Just finished an email survey for the SFMOMA asking me why I hadn't renewed my membership. They've been calling incessantly at home trying to get me to renew as well. Funny how when you throw someone out of a museum for the crime of photography that they just aren't that interested in renewing. Good riddance.

No way. I read your blog so many years ago about that incident, and I had no idea that it was you who wrote it. I never forgot the post. It was my first exposure to Photographer's rights. Funny how time flies!

Nope, but I let them know my stance on things in the comment part of the survey. Unfortunately I was limited to 500 words by the form.

I can see that, since you're now using 'no' instead of 'know' to save space. ;)

Wow. Some of you apparently live terrible lives, filled with terrible people you seem unable to avoid, with the possible exception of this one website, I feel terrible about that.Of course, it's also possible you've wildly overestimated the difference between the people you know here and the people who know you in real life.

Nope, you're the ones who keep saying everyone you know and everything you do on facebook sucks. That must be terrible.

Yes Richard because clearly I can make friends from all over the world on my daily stroll through the park. Or not.

Luckily, unlike so many here, I can keep using any website I want the same way I did before without devolving into a baseless bitchfest about what might happen someday somewhere. Or, I could have kneejerk reaction based on irrational fear. hmmm
- Richard Lawler
And you're very good at keeping your assumptions to yourself
- Bwana ☠
Richard: Were friendfeed to say that it's going to survive, or at least that FB will have a more open, public facing side to it as a result of the acquisition, then I think the bitching would subside. As it stands, there's not much reason to think that anything of friendfeed will survive. If Facebook perfectly met everyone's needs, there would be no friendfeed.
- Christopher A Carr
On the bright side, I can have a kneejerk reaction on FB and remove baseless bitches from my friends list. :)
- jcunwired
Except, they haven't really said anything. So thinking anything will or won't survive is premature. If Facebook perfectly met everyone's expectations there would be no need for war, sickness or evil deeds. Every online community is the same as every other one, if friendfeed, for whatever reason, doesn't keep doing what you want ti to do, you'll use something else. It hasn't ever been perfect and it never will be.
- Richard Lawler
I told you Richard. You're wrong. "Taylor and Cox say that the Friendfeed product will live on independently, and eventually Friendfeed will be merged into Facebook. But the Friendfeed team is not being kept whole. Some employees will now report to Cox, others to engineering head Mike Schroepfer. In my opinion that means, long term, the Friendfeed product itself is unlikely to be a big priority." http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
- Bwana ☠
Well, you told me what techcrunch's opinion is, because that's what I wanted to know. Thanks! (there's sarcasm there)
- Richard Lawler
Ok let me slow it down for you. The team is splitting. The product is going to merge with Facebook. (No sarcasm)
- Bwana ☠
Richard: "Every online community is the same as every other one..." That's nonsense.
- Christopher A Carr
I can wholly identify with JC's statement.
- JA Castillo
Wow Bwana...you are really bitchy in this thread...I think Richard is making some good points. If you are having issues with the people you 'accept' on Facebook there really is only one person who you can point the finger. You. Facebook makes it quite easy to NOT get involved with any person.
- Sidney
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.
- Bwana ☠
I accept friends in Facebook because if they took the time to want to be friends with me, I feel obligated. I'm also not one to hurt a person's feelings by turning them down. That's what its like in a closed community like Facebook. Friendfeed is totally open - I can read, share, participate and like without having any obligation whatsoever to the people I interact with.
- jcunwired
Sidney - Refusing to see that there is a clear difference between the people and the atmosphere of Facebookers and Friendfeeders is either foolishness or stubbornness. There is a world in facebook, full of garbage, that people think is "ok" because it evolved from other crap.
- Matthew DeVries
Same here. Wisely said!

There is the matter of censorship too. You really have to post some very illegal crap before FF will step in a mod it. Facebook bounces you for saying breastfeeding.

I tend to drink whatever tastes good. Throwing away the paper umbrella is purely practical. I'd rather have them in my hair than in my eye.
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
No. I draw the line at anything served in a martini glass that isn't a martini, vodka martini or a Manhattan. If a man orders a Cosmo, he is asking to get teased. That doesn't mean he can't drink a pink drink, or a delicious mixed cocktail. But those cocktails served in martini glasses are way too girlie for anyone not named Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, or Charlotte.
- tiffany
If the drinks in the photograph were in less wild glasses, and just a straight whiskey glass, for instance, I doubt guys would catch as much grief as they do for drinking these drinks. Serve me up another appletini! Heavy on the apple, light on the tini.

- Rasmus Lauridsen
I personally like a man who, if interested in my 'girly' drink, isn't afraid to order it because he likes it... even if it comes with umbrellas and little pink flamingos in the ice cubes. Just like the big strong men with the little tiny dogs... :D Be who you are, walk with who you want to, drink what you like.
- Bette Cooper
No. There are rules for this. Unless you are on a beach in a foreign country, men can't drink anything with an umbrella. I think Tiffany is right on with the martini glass -- meant only for vodka, gin or bourbon....
- Ben Hanten
We've talked about "Manly Drinks" several times on Drink Update, but the post that gets right to the point is here http://drinkupdate.com/archive...
- Ben Hanten
Sorry, I disagree, Ben. If there are rules, then they need to be broken. Drinks should be a personal choice... including the glass used. For us, I enjoy a few shots of good tequila, while my husband prefers a strawberry daquiri, with umbrella. Why would we stick to rules, depriving both of us of what we like? Please, darlin'... there are enough restraints without liquor being part of it. :D
- Bette Cooper
Saying "there are rules" goes with a little sarcasm, but... The world is full of beer, bourbon, Scotch, gin.... Adding a bunch of syrup and juices will make anything taste good; I just happen to think those drinks are targeted at women. But if we want to talk about rules, one of the most fundamental would be to drink what you like. I get that.
- Ben Hanten
A Kamikaze comes in a martini glass and is definitely not a girly drink. And is definitely not a martini.

I don't really order girly drinks, but I don't frown on people who do. The "girliest" drink I regularly order is a margarita or a water moccasin (shot of Crown Royal + Peach Schnapps + Cranberry Juice shaken with ice and served in a shot glass) Granted...it comes out pinkish-red and tastes like fruit juice, but they named it after a dangerous animal on purpose. Other than that, I'm more a Jaeger-Bombs and pitchers of beer kinda guy. (Shiner Bock if they have it)

I think it's lame that people consider things women like to not be good enough for men, but not vice versa. Still happens too much with many things. (Guys will probably always have a hard time making skirts and high heels look cool, though. Unless they're part of Monty Python or something...) Or maybe in this case, men aren't up to the challenge of fruity ladies' drinks? (Not likely.)
- Kamilah Gill
What *is* a girly drink? I never really thought some drinks were girly, unless you mean the drinks that disguise the alcohol under loads of sugar for people who dont really like the taste of alcohol? That's not girly, really - although they might be the drinks girls drinks when getting use to alcohol (whereas boys might do beer mixers), that kind of stops at 20... (22 in the US)

FCC investigates Apple, AT&T for Google Voice app rejection - http://www.appleinsider.com/article...
Ace, nicolas770, Santa CW™ and 50 other people liked this
Oh SNAP: "Apple's decision to reject Google Voice apps for the iPhone -- possibly at AT&T's request -- has prompted an FCC investigation into the anti-competitive nature of the move. The US government agency on Friday sent letters to Apple, AT&T and Google asking them to explain their roles in both rejecting Google's own app as well as pulling at least two third-party apps that were already available."

Anyone remember a couple of years ago when Eric Schmidt was telling the FCC that we need some kind of openness guarantees on spectrum? Do you now see why it matters?
- Joel Webber
You think we didn't see then?
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Kurt, it's so hard because unlike deciding to shop at a different grocery store or boycott grapes, deciding to switch carriers to 'send a message' is more permanent. I'd probably get locked in to a 1 or 2 year contract with another carrier, so even if my message worked and Apple and AT&T got better they still wouldn't regain my business for several years, if at all.
- Kevin Fox
It's unlikely Apple or AT&T would be affected by existing customers leaving: they've already paid a good portion of their contract money already, and they are more than made up for in new sales. Bad press, that which would give new customers pause before buying, would be more effective. An FCC investigation, you telling everyone you know how much AT&T and Apple sucks, and news coverage are more likely to effect change than voting with your wallet.

- MVB (Grinch of FF)
from iPod
What's great about the "seamless" interface, vs. a phone that just self-maintains itself? I guess it's the ability to buy music on a large screen, and have it synced to the device? The few times I've had to use iTunes I have found the sync process a bit annoying, but I clearly haven't fully soaked in the awesomeness.
- ⓞnor
My 'snap' wasn't about breaking the camel's back. I'm just happy that someone in a position of authority is taking Apple to task for their seemingly arbitrary and unhelpful approval process. I care less than most whether GV applications are approved for the iPhone and I actually think it's Apple's prerogative to choose which applications are accepted, but their rules need to be clearly...

- Kevin Fox
Personally this has 2 ugly aspects: retrospectively rejecting apps from the app store and what it could mean for apps like Spotify which clearly compete with one of apple's profit centers.
