Commented on Avoid toxic people
That can be good advice - if you're just centered on what you get out of the relationship. If you're friends with someone for a long time, sometimes being around them isn't all about you - I have a friend...
Favorited Maker's Notebook released into the wild on Boing Boing
Commented on Massachusetts Gov. wants to track cars on state roads with GPS units in each car
Is abolishing the state's gas tax part of his plan? The "pay as you drive" tax is already in effect, as a gasoline tax. If they're having trouble funding the roads, then either they aren't charging enough in the "pay...
Commented on Any hands-on experience with the Airport Extreme?
I had one of the original "UFO" style AE's, and just recently upgraded to a flat one - not because the old one was broken, but because I wanted higher speeds for my newer equipment. General overview: rock solid performance...
Commented on Critical Mass bicyclist knocked over by NYPD
Any mob is a bad mob. I feel bad for this cyclist, but without seeing the whole situation, it is really difficult to say what might have preceded this. They might have his a two year old in a crosswalk,...
Commented on Maker's Notebook released into the wild
This looks great! I ordered one for a DIY-creative friend, and one for myself. I'm not delusional enough to think it will make me totally organized, but it will be nice to have one spot for all my random project...
Commented on Kids' game adds 500-1000 words to its forbidden list every day
In the middle of the .com boom I did a brief stint as a kids chat room monitor. I was usually far more in tune with the language the kids in the room were using (both good and bad) than...
Commented on Dear Virgin Media: if Net Neutrality is "bollocks" then you can get stuffed
@Keir - I think the largest problem with the net neutrality issue is that some large content providers might be more than willing to pay for a larger section of the road. Companies serving up large files (multimedia downloads, streaming...
Commented on Little Brother tour-schedule: Chicago, Milwaukee, Seattle, San Francisco, NYC
I'm actually pretty happy to be reading the posts on the book here - it was nice to know when it came out and when it was available online so I could check it out while waiting for the local...
Commented on Apple Geniuses to get even more douchey
Posts like this are making it really hard to like BBG. It's hateful, offensive, and provides no new information that hasn't already appeared (with much the same snarky, derisive tone) on other gadget blogs. I've had good experiences and bad...
Commented on Percussion Table Makes for Musical Chairs
I actually have a friend with one of Tor's side tables - it is setup like a marimba. It actually sounds quite beautiful, especially when played as an accompaniment to her piano....

Ditto to everything Phikus said. It just seems common sense to me....
Phikus commented on Avoid toxic people
Troof: Thanks! Nice ground rules, which I wholeheartedly adhere to (although you can say "Shut Up!" in a good way.) Seems like we are on the right path, then, although I think we are equally matched on that last point. =D Another Aaron: Thank you, sir! It seems less common than once thought....
TroofSeeker commented on Avoid toxic people
Well said, Anon #150. I used to work in a reform school for... at the time they called them 'emotionally retarted' boys. My entire purpose of being there was to protect life and limb of old Mrs. Johnson. It was wild. Most of them went off most days. My favorite kid, Myles, would try to kill me every day with a pencil to the chest. He'd cool down and we'd be friends again. Good times. Somehow, tho, it wasn't emotionally draining to me. Maybe because I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night and listen to...

Treasure the ones who make your life glow. THIS! :) That is all....
Tzctlp commented on Avoid toxic people
Really ....: "If you are more tired then you have been poisoned. If you have more energy you have been nourished." So this "rule" (which should not be black and white according to a kind soul in this thread, in which case how could you call it a rule?) uses 2 criteria that are completely arbitrary and subjective, (levels of "energy", whatever that is, and levels of stimulation with "poisoning" and "nourishment" in opposite, equally hazy and undefined, extremes of the scale) in order to pigeon-hole people around you. Do we really need this kind of new agey quackery spread...
