One of my favorite high school teachers used to give a short motivational speech to his classes on Fridays. He was one of those teachers that everyone loves and becomes a local legend. He retired last June and had a huge party. This September, instead going back to school, he started a blog and posts his motivational thoughts for us each Friday. :)
It's been really cool seeing old classmates commenting on his blog. I look forward to his post every Friday. - Rochelle
Be even better to know the link - it'd be interesting to see what he offers. :) - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
Thanks for the prompt response and link it's appreciated. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
I love that he leaves off each post with the same advice. did he do that in class, too? - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Nathalie, he did! That exact same thing. :) - Rochelle
that is so awesome!! what a gift that teacher is! - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Had a teacher back in middle school, Mr. Roach he is one of those who really took the time to make sure the kids enjoyed what they were learning, it is to bad that over time we lost touch but it is amazing a teacher continues what he has started even after not being on the job. It must of truly been a passion of his. - Raymond Marr aka Knatchwa
Awesome. I want to subscribe to that. I miss teachers like that. - joey
This is so cool, I hope that I'm a good teacher like that =D - Marissa
wow, that is very cool! - Loc
That's awesome =) - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

I have an interview tomorrow morning. It's supposed to be for a contract gig taking claim photos for an insurance company. The first time they mention selling insurance instead of taking pictures, I'm walking out.
Good luck tomorrow! :-) - Rene Wirtz
Good luck, Tina! - Alex Scoble
Thanks all =) It's not a 'real' job (meaning it won't be full time, likely wouldn't be enough to get me off unemployment), but it would get me out of the house. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Fingers crossed for you, Tina! :) - directeur
Oh, and in case you're curious why I'd walk out of an interview for insurance sales: it's a crock. You have to pay for training, state certification, and then typically work commission only. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Good luck!! - jcunwired
I hear you, and agree with you. - Ian May
Glad I'm not alone with my anti-insurance sales stance... On the plus side, the interview is down the street from my credit union so I can at least combine errands even if I leave the interview early. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Good luck! Hope it works out for you. - Anne Bouey
Good luck, Tina! :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Good Luck :) - Mahdi Ebrahimi
Best of luck, Tina, and I hope it's a great job. - WorldofHiglet
Thanks for the wishes all, but the interview was this morning and it was a bust. They tried to get me to sell insurance, which is on my short "Not Gonna Happen" list. - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
:( sucks - and you even thought they would. Onward and upward, though. - WorldofHiglet
At least you were prepared for that. Still. Boo. :/ - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF from iPhone
GAH! Interesting though - my husband works for one of Australia's largest insurance companies. He started out in sales (inbound call centre), got paid for his training period and his starting wage was (I think) $38K + bonuses. No certification required. - Mellissa Jane
@Mellissa - there is a distinct split between kinds of insurance companies in the US. A lot of the larger ones fall into the category that you describe (I have a friend who works for one), but I've also had another friend fall into the trap Tina's describing. I'm glad your husband is at the good kind :) - Jennifer Dittrich
I was going to wish you luck Tina until I read what you went through. Total Boo on that! - Helen Sventitsky
All the best - LANjackal
After posting my resume on the major job boards, you wouldn't believe how many insurance companies e-mailed me with the "we have a perfect position for you" pitch. Unfortunately my skills and experience do not include 'Insurance Sales or Insurance Agent' or anything remotely resembling this type of work. My resume clearly states "Seeking a position as a Sr. Mechanical Engineer" What part of that statement do these idiots not understand??? - Jeff P. Henderson
Tina, I hope you at least got to make it to the credit union, so that the entire trip wasn't a total waste. - Derek Coward

Wow. What an ordeal, and yet it looks like you're so close to a happy ending. So lucky that Audrey is a trooper and seems to have recovered. This explains all the trouble sleeping. Your lives are about to change for the better - again! Thinking of you guys. - Louis Gray
Thanks, Louis! - Akiva Moskovitz

Robert Scoble
The biggest difference between Twitter and Facebook - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
Robert, I'm on a few social networks: Twitter, Brightkite, Friendfeed (obviously), and MySpace. Do you think I should try Facebook? - Tony C
Tony: Facebook is now to the status that you HAVE to be on it. I have no idea how you survived so long already. Even the prison warden is on it and he's a late adopter type. - Robert Scoble
Robert: Thanks! I'm leaning towards signing up. - Tony C
Hehe. Im not on Facebook. Mainly becuase none of my RL friends are on. - Roberto Bonini from iPhone
Wow - Tony and Robert are now officially the first people I've met with Twitter accounts that are not on Facebook - Jesse Stay
Jesse, I wouldn't have one either, but the account deletion is so hard and complicated, I removed all my friends and info once in '06 and again in '08, though I didn't get rid of the friends that time. - Jimminy
Rob: I'm on Facebook and have been since the very beginning. Do I put much effort into it? No. Twitter is FAR superior for what I do. - Robert Scoble
Robert - why would you not put more effort into Facebook a fan page would be a great way to reach a whole new set of people. - Rob Cairns
Rob: I will do that. I just find that anyone who is anyone in the tech industry reads Twitter. - Robert Scoble
But I will put more time into my Facebook Page soon. - Robert Scoble
Robert - I tend to agree a lot of people are on Twitter in the tench industry no question. It is just hard to sometimes get your point across in 140 characters. - Rob Cairns
Robert, I don't read Twitter - I do read FriendFeed and Facebook (and hopefully your Twitter comes over here if you want me to see it). - Jesse Stay
I do check my replies and have searches delivered to me from Twitter though, as I do everywhere on the internet. - Jesse Stay
Jesse: it does so you do read my Twitter. And when lists get here you will switch. I guarantee that. - Robert Scoble
Robert, I already have lists on Facebook. The only advantage Twitter gives me is I can subscribe to an entire list. I'll use lists on SocialToo, for sure - I see the benefit for those that prefer Twitter. I just don't see enough reason for lists to pull me over there though. Maybe I'm wrong though - I just heard some news that will definitely make me think twice (it will be announced next week). - Jesse Stay
Jesse - Good idea:) It makes life easy does it not. - Rob Cairns
(think twice about Twitter) - Jesse Stay
Jesse: cool. Can you call me? +1-425-205-1921 - Robert Scoble
Jesse why are you thinking twice about Twitter - Rob Cairns
What control do we have over what we see in the Facebook News Feed and Live Feed? FB changes things faster than I can learn the old system. I saw maybe 20 messages in a row regarding one person's rejection of various events. It would be nice to be able to turn that off. - SuezanneC Baskerville
Suezanne, use friend lists and filter by friend list - Jesse Stay
Differences: 1. Facebook is a walled garden, Twitter is mostly public information (so is Friendfeed). 2. Facebook has reciprocal friending, Twitter is non-reciprocal (so is Friendfeed). 3. Facebook allows commenting on updates (so does Friendfeed), Twitter is just tweets. - Michael Slattery
Now if I (as a regular nobody) want to be heard - other than by someone checking their vanity feed - I have to go to Facebook or Friendfeed. I use Twitter just as a reader - in place of RSS. - Michael Slattery
Michael, is it really walled if everyone is a member? In that regard, isn't the internet itself a walled garden? - Jesse Stay
really i will see that site...please visit my site http://ipod-video-gallery-idha... - idham ubaguru
Jesse, I've been trying to find a link I saw recently, an article where the featured person explains that Facebook will stay a walled garden because that obliges everyone to come to them. What is walled off is not the members - as you say, everyone will join - but the content. - Michael Slattery
Jesse Stay, make that 3 people now. I'm on Twitter and FF but not Facebook. Originally it was that I was concerned about privacy. Now it's mostly that I am more interested in learning and tracking information. Since not many people know me IRL, I'm not sure how it would work out with the reciprocal friending so Twitter and FriendFeed seem best for my use. If Robert and you didn't know and have as part of your work knowing so many people more personally, would it still be the same for you? - metalerik
Meta, not sure I understand your question, but the reason I like Facebook so much is because it allows me to get to know people more personally. There's no better networking than getting to know people in real life, and Facebook encourages that. Yet, at the same time if you want to remain more anonymous you can do that as well. - Jesse Stay
Thanks Jesse. I'm always interested in learning new tools. - metalerik
Does anyone here use Facebook in a more anonymous way? I remember after Facebook bought FF, people were talking about how they use FF and Facebook in completely different ways and with an almost entirely separate group of people. - metalerik
I check both compulsively. Entirely different audience for me. Fb = rl friends. I hardly add anyone that I don't know. Twitter = rest of the world. Sometimes I'm quite annoyed by the noise coz a lot of my friends try lots of apps, and I spent atleast one day a month hiding all that noise :). It matter less on Twitter - Shivanand Velmurugan from Alert Thingy
Meta, anyone using a Facebook Fan Page is - Jesse Stay
More differences: 4. Twitter input is limited to 140 characters, Facebook input can be much more than that (as can Friendfeed input). 5. Twitter is a raw feed of tweets only, Facebook has multiple types of feeds such as updates, links, notes etc. (and Friendfeed is an aggregator of feeds produced elsewhere). 6. Twitter is just now introducing lists, while Facebook has a system of... more... - Michael Slattery

Does this God really do things of this caliber? I have only seen nature and the hand of man. No wet rag or anything just curious?? Have a good day sir. - ThatDBD
... [i was wondering why you shared this again] - Chris Heath
@ThatDBD: it all depends on how you define God. I do not subscribe to the western idea of a person-God. But when I look up at a starfield, I feel a very deep sense of awe and wonder and unity that moves me. Some would call it spiritual. Modern Christians talk about the "Holy Spirit" - a term descended from the Greek “pneuma hagion” - which roughly translates to modern English as “cosmic breath” or “unifying breath” - and, as a general concept, that's something I can get on board with. ;) - Anthony Citrano
I am cool with that; but I have been prevented from working by Gov & MCF's for so long the out doors is all to familiar. Keep saving my spiritual encounters for HOOTERS, get down to earth believing in higher powers there. B cool Dude Love your neighbors - and please discern propaganda when you see it. :--) - ThatDBD
