Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
Having that policy without stating it in your TOS seems just as shady as the stuff that this website regularly campaigns against. If you're going to have such a policy it should be clearly stated or you should expect questions...
Commented on Boing Boing: The World's Greatest Neurozine!
Speaking of features how about adding a "feature" that lets people delete their accounts? Or at least start responding to emails from your users inquiring about your policy on the subject....
Commented on Cheezy-poofs marketed as "organic carrot stix"
http://www.organix.com/Our-Foods/Food-For-Babies/Finger-Foods/Organic-Crunchy-Sticks-%E2%80%93-Carrot Why so much oil? These things are strange. "Suitable for 7 months onwards." I understand babies need fat but do they really need corn soaked in sunflower oil?...
Commented on YouTube Comment Snob hides badly spelled, profane, poorly capitalized YouTube comments
it kind of makes me sad that my inability to commit to capitalization would by default filter me out. then again i can't think of the last time i felt compelled to comment on a youtube video; since i've graduated...
Commented on "You're a Bad Mommy!" 1941 Fletcher's Castoria magazine advertisement
"laxative tantrums" strikes me as a really great band name waiting to be snagged....
Commented on Funny signs in Fremont, WA: "Dump No Material Whatever"
Even though I'm sure some Fremont residents would like to secede into their own sovereign nation it is not a city. You can come here tomorrow to see naked people on bicycles though. http://www.fremontartscouncil.org/events_solstice.html...

Commented on To-Do List temporary tatts
A friend of an old roommate of mine in Seattle has this permanently tattooed on his thigh. Pretty cool except you'd have to be wearing shorts for it to be useful....

It's been amusing watching the changes to re-design slowly creep in - all for the better I might add. But I'm still waiting for a way to read lots of full posts. When I have 20 - 30 minutes of free time I like to sit down and scroll through posts. Clicking and expanding articles I'm not sure I want to read isn't fun. What happened to the 'read earlier posts' link that gave a view with expanded posts? Are you trying to save money on bandwidth? BoingBoing is starting to look like it's feed on popurls....

HI! Just want to say that the new design doesn't really encourage me to read older articles; the newest ones have all the Big Headlines and Pretty Pictures, but go back to older posts and you get terse, short leading paragraphs and minuscule fonts. Since I don't get to read BB everyday, older stories are really getting buried. Bring the old Boing boing back, please? Maybe as an option?...

It's been a month and I hugely miss the old design. I follow most blogs within google reader but there are a few sites whose simple design and consistently good content made me want to type: ctrl+l, b, ↓, <enter>. For the first time in 7 years I have added BB to my newsreader -- my secondary, general info stream that I check after I check my favorite sites. When worldchanging.org changed from a blogger style to a more "newsey" design a few years ago they were moved to my reader and got lost in the mix. I hardly read...

I find this site is a lot less accommodating for people who like to keep up with the site but don't always have time daily - those mini-summaries are kind of worthless. I figured out I can start hacking URLs, boingboing.net/2009/11/05 etc but it's not so elegant. Other than that I guess its ok, if maybe geared too much to casual readers....
