I was stressed last week as we are having work done on Kevin's office, and I was on a time crunch to get his office painted between the demolition of the closet/new walls going in, and the installation of the hardwood floors on Monday. In the past choosing colors with Kevin has been a long process and I was a little anxious. In the midst of all this was prep and talk of FriendFeed beta all around me so I was thinking about FriendFeed even more than usual. So Friday night I had this odd dream where we were working on colors for Kevin's office, but somehow due to FriendFeed a portal had opened up between Kevin's office and somewhere in Josh Haley's house (Josh, I have no idea why it's in your house, but a portal between California and Australia wouldn't be a bad thing, right?) and now, without ever having seen Josh Haley's house I needed to take into consideration how the colors in Kevin's office would look through the portal and whether they would clash with Josh's room. It was very difficult!!

HA HA HA HA! This is funny for 2 reasons... 1- Just because. 2 - I live in Houston, Texas. My fellow FFundercats podcaster Johnny Worthington lives in Australia. now I have to think maybe you dreamed about his house now :( Either way, you are spending way too much time on FriendFeed. Wait, is that even possible? ;) BTW, my office paint job is a travesty in indigo. I'll have to find some pics.

Josh, I'm just confused in general. But it was your office cause I remember saying to Kevin that it had to coordinate with Josh's house. In the dream I was thinking New Zealand, I was later corrected to Australia, but you know... we are all confused. If your office is Indigo that just might coordinate. I'm taking photos of the whole remodel process, so I have plenty of photos to compare too. I think the bigger question here though is when is FriendFeed going to release portals? I'm just looking for portals through space, time can come later.

I must print and frame this thread for my indigo wall.
- Josh Haley
*lol* but what color will the matte and frame be Josh?
- Rachel Lea Fox
*breaks out his Painting by Fibonacci Numbers manual*
- Josh Haley
Kevin has a blue wall now, it has a little more red in it than indigo, but isn't too far off. The paint company calls the color "Flying Fish".
- Rachel Lea Fox
Flying Fish = purple? *edit* Deep Purple?
- Josh Haley
Apparently so... a very dark blue purple. I can't seem to get a direct link from the Behr webpage, and the online color really looks nothing like it, at least not on my screen.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Flying Fish = A blue with more red than green. :-) Rachel, what was the pantone again?
- Kevin Fox
2738 M - but I don't know any fish that color. Flying or otherwise.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I haven't downloaded my photos yet. Still adding peeps photos to the card. When I get them down I will post a shot.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I do think that the offices would coordinate pretty well, or at least not clash by the photos you posted. I didn't have to worry after all! ;)
- Rachel Lea Fox
This thread is the stuff dreams are made of! :) :) :) Discussing this on next ffundercats just might open that wormhole I've always suspected was there. Rachel, get Kevin to put Dream Feed as a supported service on the next FF meeting agenda , please ;)

Micah - I like dreamfeed, that could be an awesome and potentially creepy website! I do think FriendFeed needs to start working on the portal issue. Or maybe they are and I'm subconsciously picking up on it somehow! If they are, there must be a secret lab at FFGWHQ.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Josh, maybe one of us can add a portal to Johnny Worthington's, that way we can all still get to Australia in addition to Texas and California. But maybe we could pick a room that is easier to color coordinate with. ;)
- Rachel Lea Fox
Johnny would be all over that! He is DYING to make it to CA, and I'm dead serious, just to visit you all at FriendFeed HQ! I would love to visit as well. And to think I used to work in Walnut Creek just a few years ago! :p
- Josh Haley
And getting between Australia and the US without flying 13 hours or more would be pretty sweet too!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Um... just for full disclosure, my office (here in Australia) use to be the old granny flat before the renovations. The family before us let the 17 year old paint the room how ever he wanted... Until I repaint it, the current colours are: Fire engine red roof, 2 x light blue walls, 2 x lemon yellow walls and the columns in the corners are painted dark blue... It's like someone stuck a stick of dynamite in a clown's mouth and lite the fuse...
- Johnny
oh my! I've got nothing else, just oh my!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Josh, Here are photos of the blue wall in Kevin's office. I couldn't find a photo that really got the color quite right. I'll have to try again later: http://beta.friendfeed.com/phoenix...
- Rachel Lea Fox
Wow. You dreaming about my husband and portals is hilarious. I've dreamt about friendfeeders also, but will NEVER disclose who... I can't even remember the details now, but I don't think it involved paint or portals. I would, however, like to get in on the portal to Johnny's house. His wife has strawberries with my name on them.
- Trish Haley
Trish, I'm with you on the hilarious. I don't even think I had spoken to Josh before, just knew he was part of FFundercats... I really don't know how he got in there. I do however think its official now... someone really needs to get to work on these portals!
- Rachel Lea Fox
The only time I dreamt about a FriendFeeder, he was a serial killer and tried to eat my face.
- Anika
Anika - Yuck! I suggest portals, much more fun!
- Rachel Lea Fox
hahahahah. <--- per everyone below the bump.
- Micah
But Micah, why or why has this come back to haunt me?
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rachel, this is one of my favourite posts evar. I came across it in a search tonight. I had to bump. I could not not do so, a black hole would have formed and, well, if you've seen the Disney classic, and by classic I mean "what were you thinking when you put that on film!? film", you know how that ends :P
- Micah
I had not heard of said movie and now Kevin is making fun of me for it. I was 1.5 years old when that came out, and by the looks of the imdb info and what you say Micah, it wasn't very good.
- Rachel Lea Fox
I saw it at the theater. BLEW MY MIND!
