Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out... - Greg Lato

this is underfaksink at its worzt - pb:
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" .. - pb:
Ah, OK, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :] - pb:
OMGosh, just 23 more likes to beat this: http://beta.friendfeed.com/imified... ;-) - Kol Tregaskes

Just 5 more likes needed. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Fax, Petr. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test) - Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little - SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What? - The original Kevin
LOL, Kevin. - Kol Tregaskes
i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm - Iphigenie
Ey, it would be a tad warm on there, especially after a long working day. ;-) - Kol Tregaskes
Caption which needs to be said aloud: Uh Ohz, I'm totally FAXED! - The Real sofarsoShawn
Hehe, Shawn. 10 more for the big 5-0-0. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Countdown! 8 more now! - Mike Nayyar

or just list location...I'll start...Chatsworth, CA - Mark Krynsky
I would but I won't - Outsanity

How do I add myself? - Mo Kargas
Grayson, GA - Rah-PM 2012
Puyallup, WA - Bren
Mo, I'm a newb to the shared maps stuff, but I turned on collaboration and allowed anyone to edit the map. There should be an edit button and then you can add a placemark. - Mark Krynsky
erm...Adelaide, SA, Australia - Mo Kargas
Sydney, Australia. - Andrew Trinh
Yeah, I don't see how to add anything to the map - Rah-PM 2012
But you already have Rahsheen. - Andrew Trinh
Well it's working because I see others are adding themselves...Make sure you are logged into your Google account. - Mark Krynsky
After most have put their placemarks on, don't let anyone edit it because there's always someone out there waiting to fuck shit up. - Andrew Trinh
@Andrew...good point. I just changed it from public to unlisted which only makes the map available to those with the URL. - Mark Krynsky
Even so, last time we had the Confessions account details on FF it was tinkered with. - Andrew Trinh
I added mine, but in the process of learning I think I nudged the Sydney, Australia points off a little. Sorry. - Rob H.
Ok, think I did it! - Bec Rowe @d0tski
Robert bought me a new house in the northern suburbs. - Andrew Trinh
@Bec...nice. You are the first brave female on here. - Mark Krynsky
Cool idea, Mark! I was thinking something like this would be fun the other day. Duly added myself - or at least the nearest big intersection. ;) - Jandy
Mousing over the usernames shows your Google profile info...cool. - Mark Krynsky

I've read the instruction and still don't see the button thing to add myself. I'm feeling pretty stupid right now. -
@Jill, make sure you are logged into your Google account and then click on the edit button above the list of names already on the map. You will then see the pushpin in the upper left hand side of the map. - Mark Krynsky
Thanks Mark! I see it all now. -
Great idea! - Alan Le
Added. Seems like there are a lot of us in the Bay Area...we must do a get together at some point. - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
@Neal yea, we really need a FriendFeed meetup. I might be up there for Web 2.0 in March...or we can have one at SXSW if a large number of us are going. Let's plan and get the Upcoming page going. - Mark Krynsky
Am I the only FriendFeeder in VA? - Aram Zucker-Scharff
@Mark Not gonna make SXSW, but am definitely down for working on an FF get together. March is long enough away to make sure plenty of people have time to plan ahead. I added you on Upcoming so we can start coordinating it. Anyone else interested/want to help set this up? - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
Maybe we can talk Paul & Bret into letting us invade the FF offices for a meetup in conjunction with Web 2.0? That would be sooooo cool! - Mark Krynsky

These are all done in Pencil.
Tiger in  Pencil.jpg
Bear in Pencil.jpg
Lion in Pencil.jpg
Show all
Impressive - M F
Great work! - Neya
I'm sorry but this is unbelievable:) I'll give credit to the artist upon more convincing proof! The photogenic look of the tiger and lion really helps the artist's case though:) - Roney Smith
I'm with Roney... I find this hard to believe... or maybe I'm just jealous that I can't even get stick people right! - Jasmin Smith
I don't believe it. Too amazing. - Rah-PM 2012
I'm with Rah - Shey
Only the lion looks like its drawn - embee
The bear and rhino look drawn, too. - Chris Charabaruk
very very talented. Wow they look like B&W pics you know photography. - Gabriella Sannino
These are amazing, were they done by you? - Angelo Rodrigues
Nice photographs - Rafael Robayna
@michael, if they weren't drawn by you, at least tell us who the artist is and the link - LouCypher
Link please? - Jason Wehmhoener
wow - Carolyn Chan
being slightly skeptical, i'm going to say these were done with pencil by a printer of some sorts... #justsayin - Enrique Gutierrez
they're beautiful, but skeptical as well - Jennifer Van Grove
Would need to see higher quality images to see if they are pencil or not - too many jpg artifacts to tell. - Luke Addison from twhirl
Stupefied. - Parth Awasthi
Wow!! Yeah it's pretty amazing what they can draw with a pencil nowadays, deviantART has lots of great pencil art. - Kol Tregaskes
Michael, who is the artist? - Kol Tregaskes
wow, cool! - Sarah Perez
I'm really happy everyone liked these. They're my most liked entry to date, Thanks! There also seems to be some question about whether these are actually Pencil Drawings.I can assure you that they are.When I get home, I should have the links. I have more drawings, too. - Michael Fidler from fftogo
O_O WOW...Stunning - Anna Haro
Wow, these are stunning!! - Susan Beebe
Yes, especially the tiger. Reminds me of that "Tiger, tiger burning bright." - Melanie Reed
Alright, Mike - I believe you. These are awesome. Good job! - Enrique Gutierrez
HOLY CRAP. - Chieze Okoye
no way! - Mister Groonk
Thanks Enrique, I'll post some more soon. They are a little more obvious than these ones. As Luke points out; without being able to look closely it's impossible to tell. He's right; but up close it's more obvious. I'll upload the originals to Picasa later, and then you'll be able to zoom in with any photo viewer and see for yourselves. I can't believe how many people liked these. A few people have reposted them already. Thanks! - Michael Fidler
Absolutely awesome, Michael. You are extremely talented. Everyone should repost these pix and help to make you famous. You should be doing this full time - you obviously have some passion for this. Bravo. - Chris Loft
These are really beautiful, Michael. Do you sell them? - Shannon Jiménez
Chris, I would love to say they're mine, but it's not true. I've had them for a while, but I'll find the artists names. It will just require a little backtracking. Besides, they deserve the credit; all I did was find them:-) - Michael Fidler
Cut the bullshit! :) Photos are very good. - Burçak Çubukçu
I draw alot in pencil, but they are amazing, the best for me is the girl, that is the most photo-like one. :o) - Rob Sellen :o)
I agree Rob, the girl is amazing. My favorite by far! Wait until you see it close up! It's really had to tell, even up close! - Michael Fidler
Burçak Çubukçu If these were photographs, they would be very good. As Pencil Drawings,(which they are), they're amazing. - Michael Fidler
Wow, amazingly realistic - Threepwood
@Michael Fidler did you draw them? How can you so sure? - Burçak Çubukçu
dont look like it - Prakash
@ Michael Fidler don't push so hard :) - Burçak Çubukçu
@Burçak Çubukçu I can't tell if your serious now or just kidding around. I hope your just having fun! If you are serious, I've never given you a reason to question my integrity, nor do I ever intend to. However, the second set is up now, so judge them for yourself, but don't judge me! http://ff.im/1BJh5 BTW, I messed up and reposted the shot of the women again. Oh well. Hope you like them:-) - Michael Fidler
@Michael: try deviantART, not Picasa, to submit your artworks - LouCypher
WOW "I can't believe it's in pencil" - The Real sofarsoShawn
LouCypher, I know it well, but I don't see why I would want to do that. I hope everyone knows by now that they're not mine? I'm sorry, but I can't say it any clearer than that. - Michael Fidler
nah, i don't believe it is done in pencil. i am sure it is photoshopped :) - hasin hayder
These would be great even for photos. - Sullivan
i'm not able to comprehend - Varun Shenoy
I'm finding this both interesting and humorous at the same time. There's a separate message board where this post is being discussed and it has another forty comments on it already. I think its great how this has created some lively discussion, considering that when I posted this I was doubtful if anyone would even like it. When I went to sleep last night there was only had 3 or 4 likes... more... - Michael Fidler
Very interesting. I would like to see them up close and in person...just to make sure. Bill said it's real and possible. Your 2nd set of picts look like pencil. Nice work in finding these! - LaFern Cusack
Kol, I can't thank you enough! Kol found another post which helps to prove that these are done in pencil. I had my doubts about a few of them because I collected them from several different sites over time, but the site Kol found has done a great job pulling together an impressive collection of these drawings and more. Take a look - http://www.flickzzz.com/2009... - Michael Fidler
Actually there are more than what this site shows. There's an entire set with the cats(little cats), which I have, and there's a new portrait set. - Michael Fidler
Found your post here, Michael. :-) I tried my best to find the artists. - Kol Tregaskes
Amazing and very very very good.... Very impressive ... - Linda Zeek-Bobinski
fake. http://lenscratch.blogspot.com/2009... Even if your not claiming to be the artist, these are photographs, well except the woman, thats pencil - james foor
Yeah we know, thanks though, James. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Excellent pictures - how long did it take you to scan the photographs into Photoshop and then edit them? The only pencil that has come into contact with these "drawings" is the Photoshop pencil. A tip - stop trying to fool people into thinking you are a "real" artist, because all you are doing is cheapening proper artist's works whom have spent hours creating real pictures as opposed to a few minutes on a graphics editing package. - The Wimp
A bell does ring here. And I am remembering why I was so attracted to the tiger...and the lion for that matter. These are exact replicas of prints I had in our bedroom when I lived in Dallas. I had bought the prints (in color) at a department store, - Melanie Reed
Actually, I have learned quite a bit about these drawing since I made this post. Not only have I discovered all of the artists, but I've learned more about how they are created. They are always copied from a photograph or painting, but usually a photograph. It is extremely time consuming and detail orientated work. There are many other artists besides the ones featured here who practice... more... - Michael Fidler
Most of them have portfolio's on deviantart.com and their work is truly amazing even if they are copies of other artists work. I suppose with this level of detail, they have to start with something. Nevertheless, I'm still in awe of their talent. Melanie, the animal prints you refer to are from a very well renowned photographer. The originals are B&W I'll look it up later but I do have... more... - Michael Fidler
wow; they're unbelieavably beautiful. - liladreams
Has anyone ever corrected the record and pointed out, with the exception of the Charlize Theron drawing, that these are indeed photos by Alexander Von Reiswitz? - erik weisz
Erik, thank you for bringing this up again, but I think I already mentioned something about this in my prior comment. However, since it appears that you only signed up to friendfeed to leave a single comment, (ok, why?) I will try to summarize what I wrote previously. In brief, I learned after doing a little research that all photo-realistic drawings like the ones that I shared here,... more... - Michael Fidler
Awesome - الکامپ
I can assure you that what are claimed to be drawings of animals, in your post here, are photos. I used a website to that allows you to do an comparison of the Von Reiswitz photos and the images you have posted here. There are no differences. Every hair matches up. As a pencil artist myself I can tell you that it's pretty much impossible to get that kind of accuracy and have it look... more... - erik weisz
but... it has to be real, i saw it on the internet - Iphigenie
Eric, it doesn't matter to me if you just joined, and I apologize if I made you think otherwise. If you have any questions regarding friendfeed, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them. At this point, I would be happy if we could find someone who is an image analysis expert, and finally point this thing to rest. Every time that I look into this, all I find is a... more... - Michael Fidler
the site spammed above must all be done in pencil too, right, thats why you posted it? - Iphigenie
I'm amazed that people are still posting these photographs of animals and calling them pencil drawings. This is at least the third case I can remember (and there are probably more) of this happening. The myth about them being drawings was debunked long ago. It's also funny that whenever they get posted the person posting them doesn't make it clear that they aren't the artist, exactly as you have done. - canadianmaple09
@canadianmaple09 I posted these back in March, 2009 when I was beginning to use FF regularly. I ran them through TinEye hoping to find their source, but it returned no results. When I ran through again yesterday, TinEye returned over four pages of results. If I had it to do over again, would I? Yes - Michael Fidler
The people you refer do don't join "just to slam" someone, they are concerned members of the online art community that want to see real art appreciated and fake art or photos being passed off as drawings revealed for what they really are. Artists such as Brian Duey, Armin Mersmann, Paul Lung, Zindy Nielsen,and many others do not receive the appreciation they deserve because of scams like this. - canadianmaple09
canadianmaple09, the worthiness of your motives notwithstanding (and they are worthy, definitely) you could definitely have approached Michael completely differently by say, giving him the benefit of the doubt rather than attacking in a highly accusatory tone. - Chieze Okoye
When you've seen these same pictures posted multiple times by people that just find them on the internet and claim they are pencil drawings, when it has already been established on multiple occasions that they are not, the "benefit of the doubt" approach seems a little too generous. People post these images and claim they're drawings to get views for their own site or blog or page or whatever it is they post it on. It's wrong and it needs to be stopped. - canadianmaple09
I can understand that, but you should also keep in mind that everyone is not as well-versed in the issue as you are. All I'm saying is that you would probably be more effective in this case if you weren't setting this up as a us-vs.-them, "must destroy with the validity my argument!" attitude when talking to a guy who's been actively having a discussion on the issue in what seems to me (having been around when he first posted the images and the follow up thread and what not) to be good faith. - Chieze Okoye
Look at his first comment here. People clearly thought he drew them. He doesn't set the record straight. He also claims that they "are actually pencil drawings" and that "I have more drawings too." Later he claims that you need to look at them closer to see they are drawings and that he will "post the originals". Once again, this makes it sound like they are his. This follows the same... more... - canadianmaple09
Greg and Chieze, thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. @canadianmaoles09, for what it’s worth, I share your concerns about giving proper attribution when sharing also. However, I admit that I'm more conscious of it now than I was at the time of this post. Nevertheless, I have never taken credit for anybody's work here other than my own! - Michael Fidler
BTW, I didn't realize it before, but I just noticed that you're new here too. I hope you like it so far and spend more time here. IMO, friendfeed is still the best thing around! - Michael Fidler
I would probably qualify as an image analysis expert, but there's no way to prove that online. One thing we can do is look at color. Even though the images are black and white,they're actually RGB images, meaning they contain cyan magenta and yellow. If you look at the image of the rhino you have posted then look at the photo of the rhino at the photographer's site you can see they both... more... - erik weisz

Hehehe... thanks! - Nathan Chase

I like the sound and good song. Did the guitarist mix it? Personally, i'd like the vocals to stand out more and the guitar just a tad less in areas but i like it. Very nice. /grats - ·[▪_▪]·
yeah we mixed/mastered ourselves... I agree - the vocals as a whole could be a little more present. getting them to be up front without "hearing the mic" is a tough balance. - Nathan Chase

nice song, so re: the tech - you ended up w/ enclosure generated by postero.us then reshared to your main feed, that produced the playbar? - mike "glemak" dunn
@Mike - that's correct. I imported the postero.us as a service to a private FriendFeed group, and reshared the imported post to my Home feed - Nathan Chase
vocals to the front, guitars to the back, and a great track you have there. - Marcos Marado

if you liked the track, please vote it up over at http://www.cherrypeel.com/song... - thanks! - Nathan Chase
Awesome, when you make it big time maybe layer more guitar tracks on top, but what do i know, you're the musician. PS peeps song keeps getting better as it goes. - SteVe C
thanks Steve - yeah, we only have the single guitarist, so we just tried to capture what we pull of live, with a bit more polish. Glad you like the track! - Nathan Chase
Dude, this is your band? I stumbled on them today completely unrelated and by accident. Strange days... great band. I love both tracks, want more, will pay ;) - Michael W. May
You're not going to believe this, but I didn't get a chance to hear this when you posted it, and then MWM linked me to the band's MySpace, and I just started randomly listening and was like, hey, great drum work. I SWEAR I thought that before I even looked at the people in the band and realized it was your band! I really like your sound. - Jandy
Love the intro (guitar is fun). Drums great throughout. Please let me know where to find a website or something for your band, Nathan! This is just up my alley! - Chieze Okoye

It could have been Myspace, but I don't see what would have led me to your page. I did end up there, though *points to friend request and blog sub* - Michael W. May
Friend Request Approved! :) - Nathan Chase from IM
Also just sent a Friend Request. Oh, the other thing I thought seeing the MySpace page? Wow, a MySpace page that doesn't suck! ;) - Jandy

Feeling kind of frustrated and meh. Not sure how I want to "spend my free time" anymore... feel like I'm losing touch with communities I had been connected in before and can't decide if I want to spend the effort reconnecting, while simultaneously feeling stressed that I'll end up lonely if I don't. :S
Also kind of depressed because I feel like no one is going to really notice/miss me if I don't keep up those connections... Maybe it's time to make new friends. - Lindsay

Time for a Big Idea Discussion (after a lengthy drought). Today, let's talk about relationships. What constitutes a romantic relationship? That is, say you're in one - how do you know? It seemed obvious until I stopped to think about it. Is there something for you that is mandatory for a relationship (e.g. sex, compliments, shared finances)?
This seems to lead to questions about the purpose & function of a partnership, and that's okay too. If you're new to Las Ideotas, the first rule is that there really aren't any rules. Go off topic, it's all good. - Lo the Baker
If I'm in a romantic relationship, sex/intimate touching/making out better be part of it. Otherwise, we're just close friends. - Mary Carmen
But Mary, how about all those guys caught up in a one sided romantic relationship with you? - topernic
I think it's definitely based on physical, mental and emotional intimacy. If you don't have all three, in my mind, it's not a romantic relationship...or at least not one that's built to last. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I gave it up for lent 7 years ago - just ZONED
I'm pretty sure that there is no one out there pining for me. And as far as one-sided relationships go, you never know until you try. I always tell people to go for it. I agree with Alex's comment. - Mary Carmen
In case you're wondering, what prompted this question is my current "relationship." It's so far from my expectations I have a hard time using the word "boyfriend" (tend to default to "roommate"), and that's had me thinking about what exactly I expected instead. - Lo the Baker
How about: not what you expect, but what you WANT in a relationship with another person. - Mary Carmen
Whatever you do with the relationship, keep the noise down - "Loud sex enough for cops to search your home, court rules" http://bit.ly/a90ZZK - topernic
difficult to define - if it's a romantic relationship, there's some sexual aspect, but I expect other layers of intimacy, not the least of which are honest discussions about deeper topics than video games, and a willingness to claim they are in a relationship. (I say this having dissected my own - let's call it a "thing" since it is not a "relationship". Whether these things are... more... - ωαřмaiden ☆TeamOtto☆
Sex isn't... Intimacy is... If I can't wrap my arms around you at almost any point during the day, we aren't really a couple. In fact, I think that may be the sine qua non of relationships for me. - tehKenny
Some things I've realized I want from not getting them: being allowed to talk about relationship issues at some time, even if it's unpleasant - it doesn't have to be right at a given moment, but sometime. Even if you have sexual issues and aren't feeling it, you care enough about the other person to try to help them have some satisfaction. You do things to support each other and make... more... - Lo the Baker
Topernic, that's both hilarious & scary. Thanks for the tip! :) - Lo the Baker

Yes, yes and yes. And I also like Kenny's definition. - Mary Carmen
Is marriage needed then? - topernic
Needed for a relationship, or legal reasons? Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries :) - Lo the Baker
I was just wondering how strongly people feel marriage is needed beyond the legal side. - topernic
That is an interesting question. - Lo the Baker
My relationship was official on the night he kissed me. (Go ahead, "oh" and "aw" lol) It happened after several nights of long talks that tended towards personal info. The kiss was unspoken to be the moment we sort of "claimed" each other. I think the mental and emotional sharing/connection can be the bulk of a relationship, but there has to be some physical closeness (even if it's long... more... - <3Heather<3

Back from Glee panel. It was in a HUGE space. Made the VM panel seem so quaint and cozy. Next ep is AWESOME.
You guys, the best part was the next episode, "Hello." We saw a director's cut. Ryan Murphy said it wasn't anywhere near being locked, but it was great. GREAT.

Well, http://www.ffholic.com sorta does that, Rahsheen. For example, it says you're the ~350th or so most active user, and I'm the ~2000th, so one could sort of extrapolate from those sorts of stats. - Ken Sheppardson

206? That's it? I mean, I understand we're likely not going to get many non-English respondents, but 206? - Ken Sheppardson
Ken, you'll recall that not everyone with hands participated in Hands Across America. - Micah
Ken that's about 26% of those who are subscribed to you. What would be interesting to do is go to each of their accounts and see how many of your 785 subscribers are actually active, i.e. have they made a native posting here recently, have they commented on anyone's post recently. I'll bet you that a significant number of those who are following you are not actually active users. - Jeff P. Henderson
I don't think this method is very scientific, Ken! As you said above, you're the 2000th as far as activity. If you got a more active user, and/or one with lots of followers to post this same question, you would get different numbers. Also, the way you phrased this originally, you didn't ask people to share it, bump it, etc. - Laura Norvig
You all have made great points about what's wrong with the method, and I'll probably do a little write-up that addresses them and does some analysis of the results... but meanwhile... 209? Come on, if you see this, consider yourself an active FF user, but haven't liked or commented... why not? - Ken Sheppardson
I don't know if this was already mentioned, but remember that there are lots of non-English-speaking FFers not covered by this survey. There are also probably some people who just aren't in our circle. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from fftogo
