Nice! I love steel drums. Really underrated and underused instrument, imho.

This just happened to me today. A year later, and the "stuck in London" story hasn't changed.

Nice! Be sure that if she wants to use a custom domain she upgrade the account and use the A record method specified on the Settings page.

Hi Emma,

Wow, thanks! Really cool that my question prompted a post. Thanks so much for taking the time out to explain. I'll post a comment over there, too :)

Thanks for stopping by, Sasa! It really is lovely here and I wish more friends could visit, but it is rather costly to get up here from most places. If you're ever able to swing it, we'll have to meet up!

America may be in ways at the root of it, but it's not just an American struggle. Plenty of people in the rest of the world use Facebook and Twitter, watch and create bad reality TV programming, and have increasingly narcissistic tendencies.

Not self-aggrandizing at all. I believe it! I've always looked up to you for your ability to whip together presentations. It's a rare skill indeed.

Good review, but it fails to recognize that, while Julia Roberts is always Julia Roberts, she's in this instance also Elizabeth Gilbert -- who is the real woman who wrote the story of her life that this movie is based off.

Again, I don't disagree with anything stated here, but there is a need to recognize that it is first the book that has issues of privilege, exoticism, Oprah-friendliness, etc... And also a need to recognize that there is a real woman (Elizabeth Gilbert) who lived her life that way and chose to package it in such a manner.

Betty's right, she's not a cougar. She's a white tiger.

For some reason the reaction I want to give to this is "I'm so proud of you!!" Proud of what, I'm not sure. Perhaps of graduating from Merely Disgusting Burgers and tackling Totally Frightening Burgers That Could Very Well Become Sentient and Eat You In Your Sleep. That thing looks massive.

Black Moth Super Rainbow had this sort of jello wrestling pit set up in the back (lime flavored, if you must know). Y'know, like mud wrestling. But with jello. Thought that was a little odd.

We recently watched Hair and this odd movie translated as The Adventures of Picasso. This necklace is somehow the embodiment of those two combined. And it's also very cute!

Automattic received funding from four groups in early 2008, and Polaris Ventures was among those. This article has some more details: http://www.nytimes.com/2008...

Thank you! I spend perhaps too much time thinking about these things, but I deem it highly important. Our reputations as actors on social networks are becoming increasingly synonymous with our reputations as individuals, employees, and friends. It didn't always work in quite that way, but the new pattern is clear, and very much worth talking about.

Re: Are you using Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter differently?

heather_r — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 19:54:15 -0000

They're vastly different platforms with vastly different goals. Here's how I use each:

Facebook: Have been on it since undergrad, and have a large network. It was once more important to me, but now I don't check in too often and don't take it seriously. Sometimes I'll have wall exchanges with friends, which are almost exclusively based on inside jokes. Status updates are rarely related to anything I'm actually doing. I'll add someone new when I meet them, if only to feel more "connected." Sometimes I'll send messages to folks I don't have other contact info for. It's great for rekindling old/lost connections. I don't share anything there (or anywhere) that I would be ashamed of.

LinkedIn: Purely professional, and not used often. Very rarely send messages or take part in other social activity, aside from adding new coworkers / associates / friends to my network and replying to any requests sent to me. Any actions I take there are explicitly toward the end of building my professional persona / furthering my career. To me, it feels cold. Interactions there typically aren't very rich.

Twitter: Used for a blend of personal/social and professional use. I'm highly aware of the public and repostable nature of my tweets. Content posted varies from where I am at the moment, to work-related links, to tweets about personal projects, to quotes and other links that I personally enjoy. I like it because it's malleable. I think people tend to understand that what they're seeing is a glimpse of me as an entire person. @s and DMs are effective for quick, asynchronous communication between acquaintances. I've met lots of new people in the real world through Twitter ("Oh, you like that, too? Let's meet." "Oh, you're there, too? Let's meet.")
