I'd really like to see Leo Laporte do a talk-soup type show, that summarizes the best of all the TWiT network shows, doing clips, with banter in between by one of the producers who's putting it together. It could be called This Week At TWiT.

Is it considered bad form to wear these as regular shoes, like around the office?
- Andy Bakun
It's generally considered bad form to be comfortable in an office (especially if you're female), so if these shoes are normally comfortable, I'd say so.

Kevin, my feet and legs (other than the skin) feel fine, though we'll see how things are tomorrow. I ordinarily wear flip flops and also spent a little time thinking about how to run barefoot, so I was at least a little prepared. I'm not much of a runner, but it felt easier than it normally is.

If you're chafing on the heels, and they're not too big, then the prescribed answer is special 5 finger socks. My brother called them and that was what they told him anyway.
- Piaw Na
Piaw, I think they are too big. The "right" size felt a little more snug than I like, so I went one size larger, which may have been a mistake. I did buy the toe socks, but just didn't wear them.

Sorry about your feet! I've never seen these before. They look they would be excellent for Martial Arts as well. Are your toes still as flexible in them?

Winston: the FiveFingers lessen the barrier between the ground and your foot, which allows your body to naturally compensate for variations in terrain. Some claim this is healthier and will improve long-term running healthy. Read the book 'Born to Run' for a great story and some provocative science.
- Jason Miller
I bought a pair of the sprints a few weeks ago and had a similar problem, no blood though. I took them back right away and bought the KSOs in a size smaller. For some reason in the women's version, the KSOs run a half size big, might be worth checking it out in the men's if you're concerned about sizing. Also, watch out...I loved running in these so much I doubled my routine and out of...

I bought vibrams a week ago: ran a few miles, went to the gym and wore them all the day; feeling very comfortable, no blood or blisters reported so far (as a disclaimer I usually wander barefoot at home and I am kind of a regular runner). Great also for exercising at the gym as I felt more grounded; on the other hand they are not very suited for driving, too much grip.

Photo Sharing Website Flickr Takes Down Obama Joker Poster | NewsBusters.org - http://newsbusters.org/blogs...
Anthony Citrano, ChiliMac, Lars Clausen and 18 other people liked this
"Yet, a quick search of Flickr found the following: Why wasn't Flickr or Time concerned with copyright issues involving these parodies? Not surprisingly, this isn't the first time Flickr came to Barack Obama's defense: Hawk also blogged about how the site deleted the account of a user named Shepherd Johnson after he made critical comments about Obama in the Official White House Photostream back in June. Is Flickr protecting itself from a lawsuit by Time, or censoring free speech it doesn't agree with? "
- Thomas Hawk
from Bookmarklet
Why is Flickr getting involved period if Time hasn't bitched about it? Which they apparently haven't as seen from the images you chose.
- Andrew Dobrow
apparently Time Magazine covers critical of Bush are ok while Time Magazine covers critical of Obama are a possible "copyright" violation and need to be censored off the site.
- Thomas Hawk
I personally think this is another case of a group trying to help Obama. This has become very common lately with many outlets, especially media oriented ones
- Spencer
There's such a fine line between freedom of speech and copyright violation these days, you'd figure these laws would be more concrete. The line feels gradually more and more blurry.

Wow. Very interesting point Thomas! Ahh free speech.

Time has had seven covers with Obama since the election, 8 if you count Michelle. Plus many more prior to election day. http://newsbusters.org/blogs...

It is ironic that networks (e.g. Fox) and highly influential newpapers such as the WSJ can be anti-Obama to the point of parody and ratings show it works. Now, Flikr is oh so guilty because this crude and arguably racist poster came down. None of the examples shown come anywhere near the implications of the Obama Joker analogy.

Also note that my own exact copy of the image that they pulled down is still up as well on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos...

Who got the $1 on the floor?
- Robert Scoble
you guys have kept the ff service tight from day one: efficient code, optimized servers, resilient backend code, outstanding BOSHiness and obviously on-the-ball ops. No glaring, dumb startup downtime, lost data or huge blog posts explaining how you're sorry about x, y or z screw-up, and will learn from this experience and you have a 10 step plan to avoid screwing-up again and crap about...

I left Twitter for Jaiku. Then Jaiku left me for Google. I moved in with Pownce but it died. I went back to Twitter, but flirted with Plurk, Identica, and Rejaw, and even tried doing it myself with Laconica but it was Twitter I really loved. Twitter finally broke my heart so I left it for Friendfeed. Now Friendfeed is leaving me for Facebook. No...

I think Leo's audience is more likely to click "Like" or "comment" than Scoble's is. When Leo and Rob are both posting on FF, Leo gets more likes and comments
- Mark
Didn't you leave a post earlier saying how funny it was that people complain anytime there's a change (referring to the FF buyout)? This sounds like a complaint to me.
- Fleagle
Not complaining - just thinking about the future. I think a little Friendfeed DNA will vastly improve Facebook. And I think Facebook is already the big winner with the general populace. I also think we geeks need a corner somewhere else to hang out in.

I feel more of a personal connection with the FriendFeed team than I have with other services I've left, and that will be a big part of why I will stay as long as possible.

Its also going to take a very long time to go through content and bookmark/store it elsewhere. Evernote is going to be used heavily in the weeks to come.

Speaking of Days Of Our Lives: Didn't that show jump the shark when the serial killer was unmasked as Marlena (a character I used to have a mad crush on, and who's now mostly a professional victim)? Then all the "killed" characters came back to life, since they were only what I call "soap opera dead"...

I know exactly how you feel. What's a person to do? I am mad at Twitter for suspending some of my accounts. First, the accounts kept causing the password to reset, then they were suspended, all around the time of the DOS attacks. All I ever used Twitter for was to advertise my businesses, and for fun. Now I don't know where to go.

One who you know will always be there even when the chips are down. One who looks like a movie star, but doesn't bust the credit...

I think a lot of people LOVE to think negatively and don't want to think positively. They think FB is BAD and will ruin FF, but I think if they do it well, FB won't be the bad guy. I think most people who are irked about this are irked because they think the FFers "sold out" to the "man".
- Mol, Santa Claws
@Mollyanna - I disagree. I am irked because the future of FF is completely uncertain. It's more likely that FB will let FF flounder and close it down than it is that FB will invest time and resources in maintaining and enhancing FF. FB has other interests and is splitting up the FF dev team. That does not bode well for FF. I don't begrudge the FF devs for taking the money. I would be...
