“Lily Sutton Sjogreen was born at 5:05pm on July 4th. She is 9 pounds 8 ounces and 21.5 inches long. She is of course the cutest little girl in the world. Pics to come!”
"A critique of Hancock is an essay in irrelevance. It's Independence Day Week, and six times since 1996, that's meant a Will Smith movie — a mega-giga-gigantic hit. Independence Day, Men in Black, Wild Wild West, Men in Black II, I, Robot: He shows up, people line up. Thomas Jefferson used to own this holiday, but now the former Fresh Prince does. So why should critics even bother to review a new Will Smith movie? You'll only go anyway." - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet
@Bret: to support and round out your Will Smith owns 4th of July theory :) - Dan Hsiao
slightly entertaining but disappointing.. it just feels weird and incomplete. Go see it just for the effects and will smith, don't expect too much! - Jing Lim
seems like some gr8 talent is aggregating itself around FF.. is it a culture thing or just b'coz its a kewl project to be working on ? What the true EQ data points for talent attraction at FF ? - Peter Dawson
Wish you a good career with FriendFeed. Any specific thing Gary will work on? - seman
Welcome aboard Gary! Happy FriendFeeding! :*) Hey i LOVE your Mail2FF app! totally cool concept! - Susan Beebe
Cool! (BTW, looks like you folks don't need to buy chairs any time soon) - Ken Sheppardson
Very cool. Nice to see FF growing. Hi Gary...<subscribe> - Mark Krynsky
Nubbles: a puppy who was born with only her two hind legs and nubs for front legs. A prosthesis was made for her, using model airplane wheels and shoulder joints, natch. - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet
WOW... a BABY Buchheit entered the world while I wasn't looking...amazing! great secret there Paul!! Congratulations on your new addition to your family!! :-) - Susan Beebe
Wow, UPS tracking has gotten much better. Where is the baby now? Make sure you're home during the delivery, though. Whenever I'm not, they just leave it at the front door. (Congrats, by the way ;) ) - Vince DeGeorge
What is this? Baby on Friendfeed week :) Between you and Louis...hehe. So does this make Friendfeed an aunt or an uncle? or maybe a cousin? Congrats Paul! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
@Erhan, actually I would like to see the true babies pic and then the a render pic from http://makemebabies.com/. It would be awsome to see how closely the two would match up :)- - Peter Dawson
"One day, he was walking by Lake Michigan, thinking about, in his words, “Buckminster Fuller—life or death,” when he found himself suspended several feet above the ground, surrounded by sparkling light. Time seemed to stand still, and a voice spoke to him. “You do not have the right to eliminate yourself,” it said. “You do not belong to you. You belong to Universe.” (In Fuller’s idiosyncratic English, “universe”—capitalized—is never preceded by the definite article.) It was at this point, according to Fuller, that he decided to embark on his “lifelong experiment.” The experiment’s aim was nothing less than determining “what, if anything,” an individual could do “on behalf of all humanity.” For this study, Fuller would serve both as the researcher and as the object of inquiry. (He referred to himself as Guinea Pig B, the “B” apparently being for Bucky.)" - bob via Bookmarklet
If you ever find yourself in Detroit, check out the Dymaxion house in the Henry Ford Museum. It is very cool. He was way ahead of his time. - Robert Felty
Our wedding invitations boasted a Buckminster Fuller Stamp. I think it added a little something. This man wasn't limited to good ideas and neither are we... - Clare Dibble
Buckminster Fuller's books are the closest thing I have to a bible. I don't say that lightly. - Sacca
Weird, doesn't seem to work in Fluid. Clicking the link quickly shows the loading circle on the right, then does nothing. Works fine in Safari 3.1, though. - Mark Trapp
Liked just so people see my name when they test it out. - DeWitt Clinton
I notice another change. "You" is the first name listed for all the things I've liked in the past. Even those where I haven't clicked on the expand Likes link. This wasn't previously the case. A bit of work on the Likes sort methodology? - Hutch Carpenter
Noticed that too, Hutch: do you think it's sorting based on order of likes now? Obviously, with "You" always being first and outside the order. - Mark Trapp
Mark - definitely putting "you" out front is a change. I still don't know the basis for ranking the other Likes. Maybe the guys will comment here. Or blog it. - Hutch Carpenter
I like this addition. Clean, intuitive, simple, perfect. - Tsega D
a long list of names isn't too useful; why dont you bold the ones that are my friends? - peter
peter: all your friends are listed first. - Bret Taylor
More recent likes come first, so as new friends "Like" things, you see them. - Bret Taylor
Peter, bolding is a great idea, not just here, but in general. It would be an easy way to find friends that you have not yet subscribed to. - Scott Beale
+1 for bolding names that I'm already subscribed to. - Mike Doeff
I tweaked the sort order to put "you" first, but apparently I forgot to tell Bret. - Jim Norris
Indeed Shey, http://ffapps.com/showlikes/ is no longer required. Seeing a list of people who liked a particular entry is a great way to explore and discover users who share similar interests. - Aviv
چه قدر سریع,ایده اش همین صبح مطرح شد,اسمایلی جیمبووووووووووووووووووو:))ه - shandiz
Expanding shows a lot of Likes up in this post! - Joe Dawson
Due to the girl's smaller size, under 2 KG, she'll be in the NICU, but the boy is already with mom, getting acquainted. Kristine is in recovery from the C-section, but I expect will do well. On with a new stage! - Louis Gray
Yeaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Funny, Milan spent the first three days of his life in that same NICU. They are really great there, so your daughter is in good hands. Names? - Robert Scoble
Lisa: you should open a day care for FriendFeed'ers. Heheh. - Robert Scoble
YAHOO! (the word not the company). Big congrats to Louis & wife. Now the fun REALLY begins. Thanks so much for sharing the experience on Friendfeed. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
That's awesome. Congrats to you and your wife! - John McCrea
Congratulations! We look forward to chatting with them online as soon as you can prop them in front of the computer. ;-) - Chris Baskind
Hmmm.... day care for friendfeeders = new biz model. I gotta got get some VC @now :) - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Congrats Louis! And hat's off to Kristine for the long labor followed by the c-section! Glad to hear things are good with the li'l ones. They'll be home before you know it. Fantastic! - Hutch Carpenter
I promise photos soon. Names too. I'm tired and so is Kristine. Thanks for being part of a very real community here on FriendFeed and indulging me. - Louis Gray
Lisa: our house is child proofed just for you. Or is it for the kids? I don't know, but either way, we're ready for the influx of FriendFeeding babies! :-) - Robert Scoble
Louis: if you think you're tired now, just wait a couple of weeks!!! Enjoy your sleep when you can get it. We'll be here when the kids wake you up again. ;-) - Robert Scoble
Congratulations Louis and family! All this twittering / FF'ing on the excitement of babies being born is reminding me of my own sons' births inspiring my proto-social-web baby pool project (admittedly it's Web 1.5 - not all shiny/ajaxy but hey, it debuted in 2004 which is like a lifetime ago in web-years). Anyway, thus ends my shameless plug: http://bebepool.com/ - Micah Wittman
Congrats, Louis. I was (and am) a twin, 2lbs, 6oz though. 4mos premature. - Andrew Feinberg
Louis - you are one of the anchors here on Friendfeed! It's been an honor sharing this experience with you, and your family. Wishing you, Kristine, and the twins the sweetest of dreams. Sleep well. You deserve it! - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Wholehearted congrats. Our first was in the NICU after being born premature and those folks do wonders. Dylan is now a tall, healthy, 48-inch-tall five year old towering above the rest... - Chris Reed
Luis fantastic duded. Congratulations to you and your wife!! - Alexander van Elsas
Congratulations Louis & Kristine, & welcome to your son & daughter! You're tired now? Wait 19 years...I have twin daughters that age; I can barely type ;-) ! Twins are special, all enjoy your new life together. - David Peacock via twhirl
Congratulations to you and Kristine on your new arrivals, really proud for you both! - Joe Dawson
Well done - the hard work starts now! Our youngest was in NICU for three weeks (he was 4 10 and had to be delivered seven weeks early as my wife had a life threatening condition), but the great thing about NICU baby's (well in the UK anyway) is that they get trained to sleep!!! - Andy Davies
Mazal Tov to the new parents! Congrats!!! - Mike Fruchter
Congrats Louis and glad to hear mother and twins are fine and enjoy your rest you'll need it! Only 12 weeks before our new one arrives and I'll be going through the same thing :) - Russ G
Congratulations Louis. Brilliant news! - Chris Nixon
Congrats! Hope everything goes really well! - Matt Cutts

Congratulations! All our best wishes to mum, babies and your good self! - John Samuelson
Congratulations! As a life-long end user of parenting, I know that you will require the best of luck. And here's a towel, just in case. The towel will be with you... always. - Cyvros/fyc
I think I teared up there a little bit. Congratulations Louis! I know how exhausted you guys are and hope you're getting some much deserved rest right now. You're all in my thoughts this weekend. - Carla Thompson
~~~B~A~B~I~E~S~~~A~R~E~~H~E~R~E~~!!~~Y~E~A~H!!!!! Congratulations Louis & Kristine!!! So happy for you guys and your family!! (Sorry I feel asleep after 1AM EST... long week) - Susan Beebe
Congratulations Grey family. "Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind." - Clare Dibble
Congrats, real good choice that I am sure you will enjoy - Fred Grott
@Louis yeah, I was tempted to mess with people and post pics of myself at FriendFeed and various other places, but decided to come clean. [Note: I still think FriendFeed would be an awesome gig too...] - Jeremy Zawodny
