I don't know why Mark Sanford was so set against stimulus funds. Everything he says is shovel ready.

Rich, I'm not in love with Massachusetts (although I appreciate the reverse) but I am a road runner. So are you!

Open question for the FriendFeed world: What band or musician would you say is the one you most enjoy and think most of that you don't own a single bit of their music? You like them when you hear them but you have no albums, tapes, CDs or paid downloads of them.

For me, probably Pere Ubu.
- Dave Slusher
What an excellent question! I'm going to say Massive Attack, but I'll probably re-think that before the day's out.

Also in the running: X, Lucinda Williams, Waylon Jennings, Circle Jerks, Public Image Limited . It would clearly be Brian Eno but I bought "Here Come the Warm Jets" from Amazon MP3 store a month or two ago.

PJ, as many hundreds of times that I have heard it, when I sit down to do the show, I always listen through the guitar solo all the way when I sound check. It keeps me from getting transfixed listening to it and forgetting to start the show. Which I have done.

I hate people that say "Failure is not an option." Best lesson I ever learned is that failure is ALWAYS an option. A lot of times failing at what you think is essential points you to something wildly more important that you weren't even thinking about.
J Wynia, Richard Klein, Susan A. Kitchens and 4 other people liked this
I take your point about the Essential Lessons Learned from Failure, but here's a counter-example: My s.o. wore a NASA tee shirt w/ that slogan the morning he was admitted for open heart valve replacement surgery. Surgeon was good, all went well.
- Susan A. Kitchens
How about "Failure is not a desirable option. But it IS a distinct possibility"? I just made that up!
- Paul Reynolds
Susan, I'd accept that as a counter-example if no surgeon has ever failed but they do. How about the case of the late Will Eisner?
- Dave Slusher
Paul, let's tighten that to "Failure is never the option you want but sometimes the option you need."
- Dave Slusher
Dave, OK, that merited a trip to various locations thanks to Google. Looks as tho the initial quardruple bypass surgery was okay, sadly recovery was not. Don't want discussion of these particulars to take away from your point which is that even in surgery, failure happens. Okay. In other related aphorisms, I'll toss out one from Randy Pausch, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want." ("don't get what you want" == failure?)

I find the premise of the site "What White People Like" offensive, and I have difficulty articulating why without sounding like a weiner.
Richard Klein liked this
Because it actually turns some of the racial stereotyping back on us?
- Cyndy
Because it really sucks to have people make assumptions about you when they don't know you based solely on your pigment?
- Dave Slusher
I seriously think that it's the idea that there IS a stereotype. It's not that it's that offensive, but the mere thought that there are people out there who might think all caucasians are like this gets under some people's skin.
- Cyndy
Cyndy & Dave - I think you've got it. I also think it's a subtle form of real racism -- all this pointing out how white people are goofy is sort of like how Victorian men said that women were more noble and angelic than men.

To make use of this wifi would need to be freely available everywhere. Other than that this is a great idea.

Here's how Amazon can deal with the iPhone "threat" to the Kindle: make a Kindle app for the iPhone. You heard it here first. :-)

I don't think the iPhone can really threaten the Kindle without eInk, particularly in regards to battery life.
- Richard Klein
I like the idea for the app, though!
- Richard Klein
A slightly larger iPhone would make an excellent reader and internet surfing device. The ultimate MID I think.
- Loren Heiny
Richard - those advantages the Kindle has could be it's selling points - the reason to buy a Kindle, rather than just read on your phone. Loren, I agree. The fabled "mini tablet Mac", or Return of Newton, or whatever you want to call it, is the stuff of dreams. :-)
- Josh Bancroft
@Jabancroft you should blog about your idea as it is a good one.

Anyone who is paying money for a spot in an iPhone line deserves to be taken for every nickel you can shake out of them.

I did modify the script to say "FriendFeed" instead of "idt", though. Slightly unethical but I liked the way it looked better. ;)

Ha ha! I did the same thing (changed the "via" tag) a couple weeks ago. I bet you tried something besides "FriendFeed" like I did and realized only a string registered with Twitter works.
