"If you're lucky enough to have received an invitation, Google Voice is a fantastic way to manage your phone life. The service offers the ability to route any incoming call to any phone or straight to voicemail, if you prefer, and you can create rules based on the caller. Other standout features include SMS, voicemail via e-mail, call recording, call screening and the ability to switch phones mid-call."

Sitting in my hotel room waiting to get ready. Watching What Not To Wear and trying to relax...There's no way I'm going to stay unemotional today. Cassie's already cried twice.
"Computer technicians have found 22 million missing White House e-mails from the administration of President George W. Bush and the Obama administration is searching for dozens more days' worth of potentially lost e-mail from the Bush years, according to two groups that filed suit over the failure by the Bush White House to install an electronic record keeping system."

How do you lose, and then find, 22 MILLION emails? I can see if they were all deleted, but now that they've "found" them again, where did they go?
- Kenton
well, they had all the tricks I guess.

Hopefully, somewhere out there Karl Rove, John Yoo, David Addington, Alberto Gonzalez, as well as their bosses have all broken out into cold sweats.

- Jesse Stay
Hm. Now Jesse, can you please go code those SocialToo improvements I requested?
- Louis Gray
jesse - dont you have some people to auto-block ?
- Allen Stern
im gonna get "cc.cc" for my shortener
- Allen Stern
Allen, Louis is SocialToo-proof. I can't auto-block him - I keep trying.
- Jesse Stay
for the record, I was not talking about Louis, Jesse you should know that Louis is unblockable and/or unbannable. This is part of the geneva conventions.
- Allen Stern
I know some people that have blocked Louis :-)
- Jesse Stay
surely no-one would block the king of social media pop (KOSMP).

my friend molly just gave me a king size quilt that she made over a few months. She and I have been very close for the last 5 years or so, and I cried when I saw it. It was SO much work.. and I always coveted the quilts she made for others... it was truly epic.
- Jenna Bilotta
In terms of material goods for the gift itself and not solely the thought behind it...quite possibly my DLSR camera. It has opened up a new world to me. I've received lovely extravagant gifts from my fiance (like a computer) which was very useful, but it was and improvement over what was already part of my life. This was a surprise gift that showed that someone trusted my creativity and it's something that has allowed me to document my life where I was limited before.

oh yeah. I got kidnapped to the amalfi coast (italy) the day of my 30th birthday by my boyfriend. I didn't know where we were going until we got to DC. I had to cancel my meetings at work with a phone call from the DC airport. :) He packed for me and everything!

It's a tossup between my first bike and sled. Probably the bike, although the sled was more fun right away with several feet of snow on the ground at Christmas.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad to be here too. It's amazing. I'm coming up on my 6 month new-kidney birthday.

My first iPhone, in '07. It was even better than I'd anticipated. Runner-up was the experience of standing in line at the Apple Store this past June with my daughter, on my birthday, for the upgrade. There aren't a lot of things she and I can really share in our somewhat difficult relationship - we don't exactly speak the same language despite having somewhat similar interests. But that was a great morning and a great birthday for us, ages 19 and 49. (Hers is June 24...)

I remember getting my first computer. A 286. Compudyne, I think. Without that, I wouldn't be here right now. If I recieved anything else that year, I couldn't tell you what. I was too busy installing a bootleg copy of LogoWriter and learning how to make the computer do stuff using machine code.

My NES and my first bike. I can remember those two gifts like it just happened to me yesterday.

One Christmas eve, Andrew and I realized we hadn't bought each other presents yet. We went to a store and independently picked out gifts. Turns out we each got the same Lego set. I like the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing we have such compatible tastes (plus having 2x the legos)

I think my Acer netbook last year. My BlackBerry this year runs a very close second. When I dig a little deeper though, the original NES that my siblings and I got from one of our grandmothers back in the 80s did have us all pretty ecstatic.

I made a 1,000 cranes as a wedding gift for my best friend. She still talks about how much she loves it. It took a long time, but was worth it when I saw the look on her face when she opened it.

My childhood dog would be #1, but my best nonliving gift would be my Tivo. Best invention ever and still going strong after 5 years!

And for me, my daughter of course. It does also help that she's just so damn cute! BEST GIFT EVER!

When I graduated from high school my dad gave me $1,000 cash as a gift. I had never seen so much money in my life. I was overwhelmed with possibilities and gratitude. I had a big party for the entire graduating class, and I bought a 35 mm camera to replace the one that had been stolen from me.
- Call me Bronco
Honestly I'm not sure, I can't remember anything. All the things that I really liked getting it, I gave it to myself. But I vividly remember the presents I loved the most to give. :)
- Olivia Lovag
I think the best was a night at a comedy club in Harvard Square. The comedienne was so funny that I had to stop twice and just close my eyes and breath deeply, to survive. Also playing a large factor was that it was the first birthday present I ever got from a girlfriend.
- Jorg Brown
By contrast, I think the best present I ever *gave* was tickets to a Broncos game in December. My brother & my dad went, and it was cold, and the game was a long string of disappointments, with fans streaming out of the stadium during the fourth quarter because Denver was two touchdowns behind. Why was it such a good present? Because Elway was QB, and he won the game.

gonna have to tear up my tile and tub frame to terminate the lines and wait for price pfister to send me the part...for free. fyvm!
- Carlos Ayala
from iPhone
Wait. They have a breakable part hidden? There's no way to just detach the face of the handle?
- Admiral Anika
the plastic piece the activates the handle is part of a cartidge. this plastic arm snapped inside the cartridge. its a known unadvertised defect. which is why pf replaces it for free. my problem is 2 parts: the cartridge and no access panel to the inside of my tub.
- Carlos Ayala
from iPhone
Dang. That would have me fuming too. It's one thing to not disclose stuff, but knowing you'd have to rip into the surround sounds sketchy at best.
- Admiral Anika
the piece itself is easy to replace. screw the top off and swap out. the problem is no one carries it. so because of this i had to turn the water off at the main. and to terminated the water at the tub (in order to turn the water at the main back on) i'll have to remove the tile and cut through the frame as well. i am really heated now, ive decided to get a whole new faucet. fuck it. i still have to cut up the tile and frame though.
