I just saw your pregnancy whine post and I think all of downtown Sac heard me say, "Wait, she's pregnant?" (scroll back scroll back scroll back, find announcement) Wow! Congrats to you and Scott.

"Unrelenting internet human Robert Scoble recently declared that, as one of Google's Glass "Explorers," he would never take the headset off, except to let strangers try it. Today he posted this picture. "You thought I was kidding," he wrote alongside it."

"Scoble is an indiscriminate evangelist; he embraces virtually any new technology with inhuman enthusiasm. This makes him useful as a sort of reductio ad absurdum product processor: he takes a new service or thing and gives himself to it, both testing it and inadvertently demonstrating the logical conclusion of its creators' visions."

"This photo of a drenched middle-aged man recording himself as he screams into his shower mirror,* then, may the purest expression of the Google Glass concept yet (and perhaps of Scoble, too)."

After learning my flight was detained 4 hours, I heard the announcement: If anyone in the vicinity of gate 4-A understands any Arabic, Please come to the gate immediately. Well—one pauses these days. Gate 4-A was my own gate. I went there. An older woman in full traditional Palestinian dress, Just like my grandma wore, was crumpled to the floor,... - http://snollygoster.tumblr.com/post...
Totally reminds me of a magical night in Manhattan I had once. Expect replace the cookies with adult beverages and the flight crew with homeless folks.

This morning we changed the format of FriendFeed subscription email messages to include more information about people who subscribe to you. Please let us know if you see any problems, and keep an eye out for more email improvements in the future.
I'm all for improving the format of notifications, but wonder (aloud) if it is such a smart move to include the Approve/Reject link right at the top (unless it only appears in private feeds to which someone has requested access). Right now we have the option of blocking/ rejecting a subscriber at any time but presumably not at the very outset. This may lead to more of a walled gardens' mentality, already very prevalent at FF.
- ianf ⌘
ianf: approve/reject is only for private feeds. Public feeds just have a link to subscribe back :)
- Benjamin Golub
I noticed this one! Such informations about people who subscribe to me on FriendFeed are useful, and makes it easy to quickly get in the conversation. Thanks for the good job!
- Thierry R. Andriamirado
Gmail automatically showed me the images in a subscription email, even though I never told it to (you know how gmail has the 'display images below' option). further, it doesn't give me the option to hide the images. not that I'd want to, but how are you bypassing gmail's security feature to hide the images?
- chrisofspades
Chris, we don't do anything special. I'm not sure how gmail decides what images to show, you'd have to contact them or check the gmail help.
- Casey Muller
Casey, you sure FriendFeed's founders didn't use some of their "we created Gmail" mojo? ;)
- chrisofspades
Chris, the "show images" only applies to external images hosted on other sites. Gmail doesn't show those by default because doing so would allow people to "bug" email. We include the images with the email so that they can be displayed immediately.
- Paul Buchheit
Indeed, I do. I was so jealous when someone posted from the west coast about eating crepes filled with Nutella, whipped cream and strawberries, but there was nowhere I could go for that. I was in Cincinnati yesterday and took advantage of Jungle Jim's proximity to pick up some things I can't find in town, and when I saw crepes (which I will NOT make myself), I nabbed 'em! Now I need the other three ingredients.

Nope. Neither the chocolate nor the hazelnut flavor seems to pop out to me, it just tastes sweet. I'd rather have the fresh ground chocolate peanut butter from Whole Foods.

Hi :) I'll write recipes with nutella a.s.a.p :P
- SanalMutfak (M)
No, it's disgusting. The worst such hazelnut cream produced, sticky, oversweet and at the same time flavorless. There are bunches of much better similar creams around, not necessarly hugely more costly: Novi cream is hugely better and still in the same price range!
- Alice Twain
Alice come on... a little spoon of Nutella could make you less ... :P
- Eta e basta
use translate button keiko :) (I know It doesn't perfect)
- SanalMutfak (M)
@Eta, nutella is disgusting. not hazelnut creams. The point is that nutella has next to no hazelnut in, that's part of what makes it so bad. Again, try some better hazelnut creams, stuff that does not feel like sugary glue in your mouth but rather is silky with a distinct taste of toasted hazelnut. You will taste the difference.

In Italian, "Slurp" is an onomatopoeia, i.e. this word means that someone is licking him/her own lips while thinking about the goodness of a food.

Thanks. But let me ask you a question. Would you rather have him not look at all, and be fake, or be himself and look? BTW, it's uncertain what caught their eye. This is even more cropped than mine http://friendfeed.com/mikerob... The guy on the right is almost laughing. So, I'm wondering if there is something amusing about this situation that we cannot see. I don't care either way, He's a man, and there's nothing wrong with looking. Is there?
- Michael Fidler
I'd rather him be honest. he isn't. it was a bunch of different shots. different moments. very obvious what is going on. there were people there as well. the combined photos tell a story where if Obama isn't in on the joke he isn't turning to Sarkozy and telling him this is unacceptable in public
- NoahDavidSimon
at the first juncture you turn to Sarkozy and tell him to knock it off. but notice he didn't. there was a little frat party going on. two different women. lame that you are saying this wasn't the truth. you show your bias.
- NoahDavidSimon
part of the reason that white people voted for Obama is that they feel bad for black people. I think black folks are capable human beings... that are more then capable of being great enough for the presidency. sadly I don't think the left agrees and voted in a buffoon. in an unrelated note: strangely enough a website in Africa had a second page claiming that Obama was born in africa today. it was put down when the GOP circulated it around
- NoahDavidSimon
Women who complain this much are usually just plain jealous.
- Kevin J Hatton
I think that is the point of the song Kevin. the point of the photo is a lot of the asshats on friendfeed were stupid enough to vote for this man. this same perv who is threatening to put political dissidents in camps
- NoahDavidSimon
And when they showed it from a different angle, it was shown he was looking at something else. Why do you pretend that isn't so?
- MiniMage
because if you can see the rest of the images then you realize that this happened more then once http://ff.im/565Ct
- NoahDavidSimon
The other photos of this incident showed he wasn't looking at her bum, but if you want to spin it, I can't stop you. As to the other photo, if he looks at a grown woman's parts when they're jutting out at him unnaturally, I couldn't care less. You'd look, too. So would I, and I don't like women's butts.
- MiniMage
it was Sarkozy's girl's bum. he did it over and over again at the event. there can be no spin. it was a news story.... the spin in lame stream media was that Obama was punked... yeah but how many times? don't deny it. it is 16 years old ass. he should have a cell shared with Lawrence Taylor. they would make great pair.
- NoahDavidSimon
show me the 16 year old girl that Obama stares at! make Lawrence Taylor jealous.

from twhirl
Really, I don't think that matters so much. What's important for our health is to intentionally indulge in completely frivolous "waste of time" activities on a regular basis. Playing games, feeding ducks in the park, blowing bubbles, coloring with crayons. If it feeds your spirit, do it, no matter who says it's a waste of time!
- Ordinarybug Heather
Everything is a waste of time, then you get put in the recycle bin. Use your time the way you want to.

No more a waste of time then being on FriendFeed. I can gain social interaction using both and at the same time be happy that I took something away from each. (No matter how trivial, it's still a small sense of accomplishment and fun.)

It has been argued that humans are "homo ludens" more than they are sapient. That said, I personally find that they can easily become a time tax, and tend to avoid them, preferring to spend that time on more solidly creative activity.

You totally have this. Do not do any studying today except maybe s light flip through the books. Not to be pessimistic but if you have it in your brain now, cramming it in probably won't help. Relax. Take your time and the answers (or best guess) will come to you. I'll go ahead and say congrats now. :)

I'm going to be writing about smart phones this month for REDACTED website. I need a new Android and Windows Phone to do some testing, but I don't have Scoble money. Hrmm. Samsung is not getting back to me.
I don't know that you can and if you did, I don't think you'll get the full experience because of the limited hardware.
- Anika
I'm trying out the features of the OS more than the hardware itself, but I don't want to give myself phone rage either.
- Eric - seven eleven
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I can put Ice Cream Sandwich on my phone, but know that it will be limited. It has features that's coded into my phone. Adrian's running it on the TouchPad and has mentioned what he can't do with it since it's not made for the TouchPad. Are there even phones with that on it anyway. I thought most were still coming new with Gingerbread and a few with Honeycomb.

At any rate, he'd be a better person to talk to about that, since he's the ROM modder dude. I'll shut up now. =)

THE bottom line: Every four years, a bunch of rich guys take huge amounts of money from those less well off, so they can get this job for four years, where, for the most part, they just do fuck all of any real use. Nothing really changes for the vast majority of the population, whatever moron is in the big house.
- Ian May
I semi-agree with you, however I do believe there are candidates that can do a worse job than others.
- David Cook
I'll concede that. However, the system in place, while stopping a President becoming a dictator, can also stop a President from being able to make changes that he sees fit. We have this situation right now, where Obama cannot make the changes he would like to see happen, due to GOP opposition. Nonetheless, he gets the blame for the economic situation not improving, but he's blocked from making any change. I do wonder, if the opposition do this on purpose.
