I'm wondering how you got the graphic in your FF post. I'm a newby and want to be able to do that trick. - Chris Herbert
Chris, at the top it says "Post". One of the options is photos, which works for any graphic on your computer. I had taken a quick screenshot to the desktop and grabbed it. - Louis Gray

“I have a good friend who is a gun enthusiast and who comes from an entire family of gun enthusiasts. However, his father will tell you that his home defense weapon of choice is an axe. Why? Because: "You can run out of bullets, but you never run out of axe."”

it's why my Zombie survival guide recommends a katana and a shaolin spade as two essential weapons should the undead come a-callin'. - alphaxion

I believe I'm married to this friend of yours. Except his father opts for gun + ax. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

It's the most awesome disclaimer I've seen. EVER. Heather: That is AWESOME. - Mona N.

She's kinda committing herself to that "pattern" for the rest of her life - Chris Rivait

Cool... Battlestar Galactica, here we come! - Jeanette Martinez
at least their anger wont get the better of them in the heat of the moment, but I hate anything that implies the use of military force against uncooperative humans. Ennemi combattants, maybe, but humans who just happen to be uncooperative? --shudder-- - Joelle Nebbe
These things kinda freak me out. - April Buchheit
The coming robo-apocalypse is kind of spooky in a twilight zone kind of way, but what really worries me is the ongoing destruction of civil liberties that will "justify" the release of the robo-hounds in the name of "protecting" us from terrorists, communists, etc. - Keith Pelczarski

The scene with the mayor was so funny it was almost sad. - Bret Taylor
My favorite was the guy who had tattoos of his topless ex-wife, the mistress he cheated on her with, another girlfriend, and some other woman that he didn't explain on camera. You also have to love the guy from the Alaska Independence Party who doesn't like the lower 48 telling Alaska what to do. I guess he doesn't want all the federal subsidies that we lower 48 tyrants keep imposing on him. - Keith Pelczarski
This piece bugged me. I guess I shouldn't expect even-handed views from what is essentially a comedy sketch but there was a palpable underlying current of anger in it. Sarah Palin makes me want to spit nails but even I thought it was a bit mean. - Carla Thompson

“Paul is testing FriendFeed's Facebook status import http://friendfeed.com/settings....”

Hey this is good - I was wondering what FF did (it seemed to be nothing) when I added my Facebook account. - Chu Yeow
awesome - so looking forward to when we can bring in our friends status' - Zee.
Chu, the Facebook app publishes your FriendFeed to your fb mini-feed. It also finds your fb friends on FriendFeed and adds a FriendFeed "box" to your profile. Unfortunately the Facebook API doesn't provide access to any of your feeds, so the process for importing feeds from fb is completely separate. - Paul Buchheit
Hey Paul, thanks for explaining that. I may have worded my comment wrongly though - I was referring to importing Facebook as a feed into FriendFeed. Previously, I've never seen FriendFeed post anything from Facebook onto FriendFeed, but now it does (nicely done too!). - Chu Yeow
There's *so* much more FriendFeed could do with Facebook. Glad to see a step in the right direction. Would love to see events, pages one becomes a fan of, groups one joins, changes in relationship status, likes, dislikes, etc. - Jesse Stay
Jesse: It'll be a lot easier to manage / organize on FriendFeed than Facebook. - just saying! - Mona N.
Mona, I agree, which is why I'd love to see FriendFeed bring more of the Facebook news feed items to a public view. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
Don't you know people at Facebook? I don't understand why they keep overloading all their pages with scripts (our browsers can't keep up!) and how we have to hunt and peck for everything. They don't even have privacy options for messaging and they're thinking of venturing to music and enterprise? That is so not ok. Where are their priorities? :( Oops, I just hijacked the thread. Bottomline: FriendFeed ftw! - Mona N.
Mona, I know people at Facebook as much as Louis Gray knows people at FriendFeed ;-) I'm just saying FriendFeed could provide more information through the Facebook API than what they're already doing. - Jesse Stay via twhirl
I presume this won't cause an echo, if i post at Facebook, feed it here, then aggregate back into my Mini-feed via the Friendfeed Facebook app? - John Lam
My apologies Jesse -- I thought you had the 'in' over there and hoping you'd let them know what the 'little' people are thinking. :) Never hurts to ask! - Mona N.
@John, we should have safeguards against the "infinite echo" - let us know if you observe any problems. - Bret Taylor
yeah!! FB integration time! - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
No wonder I start seeing FB status messages from my friends now. Nice! - Winston Teo

Awesome commercial I just saw while watching the NE/SD game. Polamalu is my hero. - Benjamin Golub via Bookmarklet
Yeah, that's a great ad. I'm glad they're using 2 good guys this time instead of a guy like Merriman. - Jason Carreira
I just saw that one. That was awesome, to the point where I stopped everything to watch it. - Cyndy

How I would love to see that happen for real! - Dave Pook
it's not for real? - Zee.
Oh yes... one's McJob is to pay off one's baby dad's hookers tab. One wouldn't mind so much if one got a bit of royal saber without having to get royally ripped of one's tits. A queen's gots to get paid - Johnny Worthington
There's a Burger King joke in there somewhere..... - abacab
think John hit the nail on the head with Royale with Cheese... :) - Zee.
Not sure she would like that as our Queen is German! - Dave Pook
@Dave: Very true. In fact, the German Kaiser was Queen Victoria's eldest Grandson. - Roberto Bonini
i showed this to someone on another social network earlier - and their response was: "uh, this is quite common. When I worked at Hardee's, we had old people on staff specifically for morning shifts so they could chat with" - Zee.

Very interesting. Anyone know the original source of the image? - Mike Doeff

None of them use the Bell logo anymore, though. Not even Cincinnati Bell. (which isn't even on the diagram as an independent player.) - Alex Power

Fitbit - Automatically Track Your Fitness and Sleep
September 9 at 8:54 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
This looks really cool. Now if only it could track what I'm eating... - Paul Buchheit via Bookmarklet
I do have something that tracks what I eat -- my wife :) - Aviv
very cool! I dunno about the sleep function, though... - Zach Landes
Lusting. Next year: GPS version? - Kevin Fox
The sleep tracking is especially interesting to me, assuming it's accurate. - Paul Buchheit
That's what she said! WOOOOOO! - Outsanity
+1 Paul - Zee.
Assuming its a solid product, the software could make or break its widespread adoption - Zach Landes
Hmm, I was looking for something like this last year, only I wanted it to track my temperature. Does not look like this will do that. looks more like a motion detector. I wonder if it would register my office job as sleep ;) - Clare Dibble
The temperature tracking one is slightly more uncomfortable to "wear" ;) - Paul Buchheit
Kevin: you want it to track lusting or are you lusting after it? - WorldofHiglet
Anyone think Nike's going quickly incorporate a similar feature set in their Nike+ line? It wouldn't take too much evolve the product into a fitbit competitor or hell, just buy em'. - Steve Sebestyen via twhirl
Plus, according to Viz (that great British comic of high taste and decency), the most sweary word in the world is 'fitbin' - and this is a little too close to that. Imagine the embarrassment when they find out! :) - WorldofHiglet
But, doesnt the new iPod nano have a motion sensor...? And wouldn't I get more exercise hip-hopping up and down to those tunes? - Indio Apache via twhirl
Hmm... tying this thing to my wrist? Sounds like that could be uncomfortable and might disrupt my sleep :o - Adam Lasnik
This is just the beginning of a host of sensor based apps that we'll see, particularly in the health sector. Look for trends that will end up placing some of these sensors in handsets. - Dean Terry
http://www.axonlabs.com/ - cool sounding sleep sensors and software - Deva Hazarika
I'm really interested in the sleep tracking. I know that I wake up *a lot* in my sleep but I'd love some real data. - Benjamin Golub
Social networking data around fitness will create some healthy competition. :-) - Nenad Nikolic via twhirl
I hate myself just a little for how badly I want this thing. - Alessandra Novak
the hell with that thing. What you want is Alex Chiu's Immortality Rings. This dohickey is gonna just take up valuable finger real-estate. Damn, do I have to tell you people everything? http://alexchiu.com/ - john conroy
gimmick only, says me - Gregory Lent
Too bad I sleep in the nude. ... TMI? - Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry
I really wonder about the sleep tracking. If you move while you're sleeping, it doesn't mean you're awake. You could also wake up and just lie there staring at the ceiling. - Chris White

@Dave, that's if Dell doesn't try to patent outerspace data barges as they did cloud computing. - Louis Gray
