Cela me semble être une erreur de langage majeure : il s'agit en fait d'un réseau social et d'un site "kit d'activiste à l'attention, large, des sympathisants"...mais on sent poindre une incompréhension totale des usages derrière cette référence à meetic... Une erreur très signifiante, donc. A noter : un nouveau site pour l'UMP - encore, également - à cette même échéance.

en fait, je viens de réagir, ce nom, c'est l'immobilisme en action, la puissance à l'arrêt, le conservatisme vivant. C'est vraiment un nom de droite, ne même pas s'arrêter à l'impossible, mais à des petits trucs déjà créés. Créer le possible. Autant dire se reposer sur ses acquis, utiliser le mail pour envoyer un lien à ses amis. Ne pas croire en de nouvelles choses. Ce nom, c'est un anti-FF. Et un anti Posterous ;)

J'essaie, mais un peu perdu. En fait sur Twitter je dialogue peu et rarement au-delà de deux messages (280 caractères tout au plus). Ici, il y a davantage de conversation. Trop, parfois, peut-être.

Salut Nicolas, une question déja posée chez Eric Mainville a propos de laquelle j'aimerai avoir ton avis: Friend Feed, c'est vrai, pourvu qu'il soit adopté par un grand nombre, a d'énormes avantages. Il y a juste un point de principe qui me pose problème, si j'ai bien tout compris: FF permet de suivre quelqu'un tout en se désabonnant à son flux. Une sorte de connexion vidée de son sens....

ah si! il y a des alertes, là je te réponds depuis mon mail ;-) va voir tes config, trie tes "followés", "masque" les entrées mal paramétrées chez tes aminches... and enjoy ;)

from email
je trouve cette fonction très bien ^^ je suis les 3 fondateurs de FF, mais je ne veux pas être floodé par leurs messages, par exemple.. what else ?
- Nicolas Voisin
from email
ah, je l'ignorais. bravo, l'opération est, semble t-il, en bonne voie de réussite. Pour le reste (désabonnement des flux), avoue que ça vide complètement de son sens la fonction "follow", et que ça entretient l'idée d'une inter-connexion là ou elle n'existe pas. Pourquoi suivre des internautes dont le flux ne t'intéresse pas? Quel est l'intérêt?
- zeyesnidzeno
ça veut dire que tu ne seras plus sur Twitter ?
- Simon Robic
bien sûr que non ! cela veut dire que je vais inciter mes followers à migrer aussi ici, que les conversations soient plus riches ^^ à ce jour, je vois un intérêt à émettre le message depuis Twitter quand il est à "visée large" et "de format court" et depuis Delicious quand il s'agit d'un article majeur que je veux taguer et archiver... voir depuis mon blog quand je souhaite développer mon point de vue, chez moi ;)
- Nicolas Voisin
from email
@zeyesnidzeno : "Pourquoi suivre des internautes dont le flux ne t'intéresse pas? Quel est l'intérêt?" Pour les même raisons qui font que je souhaiterais pouvoir associer une url à mon profil sans pour autant vous flooder avec son flux : lister sans systématiquement diffuser ;)
- Nicolas Voisin
ok, mais on parle de deux choses différentes. Associer une url à ton profil, sans pour autant "forcer" le flux de cette url sur ceux qui te suivent est une chose. Suivre quelqu'un en ayant la possibilité de ne jamais lire ce que lui même produit comme contenu, en est une autre. Et c'est bien cette seconde hypothèse qui me pose un petit problème de principe ;)
- zeyesnidzeno
zeyesnidzeno, ton point de vue sur "le nombre de followers gonflé par la possibilité de planquer ses abonnements dans des listes secondaires" n'est pas juste: il n'y a pas de courses au followers sur FF, puisque c'est la conversation qui compte. Si tu regardes http://www.ffholic.com/Users..., tu remarqueras que les personnes populaires n'ont pas forcément d'activité (Kevin Rose, Jason, Barack...).
- Jérôme Flipo
Il y a déjà eu pas mal de discussions à ce sujet. Surtout, il faut savoir que ce nombre n'est de toute façon pas fiable sur Twitter à cause des très nombreux spammeurs.
- Jérôme Flipo
Et puis ça me parait absurde d'avoir à lire tout ce qu'un de mes abonnements publie - c'est un peu comme si je devais lire tous les articles du Monde afin que tous ses journalistes puisse me compter dans leur audience. Le confort du lecteur est bien plus important que les statistiques. Et puis oublier ce chiffre des "followers" permet de se focaliser sur la qualité de l'information.
- Jérôme Flipo
Enfin, il y a les likes qui permetttent de mettre en valeur les meilleurs infos et discussions: tu les retrouves dans les "best of" (du jour, accessible ici http://friendfeed.com/summary..., ou de chaque liste, accessible en bas de leur page). Il faut savoir que ce classement se fait selon l'appréciation de ton réseau, et non des millions d'utilisateurs anonymes. Enfin, Friendfeed a une...

- Jérôme Flipo
@enikao pas de RT mais un fonction de partage un peu mal foutue, clairement ce que friendfeed met en exergue sont les conversations les plus actives, Twitter, lui, tente d'identifier les sujets les plus "chauds" tous users confondus. Du coup, le RT à moins de sens puisque ce n'est plus une news qu'on valorise mais une conversation, en y participant. Avec ff on change de point de vue je dirais
- palpitt
la simple existence du "meilleur du jour" est un formidable guide vers un usage vertueux (usage des likes, des commentaires, des recommandations, remontée des infos en haut de page, trie des flux afin de ne pas nuire à la pertinence de cette fonction.... )
- Nicolas Voisin
à Jerome. Tu as raison, chercher a définir des "intentions", n'a aucun sens. Elles peuvent être de différentes nature (ne pas froisser par exemple ou pour 1000 autres raisons qui m'échappent), et ça n'apporte pas grand chose au débat.
- zeyesnidzeno
à Jerome (suite) Ce qui me semble plus important, néanmoins, c'est de ne pas vider de son sens la fonction "follow", il ne s'agit pas seulement de hiérarchiser ses flux, mais aussi d'être en mesure d'en éliminer certains ("hide all twitter entry from x") Ce n'est peut être pas un hasard si cette fonctionnalité a été mise en avant très tôt par les prescripteurs de FF. Elle permet de...

"Il y a déjà eu pas mal de discussions à ce sujet. Surtout, il faut savoir que ce nombre n'est de toute façon pas fiable sur Twitter à cause des très nombreux spammeurs" Je parle bien de ceux que tu suis (et non pas de ceux qui te suivent) dans tes following, pas de spammeurs à priori.
- zeyesnidzeno
Je ne comprends zeyesnidzeno. Si le chiffre qui t'importes est celui de tes propres abonnements (et non abonnés), tu ne peux pas te tromper vu que les entrées cachés sont visible en un clique sur la page ouverte (lien en bas). Chaque fois que devrait apparaître une entrée que tu as masquée, volontairement ou non, elle sera visible en bas. Personnellement, je n'hésite pas à les lire. De plus, les entrées masquées apparaissent dans tous les cas sur tes "best of", histoire que tu ne loupes rien.
- Jérôme Flipo
J'aborde cette question avec une maitrise très limitée de FF et un mind-set un peu trop twitterien, ce qui m'amène a penser que la fonction "hide all twitter entry from x" (que j'assimile à un "Block" qui ne dit pas son nom) est plus restrictive qu'elle ne l'est vraiment. A l'usage, la nuance apparaitra surement plus clairement. Merci pour tes réponses.

To properly back up you need three copies. What is your workflow? What services work best for you? Discuss here:

To properly back up you need three copies. One on your local drive in case something gets corrupted. One on an external hard drive or other media in case your hard drive dies. One on an external hard drive or other media or storage service that you store someplace else in case your house or office burns down.

Dropbox. Three separate laptops and their Web service.
- Stephen Pierzchala
Forget the external hdd in some other location, and just back up to that webspace you have that you never use, or maybe cloud-based backup.
- Shivanand Velmurugan
For a local backup I run Time Machine on my iMac to an external drive. I also have a remote backup in the cloud using Backblaze. In addition I use DotMac and Mesh for sharing files among different computers.
- Jonathon
Here's mine: The original copy, one stored using Time Machine, one copy on a network storage device (ReadyNAS) using RAID and one copy at an off-site backup location. Works well and I've got my backup scripts running constantly. EDIT: I also use Dropbox for my documents.

Around midnight I received a weird 'file access error', so I spent the first 90 minutes of 2009 running fsck on my MacBook Pro, then went to bed. First task on waking up? Time Machine (whole system) plus Mozy (home directory). Sadly, using the network support to back up with Time Machine to a disk on my Airport Extreme failed horribly when I tried it, so I'm down to Mozy (over the Internet) and Time Machine to a directly-connected USB drive.
- James
Simple enough - internal drives backup nightly to external drives. The backup copy of my system drive is boot-able. I need to add the off-site factor to this setup. SuperDuper! is my backup software.
- Tom Harrison
I agree the dropbox solution works well for me except for photos and video. In that case I have main HD, backup HD an HD I try to keep off site. If all else fails I have high res jpegs on flickr.

computer, extra hard drive i keep in fire safe at home, WD Passport i keep with me most of the time. I use a self written program to run backups to all 3 places which i try to run it every few days to a week. cheaper then online services!

I'm using TimeMachine. I'm thinking about cloud solutions, but didn't find something cheap enough...
- Simon Robic
I have one of the unibody Aluminum Macbooks with a 120GB SSD drive onboard. I plug this into 2 x 500GB USB disks when I'm at work. One of these is a Time Machine backup. The other has manually driven Carbon Copy Cloner backups. Done when I remember. Probably once a month. I also have a small mini-NAS on my work network which Apple Backup does an incremental network backup to once a day. At home I've got another small mini-NAS which I do the same. Also do a weekly backup to Amazon S3 using JungleDisk.
- Alasdair Allan
Original, one copy on my Drobo via Time Machine and important (and not so huge stuff) on S3 via JungleDisk and on iDisk. Burning houses aren't as common over here as they are in the US. :)
- Holger Eilhard
Each of our pcs has an external hd, an internal backup drive, and we have a backup server. We back up to the internal b/u drive, sync it to the external, then to the b/u server. It may sound like overkill, but we manage a TON of mission-critical data. Websites get backed up daily to the backup server and to off-site FTP.
- Ron's Home And Hardware
I have a (1) a portable HD that I bring to work and store (2) there and also another (3) PC running Windows Server with a RAID5 setup. Tens of thousands of photos to lose would be a disaster.

RAID 1 NAS, periodically copied to external USB hard drive.
- Matt Mutz
Holger we have both fire and earthquakes so I decided no local storage for backups. It's all offsite now and I feel better for it.
- Todd Hoff
Mirrored NAS 500GB each, plus portable HDD... cloud coming soon! Evaluating Amazon vs. Mozy - thoughts??
- Susan Beebe
I agree that it feels good to be backed up. I use duplicate external HD for my photos, and SmugVault (Amazon S3) for offsite. Uploading photos to SmugVault is a pain - it is very slow - but it works. Of course, if you forget to pay Amazon, you lose your backup. Backing up current pix to SmugVault is no problem, but I have a 1.5TB backlog. I tried DVD offsite, but they don't last very long.
- Tom Kimmerer
Dell's DataSafe runs on my laptop, important files (like my photos, vidoes, and music) are manually archived to external drives on a reg basis, and Live Mesh keeps my documents synced between my computers and the cloud. Everything else is online.
- Sarah Perez
todd: if I'd live in earthquake and fire country like, for example, say California, I'd also be worried about onsite backup. But - thank gd - the worst thing that could happen here is a flood, and even that's a stretch...

The drive I'm on, an IDE external drive, or networked drive, and I'd like to have some decent remote back up, but I need Terra bytes worth of it and something that lets me upload the file structure as is. I'm using acronis true image echo to back up my installs. vista ult.
- Devlin Holliday
I use Second Copy 7 for automated backups. It automatically sends backup copies to two other systems on the LAN and one off-site backup via FTP on a remote server. It also makes periodic copies to a potable drive that is sent to an off-site location. Frequently changed documents are copied every two hours, others are copied every day or once a week depending on importance.
- Vishwas
Media is stored online. Important docs are on an external HD and back up Gmails.

1 weekly copy to external HD, Same again on another HD kept out of the house. Critical files changing more rapidly to Dropbox. Not perfect, but has worked for me.

Windows Home Server - two copies of each file. And i'm thnking of JungleDisk or somthing to Amazon S3.

Drobo for storage, I back up important personal docs to S3/Jungledisk nightly. $5/month dirt cheap! I use an external disk for my 750+gigs of media (iTunes, photos (100+ gigs!) and my own videos, etc) that I take off site. I run time machine on my Macbook Pro at the office, take the macbook home, time machine drive stays here for offsite.
- Lon Seidman
Time Machine to an external drive does well enough for me. Maybe I'm not paranoid enough, but I just don't see the value in an off-site backup for personal use.

2 x Backup drives, alternate backups to each drive daily, and adrive.com for offsite backup (nice 50gig free account :o) ) along with DVD backup on adhoc basis
- Carl Grint
Server to local using SyncBack SE, then Carbonite copies the local data off site.
- Michael Krigsman
Virtually everyone who chimed in on this thread is a techie. Think for a moment about the typical consumer. There are no easy solutions. Larger hard drives make it easier to accumulate tons of docs, photos, music, and videos. Hard drives last a few years (and what data is there on reliability of drives that haven't spun up for years?). DVD-R and CD-R are probably only good for a few years (and of course are tiny relative to the data sizes we're talking about). Solid state still has a high cost per gigabyte.
- LogEx
Online backup is useful, but will the company be around in 3 years? 5 years 10 years? What about the privacy of your documents? Break up your data into chunks and upload encrypted files? Also, consider how fragmented data is for many consumers... multiple computers, gaming consoles, mobile devices, etc.
- LogEx
Mozy is in the cloud, backed by EMC, pretty simple to use (even for non-techies) and pretty cheap. Great support when you chat or call in.
- Lee Herman
@Logical Extremes - your comments are definitely spot-on for Windows users. I think the Mac has a great built-in (and easy to use) solution. While Time Machine may not be configurable enough for us geeks, it's a real winner for trouble-free unattended backups. Very easy to swap disks too for taking them off site.
- Lon Seidman
@Logical I see that a lot of non-techies are using external HDDs. They're pretty easy, but yeah, nothing lasts forever.
- Sarah Perez
I've been using mozy.com for over a year now for pictures, personal files etc and it works well. I'm kind of a techie (a CTO @ ADP.COM), but, consider myself a consumer when it comes to my home stuff (has to be easy, wife doesn't have to think about it etc). I've recently started using Live Mesh to push files across all of my home devices as well which is great (esp. for one note,...

- Richard Anderson
Logical: That's what Carbonite does. You can easily backup 100GB to them. David Friend, their CEO, told me he got the idea when a family member lost photos when laptop was stolen from a car.
- Michael Krigsman
Every copy of data you put onto S3 is replicated (within and across data centers) so it's highly durable. It's where all my important data goes (through Jungledisk) and has been for a long time (disclaimer: I work there now, but was a user long before). Hard drives at home (a few TBs) are for things I look at every day and for sample libraries :)
- Deepak Singh
Right, I know there are tons of components to an overall strategy out there, but for the masses, they're lucky if they have an automatic on-site backup like Time Machine. My point is that computers aren't like a file drawer or an appliance. Good backup today requires a good strategy and a combination of tools, and most consumers aren't up to it.
- LogEx
The points raised by Logical Extremes are the same reasons I have not signed up with an online backup company. How do I know they'll still be here in 10 years, and how do I know I can trust them with my data?
- Tom Harrison
Quite true @Logical Extremes--We all learn the importance of back-ups the same way: we suffer a data loss. Somethings I have backed up to DVD or another computer or "in the cloud" some projects live on in the "oral tradition" where I simply describe how great this thing is to someone else--an if it's lost--it's legend lives on...(silly)...
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
External hard drive is 1. Mozy is 2. Mesh.com for extra important stuff is 3. Skydrive for paranoia
- Jeff (the メガマクダジ of FF)
The other issue that hasn't been mentioned is data obsolescence. Us techies can handle it if we plan for it, but as applications and data file formats get older, more and more files become unreadable for most folks. How many of you have old files that you don't have a reader app for anymore? I always encourage people to choose the simplest, most prevalent, and most open data format for a given application. ".txt" rules!
- LogEx
And I hope that people rank highly the availability of simple, open format, file export capabilities, when choosing which services will house their data (backup, social, etc.).
- LogEx
Re the trust issues with online backup, I think you have to go with a bigger player / name (like EMC owning mozy.com), that was my reasoning at least
- Richard Anderson
Microsoft Mesh to sync across all machines, backup (using Syncbackup) of one primary to network attached storage, and Jungledisk to Amazon S2 as well for off-site + periodic checkpoint copies to external disks. I am a fan of backup software that stores the backup as individual files.
- Ian D. Nock
Windows Vista Backup to 2 external drives at 2 locations + burning to DVDs. All long-term backups are regularly re-hashed and checked to make sure they can still be read. In addition, most of my backups contain a copy of an entire computer so all the programs are there.
- Zian Choy
SuperDuper! plus selective JungleDisk for Mac. unison to server at school for laptop. SmugMug for photos.
- Emil Sit
I'm beginning to think I should try online backup for offsite backups of my personal data. Has anyone used both BackBlaze and Mozy.com? How do they compare? Would anyone recommend another service at a similar price point? ($5/mo, unlimited)
- Mike English
Roberto: Also look at Mozy Home -- It is also 5$/month unlimited.
- Robert Miller
Different kind of workflow, also for @LogicalExtreme's non-techies: Keep an Outbox folder on every machine. Store pretty much every document you can there. Copy Outbox(es) to USB drive every week or so. Keep the USB drive in your car or on keychain. It's not a full-state backup, but 98% of computer state is not life-critical. Emergencies are rare and it takes less than a week to rebuild computer state.
- Christopher Galtenberg
(Can also have VitalNonPrivate and VitalPrivate folders in Outbox - zip and email both to yourself, the latter with encryption -- that's your 'cloud backup')
- Christopher Galtenberg
Just spent a few days sorting my backups out. Now have 1) machine image (Vista Ulitmate backup could use Acronis or Ghost) which will only be updated occassionally - on an external drive, 2) system image and incremental (updated monthly) on a protected local partition using Acronis 3) daily incremental backup of user data areas using Acronis on external drive and 4) daily copy of user data areas on an external server using Mozy - easy set up, good price, unlimited capacity. Can't be too careful!
- Mark Warren
+1 Mark -- Good practices.

I love my ReadyNas (http://www.readynas.com/) and have already failed over from a bad disk. Killer timing on this thread; getting ready to rsync to the cloud...
- Jeff Malek
Currently Local system RAID 1....soon adding backup to NAS (also RAID1) & using an Offline backup service like Dropbox or other AWS hosted service.
- Mark Krynsky
FWIW, http://journalspace.com/this_is... <-- this is a huge reason why RAID =/= backup. RAID = availability, Backup = recoverability.

Carbonite. I just lost all data on my laptop a week ago. Restored my mission critical files immediately (after reinstalling Windows), then restored everything else over the next few days. There is no need to personally maintain three copies when you're using an online system with it's own redundancy such as Carbonite.
- John Morley
Web-based backup -- Carbonite, Mozy or Jungledisk with Amazon S3 work nicely. I've shared John Morley's experience.
- Sean McBride
I'm seeing Carbonite, Mozy and Jungledisk regularly mentioned... anyone care to chime in on why one versus the other?
- Sean Katona
Sean Katona: I prefer Jungledisk with Amazon S3 to Carbonite and Mozy, because of price, user interface and reliability. You might want to try all three to judge for yourself.
- Sean McBride
I used Jungledisk and switched to Carbonite because it backs up everything automatically as it changes and I don't have to worry about it at all.
- Todd Hoff
I haven't tried Jungledisk or Mozy. Carbonite is great for me because it's seamless... you just don't ever have to worry about it. If it's not backing up properly it will tell you. If you have any files over 4gig that you want backed up though, you do have to manually tell Carbonite to keep those backed up or else they'll be skipped.
- John Morley
I back up my important files on a back-up server then I back-up the back-up twice on tapes: One copy in my office, the other in my wife's office.
- Charles Nadeau
I've found backing up to be far less important than it used to be - almost everything I have is in the cloud. Code is in version control hosted offsite and backed up, documents are in google docs, email's in gmail, photos are in flickr, not much else left to back up.
- Parand
I've implemented a tiered system with numerous local snapshots (Time Machine, in my case), and automatic remote sync (Jungledisk). Details and overall considerations for any backup strategy here: http://tr.im/2v7b

IDrive is one of the better solutions. It is faster for backups and restores compared to other services, and easy to use. But nothing beats a local drive based backup. Online Backup services are simply too slow.

Someone needs to come up with software that lets you backup to a USB drive stored at your friend's house. You backup to the drive, take it to his house and plug it in, then do incrementals over the web. Encrypt everything. You do the same for him.

I just back up things to an external hard drive. And I refuse to back up to the cloud as I can't trust something that isn't under my control.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I use Acronis to back up an image to my FreeBSD box with ZFS. (Sorry Scoble, they're western digital drives :). Then, I also use rsync.net (lots of space for cheap), and - you guessed it - rsync the important files (documents, pictures, etc) to the cloud.
- David Andrzejewski
I've been using Mozy and have recently been trying Syncplicity [http://www.syncplicity.com]. I don't know if I can justify the $10/mo for 50GB, though. The benefit to Syncplicity for me is that it's near real-time sync with unlimited computers.

Why? I thought you were supporting Obama.

Are you implying that a McCain win will ground the airline system? THREAT LEVELS: HIGH!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
which country?
- Zee.
And if he doesn't, will you leave as well? :-)
- Phil Windley
Very confused Scoble? Leaving because you feel confident, worried, unsafe?
- ryangraves
And if he doesn't you're cancelling a trip in frustration? =)
- Brandon Paddock
the same!! Why???
- obolonskyi
I think you can start looking for a ticket from now. But, I'm not there, so I may not be right, who could say?
- Markingegno - Donato
very funny. already ticketed I assume.
- Josh Haley
We are leaving for China in the morning.
- Robert Scoble
And if he doesn't win you're gonna cancel your trip?!?
- Andy Sternberg
But you'll be back in a day or two. :-)

- Caleb Cherry
OK. You're going on an overseas trip anyway, and you're predicting the result
- Ian May
he's messing about - he's assuming Obama will win and is leaving the country because he has to anyway
- Zee.
we are leaving if McCain wins too. I am voting for Obama. Just having some fun with everyone!
- Robert Scoble
a lot of people said that about Sarkozy's election last year in France... And there're still here ;)
- Simon Robic
He's of course going to sit down at a table with Chinese communists. So it begins (j/k :)

- Aisha Boyd
It means Robert already has travel plans. ;-)
- Chris Baskind
Guess it's time for the Candians to pull out the couch for Scoble!! I think you should give it a chance before fleeing the country the day after election.
- Les Zaldor
the real question is: if McCain wins, will you be allowed to get back to the US again? :)
- dario
Ok, this was actually kinda clever. I like. :)
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
If McCain wins, I'm leaving the country! In the MORNING, TOO!!! :-) Go McCain! Down with Rev Wright's puppet
- Rocky Barbanica
Hey Rocky, Happy Rev Wright Puppet Day
- Christopher Galtenberg
@Rocky, I didn't realize you're a conservative. That must be fun working with Scoble.
- Trevor Carpenter
I think you made that post to get people to come to see what you meant, great job!
- Avil Beckford
Say hi to shel.
- Oldengrey (Jay)
On the other hand, if Obama wins we can then blame him for all of our problems, since he believes the government should control us.
- Paul Dizmang
deep, Paul. exactly what I heard him say... uh, never
- Christopher Galtenberg
Dork! Careful, they might through you in a state run start up over there ;)

sailing to international waters then turning right around, nice.

Leaving not a problem...try getting back in :)
- John Nogrady
funny, I'm planning on leaving if Obama loses!
- Luis Valdes
is this how scoble creates traffic... makes an arbitrary statement without cause or reason... then he reads all of these comments and feels better about his day? I really don't get it.
- Caleb Cherry
really? I srsly thought you were pro-Obama, technology, pro-Net Neutrality, and civil rights. In any case, I respect your choice, just honor it.
- Joe Manna
@Caleb, it's a soc-web experiment demonstrating how people don't bother to read comments
- Christopher Galtenberg
Who cares?
- Karin
You could take a slow boat to China.

Just in case you were serious :) I sympathize...this election is a loser no matter who wins.
- Chris Rossini
It is funny how many thought this was an anti-Obama post. It is not. Also Rocky bet me $100 that McCain will win. I will collect that in the morning too. I love taking money from Republicans! :-)
- Robert Scoble
enjoy your time in China!
- Nancy Babyak
That's because you're traveling to China in the morning
- Jesse Stay
what you're not saying is if you'll come back from China if McCain wins!
- Jorge Escobar
Interesting to see who follows you closely enough to know about the China trip and who doesn't. Clever post Robert! :) Enjoy the trip... looking forward to hearing about it.
- Lucretia Pruitt
If McCain wins, were closing the border here in Canada.
- Gene Moreau
At least getting back into the country will be a breeze! Obama will remove all border restrictions! :)
