White Chili: It's done & it's delish
Kamilah Gill, Robert DeBord, anna sauce and 23 other people liked this
Here is my completed chili. It's so incredibly good I don't want to share it with the family. I used sour cream and cream of mushroom soup to thicken it, but that's not necessary. 5 different peppers are in this, and it's topped with pepperjack, avocado, cilantro and onion. I may grate some radish over my second bowl.
- Admiral Anika
This looks very nice. It's a good job my wife is roasting pork and it's nearly done so I can eat dinner soon.
- Ian May
I'm sooooooo stuffed right now from the two bowls I had. One key for me is that I saute my onions & garlic in cinnamon/salt/pepper. That helps give it a dynamic flavor.
- Admiral Anika
can i get ur recipe? :)
- Egyirba
from twhirl
Egyirba, it's close to this one: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe.... Changes: I use a tablespoon of cinnamon when I saute. I use a whole bulb of garlic, I use pasilla, serrano, habenero and jalepeno peppers. The first 3 are fire-roasted then diced. You can use vegetable broth if you'd like. From the moment I started chopping until this was done was a little under an hour.
- Admiral Anika
thank you, Anika!
- Egyirba

wow, cinammon! (and a whole bulb of garlic--yum!) don't know pasilla

This is killing me. I might make this after we get back to town.
- ha3rvey (Ho)^3
Did some digging and found that pasilla peppers are also known as poblano chiles. If you eat Mexican or Central American foods, it's the pepper that's usually stuffed with stuff. If you eat Middle Eastern foods, it's the pepper that's usually roasted, that's served with the roasted tomato.
- Admiral Anika
Okay, one other change is i used 1 tablespoon of sour cream and a can of cream of mushroom soup to thicken it. You can also puree one can of the beans. I also used 1 lb. of ground turkey because I didn't feel like cooking a chicken. Looking at that recipe, I also used one less can of beans and broth.

Point blank. You are a moron if you ride without a helmet. Sorry, but that's true and you're just going to play into Darwinian theory should you continue to ride without one. Any 'real' cyclist (e.g - you've been hit by a car - and yes, I have been) will tell you this without reservation. Helmets work without a doubt.

This isn't as extreme as this but when I fell off my bike onto a sidewalk and broke my arm, I thought I was fine for a while.

Instead of having to go to the 50 or so social networks I'm a member of, I want those networks to come to me. I want a single page (my blog or home page) I can host myself, working in both directions. Yes, I can pull things, using rss feeds or widgets, and I can push things, using services such as ping.fm, but I want all that to happen "at home". I want things people post elsewhere, especially when they specifically address me, to automagically appear there, and when I post something there, I want it to appear automagically on the appropriate networks / services.

I also want things to be kept together (discussions) in one way or another. And perhaps grouped together (discussions about the same topic on different networks) as well.

This iPhone spying crap is unbelievable: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive... - There was an uproar when Intel added serial numbers to the Pentium (there's still BIOS options to this day to disable them). Makes me wonder if this is why Reddit's iPhone app has been prompting me for my location...
Andy Bakun, Steve Spalding and Mark Trapp liked this
The excuse Pinch Media gives is lame: making iPhone applications is hard, and developers need all the help they can get. Yeah, okay. The one good thing is that with the exception of the UUID, the user must explicitly consent to give up the information, either by a dialog on iPhone, or by linking directly to Facebook. With the UUID, I think it's a little bit different than the Intel case...

- Mark Trapp
As an aside, I'm really scared to give any developer access to my Facebook account: there's way too much of a temptation for abuse. It's one thing to take demographic information from a person, but telling an application everything about you by giving them access to your Facebook profile is just something else entirely.
- Mark Trapp
Mark, I believe that the UUID is perfectly analogous to the Pentium serial number case. It's a persistent identifier that can't be cleared like a cache or a cookie. While you can't be tracked personally with it, all it takes is a single Facebook to UUID link and your personal information is now potentially available to every application.
- Matt Mastracci
As an aside, I did actually grant an iPhone application access to my Facebook account. After seeing this, it's the first and last time I'll ever do that.
- Matt Mastracci
You're right: a user giving up that information explicitly will do it. I'm thinking of getting that information without explicit user approval: in the Intel case, the UUID could be attached to an IP address as soon as the user connects to the internet. In the iPhone case, the same thing could happen, but there are are only two companies to be the weakest link in the process and provide...

- Mark Trapp
Yeah, I hadn't really thought about that, but you are right, Mark. AFAIK, an application has full access to your contacts list. The whole concept of a UUID bothers me at a fundamental level because it enables a whole slew of more reliable, far more persistent tracking. I'm kind of numb to the day-to-day tracking we have on the web today because it's notoriously unreliable.

I've only fooled around with it on test files, but am considering using it for a large project. Anybody have any major gotchas to report? Or does it work well?

I really like it. I use it almost exclusively for word processing, although I haven't used it for a large project yet. Detailed formatting can be a bit wonky and largish files can be slow to load. The sharing and collaborative features also work very well.
- John Dupuis
Thanks, John. How large can the files get before you start to notice the speed?

Paulo - Thanks for the suggestion. I'll hold off a bit, and try it out online first, to see what I think, and then install Gears if it works well. I must admit I'd be happier having local control over my data.
- Michael Nielsen
I am using for grant writing and people are liking it. Of course it lacks a lot of features but it can be a good start for collaborative work.
- Paulo Nuin
Michael, I've only seen it be slow on large spreadsheets -- maybe several hundred rows. As for lack of feature, yeah, it's pretty minimalistic that way. However, they did just add a bare-bones footnote feature which I haven't had a chance to play with yet.
- John Dupuis
Very nice to get an initial draft of a multi-person paper or grant going - in the end it needs to go out to Word to get formating etc correct. If only they could include bib mgmt via Google
- Rajarshi Guha
On the feature issue: I'm happy enough (for now) with a pretty minimal feature set. My testing shows it's got most of what I need, although the lack of bibliography management will be a bit of a pain. I'll give it a real go.
- Michael Nielsen
Thankyou, everyone, for the feedback. I put this up 28 minutes (!) ago, figuring I'd go to bed, and with luck a few people would comment by morning. Little did I know :-) So thankyou all - I'm going to head off to bed in a few minutes, but if anyone has more comments, I'll read and reply in the morning. Cheers!
- Michael Nielsen
Agree with Rajarshi. It works really well for collaborative drafts. As you approach the final version, you need to go to a local copy to clean it up and format. The problem I have is that my peers (at work) can't get past the unfamiliarity, need to sign up, login, learn something new etc. etc. to see the collaborative benefits.
- Neil Saunders
Like said above, very useful to collaborate with, my wife and I organized our wedding basically using google docs. Only downside is when you need proper formatting for printing. If you are happy with rough formatting, that's fine, but precision printing (like address labels) is very hard, much better to export to word or excel.
- Nick Boucart
agree with what everyone else has said. Just to add it seems to scale well to large numbers of authors in a way that wikis do not - at least with simultaneous editing. In my experience tech phobic people prefer it to wikis but formatting has to be done elsewhere. Bibliography is a major weakness

I've only used the forms part to develop a survey. The forms feature is extremely limited. No edit after submission, no complex field types, no skinning, editing the form rearranges fields etc. But it does have nice features for doing stuff with the data once collected, so it's a tradeoff.
- Todd Hoff
I have been using it to draft papers, and bibliography works fine if you use BibTeX and have different documents for the .tex and the .bib files. Problem for some collaborators (and for chasing bugs introduced by them): TeX syntax highlighting is not available, and compiling has to be done offline.
- Daniel Mietchen
I have a comment on the presentation module -- I first used it about a year ago for a fairly important presentation that I was collaborating on with someone from the other side of the continent. The collaborative parts worked very well, but the presentation module itself was barely adequate for even a simple presentation. They have improved it quite a bit since then including being able to export to PowerPoint format.
- John Dupuis
I have used to collaborate on draft documents. It works much better than emailing around a copy of a document to different authors. The problem is usually more getting other people to use it. The spreadsheets are not useful enough for what I need. The presentations app is nice but so far I use it mostly to hold backup copies of presentations in case all else fails.
- Pedro Beltrao
John - Does the presentation module support basic animations? I'd be pretty tempted to try a collaborative presentation, which I've never done before.

I have used Google Docs and Google Spreadsheets for a large collaboration on a book, with five authors. The book was done in LaTeX with BibTeX, so compiling the files had to be done on a local machine. However, the ease of simultaneous editing by many people was very useful. Also very useful for us was the addition of the "upload-and-share--PDF" feature to Google Docs, which happened near the end of our project. I used this feature to upload the compiled document to share with all coauthors.
- Dimitrios Diamantaras
Google Docs is a better notepad than Yahoo Notepad, plus is helpful in data spreadsheets that go everywhere.
- Mike Reynolds
Dimitrios - it's very helpful to know it can be used for a very large project like that.
- Michael Nielsen
More: we also used Google Spreadsheets to do a collaborative proofreading exercise, for which Spreadsheets was fine. I can suggest zoho.com as an alternative, with even more features, such as a graphical front-end for equations, which then runs LaTeX on the server that makes a beautiful equation graphic. It is a graphic, though, and its alignment with text presents problems. I have not checked out bib management on Google Docs or Zoho, as I don't need it.
- Dimitrios Diamantaras
They did just implement something called "incremental reveal" but AFAIK nothing beyond that.
- John Dupuis
Yet one more note: we also used a wiki in the early stages of the project, and kept using it for activity updates. However, had we started on Google Docs from the beginning, there would have been little reason to use a wiki.
- Dimitrios Diamantaras
Oh yes, if you post a PDF file with more than 100 pages, Google Docs will only display the first 100. However, if you share it, those you share it with will be able to download the whole file.
- Dimitrios Diamantaras
Very irritating. I use it mainly because I have no better option. Printing is a poorly-integrated joke, I can't get the stupid thing to write in one font, and Google Gears never quite works right with it.

I see Google Docs as a gateway drug to wikis. I felt the word processor starting to slow down around 10k words. My main beef with it is that while my kids use it routinely, several of my colleagues apparently can't figure it out. But I've used it successfully with several clueful collaborators. The Table of Contents feature rulez.
- Seb Paquet
For small informal text docs it seems to work reasonably well. There's a limit on the length / size of individual documents, which can be a pain if you're writing something big. 'help' tells you the details. Also, if you export to WORD you get a bunch of embedded styles that are tricky to get rid of. Collaborative editing of spreadsheets whilst on the phone trying to agree budget details for proposals works effectively.
- hardisty
I rather like the non-fancy look of simple programs like this. If I can only write in arial with minimal formatting, I tend to focus on what I'm saying more than if I have formatted the text to look fancy. Once colleagues and I are happy with the words, then export to Word and prettify. Used it to write the main text of several grant apps in recent months, including Bjoern's. Insertion of pictures is the only annoying thing that came up - has to be of specific formats and small-ish.
- Matthew Todd
I've found it easier to move the docs to Word by exporting to RTF. Etherpad.com has to be mentioned in this thread; it's useful for people who want up-to-the-second sync between editors.
- Seb Paquet
I use GDocs quite a bit. As Pedro said it's great to do collaborative work but usually that hard part is getting the collaborators on board with the idea. The spreadsheets are OK, but anything a little more complex and it becomes a bit of an ordeal to work with. Specially with very large and complex spreadsheets that pan over multiple sheets. Although I love the graphs :-)
- Ricardo Vidal
Spreadsheet features are useful when pulling XML or CSV data from other websites, and for making the results easily accessible online in multiple formats. Performance suffers relative to standalone programs, although FF 3.5 and Chrome help a bit.

ABC's creepy 'V' remake - http://www.thrfeed.com/2009...
RAPatton, Steve Spalding and ·[▪_▪]· liked this
"ABC entertainment president Steve McPherson says his network's remake of the 1980s miniseries "V" could consist of four seasons, planned in advance, each with 13-22 episodes each. The show is planned for midseason. Below are two first-look previews and based on these, my hopes for the show are up. We've seen alien invasion stories so many times before, the challenge is to bring something new. The second video in particular is a nicely done, tense scene, with Scott Wolf (and hey, he still looks like him) playing a journalist landing an interview with the alien leader (played by Brazilian actress Morena Baccarin). Every reporter's dream/nightmare."

I might be one of the few, but I loved the original V series. And this remake has a number of (I think) good actors in it.

perhaps a "star" system like, dare i say, twitter? or something that can keep more accurate track of articles we might want to go back and check at some point that doesn't rely on likes or comments. i used to have trouble with the search system, but it seems the kinks have mostly been ironed out. just enter one word into the search bar and you're set
- Cee Bee
Cee Bee, that's one thing I really, really want. I would love to bookmark things to read later. I'm not always sure if I want to like or reshare until I get a chance to read. For now, I've been clipping to Evernote.

Fort Funston?

I went to a small, relatively secluded beach in Half Moon Bay where you have to climb down a steep hill to get near the water. Parts of it were practically vertical. I slid down most of the way and skinned my knees. But the beach was awesome so it was worth it : )
- Jess Lee
So wait, was the rolling something you wanted to do?
- Andrew C
Fort Funston has a hill of sand that's fun to roll down sideways on.
- Cristo
Jess, I love that place, I believe you it was worth it. (Alternate plan: don't fall down)

Dear Followers: FF has made it so I have to jump through about 4 hoops to subscribe to you when you subscribe to me. I'm lazy, not to mention I have an unnatural fear of hoops. If you've subscribed to me in the past 2 weeks or so and I've not reciprocated, call me out on this thread so I can subscribe the easy way. KTHXBAI!

Steve: FriendFeed never closes when you're following a large number of users its a 24/7 river on information and conversation
- Nicholas James
Nicholas: I've always had it on. But I now I have to open each email, copy the profile link, go back to FFox where I'm logged into FF and open a new tab for the profile, and click 'subscribe' on each one. 10x per day... Before, I'd just go once a week to the 'Subscribers' page, do a quick text search, and subscribe en masse to my new subscribers. Took 2 minutes a week, easy peasy. Not any more =(

Yeah that feature was great...I hope it comes back

Chris: I use FF in FFox but the Gmail account that gets FF notifications is open in IE. So, I get an email notice, I have to copy the URL from the email in IE, come to FFox and paste it in. And it's open in IE because I have a different Gmail account open in FFox.

Tina, you could create a filter to fwd the subscription emails from one account to the other, or try one of these solutions for managing multiple gmail accounts in firefox: http://www.computer-realm.net/managin...

That's certainly true, Chris; there are work around solutions. It seems silly to me though to have to go outside of the FF system in order to manage my FF subscriptions: I don't have to do that in FB or Twitter.
