I beat Hadley at Bananagrams! Best word game for non-word people. I won with "ef" -- only recently learned that letters have a spelling.
@foxhollowhaunt I have a video camera with a night mode. You are welcome to borrow it. Let me know.

@katiejstanton Just saw a room in MTV-B46 that is booked by you from 11-12. Mind if we take it? :)
I was thinking about the health care debate this weekend and realized that healthcare is BY FAR the #1 reason I wouldn't want to go back to running my own company. Not earth shattering... but made me feel even more strongly that I don't want to have to worry about health care. I hope real change is possible.

I also don't want to have to worry about my parents health care (both my parents are unemployed and one has no coverage at all). I try not to think about how I'd feel if they got sick and went bankrupt.
- Michael Leggett
I'm the same way. I don't want to start a small business because I'd have to deal with health care somehow.
- Amit Patel
Isn't that what things like Administaff are for? If you pay enough, you don't have to worry. :)
- τorƍue
What does "pay enough" equal? I have a wife and a kid on the way... can I really afford to pay for full health insurance on my own? My mom sure can't find affordable health insurance... but maybe she hasn't looked hard enough?
- Michael Leggett
If your startup has more than a few employees, you're eligible for reasonable group plans. We had good health care at FriendFeed. You just need to hire an Ana to make it all happen.

Looking forward to seeing Gizmodo's (L)ove / (H)ate live poll in action during today's Apple event: http://live.gizmodo.com
Found out we're having a BOY yesterday. Very excited. Clueless as to what we'll name him. Have a suggestion? Go to http://mhl.us/babyname/

'Brent Groovy Zombie Leggett'?
- Amit Patel
The name I came up with this weekend: Theodore Rex Leggett. Shortens to both T-rex and Teddy-Rux(pin). Rex might stick as our in-utero nick name.
- Michael Leggett
Congrats!! Those in-utero nicknames have a way of sticking around. We started calling our soon-to-be-born son Sam and it stuck. That's officially going to be his name now.
- Michael Hocter
I think T-rex would be a pretty awesome name... how can you possibly pick on a kid named T-rex?!?
- Michael Leggett
Since the FriendFeed crew started at Facebook, my posts don't get likes or comments any more. Is it me? Or did my subscribers leave? Or maybe my posts only got liked / commented on because a FriendFeeder would comment/like exposing my posts to thousands more.

It might be "B". I bet we can try to help if we push you in better lists. Also, there doesn't seem to be too much frequency to the posts, making expectations irregular. I see the last note from Friday, and prior to that, Sept. 1.
- Louis Gray
With the filter settings I use, I really only saw SXSW posts from you, and I wasn't interested in those. Sorry!
- Amit Patel
I also noticed a huge drop in activity in many of my lists. Less posts, but even less comments and likes. I find very few good discussions every day - before, every item in my Best of list had at least 10 comments, now, some of them have none :(
- Jérôme Flipo
I haven't posted much since this post (which was posted on Sept 1). I've never been a super active user, but I'd say that 1 out of ever 4 posts got at least one comment or like which is the whole reason to post (to start and engage in conversations). If my posts aren't getting much traction, than I am less inclined to keep coming back to comment and like on other people's posts.
- Michael Leggett
@Louis Thanks for commenting btw. :)
- Michael Leggett
@Amit Sorry for all the spam on my SXSW panel. I promise no more... at least not until March!
- Michael Leggett
I noticed the same thing, but I also had a shift in focus after the FF crew left. I shifted away from addiction to FF to a business focus.

Followed! Once people know you're on the gmail team and are posting things like real-time updates about gmail bugs and gmail outages, I bet you get a lot more subscribers in short order. And with more subscribers you'll get more interaction here.
- Stephen Mack
I just subscribed! I'm suitably impressed, now that Sephen's outed you as a gmail guy - The gmail guy, some might say - although I have a feeling I'm mangling whatever cliche that's supposed to be. But now that you're in my feed I promise to comment on whatever you post. I do find, though, with my own posts, that almost nobody reacts to them. But if I have a particularly pithy or cogent...

The bar should be the same no matter where you work. A good idea / post / comment can come from anywhere. :) There should be some way to build up (or lose) credit as a poster and have then some good ranking based on those ratings.
- Michael Leggett
Actually I think FF is more than fair, especially when we're all just disembodied voices in the wind. But human nature being what it is, my actual thought (before editing) was that the bar is higher not so much for 'not a Googler' - we're pretty good about that - but for 'fat broad from Missouri' which I censored because fat broad is actually not something I've really broadcast loud and clear before, here.

Enjoying great music discovery engine @thesixtyone. Found @TheRescues today. Some interesting interactions -- check it out for ui and music.
