DISQUS

I try to stay away from cheap cookies because I know if there are a ton of cookies sitting around, it's easy to break and have "just one" because there are so many. It's like when you're baking cookies for an event and they come hot off out of the oven...and you have to have "just one".

Especially ginger snaps... they're addicting!

How did I miss this? I realize I'm late to participate in any sort of bet, but I am going to be re-dedicating myself to this starting: now.

The F402 is my favorite bang-for-buck pen. I'm sure there are better pens for more money, but it's my favorite.

My penmanship is terrible. Also, I can't spell.

I think reading longer pieces regardless of the medium, forces you to focus and think about that topic. I loved sitting down and reading Anathem for 30 minutes here and there because it made me think. I'd spend an hour "reading", but I'd have read for 30 minutes and then spent the next 30 minutes sketching ideas in my mind about what I had just read and the concepts introduced therein.

One thing I do have to say is that as people read less books and more websites, we need to point people toward quality consuming. Example: Even if it's a once in a while thing, a lively debate about the relevance of the modern aristocracy (celebrities, fat cat CEOs, etc.) for someone that normally reads all the gossip mags and their online equivalent.

There are quality conversations happening online relevant to people's interests, even for people who spend hours online reading about Paris Hilton's dog's new haircut.

It is really sad how so many people are clueless to the 'cooking' aspect of life these days.

Definitely going to be watching & subscribing. I love food shows like this.

Shark steak- as a final note - is one of my favorite dishes ever!

While I am all for people charging for their work, I think that in this case, unless it provides something ultra special or new, there shouldn't be a trial. It's a torrent client, and the free torrent clients absolutely rock. He's got to have something better than other clients or fill a unfilled want/need that is worth paying for.

Not to knock the app, and I agree with you - the 'trial' on the application is ridiculous. 1 hour with nagware?!

Unless there is auto-syncing, AND the App is faster than using a web-based safari client... there really is no point, right?

I use desktop based clients for one purpose: so i can still read the news when I have no access to the internet.

With an iPhone, I suppose if you didn't have 3G service for the majority of the area or time you use your phone, then a App would make sense, but otherwise...

We do have both seals and sea lions in San Diego, which makes it more difficult, but I did get a good look at the overly friendly Pinniped and it was a sea lion

I'm fairly certain it was a sea lion too, but probably a young one.

I think it'd be cool if you were able to detect if the referral was from google images, and then if it was, throw up a javascript that covers the entire browser window and welcomes them to your website and links to the front page of your photo section.

That way people who are interested enough to click through actually look at your images, but people who are just trying to steal the image get lost and leave.

Coincidentally, these also show exactly how I love my hair cut, so I may be printing out a little mini booklet for barbers and hairstylists that don't understand much of the English that comes out of my mouth.

=) Very sweet shots ...the first one is pretty insane.

I think it's needed. Just as you said, it's not an issue if you're the only one who uses the computer, or if you never clear your cookies.

But multiple users (even if it's just a friend checking his email on your system) is a large enough group of people that it's worth having on.

I think there's some sort of privacy issue but i can't come up with anything at the moment.

Also, I often choose not to use the remember me because I use have a set of passwords for each site and typing the username and password each time helps me memorize them. If I've only logged in once to a site, I'm pretty much screwed if I have to login a month down the road. I can guess and go through them all, but it's frustrating to have to send password reminders all the time.

Woot! All that greasy food and you maintained! Positive - it means that when you get onto the court and cut back on the grease, you can lose.

While it's a nice idea, facebook has become the 'haven' for all those people who are trying to get rich quick. The 'marketplace' is filled with people hawking affiliate links and "win a free iphone" garbage. People who don't know me started to want to add me. I messaged a few and they seemed genuinely interested in sharing ideas and networking, but all was revealed, they just wanted to spam me. The signal to noise is terrible, even with real friends. A notice everytime a person adds an application, a picture, anything. I doubt I even have 50 people on facebook, but it's ridiculous how much unnecessary notifications. Yes, you can turn them off. Individually. But as more and more people write facebooks apps, it just creates more and more apps i have to turn notifications off of. Facebook used to be cool because it was clean, slick, and not filled with garbage. Not anymore.

Bricked usually is termed as 'useless', only good for a paper weight or a doorstop, ie. as good as a brick.

Having a multi-touch screen ipod + wifi device with a near-decent browser that people are developing iphone specific apps on... = not exactly useless.

"Insults for a iPhone" would have been a better contest.

Facebook = the new AOL

Second thought:

What about an app that makes a vCard for all your "social network" contacts and adds the appropriate information, combining where appropriate, and keeps a set of their most recent headshot picture of them?

Why stop with Facebook?

What about for a pricing scheme at $1 per 10 contacts?

$50 is alot of internet money.

Google Reader is not new. Google offline reader is now new. It's just better than most.

1. Why did they choose the market they did? While the ultra rich can afford anything, this seems like a classic 'sony' style marketing blunder.

If Apple indeed does announce a similar 'touch' product that costs less but is more accessible, programmable, and like-able, will this be the PS3 to the seemingly unstoppable Wii?

[I know it's alot of "if" style probability, but what the hay, it's late and i just kicked out a post about a BLT. If I can write about a delicious BLT with avocado at night, anything is possible =) ]

Colin, I've been watching your MeToday pictures and you can visibly tell that you weigh less and that you are happier. =) Congratulation on sticking with it for nearly a whole year.
