is bad at writing descriptions, so she'll just stop.
Good night, friends. I will see you on the other side for other tomorrows <3
Goodnight, Jenn. <3 - Kristin
*holds on tight* - Heleninstitches #teamff
It feels fitting that the last moments are one big "viewing party," like we've seen so many times before when big things were happening. <3
Thank you so much for everything, especially the last few days <3 #lastselfie
<3 - Kristin
a pleasure, Jenn - Franc, a rememberer
OK, there we go. I'm sure there were a few others that it missed (and some that were actual mistakes that lasted for only a moment that I didn't include.)
I'm pretty sure I had "Danger! Unicorn!" for a while: http://apelad.biz/image..., but it would have been early on. Also, my Omeganaut headshot. - Jennifer Dittrich
Ahh! That's my Flickr avatar still :) - Jennifer Dittrich
I just want to say thank you to Micah, Claudio, Victor, and everyone else who wrote scripts or applications, or just pitched in to help people figure out how to try to archive their feeds. It can't replace our community, but it might help some of us catch and hold a little of the magic.
Definitely grateful for the scripts. Thank you so much. - Spidra Webster
OK, now that I'm finally not crying anymore, I'm going to try to get some sleep. I'll see you all in a few hours :)
G'night, Jenn :) - Pete&#39;s Got To Go

We've celebrated, mourned, argued, loved, comforted, rallied, joked, and, well, lived together in this place. I wouldn't trade those moments for anything. I can't save them, I can just carry them into wherever we go next, and after.
Even archiving can only maintain a record and not the moments themselves. - John (bird whisperer)
Exactly. And, so many of those moments live in other people's feeds, or in the interplay between them all. - Jennifer Dittrich

So much of this is bittersweet. It is often amazing, and sometimes sad, to re-visit older posts. I love seeing those things, but I know I'll miss them tomorrow. I hope there will be new songs, pictures, memes, and things to fill that time ahead of us. - Jennifer Dittrich
Damn, this hurts.
*curls up next to Jenn and Tam and hogs the blanket* - Corinne L
Tam, exactly. I just want to hold everyone close, but holding you all in my heart is as close as it gets. <3 - Jennifer Dittrich
*hugs* - Anne Bouey
And now I'm attempting to install Ruby after 10 on a school night. What could possibly go wrong?
Unsurprisingly, the install is blowing up. Damn. - Jennifer Dittrich
I got my latest stuff, but there's a lot I'm missing, and I doubt I'll be able to get that running in time. - Jennifer Dittrich

All hail Dad, who is picking up some rhubarb starts for me from the farm near their house!

Hope you have lots of room in your freezer! ;) - holly #ravingfangirl
We have a rhubarb patch that we can't get rid of, no matter how hard we try. :) - Stephan Planken
Brontosaurus may return thanks to new dinosaur analysis | Ars Technica - http://arstechnica.com/science...
"A team of palaeontologists is claiming to have “resurrected” Brontosaurus, the famous long-necked, pot-belled dinosaur. No, they haven’t conducted some mad DNA cloning experiment. They have built a big new family tree of long-necked dinosaurs and argue that Brontosaurus is distinctive enough to be classified separately from its closest relatives. Confused? I don’t blame you. Brontosaurus is of course an iconic dinosaur. If you could only name a few dinosaurs, you would probably come up with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and Brontosaurus. Ever since 1903, however, you would have been mistaken in naming the last one. That was the year that palaeontologists determined that Brontosaurus was nearly identical to a dinosaur called Apatosaurus that had been discovered earlier; thus, the latter was the appropriate name to use. Needless to say, this never filtered down to pop culture." - Jennifer Dittrich
"In the meantime, palaeontology became a discipline in which a new species of dinosaur is being found every week. Hundreds or even thousands of dinosaurs have come to light since Riggs sunk Brontosaurus. Tschopp examined many of these dinosaurs in museums across the world and built a huge database that records how they differ in age, size, and anatomical features. From this, his team built a family tree that showed Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus as closely related but not identical. The researchers also applied various statistical analyses to the database and family tree to demonstrate that the skeletons of Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus were more different from each other than many other types of long-necked dinosaurs that have long been classified separately." - Jennifer Dittrich

HBO Now launches on Apple TV and Cablevision’s Optimum service | Ars Technica - http://arstechnica.com/apple...
"After years of speculation and months of planning, HBO Now is finally live. The subscription service is offering a 30-day free trial, and after that it costs $14.99 per month—no cable subscription required. For now, HBO Now is only available on Apple's second- and third-generation Apple TV hardware, as well as over Cablevision's Optimum Internet service, which serves the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut areas." - Jennifer Dittrich
heh. exactly. we are trying to decide whether to give the 30 day trial a test now, or just wait since we still have it on cable. :) - holly #ravingfangirl
So while one man from Tallahassee, Fla., simply wrote in to the F.C.C. saying, “This will be a nightmare for consumers!” — obviously in opposition to the deal, Geoffrey A. Manne, executive director of the International Center for Law and Economics, a former law school professor and Microsoft executive, submitted a six-page detailed analysis of the... - http://jenn2d2.tumblr.com/post...
But there is a common element to dozens of these appeals: The senders received money from Comcast in recent years, either as a charitable donation, corporate support or a political contribution, records show.

Part of the problem is that none of these articles were co-written by a Liberian scientist. The investigators collected their samples, returned home and published the startling results in European medical journals. Few Liberians were then trained in laboratory or epidemiological methods. Even today, downloading one of the papers would cost a... - http://jenn2d2.tumblr.com/post...

I went ahead and created a version of this room on frenf.it (http://www.frenf.it/earlyad...) -- I think I've found some of my favorite recipes, or recipe ideas from this group :)
