…I added Mark’s blog as a favorite. Primarily because it’s awesome, and also because of his tagline about bacon. <3

To favorite someone’s blog, you’ll need Firefox with Firebug installed.

1. Open someone’s blog and view source.
2. Look for an HTML comment like this: <!-- Asset Stream 6a00b8ea0717f31bc000b8ea0717f51bc0 -->
3. Copy the asset ID (the 6aNNNN… number).
4. Run this command from the Firebug console (with the above ID): app.c.addAssetAsFavorite( { asset_id: "6aNNNN..." } )
5. Check your favorites. It should now be listed!

Just to +1 .tiff’s earlier post on what is possibly my favorite social media site of 2007. I have the FFFFOUND screensaver on my living room computer, and I could just sit on my sofa and watch it all day.

I believe what makes FFFFOUND so compelling is its simplicity. As a user, you can do precisely one thing: favorite images. There’s no tagging, no friending, no privacy, no sorting, no collections, nothing. The social graph of followers/following is built out of the implicit links between users who favorite each others’ images.

Scratch that. I know what makes FFFFOUND so awesome is its simplicity. It’s a scalpel in a universe of swiss-army chainsaws and it looks good all the time, a candy store for visual inspiration.

Best when paired with cold Japanese beer and Digitalism.

Also tangentially related bonus link (NSFW).

Besides the very last few seconds where it shills for Sony, this is one of my favorite ads. Jose González’s spare cover of Heartbeats goes lockstep with the shots/edits, contrasting with the riotous fleet of colored balls bouncing down San Francisco’s hills. It meanders between Potrero, Russian HIll, Nob Hill and North Beach. I’m not sure this could be filmed anywhere else.

Alleycat. Saturday, December 8. Race for food on your fixie/MTB/cruiser/junker/whatevs. Prizes for biggest turkey (or ham), specific items, and most food collected. All proceeds (and food) go to feed families over the holiday. I raced last year, and I’ll race again this year.

Much higher coordination of skills than Critical Mass, despite the [required] PBR fitted to your bottle cage.
