Thanks Glen. Thomas Hawk is going to be so jealous!
- Robert Scoble
Oh, and EVERYONE on board was having withdrawals. More on that later too!
- Robert Scoble
Was the Nimitz berthed in SD or was she out at sea for your visit? Awesome either way. Thomas isnt the only jealous one. :)
- mike wood
Ah, that's where you are. I thought you were coming to Wordcamp. You aren't missing too much.
- Neal Jansons
I surely would have enjoyed that being an ex navy man, myself.
- Tommy Lane
Mike: she was out at sea. We flew into her and got a FREAKING KILLER tour of the carrier. Spent a lot of time with the Captain and Admiral and saw some shit that would blow your mind.
- Robert Scoble
YOU GOT TO FREAKING LAND ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER!?!? WE'RE NOT WORTHY
- Mistletoe Glen
Mike; we were literally a few feet from F-18's as they were shot off the carrier (and as they landed). Uploading photos now. One thing, it's damn impressive to see the responsibility our country gives 19 year olds.
- Robert Scoble
I've heard the real-time tracking stuff of the movie, Eagle Eye is old technology now - the Patriot Act has been a Government Geek's dream come true for the real-time web. :-)
- Jesse Stay
im really jealous now. I went out on the Star of India in 2004. A tall ship sailing out of SD Bay is pretty cool, but landing on a carrier... fantastic! :D
- mike wood
My husband is an ex-nuke. Yep, it is frightening.
- Heather Solos
I'll keep that in mind if Guy Kawasaki ever calls.
- DGentry
did you get to ride in his sponsored audi? :)
- Allen Stern
I'm pretty sure Guy won't be calling me anytime soon. Or anytime later. lol
- Ken Camp
Ken: all you have to do it become the world's leading expert on All Top.com. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Robert: Ummm our blog is first up at unifiedcommunications.alltop.com since category went live. But I don't place quite the same glory in being classified an expert by Guy/alltop as some. Guy and I simply don't see eye to eye on far too many things. I don't follow him and choose not to engage any more. It's better for my blood pressure. But thanks. :-)
- Ken Camp
This is exactly why blogs aren't dead and twitter isn't going to take over the world. We want to hear all about your trip, Robert, and 140 charecter discontinuity isn't going to cut it.
- Geoff Schaadt
what on earth are you doing on a ship rob?
- David Lloyd
what is your job Robert? i mean, your title, what do you do for a living. I don't mean blogging or twittering. What do your employers pay you do do?
- David Lloyd
Mark: you can see photos of what I was doing on the ship: http://www.flickr.com/photos... (We were visiting as part of a blogger embark that Guy Kawasaki arranged).
- Robert Scoble
ooo how cryptically exciting, cannot wait! I wondered what you were up to travelling all over the world.
- David Lloyd
What do I do for a living? I tour the world interviewing business and tech innovators. Rackspace is paying me to do that because we're building a community of people who are fanatical about the Internet. Really why I'm paid is because I have relationships with many of the people who are building the most interesting web sites. Rackspace hosted YouTube before Google bought them. We are looking for more of those.
- Robert Scoble
Happy Early Birthday. Imagine how cool it would be just do take a few days and go and hang out on a big ship? Shame the pesky real world has to go and spoil everything :p
- David Lloyd
I blame spymaster...they need the firehose!
- Nicholas James
SO is the hope that some of these big upcoming websites might consider using rackspace in the future? You kind of are recruiting big accounts?
- David Lloyd
I love how they called it a "fatal" software error.
- David Lloyd
I also love the real-time updates on FF. When Google Wave comes out we will be able to see each other typing this nonsense in real time character by character!!
- David Lloyd
Mark: Unless you hide the character by character option ;)
- Nicholas James
Thanks to Kevin Fox, who posted an image of the Investigation of Individuals Engaged in Suspicious Photography and Video Surveillance, NYPD Operations Order on FriendFeed this weekend on FriendFeed (click through here for a full sized view). You might remember this order from a posting here last month based on a New York Post article on the order’s issuance. If you are photographer in New York or plan on shooting in New York, I’d highly recommend printing out a copy of this order and carrying it with you. You might find it helpful to have if you are hassled by authority figures over your photography.
