@albiondumsday I abandoned the Tablet because the iPhone came along and took most of its reason for being away.
True but I find that there are plenty of times when tired/old eyes struggle with text on the iPhone - Richard Filing
Reading glasses help that problem... - Jeff P. Henderson

Stack and Tilt: The New Tour Swing, 6 Steps To Stack & Tilt: Golf Digest Magazine - http://www.golfdigest.com/instruc...
Stack and Tilt: The New Tour Swing, 6 Steps To Stack & Tilt: Golf Digest Magazine
"6 Steps To Stack & Tilt If all of the golf instruction books, videos and lessons for the past 100 years had taught people to keep their weight on their left side and swing their hands inward, we would have generations of golfers drawing the ball instead of slicing. Golf would be a different game. Instead most instruction teaches moves that lead not only to a slice but to hitting behind the ball, which has inhibited the development of players and of the game itself. The Stack & Tilt Swing is a mechanically simpler way to hit the ball. The following are the first pieces you should focus on when trying Stack & Tilt for the first time. If we had only a few words to describe our swing, we'd use the headers to the six steps below." - Richard Filing from Bookmarklet

"End of Tiger Woods? As we knew him, yes. Because before Friday's accident, we knew him only from outside a cocoon. Now the writer who peeled away its first public layer considers what the Escalade and the Enquirer hath wrought on the fate of America's most unlikely of punch lines." - Richard Filing from Bookmarklet

Worry Only About the Problems in Your Circle of Influence :: Tips :: The 99 Percent
""Ultimately... there are no problems. Only situations - to be dealt with now, or to be left alone and accepted as part of the present moment until they change or can be dealt with." Great creative leaders are passionate about their work without allowing their perfectionism and/or anxiety to compromise their judgment. Challenge yourself to only worry about problems that you can solve." - Richard Filing from Bookmarklet

Even Jack Nicklaus takes golf vacations
"Back in March, Jack flew the foursome in his private jet to Augusta National, where they played 18 on the big course, had dinner and stayed overnight in a club cottage. After 18 again the next morning, they played the Par-3 and flew home. Among buddies golf trips, how sweet is that?" - Richard Filing from Bookmarklet

mental_floss Blog » Annie Leibovitz Fairy Tale Photos
For those of you who don’t know Annie Leibovitz, she’s the rock star of photographers. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that a majority of her subjects are rock stars. Even if you don’t recognize her name though, you’re probably at least a little familiar with her works, particularly the famous image of John Lennon kissing Yoko Ono. - Richard Filing

Evernote support rocks.
I kept getting Synchronization Failed so i posted my log file on the Forum. Within hours I had an answer and the fix. - Russellreno
curious to know what the fix was - James Beake
Support identified one note that I deleted then emptied the trash. - Russellreno
I had the same problem - emptying trash solved it - thanks rr - Richard Filing
Yes it does! - Rubin Sfadj
Hasn't worked for me yet, but I'll upgrade and see what that does :/ - Mark Kaigwa
Ditto here - prompt support on a file sync issue. I would bring those staff donuts and coffee with some regularity if this were geographically possible. - Victoria Marinelli

Fwd: RT @evernews How to connect Google Reader and Evernote | http://enquiringmimes.com/wp... This sounds like a good idea. #evernote #googlereader (via http://friendfeed.com/sonofgr...)
I've done this quite often and works great except cleaning up unnecessary Graphics and junk near top or bottom. Plus you need to Tag after in Evernote as well. But it's nice and easy, plus I can be on a machine anywhere with a browser (like Netbook, family, hotel, etc) without needing Evernote on it. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Be sure to go slow while doing this. I'm not sure of the exact rate, but after a few successive emails google will first captcha-test you, sometimes for a few emails in a row. Then there will usually be an error sending emails and you will find your google reader access temporarily suspended for suspicious robot-like activity. - patrick
Yes, good point Patrick! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Sounds good but In Firefox I think its just as easy to clip directly from GReader - Richard Filing

Bertrand Russell on happiness from Psychology Today - http://blogs.psychologytoday.com/blog...
Bertrand Russell on happiness from Psychology Today
Russell’s key concept is zest. Zest is an “appetite for possible things, upon which all happiness, whether of men or animals, ultimately depends.” (5) “What hunger is in relation to food, zest is in relation to life.” (111) As hunger does not automatically lead to satiation, zest does not automatically lead to happiness. Nor can happiness come from gratification obtained without effort. “Happiness is not, except in very rare cases, something that drops into the mouth, like a ripe fruit, by the mere operation of fortunate circumstances. That is why I have called this book The conquest of happiness.” (162-163) “The human animal, like others, is adapted to a certain amount of struggle for life [and] the mere absence of effort from his life removes an essential ingredient of happiness. [. . .] He forgets that to be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.” (15) The things we want need to be difficult, but not too difficult, to obtain. “Pleasures of achievement demand difficultie - Richard Filing from Bookmarklet

Request: Line spacing options in new and edit note dialog (PC). Finding that copying text from other sources results in double spaced text in Evernote. TIA Evernote - love your work.
That happens to me too... One way to get around it, if your pasting doesn't have a lot of other formatting you need to preserve, is to right-click and choose "Paste Special" and choose from the options there ("Paste Plain Text" is the easiest). - Fa La La La Lindsay
Thanks Lindsay, I've been running it through Notepad :( - Richard Filing
Thanks Lindsay...it hadn't even occurred to me to try right clicking to see if there were any options, was just putting up with the double spacing :) - Debbie Scott

I'd like to create a (private) wiki for educational purposes. Anybody has info about www.wikidot.com or other free web services? Thnks!
I'm a k-6 instructional tech facilitator. We usually mostly PB Wiki and wetpaint. Although wetpaint is very strick about the no under 13 users. Both of these wiki products are easy to set up and easy to use, but they do not give you a lot of flexibility. Depending on the age group and your objective you might also want to look into nings for more options. - Kimberly Nolting
2nd pb wiki - adolfo foronda
thanks so much for the tips! I prefer a wiki rather than ning: I'd like to have data, not people in the foreground for this project. It will be used by university professors and phd students. I don't need a very complex structure, and it is important to keep it private (at least at the very beginning). - PaperDoll
thanks! edmodo looks nice! - PaperDoll
I use Zoho Wiki (http://wiki.zoho.com/jsp...) It's so easy to use. - Admiral Anika
thanks Anika! I use other Zoho services and usually they work smoothly. - PaperDoll
http://www.wikia.com/ from the same persons and uses the same software that runs Wikipedia. - LouCypher
You're welcome. I've used PBWiki before, but it frustrates me. When I saw the Zoho one, I tried it out and fell in love. I started making wikis for the sake of making wikis. - Admiral Anika
@Anika :) @LouCypher nice this one too! - PaperDoll
Petronilla, I don't think I've mentioned it on friendfeed before, but I created/run (for 5 years now) a homework web site service for teachers called HomeworkMatters. Anyone can try the demo (http://hmatters.com/... ) and 1 month free trial. If interested, you're welcome to the first year for free (it's $20 annually). It's not a wiki, but is a unique, simple CMS w/ a low learning curve to get content up and going. Here's a fantastic Spanish teacher's live site: http://hmatters.com/donroge - Micah Wittman
I don't want to blab on and on, but you can set a global site password and/or a password per entry (page). Your data's also portable - you can export all your content to a flat file spreadsheet download at any and all times. Anyway, I hope you find the best fit for the needs of your school :) - Micah Wittman
thanks so much, I'll take a look for sure - maybe I can use it for another project. :) - PaperDoll
More than welcome! - Micah Wittman
I am using pbwiki.com for my teachersite where my students go to check homework etc. Not very happy with it though, looking for something better. - "Jazzperous" Isaksson
@Jeppe via Twitter I have received good feedback about wikidot. Zoho seems nice as well. - PaperDoll
There's some others if you have a server running at least mysql and php, there's one I really liked... I think it was Knowledgeroot. Lemme check that out. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
No, it's not it, it's great to publish information but not editing it. Else use TiddlyWiki as a single HTML file, really portable. - ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
Google Apps includes Google Sites. You can create a private wiki with it: http://www.google.com/a - Kevin Gough
Thank you everybody... I love FriendFeed! :) - PaperDoll
i have heard about moodle - TrafficBug

Robert Scoble
I am alpha testing something that @god gave me. I am convinced that by the end of 2009 we will not get anything useful done. Grrrrrr.
You think friendfeed and twitter take your attention away from the work you are supposed to be doing? They are only the beginning. Soon we will just stop doing work altogether. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
Does it attempt to tell you the meaning of e-life but only gives you a 404? :-) - Dean Clark
I want in! Sounds like a good waste of time - patrick
patrick, include your email address here and @god might give you some of the attention stealing drug I'm using now. ;-) - Robert Scoble
Careful Scoble, "test" that too much and you'll go blind - Craig Eddy
Is it a machine that lets you rewind and fast forward time? That's what I could really use. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
As long as I can still collect a pay check. - Dave "Freedom 35"
Brian: no, it is more like link cocaine. - Robert Scoble
I'd like more things to steal my attention - email is jordanpw at gmail.com :) - Patrick Jordan
Isn't it your job anyway to not get anything done? and help us all live vicariously through your conversations and travels?? - Troy Malone
Sounds like "Red Dwarf: Better Than Life" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - flee! - WorldofHiglet
i like time wasting alphas - dadads at mac.com - planetMitch
Has ff search been spotty for you? Not working for me :( - Dana Fosburgh
Oh boy. I'm already in rehab for my FF addiction. ;-) Can't wait to get me some new digital crack though ;-) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Troy: actually, my job is to do videos for http://www.fastcompany.tv -- this isn't helping that mission out. Dana, yes, ff search is bad. They are working on it (I asked yesterday, they said it would be up "soon.") - Robert Scoble
...but I didn't say I didn't want to look at it. And try it a bit. You know, just to see...worldofhiglet at gmail dot com - WorldofHiglet
somehow, this sounds more like hype than anything else. can I please see for myself? dossy@panoptic.com - Dossy Shiobara
I'll wait for @Scobleizer to descend from on high with what @god has wrought us. - MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
can i get some of that action? dimensionmedia at gmail.com :) - David Bisset (sn)
I am in for some link cocaine mbazzoni at gmail - Michael Bazzoni
If this is Gist I'm so mad :P. Seems like they only have like 50 people in their alpha. I would love to get in on it, bjtitus@gmail.com - Brandon Titus
Robert, you typed "I am alpha testing something" and it almost came out, Freudian as it may be: "alpha-tester male" or maybe "alpha-male tester". And it's working for you :) - Micah Wittman
Robert Scoble is the best spam bot ever: people give him their email addresses willingly! ;-) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Let me guess quake online? - Ryan Cummins
Brandon: Gist.com actually helps you be more productive. This is a total attention-stealing thing. Probably won't be public for a few more weeks. - Robert Scoble
Yeah, me too, jaykul at gmail :-D - Joel Bennett
Thanks for the warning. - Andrew Smith
Ah. I figured it would be weird for you to say that Gist was stealing attention away but it is the only unreleased project I had heard in relation to @god, I think. I'm eager to find out what it is anyway (even though I definitely don't need any help wasting time). - Brandon Titus
Attention stealing drug? More than ff? Put me back on the time stealing slide again. drug hook-up to humanavatar@gmail.com, please. (Edited so @god can find my email address) - Robert Miller
Robert - I love shiny, new things - 1webdeveloper@gmail.com if ya can send that along to @god, I'd be most grateful - Renee Hendricks
This is probably unintentionally turning into an invite request thread :P - Brandon Titus
Brandon: @god has been notified and will be here shortly. :-) - Robert Scoble
@god has left the building (a god has to eat), but he is watching from afar - Jesse Andrews

We are still working on the product - we've tried to keep it simple, but have many ideas of how to improve it once we get a more than a handful of users on the service (clikball dev) - Jesse Andrews
this all sounds very interesting... if I could get on the beta list that would be great... jmccartan AT hotmail DOT com - John
Robert I can't absorb anymore loss of productivity! Don't tease me!! You know I am a giant lollipop for this stuff :) - Susan Beebe
created a clikball room - come on in - Jesse Andrews
@god blessed me with an invite. You'll all love it. Way better than Twitter. Three invitations isn't nearly enough unless you've already sent invites to Fruchter and LouisGray and LizStrauss so I can share with DerekSemmler and Susan Beebe and who else am I forgetting? - Internet Strategist
Too late, already happened around here. - Martha
Tobert It's okay if soon we stop doing work altogether. Soon there will be no money to pay us for the work anyway. - Michael Markman
Looks like FF is the new simplest way to get testers to jump on you. I love how many are gmail users. Do you still want more users? jaemik at gmail dot com - Jaemi Kehoe
this *is* work, no? ;) - Anthony Citrano
I am hoping that @god sees my email address way up there in the list and sends an invite. :) - Robert Miller
Ok Martha and Jesse - a room with no messages in it? What's up with that? :-) - Internet Strategist

Yes - I see you're already in. Smart system knew you didn't need one. Lindsay REALLY wanted in - she was there instants after I sent it! - Internet Strategist

HUGE NEWS: Evernote closes $4.5M round of funding http://blog.evernote.com/2009...
Good for them!!! - Fa La La La Lindsay
They don't need the $20 I just gave them then - Richard Filing
Cute, Richard. :) (That is, I hope you're not serious. But I'm guessing you do realize that the point of funding is to bridge the gap until a company can get, you know, customers - or advertisers, or someone besides investors - to pay for products. So they very much do need your $20, assuming you're not unhappy with the product.) - Kate O'Neill
Very much understand Kate - I'm a happy subscriber promoting Evernote at every opportunity because it offers a great service across web, desktop and mobile phone. Keep up the good work. - Richard Filing
Richard Filing
I think its a big opportunity for Evernote to capture the Social Media/Personal Knowledge Management initiative with further integration with Friendfeed, Twitter, FB etc. The river effect, where everything just disappears, makes me fret a little.
Automatic time stamped storage of pre-flagged social media with semi automatic tagging and perhaps integration with Wordpress platform or similar to provide publicly available library. - Richard Filing
