How many Subways? Those things are popping up everywhere I turn around. If there isn't one in my garage when I get home I'll be surprised.

Adobe Blows! — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 12:51:14 -0000

I spend big money on CS4 only to find out there are many bugs in PS and it produces kernel panics on my G5. After some online research, it turns out this is a known issue that Adobe fails to address. What do they do? CS5 and they want more big money. The folks at Adobe suck cock!

Cool to see my idea got explored a bit! Yeah, as I was thinking about it more after posting that message on twitter, I realized that mapping contact's names in email to their twitter handles would be the sticking point.

Projects like Gist are a step in that direction, and as open identity gets more people closer to a plaxo-like synced contact experience, then it will get easier I suppose.

Thanks for thinking about it though!

This is a great piece of work, both as graphic design and information architecture. I would like to see you do this for Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, Salesforce, even Google. Hey, I would like to have one of these for my own company LeveragePoint and the domain of customer value management.

Liked the information about CellLink, thought all Bluetooth phones could do that. Would have liked more information about synchronizing with contacts in the cell phone.

Hi Ivan — nope, neither Flickr's "Explore" (Gallery) nor email made it in. You can see higher-res versions here:

Yeah, we had to do the same many years ago to Brutus, our pet Boxer. Terrible pain for the family. Hard to explain to someone who doesn't have a pet, though pet is hardly the word.

Nice work, here.

Not being picky, but have you included Gallery in here (and email) Hard to see on my miserable laptop.

Thanks Perry, for your kind words. :-) We too have our own 'special project' dog (Kirby, a 12+ year old German Shepherd) that we found on the street almost 4 years ago. He's enriched our lives in ways we never would've imagined. I'm still sorry that we couldn't help this poor pit, but I too hope her story might inspire some. Thanks again.

Bryce,
I understand your angst. My wife & I had a similar experience but with a notably happier ending. Lisa (the aforementioned wife) has a shop in Thornville, Ohio and one day 2 summers ago a dog just ran in and looked around like it had been invited. She was obviously a stray so my wife put a rope on her and brought her home.
We took her to the vet and had her shots, etc. and tried to adopt her out 3 times but each time she came back. All said she was sweet but just too high maintenance.
It is a few years later and Odie is happily a part of our family. We have had dogs for the 19 years we have been married and this is the first one that actually plays with the kids. She is in fact high maintenance but the sweetest thing you could ever want.
For the record, I was not in favor of keeping Odie but would not trade her now.
Thanks for sharing this and hopefully others will take action as a result!

Thanks for dropping by, Jason! I meant it -- really well-considered little widget that leverages social incentives well. I'd be interested to hear how it performs for the site over time.

Now, Aida—THIS is how you choose to use your stay-cation? Frequenting the lonely nether-reaches of the internet? Shame on you. :-)
