Re: A Splintered Mind: ADHD: Just in the Nick of...Nope. I'm Late. - http://douglascootey.com/2012...
"Reading this again today I have to say I get it. Boredom is like poison. When I'm wound up with energy it's hard to sit and wait or not engage in doing something to avoid the idleness of the brain. I'm also a terribly consistent creature of habit. Mostly out of necessity or else I get the wrong way or don't do important things. LOL. You continue to impress me though. Working to use your strengths, even turning your ADD habits to positive turns." - Todd Jordan

Todd R. Jordan gave 4 stars to: Hack/Slash - http://www.amazon.com/review...
Todd R. Jordan reviewed: Hack/Slash: My First Maniac, Vol. 1 by Tim Seeley Teen angst with a dark streak, July 7, 2012 This review is from: Hack/Slash: My First Maniac, Vol. 1 (Paperback) When I first started reading I knew this was going to be dark and a bit hard core. The writing at times had me thinking this was going to be a teen angst book. Wrong. Miss Hack is struggling as a young woman both with school and the sudden craziness of her life. The dead coming back to life, vengeful farmers, and faux friends, the lady struggles to find her path. Enjoyed the writing and the art though it was a tad dark on the ink. The antigonist did go on a bit, and Miss Hack was a bit of an overthinker for your average action comic. The back contains alternative cover drawings as a bonus. Warning: there is violance, blood, horror, and generally this is not generally geared for young readers. Looking forward to reading more from this series. - Todd Jordan

Todd R. Jordan gave 5 stars to: The Mongoliad - http://www.amazon.com/review...
Todd R. Jordan reviewed: The Mongoliad: Book One (The Foreworld Saga) by Greg Bear Will you care about a Mongol?, June 23, 2012 Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Mongoliad: Book One (The Foreworld Saga) (Kindle Edition) Mongoliad - The title gives a hint we'll be reading about the Mongols. It doesn't hit you'll come to care about their leader and warriors. The original Khan is dead and a son leads the empire. The horde has ransacked and destroyed much from Asia to Europe. Crusaders and knights, remnants of once large and proud orders, struggle to fight back and slow the Mongol onslaught. This sets the scene for both main plot lines. What drew me to this book was discovering the Clang Kickstarter project. The project aims to bring realistic sword fighting to media in all forms, starting with video games. The author and his team took time to actually pick up swords, get instruction, and research the heck out of things to bring this story to life. I've... - Todd Jordan

I just posted why FriendFeed will go mainstream: http://scobleizer.com/2008...
Do you use Alert Thingy or any of the desktop apps for Friendfeed, or just keep the site open? - Patrick Jordan
I agree, FriendFeed will go mainstream if people start using more of these online services - Justin Yost
I just keep the site open and refresh a lot. - Robert Scoble
That was an awesome and relevant post! Thanks Rob! - Drew Lucas
I use twhirl for updates - Aura Mae from twhirl
I use twhirl, but it keeps moving the screen while I'm typing if there is an update. Hence these random bits of comment you get sometimes... - Rahsheen? from twhirl
Using twhirl also. Just not enough screen space there, and things to roll off. Web page is easier. - Todd Jordan
Well said Robert, good article on why FriendFeed will go mainstream. - Mike Reynolds
FF is definitely gonna need a better interface if it IS going to be useable by non-geeks - Rahsheen?
I was thinking the same thing, Jason. I don't think my mom would ever be able to handle FF, but I'm sure most geeks/social media addicts will love it and it will be a success - Rahsheen?
my mom is not a good design test case i doubt anyone's mom is- the person who wants to be highly digitally connected, is. - Nathan Eckenrode
Robert, I know you didn't intend it, but your two part piece is a great friendfeed newbie tutorial. Thanks. Also, again don't know if it was intentional, but you forgot to include this friendfeed user: http://friendfeed.com/hillary ;-) - Robert Stevens
Robert Stevens that user needs to engage people with the tools as adults who vote not speakat them like children who must be contained. - Nathan Eckenrode
Well, my mom is a programmer and uses online communications to coordinate her team, so I guess she is not the most common "mom" example :) - Rahsheen? from twhirl
Nathan Eckenrode absolutely right about that user needing to engage. Check her friendfeed page. Not a single subscription. - Robert Stevens
and not everyone's mom is theprototypical bumbler that frequently gets assigned t that architypical user group - Nathan Eckenrode
it does make a good friendfeed tutorial, but I don't think it's going mainstream without a serious interface improvement. Its ass ugly! - Justin Flood @justinflood from twhirl
It's not even that it's ugly, it's that it's not really useable. I think it was created to provide as much as possible, but with the understanding that someone would create decent filters/clients for it for regular consumption. - Rahsheen?
I this that whether FF goes mainstream depends mostly on us. - funkyboy
@PatrickJordan - using Twhirl client. - Todd Jordan
Well said. Not entirely certain I agree or disagree with your thoughts, but either way you do present a compelling argument for FF. I think the number one reason that will hold back adoption of a mainstream FF is the benefit to the average user. Unless that is articulated so the *average user* can understand, they will not see the desire to attach themselves to another service. The question at this point is what can, or should, FF do to attract average users? - Scott Jarkoff
@ScottJarkoff - well, partnerships would help. When you sign up for a service, if that service had a check box to add that feed to Friendfeed, it'd be a done deal. - Todd Jordan
@Todd: Agreed. But that begs the question, how would such a partnership benefit the service you're signing up for? There has to be some mutual benefit to a partnership like that. The obvious benefit is for FF, but what does everyone else gain through such an arrangement? - Scott Jarkoff
Scott: I'm not so sure that FriendFeed should worry TOO much about that right now. Instead, make the system of great utility to advanced users like me and you. If they make it easy for me to get rid of the noise and present it to everyone else, then it'll take off. - Robert Scoble
Why FriendFeed WON'T Go Mainstream: 1.) in the mainstream, people don't want to be THIS informed. That's probably equally good for them, and good for those of us who do want to be this informed! 2.) Steve Case subscribed, friended some people and then...didn't engage at all. He's my go-to guy for what the mainstream will eat up like ice cream. - Robert Seidman
Robert: But how does such usage translate over to the average user? Just because us mega-geeks can use FF, and more importantly we can understand it, does not mean that the average user will comprehend why it is useful to them. _Something_ needs to bridge that gap, no? - Scott Jarkoff
Last night I tried to explain FriendFeed and even Twitter to my friend the cop. While he has a Facebook profile, He Just. Didn't. Get It. The harder I tried to explain, the more he just looked at me like I just landed from Venus. - Capn' One Eye - adrift
FF can't go mainstream and I said as much in my comment on your blog post, which is awaiting moderation I guess :(. Main point - I could never explain FF to any of my non techy friends...never - Jennifer Van Grove from twhirl
Alert Thingy helps with the interface 'issues'. I think it has really helped with adoption / holding onto users - John Duff from Alert Thingy
@Geoff Longman - we are from Venus! ;-) welcome to my planet! - Susan Beebe
No doubt FF will go mainstream. It must over come the too many sites back lash, but over time this is a winner. - Russellreno
@patrick I just keep it open, until Firefox crashes! - Prolific Programmer
#humdaybumpday "5. It is freaking fast and much more reliable than Twitter. Today I’ve been putting dozens of Tweets into Twitter and they show up in FriendFeed BEFORE I can refresh the page. It is amazingly fast at gathering new stuff from Twitter. I have not found any other service as reliably fast." So true! - Ahmet Yükseltürk

Todd R. Jordan gave 4 stars to: Cyber Knights RPG Elite - http://www.amazon.com/review...
Todd R. Jordan reviewed: Cyber Knights RPG Elite by Trese Brothers Software Was looking for a Kindle Fire RPG, May 26, 2012 Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Cyber Knights RPG Elite (App) This is old school turn based RPG. It works in that respect. The graphics aren't modern, fancy, or even HD. They work though. It revisits those old school RPG games we played on the PC. Cyber Knights takes place in a cyber punk universe. You play a Cyber Knight in search of work and upgrades. I've just begun playing but it's already addictive. Biggest problem I ran into was learning the controls and understanding exhaustion. Find a bar quick, find work, and earn some coin. Avoid over doing the terminal hacking. Enjoy and looking forward to some upgrades in the future. Focus on content over graphics for sure. - Todd Jordan

Re: A Splintered Mind: ADHD: Apple Reminder's Location Alerts To the Rescue - http://thesplinteredmind.blogspot.com/2012...
"Solid review sir. I've been anxious to find such an app and this sounds like it doesn't quite make the mark. Location aware though is very cool. I'd love to have that on my Android phone, and even in my car if they could do that. Sure, GPS if fine if I'm lost but it doesn't help me where I'm at. I'll have to find a like app for Android, else it won't be much use on the iPad. Thanks for going into detail and giving us a real world walk through. Cheers, Todd" - Todd Jordan
