As a matter of fact, studies indicate that in a number of cases napping actually improves the ability to sleep at night.

I like this bit: "Napping makes me more productive." Isn't that right, Louis?

Augmented Identity App Helps You Identify and Friend Perfect Strangers, Face to Face | Popular Science - http://www.popsci.com/technol...

"Dubbed Recognizr, the app essentially works like this: the user points the camera at a person across the room. Face recognition software creates a 3-D model of the person's mug and sends it across a server where it's matched with an identity in the database. A cloud server conducts the facial recognition since and sends back the subject's name as well as links to any social networking sites the person has provided access to."

This sort of thing is only going to work as an opt-in service, so I don't see any harm. You have to upload photos and profile info and such for it to know you. My only real concern is over false matches.
- Otto
Why not just go up to the person and say hi?
- Sam Levine
Other people have tagged my name and photo on Facebook, Picasa, etc., so there's plenty of data out there to build a recognizer even if I don't opt-in.
- Amit Patel
@Sam : I assume it's for getting links to people whom you've already gone up and said hi to. Or stalking, of course. Either way works.
- Otto
@Sam: I think the idea is that you find out details about them, then go up and say, “Hi Sam, remember me? We went to X high school together. Hey, what are you up to? Are you still going out with Y?” as you swipe their wallet.
- Amit Patel
I'm uncertain how well this would work if dealing with, say, "the whole world" as your data set. Face recognition apps like Picasa Web or Photo Tagger on Facebook generally only work because the data set they're dealing with is "your friends". It doesn't have to search the entire universe of people to identify them, just the universe of my existing friends list.
- Otto
@Nicolas: You just have to find makeup that causes extreme glare to camera CCDs but is invisible to the human eye. I think the people who make radar detectors and license plate obfuscation have some material like this (so that their license plates don't show up on police cameras).

Another potential solution to Akiva's basement bass issues. (see http://friendfeed.com/akiva...)

That'll go over well.
- Josh Haley
maybe in japan, but i'd need a bit more space... enough to do jumping jacks at least, ya know?
- Chris Heath
Hay! At least it already has a Mac in there.

You could set the subwoofer right on top of it.
- Ken Sheppardson
If you took away the "needs to be able to stand up inside it" requirement, you could save at least 30% of the volume, maybe more.
- Andrew C (✓)
That whole chamber could be a subwoofer *thinks of possibilities...*

I'd settle for a good ol' cubicle. Our new office has workstations wirthout dividers and they forgot to get us any filing cabinets for under the desk. We're working out of cardboard boxes stowed on the floor and coughing on each other.

Either an incredibly awesome idea, or an unbearably shitty idea. I can't tell yet.

I love the pods we have in our office :-) -- http://picasaweb.google.com/photos...

I'd totally work out of something like this. In a heartbeat.
- Hookuh Tinypants
For me it would depend on the view, although something a bit larger would be nice, ala http://www.flickr.com/photos...
- Ken Sheppardson
Yeah Ken, that one is pretty sweet... the location helps a lot too

It would be cool if there was a conference room module and a bathroom module. You could lease a field, plant a garden and a dozen pods and start a company.

Dev Patnaik: "Business schools moved to a model that emphasized quick thinking, confident elocution and a style of reasoning that looked more like combat than it did contemplation. Indeed, the entire case study approach values explicit data (economic or otherwise) at the expense of intuition, snappy answers at the expense of thoughtful questions, and competition at the expense of collaboration. Students are rarely encouraged to confess “I don't know, but wonder if…” They're instead encouraged to look like they know the answer, whether they know it or not. We didn't just teach students that economists view people as self-serving with guile. We taught students that they should be self-serving with guile if they wanted to do well in our classes. And we taught them the “soft skills” they needed to get really good at it."

Obamatravel.org helps you sponsor an Obama campaigner to head to a battleground state and do some in-person grassroots work. Why not give a few bucks to help someone get to Nevada or Florida?

Oh, I thought this might sponsor flights to Canada if McCain wins.

Or flights to somewhere we're not inundated with Obama or Palin or McCain 24/7!

He he, yah, a much requested "feature" :) Sorry about that...

I suppose she could lobby you to delete the whole item

So, when is search coming? :-) The share bookmarklet + searchable feeds would nicely replace del.icio.us for me...
- Kevin Scott
are u guys gonna write crawlers for every interesting site out there ?
- Parashuram
Parashuram: an API and more generic feed processing is definitely in the future... We will keep you posted.
- Bret Taylor
you can atleast give out a way to add RSS feeds...most sites have activities as RSS
- Parashuram
Alex: just tack on &service=internal (swap internal for whatever service you want)
- Benjamin Golub
Oh, not sure I understood what you wanted 100%, if you wanted a filtered feed, then you can do what I mentioned...
- Benjamin Golub
Thanks for the invite! So far, so happy! I'm bitter at Plaxo for creating a beautiful feed that I can't post anywhere else.
- Seth or Alexa
I was expecting some alerts config ..when i get comments or like's !
- Swaroop
including the "Comment" in the feed would be helpful.
- Swaroop
The bookmarklet is really nice - much nicer integration than the Google "Share Stuff" pop-up. Well done.
- Thomas Korte
Looks like you want to take over delicious with better usability. Nice.
