Paul Buchheit's blog should have a line at the top, saying, "Dude, I invented friggin' GMail. Have you heard of it?"
Oh my God. That is so hilarious. - niniane
Get a clue dude! - Susan Beebe
YES - Josh Haley
I second that. (huh. I had already Liked this and remember doing so, but which year was it?) - Micah
Or maybe at the beginning of the Comments section, just as a warning not to say anything too awfully stupid. ;-) - Mary B: #TeamMonique

For the person who has everything:

What if they already have one of those? - Sue - Friendfeed is best
Quick, make an app! (I always thought the red gem guy was unfairly treated.) - Andrew C (✓)
Since the person already has "everything", that would include them already having a button that says "I have everything" on it, thus it would have probably made more sense to give them a button that says "nothing" on it, but since they have "everything", they probably have that one as well... - Ciro Villa
What the person who has everything really needs... is storage space. - DGentry
If someone has everything then you can't give them anything because it would, by definition, already be theirs. - Kevin Fox

My friends just launched a startup that makes it easy to find movers, painters, childcare, etc. Give it a try and let us know what you think: http://www.vavoca.com/. They also made a cute video: http://www.youtube.com/watch... (all startups should have cute videos)

It's designed around "gig" type work instead of long-term employment. Here is the complete list of categories: http://www.vavoca.com/categor... - Paul Buchheit
at the #crunchup August Capital party I talked to the CEO of Twitvid, Adil Lalani, he was raving about the great results from work he's shopped out through oDesk vs other "gig" type sites - Brian Hendrickson
Sounds good. I need to find a husband who will put things on the wall and fix broken dressers, etc. Or I could just get a handyman. - Louis Gray
EVERY link on the category page - http://www.vavoca.com/categor... gives a "We're sorry, but something went wrong." :( - Space Cowboy
That's odd -- they work for me. I'll send them a message about it. - Paul Buchheit
Nice, I'm looking for a mover right now. - EricaJoy
Looking for a painter right now, so going to give this a shot - Dolapo Falola
Yay Chad! - niniane
Definitely timely - Charlie Anzman
So this is what Chad's been working on? I never knew! - Gabe
Chad's been working?!? - Amit Patel
The closest people to where I am are over 3900 miles away :-). Cute video though :-) - John Mueller
Cute videos are a must for startups :) hehe - Susan Beebe
I just tried it. I love the idea, but the results I'm getting aren't that great. Here's my search for a plumber in Nashville TN http://www.vavoca.com/search... - Andrew
Nice going, Chad! Is Chad on FF? - Clare Dibble
We are working on populating the categories and hope to reach other area like Nashville soon. Mostly our efforts initially are focused on the Bay Area for proximity reasons, but there is nothing preventing providers and jobs to post in other areas as well. We would appreciate any marketing help in other city's through word of mouth, facebook, etc. - Drea Lester
Thanks for the bug report Space Cowboy, we have it resolved now. By the way...any relation to THE Space Cowboy? http://www.spacecowboys.org/ Very sad no mid day parties this year on the Playa. - Drea Lester
Drea Lester - no problem. About the name, let's just say I liked 'Happy Feet' a lot. :) - Space Cowboy

Overheard: "We care about two things: speed and quality. And the quality we care about is speed."
Where did you overhear this? - niniane
@niniane: On an internal mailing list. Someone mentioned a previous manager having said this at one point. As much time as I spend trying to wrestle browsers into some semblance of acceptable performance, this struck a chord with me :) - Joel Webber

Awesome!! - Pixie
I think I'd go out on it. Maybe. Looks pretty awesome. Love seeing the little girl with no fear. Little kids would zip around fearlessly in jet packs if we had em. - iTad

You probably couldn't get me to go further than the 5th floor, let alone, the 103rd floor, plus out on a glass floor hanging over the city. Sorry Mr Wonka, but I'll take the stairs. - Tim Young
I hope they keep a cleaning crew or a mop handy. - George Brickner

1 order California roll, 1 order Tai (red snapper), 2 orders Copper River salmon, 1 order Unagi - April Buchheit from email
Hah. Are you on the Copper River train now, too? MMmmmmMMMMmmmmMM! - Kevin Fox
mmmmmmmmmmm - AJ Batac
Copper River has its own train? - Gabe
I love sushi! Looks yummy! - Julianne
I've been coveting copper river salmon for many years now ever since Paul teased me with stories of copper river salmon being served in Charlie's cafe and how it's served only once a year (and it has to be at the right time of year, too, when the salmon is just about to travel up the river and they're still loaded with salmon fatty goodness). Now, if I could also have some of Charlie's fabled bacon cheeseburger soup... - April Buchheit
I am so jealous, stupid baby growing in my belly keeping me from eating raw fish :) - Georgia
Georgia it will taste that much better when you finally do. I didn't eat sushi while my wife was pregnant out of a sense of fairness. When we finally had it again it was absolutely fabulous. - DGentry
How could the Japanese build up such a large population if it's so dangerous to have sushi while pregnant? - Gabe
Salmon! :) - Mike Reynolds
Sushi! - Charlie Anzman

It's midnight, so it's official: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY DAVE! We were secretly married in a local park 4 yrs ago. I was flying to Argentina for a month the next day, so we each said that the other one slipped 'wedding' on the massive to-do list. I can't imagine my life without you babe, and as always: may the best of our past be the worst of our future.
Hey happy bday! - Eric - seven eleven

Synthetic Diamonds: Engagement Ring With Only Lab-Created Diamonds - http://syntheticdiamondfan.blogspot.com/2009...
Synthetic Diamonds: Engagement Ring With Only Lab-Created Diamonds
Synthetic Diamonds: Engagement Ring With Only Lab-Created Diamonds
Why Lab-Created Diamonds? Lab-created diamond chemically are diamonds. As one might expect, they look just as beautiful as natural diamonds. They are not the same as diamond substitutes, which have different chemical and visual properties. There are several reasons one might prefer lab-created diamonds to natural, mined diamonds: * No chance of them being "conflict" or "blood" diamonds. * No/low negative environmental consequences. * Easier to get colored diamonds. * No involvement from DeBeers, a company many regard as evil for its long-time monopolistic manipulation of the diamond industry prices and its manipulative advertising, as described in the classic Atlantic article, "Have you ever tried to sell a diamond?". * More important than the issue of conflict diamonds, natural diamonds help keep millions of people in poverty through the "natural resource trap" (aka "Dutch disease"), as described in Chapter 2 of Paul Collier's excellent book, The Bottom Billion. In the case of othe - EricaJoy from Bookmarklet
That particular example is kind of a gross color, though. - ⓞnor

Hundreds of Same-Sex Couples Wed in California - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2008...
Hundreds of Same-Sex Couples Wed in California - NYTimes.com
Hundreds of Same-Sex Couples Wed in California - NYTimes.com
"This year, however, proponents of same-sex marriage have found encouragement in both the California Supreme Court decision and in a subsequent order by Gov. David A. Paterson of New York, instructing agencies in his state to recognize same-sex marriages performed legally elsewhere. The California court has also rebuffed several challenges to its May 15 decision, made by two conservative legal groups and by Republican attorneys general who fear that the California marriages will lead to legal challenges brought in their own states." - Bret Taylor
The current UK administration defused the issue of same sex unions by the introduction of Civil Partnerships in 2005 linked to an across the board change of relevant laws to provide parity with married couples - with the exception of those with religiious objections (who should really know better) this has gone smoothly and been introduced across the UK. Its not called a marriage but has all the advantages (and responsibilities!) of the mixed sex varaint. - Jican
The opposition should be pleased. Now that they're married, they'll be having less sex. - Phil Wolff from Alert Thingy
our friends Bob and Michael get married in SF on August 20th. - Todd Mundt
Is that Bruce Willis in the second picture? j/k - Nesta Campbell
@Phil: Ha! Comment of the day :) - Bret Taylor
I love my native state! - Zach Landes
Phil: Brilliant Comment! - Parth Awasthi from twhirl
It makes me very happy to see gay folks entering the light in California. I'm also very amused at how frustrating it must be to the Right. Well, I guess in a few years one of us will be proven right. Either a small percentage of the population of California will be happily married and gay or the country will lay in smouldering ruins and people will be having sex with box turtles. - iTad
Tad: I feel a box turtle urge coming on! Hah. - Robert Scoble
@Tad - I had box turtles as pets when I was kid. Never considered that activity with them though... - Hutch Carpenter
"It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife." - Rick Santorum (Idiot) ex-Senator from Virginia - iTad
Dude in the pic with "Bruce Willis" is freakin HYOOOGE! I wonder how many opponents of gay marriage have been pwned by his hand...LOL - Rahsheen?
Really? BTW...Santorum => Pennsylvania - Hutch Carpenter
Oh crap - sorry to pollute Virginia with Santorum! Oops. I wouldn't wish that on anyone... - iTad
I hope it "sticks". My boyfriend and I are waiting until after November. To have the rug pulled from under us after enjoying a few months of wedded bliss would be too much for the heart to bear. - Jason Menayan
bravo, - pestwave
All You Need Is Love! - Chris Nixon
In my home town in Austria, we had a case of a black man and a white woman wanting to marry, they ended up being refused by the marriage registrar. Of course, we also haven't got gay marriage legalized here. The US have problems, but in some cases, law is way more progressive than in Europe. - sebmos
YAY! - dave mcclure
Yay! - Yuvi
@Phil: LOL! This has certainly been a momentous (and good) development. But it would be nice to see these kinds of decisions made through the legislative process. The fact that this decided in the courts will make the outcome more contentious than it would have been had the population been forced to have a legitimate conversation about the issue. The more bigoted corners of our society now have a victim card to play - and play it they shall... - Forrest Cox
@Forrest: The genius of our system of government lies in its checks and balances. In particular, an unfettered democracy would be subject to the problem of the "tyranny of the majority". Fortunately this is offset by our Constitution and our courts, whose job is to ensure that individual rights are not trampled on, no matter how unpopular that individual may be, for whatever reason. Any bigots playing the victim card are ignorant of basic civics. - Ruchira S. Datta
@Ruchira I agree. The Cali court is playing exactly its Constitutional role, and it's essentially a conservative and Federalist approach to reconciling changing societal mores and the demands of a minority. As I've commented elsewhere, we are winning this argument, and we're doing it state by state, rather than through a Federal fiat, which simply is not feasible at this time. All good things... - Rick Powell
