IPhone Apps: Amazon iPhone App Lets You Buy Anything You Take a Picture Of
Wednesday at 1:45 pm - via Bookmarklet - Link
Today, Amazon launched an iPhone app that'll exist solely to make buying crap easier. Its killer, buy-more-crap feature? Take a picture of anything, and Amazon'll shoot you the product page to waste money on it. - Derrick via Bookmarklet
This app + 1-click = Derrick spending too much loot. - Derrick
So, I could buy that cabana boy I've always wanted? - Yolanda

Derrick wonders why Kaia speaks of herself in the third person. - Derrick
Ok, photo of a book sent to Amazon, still waiting. Photo of same book sent to SnapTell, result in a few seconds. - brian alexander gray via twhirl
Kaia sent a photo of Kiwi Gummies, results in about 5 minutes. Kaia believes speaking in the third person makes the day more enjoyable. - Orphan Spinster Librarian

“Wondering why I lost subscribers who I actually liked a lot. Was it something I said? Is it me? Can I make it up to you? Well...can we at least be friends???”
Tuesday at 7:42 pm - Link
What'd you do, David? :) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Not sure, but a handful of awesome people have unsubscribed from me. Did I fall into the noise category? - David Cook
If I lose subscribers, I've discovered that it's because a) I'm noisy b) I said something offensive to someone or c) I don't talk enough. Usually about stuff "they" are interested in. I don't really pay attention to who subs to me anymore. It's their choice. I shouldn't hold it against them if they decide I no longer hold their interest. - Helen Sventitsky
Still subbed to you, David. You can't scare me off. :) - Derrick
I've had people that I KNOW I was subscribed to, fall off of my subscriptions, so that I had to re-sub to them. Don't know exactly why, but I also know I'm not the only one to have this happen. Also, make sure you brushed your teeth and put on deodorant... not hinting at anything, it's just always good to check. :-) - Ladybug Heather
Ha ha Heather. Thanks. Maybe I should start wearing Axe. That seems to work in the commercials. - David Cook
Axe works in real life, too :p - Matt Musgrave
Some HATE Axe. I don't even know how you guys notice when you lose followers. I guess I should pay attention. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Nice, thanks Derrick. Helen, I probably shouldn't care as much as I do, but I really like a lot of you. There are some great people here and you have all added real value to my life and like a "real-life" friend, I wouldn't want to piss you off. Oh well. - David Cook
Rah, for the most part, I don't pay any attention at all, it just a handful of specific people I'm talking about. - David Cook
how do u know? - Zee.
How did you find out they had left you? - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
By commenting or liking something they posted and rolling the mouse over their name. - David Cook
Make sure you wear clean drawz, too. - Orphan Spinster Librarian
David, you tend to be such a nice person I can't imagine anyone unsubscribing from you on purpose. :-) - Jill, Superhero Librarian
It could be an error or on purpose - the only way to know for sure is to ask those people. But I wouldn't worry about it overly - you can see from these comments that people like what you post/comment/like! - WorldofHiglet
It's their loss, yes? - Joy-Mari Cloete
Thanks everyone. You're awesome! =D - David Cook
I would never un sub to you, I know I don't "post" stuff much, I mostly comment. But commenting on an earlier comment here, AXE is awesome. It may be cheap but it smells spiffy and it works!! Good man smell stuff is my ultimate weakness..love a good smelling man!! I still love you...forget the others!! :o) - Sheryl
Some folks just can't handle many subscriptions or they are too lazy to hide. There are lots of active/cool people I haven't subbed back to because I see their stuff all the time anyway. When you're subbed to 750+ people, you have to choose wisely - plus I don't like having to unsub later on. (BTW, I'm still subbed to you). - Shey
Thanks Sheryl and Shey. For the record, I would feel the same way if anyone who I am subbed to, who posted a comment above, unsubbed from me too. I'm definitely feeling the love from you all. - David Cook

In my backayard
Sunday at 2:16 pm - via mail2ff - Link
I hate living in apartments. It is so great back at my paternal home where I have a verandah, a backyard; everything. - Parth Awasthi
This is my first backyard in over 20 years, since I was kid. It's nice and a lot of work, but I'm so content having it. I often do yoga stretches back there and it's very nice considering it was nothing but dirt when we moved in almost 2 years ago. - Anika Malone
ok, first glance....i thought that was cannabis and i was going to compliment you on your bravery.... :-) - Live4SoccerVacations
Yeah, when we first moved in, that was the first thing half our friends suggested I grow, like that was going to happen. You're seeing bamboo and cape honeysuckle (tecoma) behind me. - Anika Malone

i love backyards...and i hate apartments too. <sigh> - .LAG
Nice work, AM! wanna do my back yard? - Live4SoccerVacations
Sure, L4S. I love gardening. I just don't like the upkeep part. Gardening is one of the best things about living in SoCal. I can grow almost anything, as long as I get the timing down right. It's November and my tomato plants have flower buds! - Anika Malone
ahh i miss the sun:) - Ekin Acar
you are a beautiful woman Anika :) - V for Veselka
I second Ekin's statement. Everything has turned gray and cold here in Canada. - V for Veselka
Aw, V, thanks! - Anika Malone
How YOU doin'??? - Derrick
Only a few can afford a backyard over here (space issue). And am not one of them. I miss my parent's place back in my home country. <Sigh> - BeeLing
Bee, I think it's the same here. We lucked out with this place. Derrick, I'm freezing! It's 59 degrees! WTF is up with that? Hope you're feeling better. - Anika Malone
i'm so okay with not having a yard. actually, i wouldn't mind the one i have if it came with a fence. my neighbors are neighborly in a bad way considering that i'm utterly anti-social. they're all very much "aw, sweetie, you need a man to help you with this house" types who like to have conversations and shit. - tiffany
My yard isn't big enough (roughly 40 acres in the middle of nowhere but most of it is horse pasture). I've got to figure out where to put more garden in the spring. It is so great still having fresh vegetables in the winter. I once had 117 acres. It was wonderful until the area started growing and I was on a gravel road between two farm to market roads. I could use some of your bamboo to hold up the sheets I cover the garden with when it drops to freezing at night. - Internet Strategist
<major eyeroll @ Internet Strategist> :) The part of my garden for actually plantable is 22 feet x 39 feet. I have over 270 plants in my back yard alone; representing 80 different things and that includes a ton of veggies and fruits. - Anika Malone
Anika, that's nice :-) My mom's a major greenthumb and our 1-acre property (down from 25 acres due to the rapid expansion of Bangalore urban limits, aka "development") is full of banana, mango, coconut, rose-apple, sapodilla, pear-apple, pomegranate, custard apple, passion fruit, tapioca, jackfruit, papaya, teak trees, Flame-of-the-forest trees and several others. Plus many, many flowering plants and vegetables too! Come visit! http://flickr.com/photos/debsi... - Siddharth Deb
Siddharth, that is very nice. So sad the city is taking your property. - Anika Malone
Thanks! Actually we had to sell most of our property to a private developer, because as our farm came within the urban zone, the City itself could've tried to purchase our land to develop into plots to build houses. However, they pay much less than a private developer would, so we chose to sell to the latter.That didn't work out too well for us either, because we got shafted on the deal (the developer knew that a major new highway project was coming up nearby, and that increased property values in our area) - Siddharth Deb
