Ouch!! - Jeff P. Henderson
My son did a vault face plant *twice* during warmups at his first competition (he was 9 I think)-- the coach reassured him after the first with a "just go out and do it again" -- which he did (fortunately he came 2nd in the event). Some of these accidents shown here could have been life threatening though so I am not sure what the right response to these should be, - Brian Sullivan
Brian - I agree. Especially the last incident with the vault. That's not really funny. Some of the other things actually did make me laugh, though, especially the bicycle guy getting some payback after he pushed down a competitor. - matt hollingsworth

My Awesome Son Jackson
My Awesome Son Jackson
August 29 at 11:10 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
I'm super excited that I get to take my 7 year old son Jackson to an A's baseball game tonight just him and I. He won two club level tickets at the golf driving range by hitting a 175 yard drive into a bucket a few weeks back. He kept trying for the bucket over and over again so that he and his dad could go to a baseball game together. He's such an awesome kid. I'm so lucky to have him (as well as the rest of them and mrsth) in my life. - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet

Instead of "The Earths Orbit" you should have said "the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit". In which case the answer would be 2. As it stands, 3, because the tilt would have no effect outside the context of an orbit. Please don't draw conclusions about scientific illiteracy from these survey answers. - ⓞnor
Thanks for the input folks appreciate it. - Not Not Geoff Schultz

anyone have any idea how to help make this happen? - David Beach
Beach - NoiseRiver has done it: http://noiseriver.com/entry/d9.... See if you can get in touch with Directeur (creator of NoiseRiver: http://friendfeed.com/directeu...) - Justin Korn
Though, that really doesn't help with making it happen IN friendfeed... - Justin Korn
It's gotta be a simple factor of how the feed is being processed. Seems like other media is picked up just fine...except for 12seconds (not blaming 12seconds, just saying it soudns like a more basic issue that could help future services as well) - Rah™
Agree with Rahsheen. Beach - you can also check out the NoiseRiver room: http://friendfeed.com/rooms/no... Directeur is very active there. - Justin Korn

Despite a couple of snarky comments on this article, I think that vacation photography is great - albeit probably not huge - market.

I, too, was excited this morning and even felt kind of warm and loved by the big U.S. exclusive iPhone provider - like maybe they really did want to be closer to the cutting edge and show their highly-paying customers some goodness.

I got lucky in the wife Dept. Jeremy. - Thomas Hawk
You were skeptical last month ( http://thomashawk.com/2008/06/... ). What made you decide to get one? - Mike Doeff
Mike, I wasn't going to get one but then my old one got dropped and I can no longer use the power on/off or screenlock. I wasn't planning on getting a new one, but without power on/0ff or screenlock the phone doesn't hold a charge all day. - Thomas Hawk
at least you have iPhones within your state. WA is sold out. - rick gordon
Thomas - you got a great deal! And, are getting a good phone. :) - matt hollingsworth
If she is not the main account holder, she may have trouble purchasing one; at least, that's what they told me when I was in line. - Jeremy Brooks
@Jeremy: yes, I know of one person whose assistant was turned away because of the above. - Anthony Citrano
So what did YOU promise her? - Haggis (Sean)
Im sure MrsTH will come home to a fullcourse dinner , followed by Iphone Delight after supper .. - johnpiercy
hmmm, she's pretty resourceful Jeremy. I'm sure she'll be able to talk her way into buying one. - Thomas Hawk
I have mixed feelings about mine. Battery life is terrible with 3G and Push enabled. Managed to get by so far by turning Push off and its not too bad. - Sean Davis
Haggis, I'm sure I'll figure out some way to thank her. - Thomas Hawk

Thomas, lucky isn't the half of it. How did you train her so well, mine would never do that :-) - Duncan Riley
After waiting in line all that time Apple is telling my wife that I'm "ineligible" to upgrade until 2009. Looks like someone at Apple or AT&T hates me. So much for paying $600 for the original iPhone on the day that it came out. She's still working with the store to try and activate the phone. Hopefully this can get resolved. I wonder if AT&T is going to try and screw me even more with an early termination charge. - Thomas Hawk
Someone in FF had that same problem but when they got home and looked at their accont, they found out they were eligible for the upgrade.. Hopefully that's not the case for you! Wow, the mrs rocks! - Mona N.
Typical screw ups with Apple/AT&T. It took me 36 hours to activate the last iPhone that I purchased. http://thomashawk.com/2007/07/... When I tried to use their "generous" $100 rebate back for paying $600 for the original phone they rejected that as well. mrsth doesn't give up easily though so I bet it gets resolved. - Thomas Hawk
that's my son William on the computer at the Apple store while my wife is trying to convince Apple that I should be allowed to upgrade: http://friendfeed.com/e/33a28e... - Thomas Hawk
i spent 5 hours in line at the Walnut Creek apple store on saturday to get mine. here's my qik videos of the event: http://qik.com/morgan - Morgan
Ok, it's done. iPhone is activated. Apple said something about some of the phones that they got already having SIM chips in use and so that was the hang up. Unfortunately mrsth did end up with a $35 parking ticket over the long afternoon. Meeting up next to take her and the four little ones to dinner. Need to make sure she gets a strong cold drink at dinner. - Thomas Hawk
Surprise her with thank you choclates! :) - Mona N.
You're paying for her parking ticket too, aren't you? ;) - Mavericks of A-sauce!

OS is always more important - Aaron L. M. Goodwin

For me, the OS is more interesting because of the new application platform. Also, as the App Store is available to iPod Touch users as well, its reach is potentially more broad. The barrier to entry for the software/OS is small, while the barrier to entry to upgrade hardware and service to an iPhone 3G, for first-generation users, or non-iPhone users will be too much for many people. - Louis Gray
It's all about the apps—hands down. - James Mowery via twhirl
The firmware and the app store are monumental. Much more than incremental hardware upgrades. That's why I kept my 1st gen unit. It offers 98% of the funtions of the new hardware. Including LBS. One of many thoughts: http://bit.ly/3xqiVj - Kevin C. Tofel
BTW, this post, while not being prefectly relevant, might peak your interest for discussion. I think that subscription-based products are going to dominate in the future. I believe that the app store is providing Apple the experience nece
