Re: JCPenney selling Xbox360

Christine — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 19:54:59 -0000

You know that there must be a lot of desperate moms out there that are willing to pay that kind of money to get their hands on an Xbox360 for Christmas.

However, much to my 13-year old son's dismay, I am not one of them.

Re: His and her matching port-a-potties

I saw some like those over by Home Slice before I left Austin. Too amusing. Pink Porta-potties ROCK!

Funny, they keep trying to get me to take the acid reflux meds for the symptoms that show up on the scope, but that I don't actually feel. So that might be part of why I lose my voice so easily? I need to actually listen to them and take the meds to see if it will help? Interesting!

Thanks for sharing the news - as a fellow sufferer, it is an exciting moment. I can't WAIT to hear the podcasts and other goodness now! (Go slowly though!)

That is so awesome! Congratulations! Sweeeet!

Thank you so much for the fantastic information, and super fast! Awesome!

When you come down to Texas for the campaign, will you be in Houston? Let us know if you are!

So I'm reading along, humming the "My Favorite Things" song. A little Maria Von Trapp action going ... and then I hit it. "Hotel Sex". Now I just can't stop laughing! It seems somehow so ... naughty! *giggle*

Re: Flickr Old Skool Badges @ Dan Rubin’s SuperfluousBanter

I disagree with those that say there is "no value to tthe end user" as Flickr needed to do this to allow them to then offer things that they could not do before. They could have handled it all better, but they are admitting that themselves.

That said, I'm totally stoked about adding "OldSkool" to my icon over there tonight.

Re: Foursquare is the Breakout Mobile App at SXSW

Christine — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 00:43:05 -0000

How is it that FourSquare and Contxts both use the 50500 number as the number to send texts to for their services?

Re: Want a Free iPhone From #Squarespace? Read the #FinePrint

Christine — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:34:06 -0000

I knew what the prize was when I twittered about it this morning. I had no problems with it either. I already have a 3G iPhone, but I would *love* to have a $199 gift certificate. So if they pick me to win, sweet!

I don't think they are being deceptive at all, and I think it is great that they have set it up this way so that people that already have iPhones - or don't want an iPhone - still have an option to participate!

Re: Simplicity and Start-up Alchemy: An Interview with WordPress Creator, Matt Mullenweg (Plus: 4HWW Party in SF and Stunt Competition)

Christine — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 23:57:55 -0000

Ahhh, that Matt. He is so awesome. I want to be like him when I grow up. And I can *totally* hear his girlfriend saying she is going to kick your ass.

Excellent tips! I signed up for the AwayFind beta, now here is hoping that I get in!

Re: Web 2.0 consolidation ahead?

Christine — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:25:30 -0000

We decided last night at the Houston NetSquared meeting that we are moving on past Web 2.0. We're going to Web 7.2. Although maybe your Mobile 2.0 idea is a better one.

I'm still kicking myself for not being brave enough to come talk to you at SXSW last week. I know, silly but true. Ah well, there is always next year...

Re: Austin in My Mind

Christine — Sun, 12 Mar 2006 18:43:31 -0000

I can't even begin to tell you how hard it has been to stop myself from jumping in the car and driving to Austin. If only I didn't have grown up responsibilities to take care of. *sigh*

Re: Nate’s First Steps

Christine — Mon, 25 Dec 2006 22:06:29 -0000

What a wonderful gift. Hope you all had a good holiday! :-)

Re: Seven Years, No Itch

Christine — Tue, 01 May 2007 22:06:21 -0000

Awwwww... that is such an incredibly sweet sentiment. I'm seriously getting a bit misty-eyed.

Happy Anniversary (a bit late) to both of you!

Re: i love the smell of controversy in the morning

Christine — Mon, 29 Jul 2002 00:49:49 -0000

Thank you for being a Switzerland. ;) Oh, and for posting your boobs too.

Know what's a cool feeling? When I'm typing a comment in to your blog and then get an e-mail to let me know that you just commented on mine. It's like ... wow!

Re: jerk your knee

Christine — Tue, 06 Aug 2002 05:02:07 -0000

How freakin' stupid. I hate governments, I really do. Big meanies.

Re: because i really am crazy

Christine — Tue, 06 Aug 2002 05:18:41 -0000

ROFL! Way to go KD! You rock. As always. But you knew that, right? :)

I too do things just like that for the selfish reasons. I can't stand waiting for blogspot to load, and I like to leave comments!

Re: you just never know

Christine — Mon, 12 Aug 2002 04:04:54 -0000

Wow. That's truly sad.

Like you, I would have blogged it. I would have to get it out. I would need to write. Not odd, just the way it is. Sending you some positive thoughts, vibes, prayers, feelings ... you know. Good stuff.

Re: mayonnaise

Christine — Tue, 20 Aug 2002 02:51:25 -0000

I absolutely despise mayonnaise. I mean ... hate it with a passion. Just looking at it makes me want to puke. Matt has added a whole new level to my hatred of mayo, now that I know where it really comes from. Ick.

Re: name that blog

Christine — Tue, 20 Aug 2002 06:08:06 -0000

Dude. That's cool. (Especially since I got the answer right!)

"i should no way have taken time off and spent money going to vegas of all places what was i thinking the cable bill, car and insurance all have to be paid *today* or else" Don't you freakin' hate it when you do that? I do that all the time, and it bugs the crap out of me! You would think I would learn, but do I? Nooooooo...

Screw it, I'm giving you a hug anyways. Because I need one. Now just shut up and gimme a hug!

Re: back from the dead (i hope)

Christine — Tue, 27 Aug 2002 07:50:55 -0000

We have been treated very well by the company that backs us up. They have been known to often match other company's plans. E-mail me if you want more details - or just something less cryptic then this! LOL

Re: blogcon pix

Christine — Thu, 29 Aug 2002 00:26:21 -0000

Who is who! Who are the people in the group shot with the drinks? Who are the chicks in the "hotties" picture? The "Glitter Girls"? I know who some people are (like you could miss Hoopty?) but I don't know who everyone else is. Tell me! :) Oh - and thanks for sharing the pictures!

Re: randomly enough

Christine — Mon, 02 Sep 2002 04:00:16 -0000

I still get all mushy and sappy when I think about it. She was a great woman who lived through a lot of pain, and when she seemed to be at a happy point finally, her life was cut short.

Re: a few words about tomorrow…

Christine — Wed, 11 Sep 2002 08:40:09 -0000

Good point. I might keep blogging through the day - it depends on what words need to come out. Like you and many others, the internet is my comfort. We'll see what the day brings.

Re: vote for Christine

Christine — Mon, 16 Sep 2002 05:02:54 -0000

You are THE BEST!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Free boobie photos for all!

Re: bizarre miracles

Christine — Fri, 11 Oct 2002 05:03:57 -0000

OMG... that *so* sounds like something I would do. Are you sure we aren't twins or something?

(I still owe you an e-mail. Having a social life lately has killed my online time. Laughed with manic laughter over the pink cookie story. THANK YOU for sharing it!)

Re: kd’s advice for the dent-o-phobic

Christine — Fri, 11 Oct 2002 06:16:22 -0000

I absolutely HATE novicane. In ways I can't even explain. It hurts. It makes my head hurt. I'm in agony after I get it.

I have had 5 crowns done without novicane ... or gas. Hu-rah! (I know. You're impressed.)

Re: i’ve had too much to think

Christine — Thu, 17 Oct 2002 22:06:02 -0000

Pssst... are there still pink cookies in his photo log? *wink* (Oh, that still totally cracks me up!)

Re: my trip to the dentist & other pictures

Christine — Sat, 26 Oct 2002 23:38:07 -0000

Fantastic! I love photo trips!

Re: school days

Christine — Tue, 29 Oct 2002 06:06:45 -0000

I have a book like that for Jason that I bought at my local Half Price Books. Of course he's in 5th grade now and the book has nothing written in it...

Re: this one’s for the fat girls

Christine — Wed, 06 Nov 2002 21:40:32 -0000

I'm inspired and THANKFUL to finally be dating someone that loves me for me, just like I am. And he tells me that I am beautiful even though I have issues with the "too fluffy" parts of my figure. Ahhhh... what wonderful bliss! Especially after 8 years of hell with the Insignificant Other!

Now I can't wait to be a lusty wench at the Ren Faire on Saturday! What a blast I'll have! Skinny chicks just can't get the cleavage right. Mwuhahahaha!

Re: this one’s for the fat girls

Christine — Wed, 06 Nov 2002 21:42:15 -0000

OH! OH!!! I know where the quote is from! (I think. I hope I'm right) Is it from "Baby got Back"? Am I right? Do I get a prize? ;-)

(E-mail me and let me know!)

Re: be careful what you wish for

Christine — Sun, 15 Dec 2002 03:06:18 -0000

You are *so* not alone right now. I am going through the same thing - although I didn't have any warning at all, just a polite "go home now." Sooooo... we can sit around all day long and chat instead of working. I mean, that has to be profitable, right? *sigh* Well, at least I'm temping next week. Some money is better than no money at all.

Re: computer. driving. me. insane.

This laptop can play most DVDs, but the day I got the LOTR extended version & wanted to watch it at work? No dice. Thanks mean DVD player. Grrrr... Oh well, I lost my job after that and then I got to watch it at home - so pfffffft! (How is that for a sad spin on the unemployment situation? LOL!)

Re: something like a blog, but not quite

Christine — Wed, 15 Jan 2003 03:54:20 -0000

Damn, that ROCKS! It makes me want to redesign everything right now!

Re: hooha

Christine — Thu, 06 Feb 2003 02:04:15 -0000

Did you move and I missed the memo? I'm so confused... Help.

(I think the fact that I can't see anything out of my office window thanks to the fog and haze isn't helping. Where did my awesome view go???)

Re: FlickrFan: A Heads-Up For License Conscious Flickr Photographers

Christine — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 01:40:29 -0000

Interesting. I went through a similar round of discussions with Dave Winer a few years ago over the fact that his Weblogs RSS page encouraged similar behavior that bordered on copyright infringement because so many people are completely unaware of the ramifications of RSS.

Interesting to see it come back around years later, and still with no real resolution.

Re: D29: “That’s a Girl Car”

It is always interesting when young children come up with gender assignments to things. I remember my son doing the same thing at about that same age.

Seriously cool action for the photo - I love how it came out!
