"It looks that way. Although I know we are a select few!" - rodmitch

"That's sort of the gist of my point. What marriage "is", ontologically, if you will, is long established. It's not my opinion or that of anyone that makes it what it is. There aren't various "definitions" of marriage. There's marriage and there are things that are not marriage. Describing one thing in the same way as a second thing doesn't make the first become the second." - rodmitch

"Hey thanks for your comment! I just found your blog a week or two ago and love all the food content. The post I linked to on Ffffood didn't mention the lime juice which, obviously makes it even more ceviche-esque. And that's what inspired me to start looking for other, similar ideas. You're right about the tomato caviar, though. That's the part I kept thinking about. I haven't had a chance to make any yet---I'm waiting for our tomatoes to come in---but it is such a simple, beautiful, flavorful idea." - rodmitch

"You can call a malt beverage a distilled spirit but . . ." - rodmitch

"Yeah, I used to use BugMeNot and it's awesome. Now, it's just more like, why? Honestly if I really want to read something I'll put in some effort but most of the time, meh. The bar is getting higher." - rodmitch

Facebook makes it official: "Starting today, you can comment on your friends' Mini-Feed stories right from their profile." - Louis Gray via Bookmarklet

yeah it was live and already got shut off on my profile. looks like they're having issues, i got 3 different error messages when trying to use - MG Siegler

Yay! Facebook's borrowing a great feature from FriendFeed. I love Facebook because a lot of my real-world friends are there. Hopefully we can get Facebook buzzing. Most of my 17-80+ friends are annoyed by the games. It's really cool to hear that Dan's daughter just won a ski race, or Louis Gray has twins, Susan has been feeling sick, or John is headed to Europe next month... - Mitchell Tsai

I wonder if the items will repost in the feed like in FF? I already have problems on facebook in that *none* of my non-tech friends like to comment on anything. I'll use the posted items application and theyll bring something up a month later in person rather than leaving a comment on the item itself. - Frankie Warren

Comments are back. - Hao Chen

Various diet people advocate eating more than three times a day. However, I don't think that Taco Bell is what they had in mind. - Ontario Emperor

But... there are grains (well, there were before they were processed), meat, dairy, and some vegetables there. - Yolanda

In addition to fourth meal and night lunch, you can call it nunch http://friendfeed.com/e/0b51d1... - Ontario Emperor

Nunch... sounds vaguely dirty. - Yolanda

"We went out to see a band, and then we nunched." Hmm... - Ontario Emperor

"Hmm, yes, well I don't mind answering the phone when I'm there, but, if I'm not available, I'd rather get an email than a voicemail." - rodmitch

Then again, there is often cilantro in salsa. - torque

"Hey, that's pretty cool, thanks! I'd love to see something like that for State Legislatures but in California there are no transcripts of the floor activities to index. Maybe an index of the text of the bills that are debated each day of session would be interesting. Hmmm..." - rodmitch

We've been happy with this one from IKEA - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/cata.... And it's cheap! - Mike Doeff

Thanks for the link Mike. Perhaps for child number 2 we will go with the Ikea version! - Jon-Paul Bussoli

Ditto on that IKEA highchair. We've been happy with it. Light, small, easy to clean. It comes with a tray not pictured. - rodmitch

We use the Fisher-Price Rainforest High Chair. Our son's been using it since he was able to sit up and eat (he's now 21 months). It comes with a toy that latches on to the tray to keep him entertained while we get the food ready. http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-P... - RyanEs

Continuing: You think you're prepared for it. "I pulled all-nighters in college." But nothing can prepare you for how much it affects your life. It will get better - keep telling yourself that - and you will sleep for more than 3 hours at a time again. But you will never return to the sleep you had before you had kids. - Carla Thompson

Despite my implied bravado, I don't have any illusions that we're prepared. My activity here shows I often get up early and stay up late. My wife's been getting up every 4 hours to take pills. But as much as the exhaustion that's sure to be there (x2), the sense of being out of control will definitely contribute. As I told Cyndy earlier today, I know we can prepare all we want, but we won't be 100% ready. Should be fun. :-) - Louis Gray

Yep, you can't possibly prepare yourselves. Just hunker down, call in every possible friend and relative for support and know it will end and things will get much easier. And make sure your wife has a good girlfriend. She's going to need to cry on the phone to someone when her hormones are going ballistic. - Carla Thompson

"That came straight from the website but I notice the "Download Ringtone" option is gone now." - rodmitch

"Oh, you cant even tell. :)" - rodmitch

"j" key for friendfeed please! - Dobromir Hadzhiev

also aiderss http://www.aiderss.com/ is very helpful for popular blogs which have lots of posts everyday - ahmet bulent

I agree. AideRSS is excellent. I hope they continue to iterate and make it easier to manage volume and flow. - rodmitch

""This place is really good."* If there are other places like this in the Sacramento area please tell me about them. The Sac Rag(.com) sums up my impression the best: "Here's the thing, I'm not…" - rodmitch

Somebody I read today -- Arrington? -- said the FF folks say that's coming. - Eric Johnson

Yes, yes we do. - rodmitch

This article is awesome. I did it a little differently, though. More Smart Lists - Rahsheen Porter

Nice article, but it seems too complicated for me. - hiroshimo

@Jeroen I would suspect that the UI would get cluttered with that many projects. I typically have 8-10 projects at the most going at one time. I do like how the tab stack the way they do. I think that is why he has some Smart Lists and that is why you work from them instead of straight from the Project's tab itself. - Michael Ramm

Many of the features described in the article are very well thought out. It is a bit complex but efficient. I think at some point the number of projects would make this system unwieldy. - rodmitch

This guy came up with another, albeit similar, approach. screencast: http://ryan.mcgeary.org/screen... Each approach has interesting elements. - Todd Mundt

"It's not me that's gross, really. Parenting is inherently gross. But really, did you click through to the results? I can't believe how segregated it is." - rodmitch

great overview on using RTM for GTD. - rodmitch

"Hrrm...interesting. Well I know exactly what you're thinking, and you're right, they forgot to make a "Jesus and little boy playing Halo online" model. Hopefully that's one they're working on. Now you know how much I hate to get all religious, so I'll just say this -- Jesus was on my swim team in grade school and I think he may have cheated. For one, all he ever did was run on water -- which is not technically swimming. And secondly, it was the 10-12 age bracket and he was like 30 and had a beard." - Bret Taylor

JC helps with all ... these are kewl! - romerotron3000

why is it I'm not offended, and yet I think this isn't funny either? kind of ignorant and already done. Buddy Jesus... already done - Noah David Simon

where do you even get one of these? - Sean Hanna via twhirl

"Indeed. Actually the full quote is a recommendation that following the toddler's schedule is the best way to keep up with the toddler so I guess you're doing it right!" - rodmitch

Thanks for working on this. In the meantime, I have mitigated my specific issue by streaming my last.fm recently played tracks to a separate room, http://friendfeed.com/rooms/la... - Ontario Emperor

YEP... this is a good one...thanks Ontario!! :-) - Susan Beebe

@Ross, not enough yet, we'll keep workin on it ;) - Tim Hoeck

Try bTT by sobees: http://www.sobees.com/ it has some good FriendFeed filter settings you might find useful - Stephen B via Alert Thingy

Heh. A) I don't use Winblows. B) I use friendfeed via the browser and don't really need/want a 3rd party app. - Erica Baker

I thunked it ran on .NET 3.5 framework? - Stephen B via Alert Thingy

yes, it runs on .net 3.5 - Alessandro

Ditto the request in this message. - rodmitch

Nice quote. I'm still trying to come to grips with balancing startup life and real life. :) - Michael Kowalchik
