Also, I respect that you have such a full life, yet you are willing to take time out to do this research. ;) Maybe you can administer the fist-o to Melissa for me. I hear she likes it slow at first, but then harder, and then slower at the end.

Sorry to hijack the thread, I just don't like preconceptions about hip-hop ;-)

Louis, no, actually you wanted to hijack the thread. Don't be pretending you are some high-road hip-hop intellectual. You're just like anyone. You like to hear yourself talk (or type). :)

Maybe there's a lesson in there: if you can't explain it clearly in english, it's probably structured unclearly to begin with?

After listening to last week's TWiT, I'm more skeptical over Facebook
- Molly, "sorry"
FriendFeed never implemented hiding by keyword, even though people asked for it a lot. If you follow someone, you get all their posts, not just their techy ones (or whatever you filter for).
- Bruce Lewis
I don't use Twitter that much, I use FF and FB more
- Molly, "sorry"
Twitter is more popular because it's optimized for talking, not listening: http://friendfeed.com/friendf...

never twitter......I like FF and just browse FB

I use FB to keep in touch with friends of mine

WHA?

Another thing about FriendFeed that inhibits popularity: Your feed is full of people getting more attention than you're getting. On Twitter you don't see that as much, so you feel better.

Hi WoH, one of the SitePoint books (Kevin Yank's "Data Driven Web Site w/ PHP and MySQL) is a great introduction...there's a Christmas advent sale on now: http://sale.sitepoint.com/ ... I can't see into the future, but I'd bet that one of the upcoming deals might include that book ... ;-) You can also get a PDF sample of it that's something like 4 chapters worth: http://www.sitepoint.com/books...

Recipe for Sexy Time: Taiwanese Sweet Butter Brick Toast 奶酥吐司 | sinosoul.com - http://sinosoul.com/?p=3594

"Recipe for “Butter Milk” in Chinese courtesy of Flower Grass Garden. Ingredients: 1/2 cup of non-fat powered milk 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, dial down for less sugary result. 1/3 cup of salted butter 1/2 egg yolk 2 slices of 1″-thick brick toast. Margarine is actually a better substitute than butter as it melts much quicker into the bread, but a true carb whore will always drop her panties faster upon the smell of real butter. Here comes the tough part: don’t use regular bread and don’t even think about doubling up Wonder Bread. I use dense toast found at Asian bakeries, may it be Japanese/Chinese or otherwise. The last time around, the source of brick toast was Domie’s Bakery in Rosemead. The cashier girl, knowing the ultimate purpose for said loaf, smiled wide & deftly sliced the 6″ loaf of bread into fours, resulting in slices that are 1.5″ thick. This is good. Girls like it thick, so they tell me."

This may be worse than the misadventures I had after reading Mona's moaning about steamed mussels and fries. FML?

I agree with enough of these choices that I'll definitely be checking out the ones I haven't heard.
- Louis Simoneau
the #1 choice kind of surprised me, though...

I may or may not have also decided to bake chocolate chip cookies

I also may or may not have eaten 2 cookies (or so) worth of dough.

I usually wind up eating about half the dough...

I like the dough better than the cookies. Theoretically.

Is this a young Alec Baldwin or just a look-alike?

I was wondering this too.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
I'm still not sure.
- Christopher Harley
It was Billy Baldwin, one of the Baldwin brothers.
- Andy Bakun
its a not even close look-alike, :( (and its none of them)
- chaz2b
I'm beginning to think it was clipped from Glengarry Glen Ross or something.
- Andy Bakun
Really does look like him
- Louis Simoneau
What's the point if it doesn't look like him, Chaz? I think it's him.

I think it's him. Also, a hilarious joke.

What are we looking at here? What's this from?
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Rah, it's from the sit-com "30 Rock."
- Ayşe E.
It's from this clip, Rah: http://ff.im/ctVIG

That's Alec Baldwin from the Hunt for Red October. I laughed my butt off at this. :-D That was another genius episode. Loved that Kenneth was a muppet. >.<
- Jason Huebel
That's it, Jason! The Hunt for Red October!
- Christopher Harley
Are you sure its The Hunt for for Red October??
- Roberto Bonini
I'm positive now. Check it out: http://ff.im/cw5OP
- Christopher Harley
And that was the genius of it. :-) 30 Rock is awesome.
- Jason Huebel
Oops. Never thought to look, Andrew. Thanks.
- Christopher Harley
I recognized it from the 1,587 times I've seen Hunt for Red October. Mom was a big Sean Connery fan.
- Lo
I suspected The Hunt for Red October, but couldn't find a clip that was even close to his head in this perspective..

This looks like Cirrus Spissatus with trailing ice virga. These are very high, very cold, clouds. The shapes you see look 2d but really the main cloud is circular and flat while the 'tails' are particles of ice drifting downward out of the cloud... almost like a lillipad made of snow. /cloudweathergeek

now, veo, that seems a bit fanciful to me. ;)

Emailing into FriendFeed is taking too long, so I did it manually. Sorry for the double-post when the email finally arrives. One before and two afters.

It's really the same haircut (or close to it) I always get. I just don't get my hair cut more than every five or six months, so it feels brand new and exciting every time since my hair grows so fast.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Looks about the same length as your avatar.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
John, yep. The avatar photo was taken in about February. I've had it cut once since then (in like July), and then today.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Cute, cute haircut, Jandy!

Very cute, Janders! I love the tee. It's Portland's own Viva Voce! And that's the Steel Bridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Christopher, it is indeed! Got it when they came through here a few months ago - really enjoyed their show.

I'm listening to Devotion from Rose City, right now. :)

I'm happy for all the attention that Kevin and Anita have gotten lately but I'm much happier for the addition of Corrina Repp to the band. She had been working hard in the PDX music scene for years. Hear more: http://www.lala.com/#artist...
- Christopher Harley
Corrina was awesome - she was jamming on like four different instruments (not all at the same time), singing backup, etc. I really enjoyed her. Thanks for the link, I didn't realize she had her own solo stuff, too.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
She's really nice, too. A few years back The Decemberists played this super secret benefit show, in a tiny little venue, for Beth Ditto and I called Corrina to get a poster I had hoped to have signed by the band. Because at the time she was handling the merchandising for The Dec, she drove down to Holman's Bar to exchange the poster. She was shocked that I recognized her but glowed with pride as a result.
