i posted this photo a couple of weeks back, but the place i got it from didn't describe where it was. i wonder how much that piece of property is worth. looks lovely - Cee Bee
yeah... now we have a stronger dollar, both islands and the better side of the falls - Stewart Rogers
Wikipedia denies it: A popular tale among local guides is that the bigger part of Zavikon is in Canada, while the smaller part is in the United States, and the foot bridge between them is the "shortest international bridge in the world". However, this is not true as both islands are Canadian Territory. So, Citation needed :) - Nikhil Dandekar

They've been talking about doing this forever, right? Do you think it'll get built anytime soon? - Dan Hsiao via Bookmarklet
We can only hope... and vote in November... - Ross Miller
Dude! 2030?!?!?!?!? - Jini
@Jini: 2020. The system should be in service in 2020, and become "commercially self-sustainable" in 2030, when it would cross 100M passengers/year. From the text of proposition 1 (which you should vote for in November): "At a minimum, the entire 700-mile system described in the High-Speed Rail Authority’s Business Plan should be constructed and in revenue service by 2020." See http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/... - Tudor Bosman
Construction should start in 2010, and 10 years to build a California-wide train system is a long time, but not unreasonable. Of course, judging by how long it took for BART service to be extended to the San Francisco airport after the project was approved, I'd say 2050 is a more realistic opening date... - Tudor Bosman

email... honestly ;) wait I lied. I check FF while waiting for my email to load - Mona N via fftogo
E-mail. Here's the process: http://www.louisgray.com/live/... - Louis Gray
Dammit, Louis, you've blogged your workflow. I'm awed. ;-) - Chris Baskind
I've started checking my SNs before my email. Not sure why, because it's more fun? - jjprojects
Email. I use the Mail App, so it is more prevalent on my screen. However, if I were to be using web-based email like I used to, I would almost certainly glance over FriendFeed first. - James Mowery
LG, your organization and the articulation of the flow is impeccable haha - Mona N via fftogo
i do both simultaneously :D - c010depunkk via twhirl
Socialthing, Friendfeed, Email. Why socialthing - I actually find it easier to read posts and sort through them without the comments etc. Then I use the best of features and rooms in friendfeed to read the more interesting stuff with comments and leave my own. - Mick Adams
Twitter used to be the very first thing I checked. Now it's Friendfeed/Facebook, then Twitter, then forums, then news sites and (sometimes) e-mail. - Jamie Clark
I suppose we could risk introducing a mid-conversation followup here: are you out of bed yet when you check? - Chris Baskind
email, if I start on FFeed too quickly, I don't do anything else - Michael W. May via twhirl
Guilty of that. Checking when still yawning in bed. *blush* - Patricia Hanrahan
:) whichever loads first! - edythe
Email.. else I'll never get to that.. - Winston Teo
@Chris I'm out of bed, but I am not always dressed. ;) - Jamie Clark
email immediately followed by FF and then on to Google Reader. - Scott Jarkoff
email, then ff - Alex Plank
I open a set of tabs at once: email, friendfeed, y!finance, techmeme, huffpo - Mark Interrante
Whichever loads first -- Thunderbird or Firefox :) - Alex Hussein Kapranoff
email, email, reader, ff - Erica Baker
I also have a set of tabs I open every morning, but usually read email first. Spam. It's what for breakfast. - Trish Robinson
email. - Stewart Rogers
email -> reader -> ff - Graham Garland
still email - AJ Kohn
E-mail, definitely. Followed almost immediately by FriendFeed. I haven't read a single feed since Feedly stopped working for me. - Akiva Moskovitz

Still E-Mail. - Matthias Schwenk
E-Mail -- Google Reader -- Twitter (there is less to look at for me) -- FriendFeed - Jake (aka Jawee) via twhirl
Sadly, when I wake up, I don't even get out of bed. I pull the iPhone off the nightstand and check e-mail. Then I hit FF, followed by techmeme. Then... coffee. :) - Kevin C. Tofel
FriendFeed is my home page - first thing I see when the browser loads. Then email. - Hutch Carpenter
I have not checked my email yet today :) - Eugene
For me it's email, Google Reader, Twitter, FriendFeed. Then I get up. No wonder I'm often late to leave the house! - Martin Bryant
In order: E-mail, Twitter, High-priority RSS feeds, then FF - Aaron B. Hockley
Email, Reddit, Hacker News/News.YC, FriendFeed - Rudolf Olah
Techmeme,Twitter,FriendFeed,email - Igor Poltavskiy
Email then friendfeed then greader - Ricardo Vidal
I have a bookmarks folder in Firefox with everything I open at the beginning of the day. The first thing I do in the morning is click "open all in tabs" in that folder. The usual stuff is in there -- Google personalized homepage, FF, Reader, mail, calendar (for both home and work); generally, I go through my home email first (just a few messages, usually), then FF, then work email, then Reader and miscellaneous other futzing around. - Tudor Bosman
Google reader is my first stop! - Geoff Schultz
Email is far more critical - Sarah Perez
Friendfeed first and next I'll check email. - Czar D.J. Peterman
friendfeed - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Email first. Hard habit to break ;) - Yung-Hui Lim
email is the first check of the day - mostly because some system notifications and alerts appear there and I want to know how my day is going to be :-) - Kevin Cearns via twhirl
google reader then ff. Only check email occasionally an then usually on iPhone - Brad Davis Seal
I have a weasel answer: both. I usually roll over, grab my iPhone, and have a quick look around as I'm waking up. I check my sites and site comments first, but FF always comes before email. Once I'm up and in front of my desktop, ready to actual work, I do email. I won't touch FF again until I have my workflow for the day. - Chris Baskind
Always e-mail.....because I have to check the status of things, and see where things stand with the tasks for the day and projects for the week... FF is pretty close after - the_IT_factor
both. 1st I open Thunderbird, then I open Firefox. Friendfeed is one of my 7 homepages there. - Cat Laine via twhirl

Hey, I want to go to a wedding chat, drink, dance and generally have a good time... Happy to wish the bride and groom as well.. but taking pictures and posting them.. that sounds like work to me :) - Bindu Reddy
If you build it they will come. - Russellreno
C) How long until the truly embarassing pictures start? - Tudor Bosman
I tried something like this at the first Google Testing Conference. We created a flickr group: http://flickr.com/groups/googl... and set up a flickr slideshow that played through all the photos in the group. We did occasionally have to restart it though. - Adewale Oshineye
why would anyone at the wedding want to see my cell phone camera photos? they are unlikely to be related to the bride and groom - peter
a) Cool, lemme take and add some photos b) Not that I know of - Adam Kazwell
A) Wow, I knew these guys were geeks B) Probably a way to do it using RSS and a public posting address (not sure if flickr allows such a setup) - Rahsheen Porter via NoiseRiver
A) Frakkin' awesome; B) If there isn't, there oughta be. - George Kelly
a.) awesome idea b.) not that I know of! - lisa-k
interesting. you'll have to try it to see if it would work. I bet it depends on the social makeup of the guests - if your family and pals are a bunch of geeks, you're set! - Bruce Williams

Thanks for the wishes... @peter, not sure the idea matters as long as you pick a big and interesting space. We are kicking around a couple right now but no matter what we pick, I am sure there is someone somewhere already doing it :)) I think the devil is all in the details and execution... esp. when it comes to consumer start-ups. - Bindu Reddy
sure you still get great feedback from the friendfeed crowd. see my post on the greeting cards idea; great quality feedback and fast! - peter

The law of unintended consequences in action. - Tudor Bosman
That's an awesome story, but it doesn't make any sense that Grenada would then try the same 'own goal' tactic. If they succeed, they lose. If they don't succeed, they still have an even chance of winning. The only logic for their behavior would be spite: wanting to lose in order to make sure the opponent can't advance either. - Kevin Fox
The only way Barbados would qualify for the final is if they won by at least a 2 goal difference. Grenada would qualify if they won, tied, or lost by a 1 goal difference. So Grenada attacked their own goal to bring the score to 3-2 and ensure that they lose by only 1 goal. - Tudor Bosman
Ahh. The excerpt didn't make it clear that it was an either-or. The Snopes page goes into more detail. Now it makes sense. - Kevin Fox

Cops Target Photographers - News - Miami New Times - Miami New Times
July 9 at 11:32 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
The incident is one of at least four that have occurred in Miami-Dade County over the past year in which photographers have ended up arrested, handcuffed, threatened, intimidated, or accused of being a terrorist. (I spent 16 hours in jail as a result of one of them.) Taken together, they raise the question of whether the First Amendment means anything anymore. "Officers do not have the right to seize cameras, look at the images, or delete the images," says Oregon attorney Bert Krages, who wrote The Legal Handbook for Photographers: The Rights and Liabilities of Making Images. - Thomas Hawk via Bookmarklet
I keep hearing of these incidents - Noah David Simon
Of course, if they delete pictures you can get them back. Take the card out and don't take any more pictures on it. When you get home there are any number of recovery programs that will recover the photos. Sometimes it's just easier to back down and show them you're deleting the pictures, then restore them when you get home and tell your story. Otherwise, the whole camera might get impounded and you'll never get the photos back. - Kevin Fox
You would think that there was enough other crime to deal with in Florida without cops wasting their time bullying photographers? - Brian Sullivan
Wish I could say this surprised me. I'd buy the fact that he was upholding security measures if his issue were that the photographer was photographing a sensitive area ... but this guy got caught probably doing something that's in direct violation of the rules of his shift. Or maybe he was worried that the picture made his ass look big ... which it does. - Cathy Brooks
This makes me want to spend a weekend taking pictures in Miami. With a thousand or so of my closest camera-toting friends. - Chris Baskind
Things like this greatly frustrate me. It's beginning to sound a lot like a police state around here. - Geoff Schultz
Is the ACLU taking a position or action on this issue? - Bruce Williams
Kevin, is there a program you use for this? I didn't know you could recover pics from a card. I thought once they were gone, they were gone for good. - David Cook
WHY?? WHY?? WHY?? lame-O - Susan Beebe
@David: if you haven't taken other pictures (or written to the card in other ways) after the deletion, recovery is easy. I've successfully used a free tool called PhotoRec in the past. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki... - Tudor Bosman
This is a shame. They were talking about this on TWIP a few weeks back and the guy actually stood up to the police. I believe they are gathering a bunch of Photographers to that spot in LA so they can all take pictures where they guy was asked to stop. - Matt Donders
Of course, this is also a good reason to get an Eye-Fi card. By the time you delete the photo it may already be posted to your flickr account! - Kevin Fox
wow those are some seriously disturbing stories. - Chris Jones via twhirl
Reminds me of my story last year in San Antonio - I had basically chosen to not get arrested by capitulating to a big, threatening cop with obvious anger issues... a reporter friend of mine at a major daily told me, when I relayed the story to him the next morning, that it wasn't really a story unless I got arrested. I mean it's getting that common, and that's sick. Story here: http://www.cosmictap.com/an-ac... - Anthony Citrano
I think there is safety in numbers and maybe someone in the group could photograph the incident. @TWIPPHOTO has a poll this week asking is you shoot photos alone or with others. - Bob

I think this is outlandish even in the (otherwise totally crazy) aviation security world. On the other hand, maybe they've found the solution to the problem of children crying during the whole flight in the row right behind mine... - Tudor Bosman
@silpol: To be fair, the Washington Times sensationalizes the story. It is based on a letter from a low-ranking DHS official to a Lamperd Less Lethal representative. IMO, that letter is just saying "I don't have the guts to tell this guy to f* off, so let him try to move through the wheels of bureaucracy". - Tudor Bosman
Also, the article talks about the bracelet being used as "a physical restraining device, but also as a method of interrogation". I couldn't find any reference to interrogation in the cited letter but this: "a mobile base read/write emitter/interrogator station", which clearly refers to the technical meaning of "interrogator" (a device that probes / asks / queries / "interrogates" another device for various bits of data). - Tudor Bosman
for my years in electronics/computers i've never heard interrogation as engineering term, but knew it enough from (distant) military past - this looks to me like classical "boiling frog alive with pan open" case... naturally, i don't dispute your right to have different opinion - silpol

ABC News has confirmed that authorities are in the process of recovering Nina Reiser's remains from Redwood Regional Park, east of Skyline Boulevard. The body was found in a bag, buried deep in a ravine. The bag was well concealed and could have been easily overlooked. Authorities had a forensic anthropologist on scene to help recover the body. - bob via Bookmarklet
Sources tell ABC News that a deal was struck with Reiser that would reduce his conviction from first-degree murder to second-degree murder. The lesser charge means Reiser could receive a sentence of 15 years to life, instead of the previous 25 years to life. - bob
aha, so he did do it. - j1m

his post is such link bait to get him amazon referrers. Can he link every chair in one post? Kind of ridiculous. - Stefan Hayden
I was always tempted by the Microsphere integrated workstation idea, but I guess they're out of business now. Oddly, my current programming chair isn't on this list... - ⓞnor
I do miss my Steelcase Leap from Google. By the way, does anyone know of a local Bay Area store / showroom where I could try the Herman-Miller Mirra, various Steelcase chairs, and hopefully the HumanScale Liberty as well? - Tudor Bosman
Unfortunately vendors seem sort of disjoint, you might have to visit several. The Chair Place (531 Bryant, SF) looks sort of fun to visit, but they don't seem to carry any Herman Miller or Steelcase. - ⓞnor
Design Within Reach has Mirra and Liberty, but no steelcase. there's a store in palo alto and santana row - David Vasileff
There's also a DWR in SF on Alameda and Potrero. I actually prefer the Eames chairs, but they don't have all the fancy adjustments. Just simple and elegant (and expensive). You can get these from DWR, but they don't list all the models on the website. - Chris White
DWR is also fun for the whole "*this* costs *that* much??!" gawking value. - ⓞnor
I ordered my Celle from officedesigns.com - not to provide advertising, but they were cheap, good selection and free shipping (and no tax, I believe). I remember vaguely having an issue with them not really sure about when they were going to get it back in stock and a little yelling after awhile, but they came through. - felix
Also, somebody in the comments said that tables are a ripoff and you should only buy expensive chairs. I just bought my 3rd swerve two-track table and I love these desks. The surface is perfect for programming. - Chris White
wait, you program on the surface of your desk? i literally just plunk my monitors on the front of it use the space behind them to stack up old coffee cups. Hmm, you're going to tell me I should arm-mount my monitors, aren't you? - j1m
