And, to quote Butch and Sundance, "Who ARE those guys???"

That is a common mistake among households with two or more vehicles, and when you have all the facts it's plain as day. The problem then was you had to "wait in line" for one teletype officer to get your information back to you in the order it was received. Then you had to wait to verify the follow-on information, etc. And, God forbid if teletype was down! ;-) Glad it worked out OK for you, despite the ticket - and that the officer took the time to make sure you understood. Most folks have a hard time processing *anything* when they get pulled over, much less something confusing.

The housing market here is still awful unfortunately. :( Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:23:37 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/08/community-hours-trying-something-new-for-random-meetings.html#IDComment32348932 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/08/community-hours-trying-something-new-for-random-meetings.html#IDComment32347692 What a great idea! Not only from the aspect of getting your input but for people to meet peers at the same time. Another incentive to move there...!

I'll have to figure out how to shorten them up... Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:07:01 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/08/basic-twitter-advice-to-companies-shorten-your-tweets.html#IDComment32063615 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/08/basic-twitter-advice-to-companies-shorten-your-tweets.html#IDComment32063534 I *only* use SMS for Twitter, Brightkite, and Facebook. If I have to login to a web site, I don't sign up for it. This only applies to social sites though.

If you are meeting him in public I highly recommend introducing yourself to him. Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:46:04 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/08/doubling-down-and-techstars-for-life.html#IDComment30666459 http://www.HeatherOnTech.com/heather_on_tech/2009/06/longest-poem-in-the-world.html#IDComment26463540 Andrei, Thanks for the info - that's very interesting. I had originally thought it randomly scanned and if it could find a rhyme within a certain amount of time, it would add, otherwise search backwards. I'd assumed a line would be discarded if a rhyme didn't come along. The fact that you've created an orphan database is very interesting and cool - a lot more planning went into that than I thought! It's spectacular and I often check it to see what kinds of things end up there. The great thing to me is that sometimes a very sad tweet is accompanied by a very happy one - just showing the ebb and flow of people all over the world, all the time.

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 13:02:19 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/06/ive-run-out-of-namespace-in-my-brain.html#IDComment24034209 http://tkeller.com/2009/05/27/sync-is-a-holy-grail/#IDComment22428761 I have been using Mesh for quite awhile now, mostly to share files across home and work computers. I absolutely LOVE it and would recommend it to anyone. I've pretty much stopped carrying a USB drive because of Mesh. The best part is I that I don't even have to install Mesh proper on my work machine; I can get to the stuff without having to share it on a folder (my workplace has stringent rules about software installations). Wed, 27 May 2009 15:43:48 +0000 http://tkeller.com/2009/05/27/sync-is-a-holy-grail/#IDComment22428761 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/05/its-all-about-the-faces.html#IDComment22331956 One thing to consider is this: if I follow you on Twitter (or read your blog) based on reputation alone, and you don't have a good picture, how would I recognise you in a crowd? I met several people at Defrag that way - by walking up to them because I had seen their real faces as their avatar. I would be very hesitant to do that based on something that is drawn or animated. At least one of those people recognised me as well, from across the room. And yes, if it were a planned meeting, I would do research to find out what someone looked like, but in a chance meeting it's great to have the real deal.

Fri, 22 May 2009 13:16:44 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/05/the-web-is-working-harder-for-me.html#IDComment22043120 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/05/the-web-is-working-harder-for-me.html#IDComment21980796 Brad, It sounds like some of these tools are getting (and maybe Gist is) to the point where setup consists of entering your name and perhaps your blog URL/social network usernames and that's it. Incredible! I spend almost as much time looking for things related to my interests as I do reading my usual sources of info, and it sounds like I'm going to have to check out Gist to help me with that. Thu, 21 May 2009 15:27:39 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/05/the-web-is-working-harder-for-me.html#IDComment21980796 http://www.heatherontech.com/heather_on_tech/2009/04/new-sport-twunning.html#IDComment20108057 I think it's a great idea to do that - I'm constantly afraid of dropping my phone though (butterfingers), so I will probably not ever do it. I'm supposed to do a half-marathon in October so maybe I'll change my mind by then. I'll watch for your updates and cheer you on - good luck! My goal for races is always "finish"!

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:16:35 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2009/04/high-school-prom-is-just-around-the-corner.html#IDComment20014197 http://www.HeatherOnTech.com/heather_on_tech/2008/08/how-to-wear-bos.html#IDComment18097924 Really? Where did you hear that? The directions included with them don't mention the cord running over the ear, and I've never seen anything where the R and L would display, rather than the logo (Bose). Glad that works for you; it does not for me, as the bowls of my ears are too small for that great big bulbous piece to even go in there, much less rest in them. :) I did try it though - maybe it will work for others as well, thanks for the comment!

Never buy a car and go out of town three days later!

Living in the "Sunshine State" means we can probably try it out! Although I don't own any IKEA stuff...I thought they were supposed to be "inexpensive"? I love Target but avoid Wal-Mart like the plague (too crowded) unless it's online shopping.

I want to run a marathon one day but I can't seem to get past the 10-mile mark. Maybe one day I can do it...my parents ran their first (and only) at the age of 60 so I've got a few years left to train and still be younger than they were. ;-) Wed, 22 Oct 2008 10:31:51 +0000 http://www.feld.com/wp/archives/2008/10/mount-desert-island-marathon.html#IDComment8925113
