...and you're still a lovely couple :D

Hahaha! Looking at all the older posts is making me nostalgic. My feed is now boring filled with Tweets. I'm going to start posting fun stuff again.

I think driving in the left road might be so adventurous. but lead to hospital :)

If I could get on 95 and end up in Rome, I'd be one happy American.

Seriously, you all think the road on the left is bad? I'm going to have to go find a map to post of something called "The Tail of the Dragon" =D BRB
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Tina: It's not 'bad' per se. Just that high speed travel will kill you. Now, if only I still had my bicycle...

When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday today he told me he wanted me to print a picture of him in a frame for him which I did. We're going to go out to the Jungle today which is the other thing he wanted to do. He's an amazing kid. So kind and warm and funny and smart and loving.
- Thomas Hawk

wow, thanks everyone. William's having a great day. We took the family out to iHop for breakfast (his favorite). Then went to the Jungle in Concord which he loved. Then went and bought rock band 2 with the gift card his grandmother sent him. I just tried rapping with the my two little Beastie Boys accompanying me and did awesome on the easy level.
- Thomas Hawk
Happy Birthday to you William! The world is yours, enjoy it!
- Matt Penning
Happy Birthday to William! (Great pics Thomas....)

What can a cat do to show he doesn't like someone?
- Shevonne
You don't really want to know, do you? I could send you my demon cat that hates almost everyone so you can find out. (Please say yes, as I need to find him a home. We just can't live with him any more, and I need time for the cat inflicted wounds on my legs to heal.)
- April Russo (app103)
April, now I'm frightened. Had no idea cats could show their hatred like that
- Shevonne
House guests can't use the bathroom here without taking a broom with them, to use like the traditional image of a lion tamer with a chair. Just keep the broom between you & the cat, so he attacks the broom instead of you.
- April Russo (app103)
All cats love me but I don't smell of prawns
- Manuela
In college I dated a girl with two cats. One would knock my picture off her dresser (only mine, not her sister, not her dad...) and would bite me in the ankle when I would kiss her goodnight. The cat hated me.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I gave her a teddybear with a little heart on a string. She put it with the countless stuffed animals she had. The cat ate half of the heart and dragged the bear outside in the snow...
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
hahahaha...my cat is so chilled. He only scratches the kids when they are harassing him. One of them is about to get scratched in a bit.
- Shevonne
i'm not married but i'm sure they would

Ron, could you be thinking this: http://www.youtube.com/watch... (I only bring it up because I saw it as a kid, at camp. Youtube did not invent the viral video :)
- Micah Wittman
We saw those signs on Thurs. For some reason it made us laugh. Actually, I know the reason: No one enforces the no cellphone rule, so it just pretty lights.
- Admiral Anika
Don't text, just read our signs.. BANG! woops :) There is this huge color LCD billboard on my way home from work, so distracting.. it bothers me :P
- Tim Hoeck
Anika - I laughed when I saw this post so I can relate. LOL@tim
- Trish Haley
@Nadine, it will be enforced as well as the no talking on cell phones law. Very poorly! People will ignore the law and cops will rarely ticket anyone for it.
- Jeff P. Henderson
I saw the sign this morning driving back through Needles, on up to Bakersfield and home (many times actually, on I-5, 101, I-40, and 99 too. The first thing I did was update my version of the Google Mobile app for my iPhone so I can have the speech-to-text search feature.
- Pete Delucchi
I will sometimes answer a call when driving, as I have bluetooth audio on the car stereo, but I won't do anything else, when in motion, as it is exceedingly dangerous, and putting other road users at risk.

I am the worlds worst person to Blackberry while driving... altho I have worked on it lately.

Mark, that would probably work on me. "Ooh! You have a COCKATOO?!?" :-)

"Hey, Baby... bet you can't guess what's big, white and smells like broccoli..."
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Yes. I believe I'll try it tonight. These Edmonton girls seem gullibl... I mean, open to conversations.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
How do know that Broccoli doesn't smell like Cockatoo breath?
- John D Reasor
BTW, this post is brought to you by Personal Experience™.
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
And the conspiracy is started, thanks to JDR! Nice.
- James D Kirk
I never thought of it that way, John... you could be right! Maybe we should rename the bird Broccatoo... or the vegetable Cockoli... or then again, maybe not...
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
is this fresh broccoli or "good GOD! what is that SMELL?" broccoli that you forgot about in the back of the fridge?
- tiffany
On a scale of 1-10 where 1 is fresh and 10 is smelly I'd have to put it at a solid 7. :) One reason I don't particularly check my cockatoo's breath very often...
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
Lindsay, the fact that you have put this much time, effort and thought into typing the odiferousness of a birds breath is staggeringly, ah, sumthin'...
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
Just doing my part to educate the public, Mark. Now you know... :)
- Lindsay is in 20-ten
LOL Thanks Lindsay. I was curious about that ; )
- Adriana
Yup: needs a character counter to be useful. I've wondered why there's not a full-featured Twitter bookmarklet -- one that tweets the current page and maybe produces a TinyURL for it on the fly.
- Chris Baskind
I still like it, though. Hones my writing skills. Less is more anyways. :)
- Mona Nomura
tweetburner has a great bookmarklet with character count, twurl url compressing, friendfeed support and best of all analytics of the clicks on your links.
- TobiasVerhoog.com
from fftogo
Tobias: Wow, thank you. The UI is a little ugly, but like you stated - the url compressing, analytics, and character count options are awesome. I mainly use the FriendFeed bookmarklet to post links and images, but may use Twurl for Twitter. Thanks for the info. :)
- Mona Nomura
twitlet (twitlet.com) now supports url compression on the fly. it also tweets current page. use commands, "#this" or "#link" to include currently browsed page in your tweet.

People with looks of "Oh SH*T I didn't see this coming" on their faces are not the people I want responsible for my retirement. I think I'll look after my own money from now on, thank you very much.
- Alan Cheslow
this is hilarious... i gotta share this... by the way, it was either Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart who showed a composite graphic with such photos for a few seconds one or two nights ago... thanks
- Mason Wong
I'm sorry, beating your kids isn't the right thing. My Dad worked for CPS and the horrible stories he mentioned just made me sad. :(
- Molly, New Ears :P
I doubt Rahsheen meant to literally beat the kids.
- Rochelle
Uhm...sometimes your kids do need their ass beat, but if you have been doing your job all along, that type of correction is rare. It's all about respect.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Rah, I meant beat up to the point of CPS involvement. Not just punishment. There's a difference!
- Rochelle
Yeah, I know, but I just got sensitive for some reason when he said that. Sorry, Rah.
- Molly, New Ears :P
"A company controlled by Google’s top executives, including its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, appears to have added a new plane to its well-equipped fleet: a fighter jet, or more precisely a Dornier Alpha Jet. According to Wikipedia, the Alpha Jet is a a light attack jet and advanced trainer aircraft manufactured by Dornier of Germany and Dassault-Breguet of France. ... Presumably no attacks on Microsoft are planned at this time."

...but imagine you work at a GOOG competitor, and you see this thing flying low over the horizon, towards your building...yeah, you'd pro'lly sh*t yourself. LOLz
- .LAG liked that
its owned by a separate company and will be used for NASA tests.
- CW™
Another one of those bombastic headlines...

Shared mostly for the closing quote :) "Presumably no attacks on Microsoft are planned at this time."

Free associating: Larry Ellison (of Oracle fame) "is a licensed pilot who once threatened to strafe Gates' Medina estate in a Russian MiG fighter jet."
- Sean McBride
Maybe Google IS going to form its own country..
- Shawn Farner
"The Google fighter jet is unique, in that, in addition to the standard radar, laser, and heat-seeking guided munitions, which require the weapons control system to be manually 'locked' onto a specific target, the Google Fighter also has a simple, easy-to-use, 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button designed to engage and destroy a target at random."
- Karim
I remain awed by journalists casual disregard for the facts. It's even more awesome when they've established those facts only a few paragraphs earlier in the same article
- Adewale Oshineye
I guess I didn't real the article that closely Adewale -- which facts are you referring to? In my mind, this is more humor than news.
- Paul Buchheit
They're going to invade Live Search.
- Aaron deMello
But I thought Google was green. That thing burns more fuel than Forest Gore's Green Lear Jet man.

I really would have expected there to be less penetration by the pole from a car designed to go that fast. Aren't they built to higher standards?

Every time a Ferrari crashes an angel dies.
- Kevin Johnson
This is disgraceful, how can you crash on a straight road? People like that don't deserve a Ferrari. "Dude, you just f*cked up your Ferrari"
- Toby Graham
If I am not too mistaken. All ferraries look awful in even small front-end crashes. The engine is in the back and there is only the luggage trunk in the front. It's only air, and the area is easily heavily damaged. Not that this is a small crash... That I can't tell from the angle.
- Jon Leirdal
Viagra should use this in their ads. Still standing!
- Mattb4rd
What kind of wood was the pole made out of? God made trumps man made everytime!
- Roney Smith
It was made from Cialisiagra Terminalia Ferraria
- AJ Batac
is the pole ok? make more poles out of that material eh?
- Morgan Haley
that's what happens when you suck at driving!
- Brandy Lea
That is a very thin pole. It should have had a piling or guard rail around it at the base to make it have a much wider profile. Then when cars hit it it would spread the load out across the surface of the car instead of acting like a knife. It is amazing the occupants did not get killed or at the very least suffer severe damage to their legs!
- Jeff P. Henderson
Facebook works best with your closest friends and family in your friends list. They will eventually have to do something about it though - I know most people in their lifetime come across more than 5k friends in real life.
- Jesse Stay
Maybe creating another "personal" account could be a better option than just deleting the one you already have?
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
Svetlana per the Facebook ToC that's actually illegal and could get your account deleted. One account per real person only according to them.
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
I use Facebook for everyone I've met in Real Life. Even people who aren't my actual "friends" (ie. I don't actually like them, eg. colleagues)
- William Stewart
Jesse, thanks for clarification, I was not aware of that. Maybe in this case an option could be having a personal account for close friends and a business page for all the fans to join?
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
Svetlana that's Facebook's recommendation - they'll even migrate your account friends over to a Facebook Page if you ask them. Pages can have more than 5k fans. Personal profiles can't, so it's best to keep those as personal as possible.
- Jesse Stay
from twhirl
havent used facebook since like forever. company policy forbids access and plus the heavy new design of FB completely turns me off.
- Hayk H.
Jesse, thanks a lot for the explanation, I was not aware of this recommendation myself and I do think it sounds absolutely reasonable.
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
I keep my facebook to people I have met - it works brilliantly to stay in touch (or renew in-touch-ness) with people from school, uni, previous jobs. People you might not make the effort to stay in touch with in real life (not enough time) but would stay in touch with if it was easy.
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Until facebook allows signup using an alias I'm not gonna go on there. I shouldn't have to give out my real name just to use a service like this, especially when everyone knows me as my online name.
- alphaxion
I sign up to Facebook using an alias. All my friends and family are aware of the alias. What's the problem?
- Chris Nixon
alpha xion isn't allowed ;) I didn't mean an alias of "john smith"..
- alphaxion
If I start creating a profile for my "real" friends I will be stuck in who are they and won't know :)
- Loic Le Meur
Loic, it's quite understandable but maybe you could use the parameter of remebering who the person is immediately after seeing the name. Or do you mean you really know all the 5k people? If so, I admire you genuinely :)
- Svetlana Gladkova
from twhirl
Ajouter n'importe qui comme ami sur son profil Facebook est SANS INTERET.... non ? Loic tu as assez de notoriété pour avoir une fan page d'un côté et un profile de l'autre, avec uniquement les gens que tu connais (par ailleurs tu dois surement connaitre personnelement plus de 5000 personnes...)

New York must have been amazing in the 20's...I read couple of years ago Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 by Edwin G Burrows and Mike Wallace, very engrossing! The next volume comes out next year I think, to coincide with the Hudson landings in 1609.
- Jason
yeah it must have been crazy back then. i've posted up some photos in this room from the turn of the century through the 1930's. not many other people seem interested in posting or giving feedback in this room though so i only post once in a while
