Ross and Dan made this video to illustrate the advanced technology we use behind the scenes at FriendFeed. (Ross and Dan, you are amazing - I can't believe how awesome this thing turned out)

How very creative. This is very fluid and cool.

OK, not exactly what I was expecting, but very cool.

Anyone have the video somewhere other than Youtube? it's banned here in Turkey and I can't wait until we get home (next month) to watch it!!

Bret, this video should be titled: A Love Song for FriendFeed ! Great vid (and music) !

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

I think they need to make a full stop-motion version of the Matrix in legos. Now THAT would be awesome. I wonder what bullet-time looks like in LEGO?
- Bret Taylor
i'd pay to see the stop animation lego matrix, but not the sequels

We just got a pressure washer. I started pressure washing the bricks in our back patio and the teak furniture when Paul wanted to try it out "for just a second." It's been more than a half an hour and he's still out there. "This is a lot of fun," he says. Yeah, I thought so, too. <pout>
A power washer? He should clean out Zuckerbergs bank account. ;)

I love a good power washing (left open intentionally).

The only thing that captivates a man more than hosing things down (so to speak) is controlling the remote control.

It must be a man thing; I love our pressure washer too.

So does April, so apparently not just a man thing. :)

It's bad enough when my wife borrows my leaf blower. There's no way I'm letting her touch my power washer!
- Gabe
I got to use our pressure washer exactly once; and even then I had to fight for my turn. Gabe loves it so much he will take it over our friends houses and pressure wash their walks too!
- Maggie
Oh god, I was at a friend's place when he borrowed one and we all had to take turns playing with it.

Just be careful when doing wooden steps or a deck. I took about a quarter of an inch of surface wood off on of our steps before I realized what was happening. I was using a "turbo" attachment, which evidently heightens the effect more than one would think.

"The Sassanid Empire (also spelled Sasanid Empire, Sassanian Empire, or Sasanian Empire), known to its inhabitants as Ērānshahr and Ērān, was the last pre-Islamic Persian Empire, ruled by the Sasanian Dynasty from 224 to 651."

How is it that I made it through World History class in high school without ever hearing about this empire?

If you studied in India, then it was definitely taught in their history books, they were referred to as the Aryan Empire.

"What does that paper tray of deliciousness contain? I’ll break it down for ya. Top: Har Gow dumplings– Shrimp and bamboo. Center: Chicken Bun– Chicken and mushrooms in… that fluffy dough stuff. Bottom: Lotus-Wrapped Sticky Rice– Rice, chicken, shrimp, veggies… and pork. All that was just under $10. (In LA, $10 for lunch is relatively reasonable… it’s cheaper than what I’d pay if I ordered from the menus in our office’s menu-book.)"

"Usually after lunch I want a piece of fruit or chocolate or something, but after this I just wanted the sweet memory of dim sum. I savored that shit. Savored. (For an hour, at least. Then it was on to the afternoon snacky train.)" <---EPIC!

These images show the elevation (yellow is high, green is low) and moisture (blue is wet, brown is dry). In polar coordinates, elevation varies along the radius and moisture varies along the angle. The combination produces some good variety.

"...researcher Ping Wang pointed me towards his grad student's work with UV light. Turns out that the oil glows bright, head-shop fluorescent orange under UV light. Rip Kirby's ultra-powerful $1800 "Klingon Death Ray" ultraviolet spotlight lit up every particle of oil-stained sand, even in seemingly clean areas, and our footprints showed up Day-Glo orange."

The FB docs don't have info on the client credentials flow - I was trying to 'divine' it from the OAuth spec, but I couldn't get it to work. Can we get the individual flows outlined in the docs?
