. Really, really liking it (it's her first album, not the new one).

Still no way to delete songs from library *grr* it stripped some tags when I uploaded over a year ago and a lot of the tunes are in my grooveshark library are thus screwed up. I've wanted a way to remove those longer than I've wanted scrobbling.
