Seattle Marathon (26.2 miles) - was doing a great pace until I started cramping up around mile 18. Gutted the rest of it out to barely get a PR - 3:39:55 - http://runkeeper.com/user...
In retrospect, I may have gone out too fast...

As I have been bike commuting 2-3 days per week, these kinds of articles are catching my eye more. In short, be visible, make eye contact, and be careful out there.

This is exactly how it's supposed to work, and being in the Carolinas myself, this is great news.
- Dave Roth
Yup. It amazes me that states (hell, even on the national level) folks keep thinking they can just continue to try to mug the wealth generators and they will just sit still and be slaughtered for the benefit of parasites. Bullsh*t :)

Business climate was just one element of this decision. The main element is spelled u.n.i.o.n.

Statistics related to cyclist death and injuries. Riskiest time to ride: 6pm to 9pm. Most likely to be killed in a bike-auto crash: a 41-year-old male cyclist.

These stats are helpful, though. Read and find out what not to do. I immediately added more lights to my bike.

These are disturbing stats, but I am clicking and reading to find out the tips on avoiding biking injuries and worse...

I read something on the Florida Bicycle Association site that give some balance: http://www.floridabicycle.org/freedom...
- Chris Baskind
I really want to see more protective, more comfortable bicycle helmets. And better product ratings, plainly labeled at point of sale. I don't understand why there's not a LOT more discussion of the relative merits of helmets (beyond which one is lighter and looks coolest).

"Maybe you’ve read some of the stories this past week about how FriendFeed’s traffic is way down following their sale to Facebook. The stats don’t look good, as the site’s traffic may have plummeted as much as 30% following its peak just prior to the sale. But to anyone who has meaningfully used the site since its inception, you probably didn’t needs stats to tell you what should be obvious: FriendFeed has turned into a ghost town."

"One of the most compelling things about FriendFeed has always been just how easy it was to have a conversation on the site. Someone posted an item, and within seconds, many had robust conversation threads updating in the speed of realtime beneath them. This also lead to the occasional trollish activity, but overall it was great."
- Kol Tregaskes
Everyone loves the death/failure of people, companies and services. Its similar to a mob chanting for the executioner to kill the prisoner. Kind of a blood lust.
- Santa CW™
I guess it depends where you go in FriendFeed. In my sphere (life sciences), FF is currently gaining a lot of traction and new traffic.
- AJCann
I think it is the online-media focused crowd. It's all about posterous this week. In a few months it'll be something else.

- paisano
AJCann: it is my belief that FriendFeed will eventually find some nice niche audiences who will want to hang out here but I'm not sure it'll do well enough to survive long term and certainly not well enough to build a revenue stream for Facebook.
- Robert Scoble
The irony - many here worried that Facebook would kill FriendFeed. In fact, when many of us stopped using FF, we killed it.
- Rob McNair-Huff
Rob: sort of but I knew that first day that Facebook had bought FriendFeed for the team. That very first day there was a significant set of signals that FriendFeed wasn't going to get worked on further.
- Robert Scoble
I suspect the future hold ever closer integration for FriendFeed and Facebook, although whether that means the functionality of FF is moved into FB and FF eventually disappears is unknown at present. As long as the functionality of FF is maintained somewhere and not lost, that's fine. For me, this site is primarily about community, and ultimately I'll end up going wherever life sciences...

Web 2.0 social media killed the friend feed experience for me. It got harder to find any interesting, and original content. Look at your followers and see for yourself, the overwhelming majority are someway tied to marketing. These are your followers who speak at you, and do not have a conversation with you. I have nothing against marketing, I'm just saying to many chefs did spoil the soup.
- Joe Gata
I agree. So not anymore.

Dark Clouds for Sidekick Users - http://www.gottabemobile.com/2009...
So Sidekick users are screwed, and it may be tempting to get all self-righteous if you use another device. But what are the chances you could lose your personal data off your iPhone, for instance, if you are not careful to sync the machine with your computer every day? This is a major failure programmed into the way that the Sidekick works, but the rest of us are likely not as immune to these problems as we would like to think.

In Washington's four corners - http://www.thenewstribune.com/adventu...
My wife and I visited many of these locations - although not the hike to the mountain top in the Northeast corner of the state - when we wrote our Birding Washington book earlier in this decade. Everyone should explore these far flung corners of the state. Washington has a lot to offer that you simply couldn't conceive of from just sitting in the comfort of the Puget Sound region.

I can't help but think of "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" here. If memory serves, Andy's character just came into a small windfall, and his plans included getting a *second* TV for the bedroom, which he would mount sideways beside his bed so he could watch TV while lying on his side.
