"Lastly, it should be noted that because pulling alternately on one chain and then the other resembles in some measure the movements one would use to swing from vines in a dense jungle forest, the swinging method of the present invention may be referred to by the present inventor and his sister as "Tarzan" swinging. The user may even choose to produce a Tarzan-type yell while swinging in the manner described" !!! - Ross Miller

Sarah, he's prepared for the zombie apocalypse when his friends will be like, "Remember when I sent you that email that one time?" and he'll be like, "Lemme look in my filing cabinet..." - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart

I remember when Bret first showed me Google Local and you could type "Thai food in Sonoma" and it would give you a list of the Thai joints in Sonoma. It was the future. I don't know the number of times that I have used Google Local (now Maps) since then, but I know I'll be a little sad when i upgrade to iOS 6 and gMaps is gone.

Rod, for small (<320GB) drives they're almost the same price as a 1TB drive, because there isn't enough demand to keep them going at a large enough supply scale. It's kind of crazy. So they could upgrade to 1TB drives, if they wanted, but you don't need that much info in an iPod. Probably, just needs to be discontinued. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy

Agreed - "That’s not to downplay The Avengers success — its run has been amazing. But come on, to say that now “ranks third all-time in receipts” is misleading. It ranks third in money made, yes, but it’s a sort of silly metric. Hollywood should count and publish tickets sold in absolute numbers." - Ross Miller

For the longest time, my Likes:Comments ratio was somewhere around 2:1. It is now 1:3. I think the shift happened when the size of the community shrank. I comment a lot more because posts stick around the feed and I have time to let them settle in. When the feed moved too fast, I would just like and move on. #FFRambles
