Wordpress because of its easy install. I know it really well and can make it my b*tch. It's open source and has a HUGE community, good docs and a short learning curve. Though WP might get replaced by EE2.0 when it comes out. I think I know the CodeIgniter framework well enough to make EE my bitch

Not sure about that, Mo. The updates always go flawlessly for me. Nowadays, it updates in a few clicks. Don't even have to download/upload stuff anymore.

My webhost, Dreamhost, has one click installation for wordpress. the thing i wish I could take from Word Press and import to my favorite CMS? Password protection for posts.

- Mo Kargas
Yeah, I've never had issues with updates. If you install from Dreamhost (I use them too), you can upgrade with one click from your Dreamhost dashboard, but current versions of WP have one-click upgrading right from within the WP admin dashboard, too. Plugins, too, one-click upgrades. Super easy.

I don't think so; I've never tried. Technically you could make it LOOK like you were running multiple blogs by using categories and template tags, but it would require a lot of theme customization. But it's free, so it's not like it costs more to run more than one installation. I have at least five or six running on my domain (running different sites in folders and subdomains). Plus a...

I enjoyed it. It's more atmospheric than anything so I was able to forgive Wyatt Cenac's acting as Micah. I found it hard to believe that any person would find him desirable to be around (he's creepy and caustic with only very fleeting moments of charm). It felt like a short story about a moment in time and it was emotionally honest as well as culturally smart. If there's an allegory for our "mashup" sensibilities of the Naughties, as Tiffany has got me now using, it's this tale.
- Jason Toney
Jenkins created a world in this film. Because it was a world that is seldom seen, I forgave the characters' shortcomings as well. I didn't only think Micah was unappealing, though - I thought the female character spent way too much of the film with her nose turned up like she was smelling something bad. Still, I hated when the movie was over, because I wanted to spend more time in their atmosphere.

"Today Solange Knowles, future indie songstress––she's just severed ties with her major label, Interscope, has said she aspires to have a career like Bjork's, and allegedly turned her sis and Jay-Z on to Grizzly Bear––sent her cover of the Dirty Projectors' "Stillness Is The Move" to Pitchfork, and from there it spread like wildlife."

Solange is totally different than Beyonce. Different voice, different attitude. She's the total antithesis of Beyonce, which I really like.

I like Solange's spunk. from what I've seen of her live, her voice is a bit delicate. She needs to be produced just right. this is a good direction for her.

""Blackest Night" was exactly what the doctor ordered - that is, if you’re Doctor Fate, Mid-Nite or Thirteen. Not so much if you’re Doctor Strange. In October, for the first time in more than a decade, DC Comics locked up the top six spots for monthly sales, according to figures released by Diamond Comic Distributors. And five of the six titles were "Blackest Night"-related, including the highest ranking title of the month, "Blackest Night" #4. While "Captain America: Reborn" #4 will no doubt find its way into the Top 3 for November (the top-selling Marvelminiseries didn’t ship an issue in October), there are no signs DC’s lantern-fueled sales juggernaut will slow in the months ahead. Especially when DC is flooding the market with a sea of multi-colored rings in this month, each one being released with a "Blackest Night" tie-in book and representing one of the corps at war in the series. Last week, retailers were shipped Yellow Lantern (Sinestro Corps) rings to sell with issues of "Doom Patrol" #4, and the pre-release buzz stirred by the promotion delivered for that title."

It's funny how DC and Marvel leapfrog each other over the decades. When I grew up, DC was laughable. My ex-bf was 13 years older than me and DC was king when he grew up. When DC started kicking Marvel's ass, it was hard for me to get used to thinking of DC as better even though I certainly felt it was. Now this article says it's been over a decade since DC beat Marvel handily in sales. Maybe this is all a sign that I've lived too long...
- Spidra Webster
DC has very strong properties, but they've had some less than stellar management in their superhero titles. The one thing DC still has its titles matter more in the longterm because of all the Alan Moore and Vertigo titles. Marvel has Criminal, New X-Men and Alias which are all good, but seem scant compared to Swamp Thing, Sandman, Preacher, Sleeper, Losers, Fables, 100 Bullets, V for Vendetta, Watchmen, The Long Halloween, Kingdom Come etc...

Yeah, Spider-Man, Jack Kirby, and Stan Lee notwithstanding, DC still has the most iconic of heroes and the most beloved of writers/runs over time.

Licensing and cross-media development desires. Marvel's...

"These vibrant trays from Zankou Chicken has Beck singing their praises and the Los Angeles Times contending that there's "no better chicken anywhere." As the fast food industry continues to expand, catering to more health-conscious foodies, Southern California chain Zankou Chicken is redefining the concept with its fresh Mediterranean cuisine. Renowned for its roasted chicken and pita bread baked on the premises, the chain also offers hummus, shawerma, falafel and a variety of kebabs, using 100 percent fresh products -- no cans, freezers, microwaves or preservatives -- and only the "finest ingredients." But it's the secret Lebanese garlic sauce that's got Southern Californians hooked, a zesty combination of garlic, olive oil, lemon and potato, for texture, that has customers dipping in just about any item on the menu -- and proving that fast food may rise above the typical greasy-spoon burger joints of the past."

I've lived in LA nearly ten years, but I've never had the infamous Zankou.

This is something that must be corrected.
- Jason Toney
A suggestion: Go to the one in Burbank of Glendale. The one's in Hollywood and Pasadena have severely declined in quality. When we lived in Hollywood, we'd get a chicken from Moishe's or the Lebanese place on Sunset near Cahuenga and get the garlic sauce from Zankou.

"It's the "calm little moments" that elevate Leon above and well beyond the plethora of both "Hitman" action-oriented movies and most any general Action picture out there. Director Luc Besson's (The Fifth Element) magnum opus blends hard-hitting action with both revenge-oriented drama and heartfelt sincerity in the film's superbly-developed relationship between killer and child."
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
Leon is an exceptional film on every level: thematically, emotionally, and technically. The star of the film isn't the action but rather the meaning behind it, an engrossing look at the loss of innocence, the quest for vengeance, and the search for purpose in life. Few Action films cover such a broad spectrum of emotion as Leon, and its deeper philosophical overtones are supported by a...

"In last night's promisingly paranoid episode of V, we learned more about the alien resistance movement - as well as what V leader Anna thinks of humanity. In this terrifically creepy scene, the slick, beautiful Anna makes it obvious how she plans to exploit humanity. By playing to our natural desire to submit. Oh, and also by torturing humans using mind control, which we catch a brief glimpse of when a human prisoner of the V is made to see snakes writhing all over his body. What Anna doesn't bargain on is that humans also have a ferociously strong desire to resist submission - and it turns out that desire is catching, since some of the V agents on Earth have gone race traitor and joined the human resistance."

"Chad the TV anchor also gave us a look at the darker side of the V, who call him up to the ship for a sharp talking-to after he airs a debate between pro- and anti-V pundits. He thinks that he's got the V on the defensive now, but we shall see. I'm looking forward to seeing where this show is going. Especially now that Dale has awakened, all healed up and human-looking, on the V ship."

Elizabeth Mitchell is pretty solid as the lead. The teens storyline is all kinds of weak sauce (although the V teen (liz?)) is kind of mesmerizing to look at. I like how quickly it's turned into a conspiracy story.

- Derrick
I just printed this! Rumor says it's on sale this week for $19.98 at Walmart, so the total with the coupon would be only $9.98.

From what I hear, it's full price at Best Buy (34.99) but if you ask for the Wal-Mart/Frye's price they will ring it up as 19.99 and you can still use your coupon.

Fred Meyer stores also have an in-store coupon for a free box of Rice Krispies with the purchase of the Blu-Ray version DVD. And this past week's Sunday ad had a coupon for 15% off any DVD. The price there is $29.99 so minus 15% is $25.50 minus $10 coupon is $15.50. Plus free cereal!
- Rochelle
Okay, so I went to Best Buy and got both Up (the Blu-Ray 4 DVD set) and Monsters Inc. (also Blu-Ray) and my grand total ws $29.06. The DVDs have stickers on them that say they are regularly $34.99 each.

Johnny Worthington always hears when I post an "OMG help me!" kind of thing, and he usually responds with the most absurd and sweet message. Also, he has haiku battles with me, which is all kinds of WIN. Mark W and Fierce Lindsay make me smile, and Mark VandenBerg makes me LOL. And there are so many other sweet and funny and clever people who fill my day here on FriendFeed... thank you to everyone!
- Ladybug Heather
I love the wit of many but must say MVB can make me spit drinks at the glance of his posts.
- Janet
I don't even know where to begin. There are so many people who I love for different reasons. Hmmm..My LAers (Derrick, Amani, Derrick, Anika, Monique, Edythe) because they are always cooler than cool. My New Yorkers (Mona and Cee Bee) because they bring the versatility. My mothers (Abby, Rochelle, Jen, Katie) because they always remind me how great is it to be a mom. RAPatton because...

That's OK, Shevonne. I'm sure it will come to you. :D

You see....Steven Perez because he's funny as hell, and then there is Yolanda cause she is one of the sweetest EVER. Ugghhh too many. This is like giving an acceptance speech. =D
- Shevonne
Not me! I was talking about Mike Nayyar. He's so lonely in his dumpster. :D

I enjoy everyone, but like Thomas Hawk's photos and philosophies the most, and learn more from Louis Gray than anyone else.
- jcunwired
Returning the love to Amani and Abby -- you guys are two of the most honest and kindest souls on FF. Others: RAPatton probably doesn't have a single mean bone in him (ok, poor choice of words there), I could watch Dobromir's feed all day long, Shevonne is a ray of FF sunshine, Akiva is just flat out funny
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
There are so many people here that make being here worthwhile that I cannot single out just one. You guys all rock in your own special ways.
- Alex Scoble
I LOVE ROBERT SCOBLE! ~ just not in that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
- sofarsoShawn
Awww thanks Shey! My favorite Jamaican. There is Pea, my fellow DCer who is one of the most genuine peeps up in here!
- Shevonne
I love interacting with all the smart, funny FFolks on here! Too many to name, but among my favorites are: Lindsey (the Fierce), Rochelle/Akiva/Audrey, Derrick, Ladybug and Scott, Jim J, RAPatton, Tina (the Enigmatic)... You all rock my world!
- Laura id stubbed ub.
ceebee and RAPatton post the most interesting stuff. and even if he wasn't my boo, i'd still be all up in JT's feed for his pop culture and politics mix. love their stuff
- tiffany
there are many friendfeeders i feel particularly warmly to because something of their inner self is always coming out: Michael W. May (who has always been at the top of the list), Morton Fox, Anika/Faboo Mama, Yolanda, rap, Cecily, Tad, Akiva, Rochelle, Lindsey, Lindsay D., Beeling, Rodfather, Ginger Makela, Mark Trapp, Ceebee, Shevonne, Abby Martin, Jandy, Zach Landes, Nathan Rein,...

The community / user base of friendfeed is one of the biggest reasons that these days, I'm spending more time on friendfeed versus twitter. I love you all, even the people that annoy me from time to time.
- Jeremy
and even yuvi, despite the fact that he used to call me Old Woman. :) and Donna Mugavero and Joanmarie and Michelle Martinez... and Silpol (now A.T.) and oh my gosh PARTH!!!! :)
- edythe
and oh my gosh Shey and his jaw-droppingly lovely wife Jasmin... i like Robert Scoble, too, because he always seems upfront to me and never mean.
- edythe
Additions - Cee Bee for highest quality posts consistently, Ebrahimi for pictures and translating squiggly for me, Iain for celebrity without celebrity tude, Jessie and Soup most socially conscious posts, Tina for being FF spirit leader, Lindsey online 24hours day, Anne and Jim for getting me here. :)
- Steve C
I 'like' Tyson Key! And a bow toward Trish Haley, thanks for making me blush. Speaking of Haleys, Trish, Josh, and Morgan have all become favorites of mine. MVB makes me laugh like a fool, as does relative newbie Valley... he is one funny dude! Gosh, all these names are coming to mind! I'll probably have to comment more later. But for this go-round I will close by saying... if Carmen ever stops posting those daily mug shots, I'm going offline!
- Jim Hearts FF
Oh, and to Monique who I guess I am not subsribed to... you completely win for putting up this post. What an excellent, excellent gift to the community!
- Jim Hearts FF
I gotta' send some love out to the original band of hooligans who got me hooked on FF: edythe, RAP, Brandon, MWM, Louis Gray & Robert Scoble. You guys filled my world with gobs of geekiness and great interaction on SO MANY different levels. Thanks for making my addiction to FF possible. Of course, now there are so many, many, many others who help to keep me here. I can't even begin to name you all.
- Lisa L. Seifert
PS: Thanks for putting up with my Twitter-heavy stream while I'm in school for this year. Eventually, I'll have time to interact more again. xoxo
- Lisa L. Seifert
Alix is a wonderful caring wife who tolerates me and my annoying sleeping/eating/battlestar watching habits. I is lucky.
- Shawn Whitmire
I love Akiva for bringing the comedy and the pain. I love Derrick for being as real in the OSH parking lot as he is on FF. I love Monique for being the Pied Piper of the interwebz and helping me recover my sanity. I love James for being so gently poetic. I love Rahsheen for the soft porn videos he always takes in bed. I love Johnny Worthington for being such a cuddle muffin of hair and vulgarity. I love Steven Perez for being a quicker wit than me and nicer than me all at once.
- nakachi
I love Kaia for the name Baronnes Von Cut A Bitch. I love Robin (bcultural) for the science and the nation building. I love Logical Extremes and Rodfather for their quiet affirmations that never go unnoticed. I love Helen for the virtual daps she gives me whether I'm flying or firing. I love Anna Haro for all the little hearts she sends my way <3 to you, too, honey girl.

It would take too long for me to put all my 328 subscriptions in here! If I'm following you, rest assured that you and your content matter to me. :)

I love Rochelle 'cause momminess becomes her. And I love YOU!
- nakachi
Nakachi's Facebook status updates blow my mind
- Rodfather
I love this thread. We need an effing FF CONVENTION.
- Derrick
This past week has not been a very good one for me and I might have lost it completely if it hadn't been for Johnny, Steven and Derrick for all dropping their pants for me. I love that there are people on here, that I have never met, that care enough to make me laugh when I am feeling way crappy. <3 And of course there are more, just giving props to those that made me feel better this week :) MWAH!
- Penny
Also, Nia for her beautiful photos and Mo for making me laugh too :)
- Penny
I'm ready for more. I love Nia for her kindness and her pictures. I love me some g.warbucks 'cause she's brilliant AND pretty to look at. I love tiffany for sharing the good, the bad and the tipsy. I love Chris Weige for keeping art on my mind. I love that the people who subscribe to me give a damn about what I have to say enough to take the time to read me. I'm grateful.

I had no idea when I started this thread that it would blow up like this. I think this is a clear example of the value of friendfeed: the relationships we build. Sure, we have differing interests, politics, social situations and opinons, but at the end of the day, what we come here for are the people. No one exists in a vacuum, and if they did, they probably wouldn't have a friendfeed...

It is hard to pick a single person but as stated...you all bring me much needed laughter. I especially LOVE the ladies room girls - you bring the essence of love. Thank you so much.

Personally, I think Akiva Moskovitz rocks. He's one of the main reasons why I use FriendFeed. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't even be here.
- Akiva Moskovitz
not to sound too much like a Mutual Admiration Society, but edythe's feed was what got me hooked on this place. :-D
- Karim
Ha, there are too many awesome people here to list and compliment individually; but Denton Gentry, Kevin Johnson, and Morton Fox are all awesome and extremely skilled techies!
- i80and
The FF founders and employees rock pretty hard too thanks Paul, Bret, Jim, Anna etc
- Steve C
Lindsay D. and Kol Tregaskes are kind and respectful even when disagreeing with someone. Civility like that deserves a mention because it is not often the norm in the online world.
- Jim Hearts FF
Penny for her personality and her self portraits which are awesome and so real!<3 Dobromir, Richard and Michael who always wishes good morning ^^. Manuela, because of her sense of style what becomes to art, also a very lovely person! Nakachi, Girl, you rock my world! Stay as you are - you are wonderful! L4S who is so much fun and amazing person :) Will, cause of his kindness and cause...

Everybody already mentioned in this thread, plus Meryn and Joelle for being really smart and inquisitive about some of things I find particularly interesting, too. Or at least the way they discuss them. Not that I don't think that way about the rest of you, just no one had mentioned them yet.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
Jim, yeah there's no need to be bitchy while disagreeing. Get your point over but don't be nasty about it. :-)

Mo Kargas for his awesomeness. (I hope that by honoring great killer robots my death shall be quick and painless once they take over the world)
- Jemm
i80and for his Linux postings, FFing Enigma for roller derbying, Mo Kargas because... the giant robot intimidates me.

echostreamer has solid integrity and calls me on my sh!t - highly appreciated

How did I miss thread? It needs a comeback. Thank you LB for the bump. If you think I might know who you are, the odds are high I love you and thank you for being around (even if you have moved on, in which case you won't see this, but it is important to mention nonetheless) and thank you for letting me into your lives a little bit *hugs*
- Michael W. May
I didn't see this the first time round either (but it looks like I was in NYC when this was happening). I have friends who I knew before FF for whom friendfeed has allowed me to know better and there are folks like RAP, edythe, and MwM whose posting and conversation have enriched my life and ignited my imagination. Thanks kids. And, of course, I love Sneezy but FF had little to do with that.
- Jason Toney
I really admire Kol Tregaskes, he's always informative and gets involved quite a bit with almost everything. Quite the most selfless individual I ever came across on the net :) ... Also Holden Page impresses me everyday because he's a younger individual with tons of interest in several subjects that most older users usually get into, he shows he's not afraid to learn and keep his...

I've met a lot of great people here on FF (I won't single anyone out). This is a diverse community that has brought some great conversations that simply could not have been done with a little blue bird and whale.

Holly Rae is the biggest FF'in promoter within a hundred mile radius of my chair. :)
- Laura (hear me raura?)
I can't really say much about anyone specific, other than ya'll are the greatest and have helped amuse me through some very hard times over the past year or so, and a special thanks with much love goes out to Amber, the Random Time Lord for introducing me to FF and for putting up with me for this long.
- Tsali, The Native of FF
I totally like Louis Gray - Mike Fruchter - RAPatton - Worthington - CS Techcast - and tons of other people - thanks for making my use of FF enjoyable.

My turn... Laura (hear my raura) for putting up with me talking about FF endlessly on days like 'the day FB bought FF'

Thanks to Shea for being generous with time and resources. He invited me to Google Wave.

Thanks to Josh Haley & Johnny for creating a podcast that rocks and clued me in to so many things about FF.

I have no idea who most of these people are.

We saw Michael Cera on the street Saturday. He's got a tiny head.

LOL, I wasn't anywhere near the red carpet most of the time. I did see Christina Ricci and Justin Long arrive at the premiere of After.Life on Saturday and was in the second row for their Q&A. She is TINY.

I almost told this old white lady at Home Depot that she was being a bitch to the sales clerk the other day, but I had to ask myself what kind of energy I'd be putting out there by saying that. But OMG, she was being a real got damn See You Next Tuesday.
