Re: How about a $50 check?

I totally agree. That's what we told Ilia too. It's sucks that I spend so much time at home explaining ads on TV or the radio only to have them bombarded at school too.

I'm willing to move anywhere. It's the spouse who is making this difficult. He needs to learn that poor people don't have options. LOL

Well, here everyone loves voting in more money for schools via bonds. But what happens is that Schwarzenegger borrows the money then we never see it. The school had to cut $3M from their operating budget for this year and maybe even more next year.

Oh dear...I have no idea about these people or this TechCrunch thing, but I have agree with Bragg's comment. The name alone is horrendous, but currency based on what I do online it utterly asinine. That's only going to resonate with a handful of people, I think. They'd have to be supremely insecure people, but...whatever.

Very good article. One of my biggest fears being a black woman and having kids, is that if they or I go missing, there will be no massive search for us. Definitely not for me. I'm 36 and dark-skinned. May as well put out a press release for a missing earring. Maybe my kids are telegenic enough to warrant a blurb on the local news, but they are definitely not blond enough to have the national morning shows talking about them.

Saw a little girl the other day who looked like your kidling. So adorable.

I loved this write-up. Sounds a lot like our evening.

I don't recall. But they have a number of other fun sides, including a jalapeno slaw that looked pretty amazing.

Nice. I had no idea it was there either. Do they serve regular potato fries?

Oh, definitely! I was so proud of her. I just wish we could go swimming everyday again. I don't want her to forget or get panicky again.

I'm very pleased that the chances of me having eaten this are slim to none.

ROFL Damn. I could have written that about a former coworker, but mine's a female.

Re: This photograph basically sums up how the (racist) media regards not just Latinos but particularly Puerto Ricans

faboomama — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:23:53 -0000

I'd say it's Latinos in general. That's just based on what I hear from people who, when they learn I live in a Latino neighborhood, then say derogatory things to me. Sometimes, I'll lie and say that I'm from some Central American country or Puerto Rican just to see them stumble over their racists selves.

Hi shpilk! How are you? Too funny that you haven't watched the movie yet. It is very different, yet very similar to the book. It's strange to see what was changed, but it still manages to make sense. Usually when there's changes to the screenplay adaption, there's bits left out, this is just a entire rewrite of the novel. The movie is "inspired by", if that makes any sense.

Re: My self-serving thoughts on Facebook acquiring FriendFeed

empoprises — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:44:47 -0000

I think the *why* helps to explain what will happen next, and unfortunately, our existing FriendFeed content doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Facebook didn't pay $50 million to make FriendFeed better; they paid $50 million to make Facebook better. Sadly, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't care about your wonderful content that you've posted to FriendFeed (or the junk that I've posted), and since Zuckerberg''s paying the salaries of Bret et al, they won't care either.

I've elaborated on my thoughts in my post FaceFeed - Facebook acquired FriendFeed, FriendFeed is a failure, and garage dreamers should wake up.

Re: My self-serving thoughts on Facebook acquiring FriendFeed

faboomama — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:15:19 -0000

I don't care *why* it was done. All I want is to know *right now* what happens to my content. That's it. I think something like this, we should be told what happens with our comments and native FF posts, the discussions that have occurred within those posts, etc. so that we can back up or find someway to kill the blog entries that were created using FriendFeed's 'share' function if that information is to disappear.

FWIW, there are a lot of Turks on FriendFeed. I'm sure they'd be happy to give you tips.

Thank you. Now, we just need to figure out how to celebrate.

Re: But I don’t have an iPhone

faboomama — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 14:07:47 -0000

The thing with the iPhone apps, is that most of the useful ones people pay for are already built into the Instinct. The only app I've seen that would be useful for me is the Nike+ system or something comparable. Take turn-by-turn navigation & GPS. That's already in the Instinct. It would be great if I could plug my phone into MapMyFitness or Runner's World and have it read my mileage and route taken.

Re: Are sponsorships to conferences to be expected now?

Ah, that is very true.

Re: Are sponsorships to conferences to be expected now?

faboomama — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:42:57 -0000

Mary, you just may be on to something. But they'd probably ask for a sponsorship to go to that course too!

Re: Are sponsorships to conferences to be expected now?

Companies send people to conferences. In my experience, my friends who have had sponsorships from web-based companies or special-interests groups to attend conferences. It would be like my local hardware store sending me to a conference on home supplies. In some cases it's a great fit. The attendee is professional, not only getting something out of the conference, but making sure not to damage the brand of the company paying the bills.
