What big launch? Is something new coming? (obviously) I want to know!! :-)
- Dave Winer
Echoing Dave. Is a new feature set arriving, or is this just FriendFeed's presentation to the world?

I spent a week in the jungle last Sept and had a great time.

Went to Peru more than 10 years ago and did the Inca Trail (amazin, you should do it!)
- Martin Añazco
Wonderful experience! Have fun.
- jcunwired
Have fun; some friends of mine have visited and it sounds amazing. I think I know what you'll be launching :)
- Benjamin Golub
the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is *amazing*. Just remember, the easy part is getting up - going down was much harder and I was jealous of all the people who had walking sticks, I destroyed my knees going down without 'em.

Well, they'll see how much they miss and need him when he's gone. A lot! Not a dumb move.

Perhaps FriendFeed is relocating its offices to Peru, and Bret is just the advance guard. :)

From the page: "For the people who have just been sucked into the forex trading arena, all they can see is the future prospect of money rolling in at an alarming rate, the children going to private schools and holidays to any part of the globe on a quarterly basis. The reality is a little bit more mundane than this; the majority will lose all the money that they have placed in this endeavour, even those that take time to study the subject will find that it is actually quite difficult to enter into profit."

the point of life? - http://niniane.blogspot.com/2008...

I've thought about this a lot, and the answer I've come up with has changed over the years. I think my most current answer at this point is "maximize happiness". That covers a lot, from doing things in the moment that make me happy, to treating others well to increase happiness around me, to making choices for the long term that ensure my future happiness. Of course, that is assuming that there actually is a "point" of life at all, which is a different discussion.
- Rich Bragg
I'd say maximize happiness while not encroaching on other people's right to happiness. And that makes things far more complicated.
- Lilly Irani
I recall that it has something to do with the number 42... It seems like it also has something to do with helping people out and accepting whatever happens.
- Paul Buchheit
"This reminds me that I need to write a blog post about how Chinese mothers need to stop forcing their kids to play the fucking piano/violin." Laughing at this one. Every time I see a Chinese (or Japanese) kid playing an instrument, it is indeed one of those two. Might be something to do with Suzuki...? (Suzuki is Japanese, but still...)
- Voyagerfan5761
If we want to discuss it here, I should add: the point of life in equal or below 400 characters. But perhaps that'll force us to find something everyone finally agrees on. Imagine the headlines: "Meaning of Life Uncovered on Social Feed Site -- Mr. Buchheit, site co-founder, calls it quits and moves to the Fiji islands after having succeeded in providing a tool that finally solved the age old ..."
- Philipp Lenssen
my japanese mom and chinese dad forcedme to play piano. i hated it and begged them to let me quit. they said ok. but then they forced me to play the electric organ instead. : (
- Jess Lee
My caucasian mother forced me to play the piano as a child. I love playing now, and I'm very happy that she did. :)
- m13a
I'm with m13a, mostly. And Niniane, I still am amused when I reminisce upon my many piano performances. Typically, me and an Italian kid were the only non-Asians in the recital hall, and we'd look at each other, both a bit puzzled and bemused.

On the plus side, disproportionately many of the Eastman violin students are Asian. Perhaps the maternal insistence is having real positive effects?
- j1m
positive for who?
- Jim Norris
(that's probably grammatically incorrect, but "whom" just sounds wrong and looks out of place with my lack of capitalization)
- Jim Norris
Some of my more profound existential ponderings have come in the Wynn and other buffets..... But the true answer is there isn't one. The point of life is what you make of it.
- Chris Reed
The point of life is to share things with others. Using FriendFeed.
- Amit Patel
Positive as in leading to an actual career, as opposed to a punitive hobby.
- j1m
niniane, that is so interesting: i remember at Caltech my friend was referring to you as the girl who walked around parties wondering what the meaning of life is. yay, that's the niniane i know! glad to see some things haven't changed. cheers, love ya :P
- Huy Zing
@Amit: Exactly. :-)
- Voyagerfan5761
re: Huy Zing. Oh, you made me laugh so hard.
- niniane
re: all the people who said they're glad they were forced. Damn you! You're the justification parents use when they force their children to play instruments.

My chinese Mum forced me to play the piano. After struggling valiantly, I said that I wanted to quit. She said, fine, here's your violin. To bring the universe into balance, I'm going to force my kids to play Aussie rules.

而人究竟为何读书呢？先行再说或许更有意义。参看80年前鲁迅写的《青年必读书》.总觉得行动活紧永远比读书重要，追求貌似虚无的东西总没有生活那么实在，而或者说读书本身就是生活的一种。矛盾中。
