Err yes, movies. But still, my memory from my youth is foggy, but I always assumed that was who they were modeled after. It seemed so obvious.

One of Detroit's most beloved rock'n roll roadies, Joe Scharf aka Meatcannon died unexpectedly this past June, leaving an enormous hole in the hearts of Michigan's music community. ... Known for his unshakeable dedication, strong work ethic , and raucous sense of humor, Meatcannon led band tours to SXSW (Austin, Texas), the legendary CBGB's (New York), Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Hollywood's Viper Room, in addition to festivals all over the country. ...
"Recent “coronal mass ejection” (solar flares) have caused a huge burst in Northern Light activity and I wish I were far enough north to see them – but Travis Novitsky is lucky enough – he’s in Grand Portage, Minnesota and got to witness a beautiful Northern Light show (Aurora) the other night."

Hayırlı olsun!! Keep up the good work, guys :)

Nicholas, I'm not sure about it. Most probably in a few weeks, it seems nobody wants to use this in the US, so maybe we will never launch for UK. Even Turkish people are using it a lot but American friends haven't liked it. We included launching for Iran in our plans.

I read that as FFS MS rather than FF SMS - I liked mine more ;-)

That's great! Now I'll just wait till they have it in the Netherlands as well - or move to the states, whichever comes first ;)
- James Kuypers
@James I've no idea about how many of FriendFeed users are from Netherlands or other European countries. I think Russia and UK are the at the 1st and 2nd place about FriendFeed usage. Do you have any idea?

I did that, but I was heading vertical, school had a vaulted ceiling and I went running, stepped on a chair right were it dropped, on impact both shoes fell off, one hit a guy in the face.

If I weren't afraid of going right through the wall, I'd probably still try that. I know I would have done that (and did similar things quite often) when I was much younger.

Their priorities do not match my priorities as a (reluctant) Twitter user. I admit that this is, however, a largely self-centered rant :)
- Adam Lasnik
I've seen your "rants" before. What are your priorities then? (just curious). Do you use twitter for work purposes -something like networking, or just to keep in touch with friends?
- Claudia Petrilli
Actually, I don't use Twitter much except to (admittedly selfishly) broadcast many of my Friendfeed posts. I would have conversations on there (as apparently many others happily do), but find it to be a painfully painful medium for communications since there's no threading; it's hard to tell what any particular person is responding to, and everyone sees every conversation regardless of...
more...
- Adam Lasnik
I would use Twitter more if it natively let me group friends, just as I do on Facebook and Friendfeed, so I could -- for instance -- create a "must read" list so I can tackle a part of my Twitter stream without feeling overwhelmed, and read other pieces of my twitter stream if/when I have time.
- Adam Lasnik
EXACTLY - usability Fail augh. Twitter needs to hire a Product Manager like last year
- Susan Beebe
yeah, the threading -or lack thereof, is quite the problem. It is very annoying not knowing what people are replying to. Facebook had sort of the same problem with the wall which they solved by enabling comments on wall posts. I like FriendFeed much better (thank you Adam) but unfortunately only a handful of friends are here. Alas, if I want to know what my friends are up to I will have to keep checking twitter :P wait, that didn't come out right... it sounded like I am stalking my friends.... LOL
- Claudia Petrilli
One question, though. Why do you have to use twitter to broadcast four FF posts? is it because most of your contacts/friends are on twitter and not on FF and otherwise they would not see them?
- Claudia Petrilli
Adam - you're looking for filters :) Lack of any sort of organization on twitter is phenomenally annoying
- Susan Beebe
Claudia, well, you could always add your important Twitter friends as invisible Friendfeed friends. It's been a while since I tried that, though, so I forget the exact steps, sorry :(. And yes, I broadcast many of my FF posts on Twitter because, well, I have 2301 followers on Twitter and 993 followers here on Friendfeed (despite my repeated efforts to convince the Twitter followers to jump to the superior service :D). And Susan, yep!
- Adam Lasnik
Invisible friends? I'll have to look into that

"Oxford scientists have created a transparent form of aluminium by bombarding the metal with the world’s most powerful soft X-ray laser. 'Transparent aluminium' previously only existed in science fiction, featuring in the movie Star Trek IV, but the real material is an exotic new state of matter with implications for planetary science and nuclear fusion."

I know, martha! Just think of the high Gs they can pull in a water tank. We've thought about putting humans in water tanks for high G acceleration, but now we don't have to. If only we could teach them to snort spice, the universe will be ours!

Welcome Baby Ryan!!! My baby Ryan (17 years!) and I are honored to welcome another superstar to our planet! Love, hugs, and lots of kisses to Baby Ryan, Mommy Maryam, Dad Robert and big brothers Milan & Patrick and of course Grandma!!! My guess on Ryan's arrival (predication) was only 23 hours off. I thought he would arrive on Friday, Sept. 18th at 11:45 pm. Love to all, Kelly & Ryan Kim

What a moment, eh? I remember when my daughter came into this world, it was so exciting there were no words for it. Congrats on your wonderful baby boy!

Congratulations! Welcome to the world, Ryan. :-)

Congratulations Robert and Maryam! And welcome Ryan. If I was having a baby today, I'd begin a blog for him/her straight away as an online diary they could look back on when grown up.
