olcaytooo'mm!! : ) - Tuğçe Cengiz
Benim zamanımda hiç yoktu böyle kıyafetler oyuncaklar...Zar zor ekşın figürleri vardı, çok özenirdim...Kendi imkanlarımızla ceday olduk biz bir Tür kuşağı. Yıllar sonra acısını çıkarıyorum, ama içimden de mırıldanıyorum "Daha önceleri neredeydiniz?"... - Olcayto Cengiz
Ya ya aynı eziklikten bende de var. Bir kere Star Wars'un ilk bölümü bizim sinemalarda yıllar sonra vizyona girmişti. Daha dün gibi hatırlıyorum, Süreyya Sineması'nda babamla gitmiştik. Bu kıyafetler falan hak getire... Eşimin bana 35. yaş hediyelerinden biri Darth Wader kumbara olmuştu. Para atınca veya düğmesine basınca "Impressive, most impressive, but you are not a jedi yet!" diyor. Şimdi oğlumuz 17 aylık, Darth Wader'ı ve Dark Side'ı biliyor, hayranlıkla korku arasında bir ilişkisi var "ustasıyla"... - Cem ARGUN

"On the night Barack Obama was elected President, Melissa, Nikki and I went searching for a place to celebrate. We found it in two spontaneous parties in the middle of the street on St. Mark's in New York. Hundreds of happy people singing, dancing, and feeling optimistic for our country's future." - Steve Isaacs via Bookmarklet
I love that people have posted these videos. I was in London for the election. Though that was a unique experience for me, I'm a bit bummed that I missed the spontaneous eruption of a people freed from 8 years of misery. - Spidra Webster

That wasn't the point that I was trying to make, and I knew that someone would go there. But whatever. And for the record, Bush made me damn ashamed to admit that I'm an American and it's about damn time that the country chose the right guy. It took us 8 years, but we finally got here. - ::Kristen::
I've never been ashamed to admit I am an American, no matter who was currently in office. And, quite often, America shows its true beauty and strength in times of crisis, such as when we elect a President so deeply entrenched in political favors and scandals. - Charles LePage
Charles - I won't take the conservative bait, because frankly it sounds hilarious. Obama entrenched in "favors and scandals?" Dream on buddy. - Steve Isaacs

Tron (arcade game)
Tron (arcade game)
Monday at 2:45 pm - en.wikipedia.org - Link
"Tron is a coin-operated arcade video game manufactured and distributed by Bally Midway in 1982. It is based on the Walt Disney Productions motion picture Tron released in the same year. Events from this science fiction film were the inspirations for four subgames of which the game consists. It features some characters and equipment known from the film, eg the Light Cycles, battle tanks, the Input/Output Tower. The game earned more than the film's initial release[2]. In 1983, Midway released the sequel arcade game Discs of Tron, which was inspired by the disc throwing combat sequence of the film. Another sequel followed in 2003 with the computer game Tron 2.0. On January 10, 2008 the game was released for Xbox Live Arcade." - Steve Isaacs via Bookmarklet

Cannot like this one enough. TRON was, by far, my favorite arcade game and I played it endlessly.

"CHAPTER ONE is set against a backdrop of London, 1910, twelve years after the failed Martian invasion and nine years since England put a man upon the moon. In the bowels of the British Museum, Carnacki the ghost-finder is plagued by visions of a shadowy occult order who are attempting to create something called a Moonchild, while on London's dockside the most notorious serial murderer of the previous century has returned to carry on his grisly trade. Working for Mycroft Holmes' British Intelligence alongside a rejuvenated Allan Quartermain, the reformed thief Anthony Raffles and the eternal warrior Orlando, Miss Murray is drawn into a brutal opera acted out upon the waterfront by players that include the furiously angry Pirate Jenny and the charismatic butcher known as Mac the Knife. This one is not to be missed! " - RAPatton
"CHAPTER TWO takes place almost sixty years later in the psychedelic daze of Swinging London during 1968, a place where Tadukic Acid Diethylamide 26 is the drug of choice, and where different underworlds are starting to overlap dangerously to an accompaniment of sit-ins and sitars. The vicious gangster bosses of London's East End find themselves brought into contact with a counter-culture underground of mystical and medicated flower-children, or amoral pop-stars on the edge of psychological disintegration and developing a taste for Satanism. Alerted to a threat concerning the same magic order that she and her colleagues were investigating during 1910, a thoroughly modern Mina Murray and her dwindling league of comrades attempt to navigate the perilous rapids of London's hippy and criminal subculture, as well as the twilight world of its occultists. Starting to buckle from the pressures of the twentieth century and the weight of their own endless lives, Mina and her companions must nevertheless prevent the ma - RAPatton
"In CHAPTER THREE, the narrative draws to its cataclysmic close in London 2008. The magical child whose ominous coming has been foretold for the past hundred years has now been born and has grown up to claim his dreadful heritage. His promised aeon of unending terror can commence, the world can now be ended starting with North London, and there is no League, extraordinary or otherwise, that now stands in his way. The bitter, intractable war of attrition in Q'umar crawls bloodily to its fifth year, away in Kashmir a Sikh terrorist with a now-nuclear-armed submarine wages a holy war against Islam that might push the whole world into atomic holocaust, and in a London mental institution there's a patient who insists that she has all the answers.

“So, peeing in the shower? Acceptable or repulsive?”
Monday at 10:09 am - Link
Acceptable, the pee goes down the same drain the toliet does. And if you can aim right to the drain then you're all good. I'm a chick and I can aim it in the drain!!!! - Sheryl
id say acceptable because its gone in seconds. peeing in the bath on the other hand is gross - Steph Pickett
if alone, acceptable. if not alone, it's better to hold off or wait until they aren't looking. and i agree with steph: peeing in the bath is gross. - Morgan Haley
I second Morgan's comment. Sharing a shower....ewww. But showering alone, no issue. - Still Just Katie
If you're the only one living there, then go right ahead. - Morton Fox
Totally acceptable. It's water. It'll all flush away anyway. - James Ferguson
Acceptable and a major part of my shower. - Colby Olson
Colby: peeing is a major part of your showering experience huh? funky! - Morgan Haley
In your own shower & alone, acceptable. In someone else's shower, however, it's like putting your feet on the furniture: you wait until you see the host do it, or you just don't get caught being a rude guest. Aside to @sheryl: I knew a gal in high school who could write her name in the snow. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
We are all aware that urine is sterile, right? - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
@Tina I love you. And yea, it's perfectly acceptable. The pee goes down the drain and doesn't hurt you or anyone. Plus, it's a common reaction to being submerged in hot water. But peeing in a bath is (I would think obviously) not acceptable. - Mattie Kenny
Go, Tina! that's right. - Mandy
I pee in the shower and also use that untapped resource....the sink. Kidding aside I recently changed my morning routine to include a shower pee instead going to the toilet. Surely that's going to save me a fortune. - Toby Graham
@tina yup.. the only thing with it is the smell. - alphaxion
Just think. The water you're *drinking* right now might have been somebody's urine. - Victor Ganata
Alphaxion, that smell is just an indicator that you need to be drinking more water =D - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
@victor not only that, but the water you are drinking has been through countless other animals kidneys before it reached your lips, since all water is recycled on Earth :) - alphaxion
Ok, what about this topic makes it the first thread in the history of the internet to be mostly girls posting? (or at least internet-girls) - Matthew DeVries
Acceptable as long as you don't tell anyone. Repulsive, if you tell everyone you pee in the shower. Bottom line: way more information then we need to know about each other. - Paul
Do females do it more often than males? I know it is sterile (for a short time) and all but I still can't bring myself to do it. - Kenton
Um, this post comes right after Tina's post on people deriding dumbness on my screen, I find that hilarious. :) - Steve Craft
What if you are doing dishes in the shower to? - orionstarr

if your partner is in to "water sports", then I guess it would be encouraged to pee on them in the shower and anywhere else you can get away with it. but if they aren't into showers of the golden variety, it's best to keep it pointed at the drain or pee before wet-cuddling. - Morgan Haley

Clarifying: mostly just kidding there. I actually do fear that we will start selling you our water, which would be terrible, because the Great Lakes water only replenishes 0.1% of itself every year via rain/springs/etc. The water that is there is the water the glaciers left us and does not come back when we pipe it to Scottsdale. - Matthew DeVries

“This might sound insane, but... Friendfeed... change your name. After delightedly using FF for quite some time now and recommending it to friends (some who got addicted, others who simply went "huh?!"), I've come to feel the service is really NOT ABOUT FRIENDS.”
Sunday at 4:25 pm - Link
Well, I personally use FF primarily to keep up with all the content my *friends* post on the web. So a -1 one from me ;-) - Horst Gutmann via IM
Maybe it's just how you're [not] using the service. I consider about 85% of the people I'm subscribed to as friends and would offer them a sofa to sleep on if they needed it. - Akiva Moskovitz
Is this going to turn into a duplicate of the "logo looks unprofessional" thread? - Andy Bakun
You know Apple, Inc. doesn't really sell apples, right? - Mark Trapp
I'm actually *friends* with fewer than 10% of the people I'm subscribed to/from here. I bet for Louis Gray, it's more like 1%. People subscribe to people they find *interesting*; that's why the no-reciprocity-required "friend" system of FF rocks. But the name is a misnomer, and it confuses & upsets potential FF'ers. Several of my real friends have tried but quit FF because "none of my friends are on it!" - Adam Lasnik
The word "friends" says it's about people. "InterestingFeed" doesn't seem to have the same kind of socialness to it. - Andy Bakun
When I explained to one of them, no, no, it's not like Facebook, it's not "keeping in touch" with people, it's finding cool and fun and useful stuff from *people you find interesting*, then she got it (and stuck with FF). "FRIENDfeed" creates unrealistic and, IMHO, plain inaccurate expectations. Dunno what you should rename FF to, but I seriously think you *should* rename it. And you know what? The name (with its expectation) initially really frustrated me, too. - Adam Lasnik
I tried to use facebook but there are very few faces and even fewer books. What about facefeed or feedspace? - Andy Bakun
heh, damn, you all are too fast! FF either needs bigger text blocks for those of us who have more to say on a subject, or some of us (ahem, me) need to learn to be more succinct :P. - Adam Lasnik
I'm with Akiva. All these folks who post interesting stuff are now officially my "friends". What's in a name, anwyays? - Laura Norvig
Akiva, that's fascinating (that you're actually close with so many people on here). Maybe I'm just too detached. But -- particularly when trying to get non-geek friends into FF -- I have seriously encountered this problem repeatedly. One of them even commented that "I don't want online friends. I have enough real friends" and while that came across as a bit brusque, I can understand her point. - Adam Lasnik
we are all friends here - tony vaio
I've been mildly teasing a friend of mine about how lame his Facebook updates are ( http://friendfeed.com/mutantne... ). The stuff on FF is much more interesting, no matter what the name is. Do sump pump updates really draw people into Facebook? - Andy Bakun
You know, I've been on Facebook and they have more than faces there. I've seen photos of entire people. They should change their name. - Akiva Moskovitz
Everyone on here is my Friend. They give me their opinions on stuff and answer my questions. It is a 'Friend' feed. Besides, this conversation is a waste of time. They won't change their name because already to many people know it by the name - Chacha
I agree with Horst. Content is King. It is impossible though, not to interact, share and connect with the friendly people here at FriendFeed. Mark, perhaps Apple Inc sometimes sells lemons? - Chris Loft
I totally agree in spirit... Facebook should be Friendbook and FriendFeed should be PeopleFeed or one of the first names "Simplist". FriendFeed is powerful because you follow ideas and interests, not "friends". I don't consider many people on FF "friends" and that's perfectly fine. - Steve Isaacs
PeopleFeed? Soylent Data is PEOPLE! - Andy Bakun via IM
Consider that, as a participant in FriendFeed, the "friend" is because you are being a friend, not because other people are your friends. Golden rule and all. FF is a publishing and aggregation platform first, a consumption platform second (or these are at least on equal footing). Does FF support lurkers (pure consumption), or would they be better off lurking somewhere else? - Andy Bakun via IM
Bodybook? RandomPeopleWithContentFeed? Neither quite have the same ring to them... - Tyson Key
FiendFeed? ;) - Tyson Key
What about del.icio.us? You can't eat it, so you don't know if it's delicious. Flickr has static pages that don't flicker, too. ;) - Tyson Key
Google doesn't have a gooey center. I want my money back. - John Craft
I think I should have opened with a less radical premise. But I'm disappointed that I either failed in communication or there's a kneejerk ignoring of one of my core points. Outside the geek-o-sphere, people who join FF (from my experience) *find few or no friends here*. Their friends are on Facebook. And, more importantly, in meatspace. They don't want online friends. I would like FF to find a way to compellingly speak to and invite and support these folks to make FF a richer place for all of us. - Adam Lasnik
What about Google? It didn't leave a slimy mess everywhere, last time I used it. In all seriousness, FriendFeed is fine, and it sounds good. - Tyson Key
So then they should get their friends on FF. When I joined Facebook, not many of my friends were on it because it was a new service. Same when I joined Myspace, Twitter, YouTube, Friendster..Your core point is a moot one. - Mattie Kenny
I'm with matsie. Spread the word. Annoyed with kisses from vampires and being poked on facebook? Want a more serious online interaction? Try friendfeed. Use the different services on the internet like you always have, but have everything show up in one easy to find and navigable place. There's a whole internet out there, friendfeed will help you find it, and you'll help others find it. - Andy Bakun via IM
My. Friends. Are. Not. Geeks! At least not the ones I'm emphasizing here. They don't have 42 accounts online, a Flickr, a Posterous, a Whazhoodat etc. etc. etc. To them, Twitter is something a bird does. I want them to understand that there's interesting stuff to see, learn, talk about here, without them feeling obligated to sign up for other services, share a ton with strangers, etc. I think I'm fighting SSB (Severe Selection Bias) in this conversation <sigh>. - Adam Lasnik
I don't have anyone on here that is really my friend. I mean I don't feel I connect very strongly with anyone, but I still love friendfeed. I know someday my friends will care about Friendfeed, just like it took time for them to care about Myspace, FaceBook and so on. I think of my self as a pioneer among my friends. I venture into the areas they won't go cause I know one day they will follow and I can tell them about the things that are so new to them. I'm already a native friendfeed user. - Colide81 (James)
Adam, I think you're finding that line between FriendFeed the service and FriendFeed the community. The problem, imho, is that in essence FF has become an enhanced BBS or newsgroup of sorts. The community aspect took off, yet the service itself has almost become secondary to that... (notice for instance how the most popular posts are almost always done manually and not automatic... people almost skip the automatic ones now because the problem of "the noise" was never defeated). - Ňicķ
FriendFeed is a fun place for those who get into it and join the flow of these dispersed strangers who happen to be forming an online community here, but it is, sadly, not a easy life-enhancing service for the uninitiated.... (the real tragedy is that anything you can do on FF you can pretty much do on Facebook.... but not vice versa) - Ňicķ
Okay, so if FF doesn't appeal to people who consider Facebook to be The Internet®, what can be changed to bring them into the fold? Agreed Adam, the stereotypical facebook user doesn't have accounts on different internet sites. In that case, FF doesn't offer them much out of the box. This is, in my mind, not a deficiency with FF. In the same way that a hammer doesn't offer a way to tighten screws, but no one makes claims that they should. Different tools. - Andy Bakun
Okay, many good points here :). Perhaps, as you're suggesting, Andy, I'm trying to nail my friends...er, I mean, pound my square friends into a round role, um, you get my point. Maybe, as much as I enjoy FF, I have to realize that 1) it's not for everyone. 2) my definition of "friends" may be indeed different than others' definition :) - Adam Lasnik
I will agree that if your friends, or anyone, isn't on friendfeed, they are squares (L7, baby), yes. That's what we need: peer pressure. Peer pressure has seemed to work so far for me to get people onto FF, but it is an uphill battle against the likes of facebook (and the facebook sump pump updates). - Andy Bakun
I think it's bad to frame this as a FF vs. FB battle. They're both very different, IMHO, serving not only different people, but different interests. I like them both, and view them as complementary, not substitutional. - Adam Lasnik
I merely have been using FB, and twitter, as wellknown stand-in names for the stereotypical services that compete for mindshare with FF, acknowledging the fact that most people will only use one service/account regularly, and a lot of the people (not all) that are on those two services would actually get significant benefit from switching to FF. - Andy Bakun via IM
Friendfeed is a bit complicaated when you are starting out, I don't think many 'non-geeky' type of people would quickly fall in love with it. - fredbvalani via IM
Sumpbook(TM) - Tyson Key
@Adam If you're friends aren't geeks and they don't use multiple services than FF is pretty useless to them so why are you even pressing this issue? There is absolutely no reason for FF to change it's name. It's a community to aggregate your various feeds and build relationships through conversation on those feeds. You can build a relationship with someone you know IRL or someone new who you have only encountered on the site. Either way you're building relationships, FRIENDSHIPS, if you will. - Mattie Kenny
relationshipfeed sounds like a dating site for lonely, hungry singles. - Andy Bakun via IM
@Andy Which is exactly why it's called Friendfeed. The "friend" connotates a positive relationship built through the service. That's why it's not Enemyfeed or Blockfeed. I don't even understand why we are discussing this. I feel like this is the most ludicrous message left in FF Feedback in a WHILE. - Mattie Kenny
Blockfeed. Nice. I used to hang out on a MUD called Zen, where you could just connect and contemplate the universe, there was never anyone there but you, it was peaceful, and quiet, no one to bother you. - Andy Bakun via IM

FOAF has helped me find people and get to know them. OTOH, when I got past a certain modest number of subscriptions, FOAF became overwhelming. I still have FOAF on mostly because I'm afraid of what I'd miss if I didn't. - Spidra Webster
I'm still using FOAF, not using it seems to defeat the purpose of the object, in my opinion (pretty much for the same reason as Spidra, and I see quite a lot of interesting stuff, thanks to it). - Tyson Key
I have it off, but when you click "Best of Day" in any list FOAFs are included, which is fine with me. - Laura Norvig
