I agree with Lelia's comment. It reminds me of when everyone starting to realize Man vs Wild was staged and not as much about 'survival' as originally expected. I thought to myself a) did you really think it was? and b) I think the point is to be entertaining!
To echo Scrivs, don't hate the player--hate the game.
meme: Richard Dawkins’s 1976 coinage, on the analogy to gene (with a little aid from mime and mimic), for a cultural copying unit, such as the word or melody that is mimicked by others.
Speed of typing? I think I type faster on the pearl... less keys to move around to once you memorize the layout. For example 'Re' for 'Reams' is the same key pressed twice... pretty quick!
The Pearl fits so wonderfully in my pocket... perfect size, great phone. My favorite by far.
I'm just upset about the process that the team used (only sold online). So anyone out there in the world could buy them and sell the back at top dollar.
So, to answer the question, no, I won't buy tickets.
I would've preferred the Indians... oh well...
I doubt many did, but the Colorado Rockies here are playing so I definitely tried...
...but the ticket seller sucked. I'm so mad. If you know anything about the internet you could tell they were unprepared for the World Series but lied all about it.
So did anyone else try? Have any luck?
I'm kinda glad they're out there. Its funny I'd find an old note and want to respond.. then scroll down realizing I did a few months ago.
But having 'favorite instant messenger' come up in search results is great because it helped me download a new Windows client today.
I'm down...
Your loss.. it's a lot of fun. I just lost on the first shot (8 ball is a bitch).
I bet he has a piece of paper out on his monitor... lining up those shots. ;)
Doesn't MySpace have more pageviews because it takes about 4 pages just to accept a friend request?
"Welcome to the Devolution" hehe, but now it just says "business, internet, commentary and more"
Feel free to defend your family with a candle stick or a mop if you want but do not tell me what I can and cannot do.
Does anyone use security systems anymore?
Does anyone read the news on their phone? I just got into the habit of checking it while idle (waiting for my computer to start up, waiting in the elevator, etc.) I feel like this quick-bite news could become a big deal...
@alisa: Truth be told there are people who want to build niche blogs, put ads on them, make some money, then flip them for profit. They just need people who can write about those topics...
And sure, there are companies that need people who can write simply to keep content fresh and people coming back.
So, there are definitely some options out there. :)
I sit down with the WSJ every morning (or try to at least). I don't read every article but I do skim, catch the headlines and pick one or two to read.
I find out the rest of my news just from talking to people...
Well this is an interesting way to "get out there." Obviously most people stick to their own blogs but you could always approach bloggers and group blogs that you admire, show them you work and see what they say.
My friend Jim runs a site called Bloggers For Hire. I'm sure he could find some blogs for you to work on.
I like to finish whatever wasn't done the day before then get to email.
Well, it's reassuring to see I'm not alone with my Tahoma thing!
I'm there with you, too.
For work stuff though (public auditor) Times in Word and Arial in Excel make the most sense.
So it's not merely a blatant, self-promotion popularity competition.
Not until the voting begins at least... ;)
My biggest one has been limiting my commute by moving closer to work (I'm required to drive so no, I can't take the bus).
I save money on gas maintenance, and personal time (time I could be making more money, right?).
DreamHost and ASmallOrange are both great.
A glorified social network, social bookmarker, forum and feed aggregator all rolled into one snarky package. ;)
All set. :)
Given there are more and more things to do these days nobody seems to have time. We're all super busy, right?
So how do you make sure you accomplish the things you really want to do every day without getting sidetracked?
I just blogged about picking five daily priorities that I have to do every day:
What would your five be? Do you do anything to make sure you're "on track" with what you really want to be spending your time on?
Sapphire and tonic has become a new favorite.
A screwdriver at home is always nice, too.
This morning 'Ads of the World' has like 12 of the top 14 recently posted entries. Can we limit the entries page to show unique members content perhaps?
I haven't started one yet but it'd be for the reasons already mentioned:
Good question, the better one is to the people who have: are you still doing it for the same reason(s)?
Easy, Timbo.
@jensized: We'll be sure to have pictures.
@JoeLencioni: I'm thinking just a simple 'HELLO My Name Is..' tag will suit. If they don't get it then, well, I don't care. ;)
@vickysecret: Jessica Rabbit... nice, I've yet to see that.
@bloglily: Some people did a Facebook group at CU last year called 'Waldo on the Hill'. There were dozens of waldos all over campus and Boulder, it was hilarious.
..until the 238th time someone said "I found him!"
My girlfriend and I will be going as Pam and Jim from The Office
If I'm browsing /notes/ and select 'go to personal community' I would like to show up at the personal/notes/ page.
If I want to go to the community home I figure I can get to that from the links in the footer.
Digg's purpose is to be ignored
Hahaha, well put...

Wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for Scrivs' twits.
