Seven page paper due tonight at midnight... started at five and over halfway done. I'm pretty impressed with my procrastination skills, how about you? hahaha
Thanks, peeps. I've been walking around with a buzzed head since May, but it's getting chilly so I decided to work on growing my half-fro back for the winter.

Dood...liking the tight cut. A little fade in there?
- JA Castillo
I caught the pic before the caption and was about to be all like "Damn! Look at Derrick all lined up and isht!"Now, my comment makes even more sense. LOL. I'm about to try and grow a half-fro as well, but it's cuz my head is just shaped funny and I wanted to try something new :)

Brizzly, GMail Checker & bit.ly...I already have a bookmarklet for Send From Gmail
- JA Castillo
I uninstalled Brizzly because, while it was pretty and all, it was just too slow and not that useful. I'll just use the Brizzly website instead.
- Michael Hocter
The Send From Gmail extenstion does more than the bookmarklet. Now all email links default to using Gmail :)
- Michael Hocter
Feedly, Shareaholic, and Fittr Flickr so far
- Kenton
Just 4. I would also have Feedly, but it keeps uninstalling itself.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
none. but Chrome is starting to bug me (it sucks opening stuff linked in hotmail and other java thingees), so maybe it's time i installed some add ons? i dunno. i don't like IE or Firefox, so what should I do?
- Morgan Haley
Five Lastpass, Delicious, Sticky tabs, Gmail Checker and Adblock. Akiva I'm on the mac also ... Chromium + a little something I read about in MG's little post on TC http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Five, but I only actually use feedly and just started using DChrome. I installed Web Developer Mini, but find it pretty useless. I also have the bit.ly shortener installed but haven't used it at all and have Twitter EXT installed, but don't even know how to use it.

Good morning, Mary! I'll try to dial the crazy back on my end. =)

hell no, crank it up. We're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy. I'll observe, take pictures and put them on my wall.

"Researchers were conducting a study comparing the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular users. But their project stumbled at the first hurdle when they failed to find a single man who had not been seen it. “We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn't find any.” Although hampered in its original aim, the study did examined the habits of those young men who used pornography – which would appear to be all of them."
- RAPatton
"Single men watched pornography for an average of 40 minutes, three times a week, while those in relationships watched it 1.7 times a week for around 20 minutes. The study found that men watched pornography that matched their own image of sexuality, and quickly discarded material they found offensive or distasteful. Prof Lajeunesse said pornography did not have a negative effect on...

before i did fraud, i worked on the "Adult Content" team. :) it was kind of fun.

I was going to say something similar, Sarah. Try the Amish, or maybe some Hasidic Jews?
- Laura Norvig
The Amish just keep it in the community, usually via sexual molestation of underage females, because they'll be treated harshly if they speak out. http://www.youtube.com/watch...
- Mark Jepsen
Headline is a bit misleading. This was an attempt to study 20 men, which were to be divided in two groups, porn-watchers and non-porn-watchers, and they simply couldn't find any to fit in the second group. Doesn't sound like they surveyed thousands of men.
- Louis Simoneau
"All men watch porn." ...although we only studied men in their 20s, we'll go ahead and assume that they represent men of all ages. Good call.

In an obvious attempt to appeal to a younger, hipper, more fashion-forward demographic, Lucasfilm has collaborated with New Era to release a series of Star Wars-inspired 59Fifty baseball caps. The geekdom includes 20 variations–everything from the classic Star Wars logo to Yoda to the ridiculous Chewbacca version. They went on sale yesterday, and range in price from $80.00-$100.00. Head over to New Era Japan to pick one up, and to ensure you’ll never get laid again. Unless you do, in which case you’ve found your soul mate.
- Derrick
*fabulous* although, i'd probably only give the time of day to guys wearing the logo or han frozen caps. the others are too over the top for me.

I've never had a "white christmas"...it would be really nice. Maybe next year my family can rent a place in the snow or something for Christmas. That would be awesome.

Just a little more patience for the Apple iTablet/iPad (iWhatever) ... sure, price tag will be $699 - 849 but you will get what you pay for and it will blow all other tablets away immediately. Don´t cry Arrington.

Pricing mentioned earlier was always delusional.

Ugh.. I finally got my big fat check.. on a personal check. A TEMPORARY personal check. WTF does that? Why not a cashier's check? Hello 7 business day waiting period to buy Christmas gifts. :(
The whole company is full of fail. They always did everything the most ass-backwards way. SO glad I'm not working for them anymore. This one experience reminded me why I hated that job so much.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
They didn't even offer the chance to get a cashier's check instead of this useless thing until AFTER they mailed it out. Why didn't they ask *before* they cut a personal check for several thousand dollars? ON A TEMPORARY CHECKBOOK. Idiots.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
well that sucks but at least you have it
- VAL D. Zone
This is true. However it's going to suck more paying all those overnight shipping charges to rush my Christmas gifts here. :/
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Sorry to hear that Haggis. Will this be your last contact with them hopefully?
- Give 'Em DBizness
Definitely.. I thought my last contact was 5 years ago when I quit, but this was pleasant news. They're in the local phone book business.. they can't last much longer anyway.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Hell yes it is! All the fine dudes and finest bitches still be rocking the Casbah daily and nightly here on the station with it all! K-FFD!

Still alive but the momentum and will to live is gone -- and the sale and virtual abandonment was like shutting out the lights in the middle of a party -- a signal for everybody to go home.
- Brian Sullivan
The Google real-time announcement certainly didn't hurt!!!!
- Charlie Anzman
Honestly, it's not that much different -- plenty to chat about, and plenty to chat with -- and it's still storing all my web finds perfectly. There's an extremely considerate and passionate community. So... sure!

I would say yes. It had a slump period for me for a couple of months, but now I'm putting more in it and getting more from it in return.
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Tricky question. Nothing else out there has this feature-set, and AFAIC that's the killer, I use FF because it's the best platform. Maybe some people drifting away since the sale, but OTOH there are new people joining. My buddies Nat and Brent from Calgary both joined around the time of the sale and have both really gotten into it. I have more discussions here than on Twitter, and I think that's true for a lot of people.
- Louis Simoneau
And @Scoble: the fact that you don't get 12 000+ followers on FF makes it less attractive to social media marketing types, which actually makes it BETTER as a platform for meeting and interacting with real people. I have 'friends' on Twitter that I've back-and-forthed with a few times but couldn't really tell you much about, whereas here, I feel like I really KNOW people like Derrick, Jandy, Monique, etc.
- Louis Simoneau
Only to some hardcore dedicated FF'ers. Other then that its just here for Robert Scoble to come on and preach how every worthy tech person he follows is on Twitter and how this site is dead.
- CW™
And regarding Robert's statement, OF COURSE a founder of Google will get thousands people who click the follow button. Then what? I look forward to Eric having 12,000 individual conversations this week, so someone ping me when that happens :) I've gleaned more valuable insights into the thought process and perspective of Google/Googlers from being in and around the conversations started by DeWitt on Friendfeed than I have in any other way.
- Micah Wittman
I have to excuse myself for not being very active for quite a while: I was being busy organising the Dutch Bloggies. I do think FriendFeed is still alive, but I sure wished there were more Dutch people to keep up a conversation with. It's making it difficult, now I'm out of organising for a week, to start up being involved again. I'm jealous at the Egyptian & Italian people, who seem to have a whole community here.
- Ton Zijp
Friendfeed is immortal, perfect, the best. Friendfeed will never die. ... in fact, the end of behemoths like Facebook and Twitter will be tweeted on Friendfeed.!
- Petr Buben
Just got back into using FF more heavily and find it much more enjoyable to any of the Twitter clients I've found. I can actually engage with the people that I "follow" and learn more about them and find interests instead of just trying to separate the wheat from the chaff like I feel I do on Twitter
- Ian Rudy
Am I the only one who got tired of responding to posts that ask if the site is still alive? "Charlie, you there? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you here me *now*?....I gave up on 'em after Scoble's 2nd one. Just ignore

Hendricks is pretty good. Are you still warming up your meat with a gas grill or have you learned proper BBQ techniques yet, Alex?

my favorite gin is whichever one you're mixing with tonic and putting in front of me. I do like Hendricks though. Hey don't forget that twist of lime!

Look, all I want is a wireless optical mouse that fits my hand (this means "normal size", not "laptop" or "portable"), has five buttons (left, right, wheel, two thumb buttons), a non-smooth vertical-scrolling-only wheel (no horizontal wheel action).
Logitech does not seem to make a mouse that fits this requirement anymore. And most of Microsoft's are either portable/laptop, which means its too small for my hand, or wired.

Have you tried the ones by Razer? Http://razerzone.com

I used to have a Razer back in the day, back when mice were men enough to have actual BALLS. I actually forgot about them. There was a period they went through where all their products were dudded up with goofy EXTREME LIGHTENING AND GLOWING CRACKED EARTH LAVA PATTERNS, which I don't care for either.
- Andy Bakun
I have a Microsoft Wireless OPtical Mouse 2.0A here. It got sent to me by mistake, along with a keyboard, instead of a $20 pair of speakers. I didn't send it back. I've had it a couple of years, and I don't have the smallest of hands.
- Ian May
The Mamba or Orchi may fit the bill. When I find one I like, I'm going to buy like 4 or 5 of them to protect myself against a good one that stops being made.
