I love Niecie's but I always remove the icing from cakes anyway. My uncle thought I had lost my mind when he saw me do that the cakes we had.

For the most part, I've completely moved over to digital. As an owner of hundreds of DVDs and CDs it was sort of tough initially, but once I made that jump, I haven't gone back. Like you mention, adding new HDDs and backing them up and securing them is so much easier than managing the shelves and boxes where I have to keep all my physical media. The next step is all the video games that...

@Robert Consoles have already begun to offer full retail games via download. Just see the Xbox originals and Burnout for the PS3. The problem still lies in the fact that you will have to download about 5 GBs of data for one game. And I don't think that the bandwidth will be sufficient enough for most people for at least another two cycles.

Great post again Mona! I see Twitter as more microblog than megaphone. If the said example has their mind set on twitter being a personal blog, what's wrong with that? Additionally, does that FOAF have their microblog in the employers eye? I doubt it!
- Mo Kargas
Mo: Google is very dangerous. Especially if you're in the tech industry...
- Mona Nomura
Great point to be made.
- Chris Brogan
Thank you, Chris. Wow.

Mona: I don't think Google indexes tweets? I don't think it's a problem unless you've purposely got your microblog in your employers eye and mention specifics of the job, otherwise it's simply another anonymous microblog in the crowd.

@Mona Hmm, is that just because I mentioned Techmeme? :D Point noted
- Mo Kargas
Here it is. Asking again: Informative or Irresponsible?
- Mona Nomura
"Just today, I saw a bunch of Tweets from a FOAF (friend of a friend) detailing work, client, and vendor relations." How much of this is FF's responsibility in providing more granular control over what FOAF and other information we want to see from the firehose? Also, I think many are utterly clueless as to the reach of the FOAF relays and some would be horrifically offended that their content is reflected beyond the first-order circle they understand and explicitly linked up with.
- michael silverton
"tweets represent who we are" nicely put. so what does our FF feeds represent when tweets are just a subset of it?
- ~C4Chaos
@C4Chaos Just now processing that very question; foraging for my own analogies. I'm sure others have them and I'd very much like to hear them if ppl willing to share. However, I don't fully agree that "tweets represent who we are." That seems a hugely presumptuous leap to make about people from 140char nano-samples of a complete human being; complete human beings with a vast range of grammatical and other abilities.
- michael silverton
Part 2: I can of course debunk myself with: Tweets are text representations of thoughts; however artfully or ineptly expressed. Thoughts are electrochemical spikes; empirically. In a substrate-independent context, those excitatory and inhibitory spikes are arguably the Totality of Our Cognitive Existence. So it's certainly not a bad idea to get used to in the context of a posthuman trajectory. ;-)

- felix
HAHAHA. Wow, I thought I was insane this weekend looking for old laptops with XP on them. [sings] "You are not alone...I am here with you.
- Anika
@felix: I think the point is that acquiring an old computer for the sole purpose of salvaging a copy of XP is cheaper than downgrading from Vista. So an old computer + XP = cheaper than Vista + downgrading to XP (not cheaper than the new computer + downgrading). Not as "duh" as it seems.
- Jan Dawson
this is funny
- Susan Beebe
If those used computers were originally bundled with WinXP OEM aren't they *not* transferable (legal technicality-wise)?

Micah is right. I went for the Vista + downgrade because the XP on my dead HP wasn't transferable to a non HP computer.

I think flickr really should. With all the uncertainty with Yahoo, it'd be good to have that direct connection with facebook, which is a photo site in itself. BUT I personally enjoy my flickr photos and facebook photos being separate.

+1 Mattie. I have really struggled with the Facebook/Flickr divide. It's nice that I can get my recent Flickr uploads in my news feed, but it's awful confusing to people to click my "Photos" tab and have stuff from last Thanksgiving there.

Chris, trust me, I wish that were a viable option. I've invested a lot of time into that network -- I've been at it since late 2004. I still find value in making connections through it, it's just a shame that their tools have failed to really advance.

@Prolific: I don't know if it's a conspiracy but I know that you don't stop pedaling when you get close to the top of a mountain (I'm a cyclist). Instead you keep going as hard as you can and pedal through the top and only let up when you're actually going down the hill. The shorter version: Let's not get cocky.

On the one hand, it was a totally plausible story — a lot of publicly controlled funds have divested. And on the other hand, it would be bizarre to tell such a straightforward lie.
