Wow this still exists

you should watch out for her boyfriend coming to fuck you up because all the sudden her conscience hit her and she told him without warning you first

This ^

It's pretty much always a grab for attention, and she'll use you to get a rise out of her boyfriend. If it hints don't work work she'll take it to the next level and tell him, which will usually send him after you to beat your ass so he feels better, and she'll feel like she's being take care of. This is a trainwreck pretty much every way you look at it.

I dunno where to put this, and a bit self-promotional, but I work for these guys and we just dropped a pretty solid colab hat with Venice Originals. The video turned out really solid

To me at least each of twitter, instragram, etc. filled a distinct market space when launched. One of the many problems of G+ was that in addition to their absurdly stupid rollout, it literally does not do anything Facebook doesn't. Every new innovation they had (circles, etc.) were immediately and instantly replicated by Facebook causing G+ to lose any incremental value it had over Facebook. While I'll admit I haven't explored ello very much it looks like the bastard child of tumblr and twitter, with a UX shameless jacked from medium. I'd be interested in your thoughts as an actual user though

For me G+ never had the marketing momentum to explain it or make me want to understand it. It seemed like linkedin X facebook, and the idea didn't really catch me. I don't tweet or use tumblr, so at first glance Ello looks like those rolled into one, but it's so basic and so shaky right now it's hard to know what it's really going to become. Not having a mobile app makes it pretty annoying, I think everyone is sort of waiting to see what the purpose is so they know how to use it. I remember buying the first gen Ipad and looking at it like an insanely expensive paperweight, now I use it religiously, almost more than my laptop. I'm definitely not "mad" at Ello like some people seem to be, just giving it a chance to figure itself out, and for users to find it's home. There does need to be some sort of interconnectivity tho for it to be relevant, like how FB tried to introduce hashtags to create conversation (which honestly is brilliant), but the education wasn't there to let people know how it worked. 

I feel like I heard all these arguments when twitter, instagram, tumblr and FB launched too.

I don't think it's "some lame shit"...maybe it'll fizzle out, maybe it'll become a thing. 

I do like that they aren't data mining or allowing advertising, I doubt that's really sustainable tho. Interested to see where it goes.

either way, if you're on:

yea, I'm trying to navigate it and see if it's useful but not catching my attention really. Super hard to even find people if you have their usernames. 

who else is jumping on this?

What do you guys think of it?

Ron why do you buy and wear billabong wetsuits. 

They aren't good at all compared to what else is out there. Construction is prehistoric, company back end sucks and isn't worth supporting...anyone good at that brand left 10 years ago, it's mass produced and isn't even their focus. 

There's equally basic brand wetsuits that are 10X better for the same price.

But you should be buying Patagonia R2 for actual quality or O'Neill Psycho 3 Fuze or even Xcel is killing it.

I know money ain't a thang for you, why slum it on a costco level wetsuit. You probably surf ok too also I'll bet. Why Billabong.

same here ^

and some of them aren't bad at all. I respect that hustle.

trying to navigate invoicing and billing for "creatives" is fucking agonizing. Feels like every photographer, graphic designer, illustrator, etc I've ever worked with has no idea how to bill for their work, and leaves it entirely up to interpretation. I end up trying to liaison between them and accounting departments, and it's almost always a hassle. Protip - most every business will fuck you if you give them the opportunity to. Quote a project accurately and bill for it, treat your photo/art/graphic design/whatever business like an actual business. And no, just because some established photog in NYC you've never met allegedly charges $20,000 a day doesn't mean that's what you get. 

that brand that makes the "pussy eater" and "fuckkk" stuff is behind me at this tradeshow. Or it's a knockoff pussy eater brand, which would be even funnier. 

getting CC'd on unnecessary internal company emails. 

that Comcast call making the rounds right now makes me want to pull my fucking hair out. I had a similar call not that long ago but just hung up on the employee and went into a comcast store instead, shit was the worst.

wasn't someone making a SufuWiki for a minute? There's too much good history here between stolen backpacks and cousin fucking to let it be forgotten.

fuck.

It would help if your site haz sizing measurements

I've been telling the guys inhouse to put measurements up for...fucking ever. I don't know why it's taking so long. PM me if there's something you want measurements on and I'll get them myself.

Bumping this.

Had a super fun day on a secret stream in the hills. All on dry flies, all day long. 

Thanks man! It's been fun lately, we're finding some rad fabrics and really dialing in fits. Fred Segal in Santa Monica just got product in, doing a pop up shop on the Facebook campus...just putting the pieces in order. Skirmish shorts are killer, dual F-Stop pockets help a ton. Lemme know if you want anything, stoked to hook up Sufu homies.

What's up everyone. Been MIA for a bit working a bunch, but wanted to share this with you guys. You might have seen me post about a brand I work with, Endless Ammo, a mens tech focused line built in San Francisco. We just dropped a commercial we made with a friend of ours, Dan Melamid (built videos for Nipsey Hussle, Don Kennedy, A$AP Ferg and more), and really stoked on how this came out. Most everyone featured is affiliated with the brand in some way, riding for us, as an ambassador, supporter, etc. Just a bunch of solid, creative people. Shows some of the inspiration behind the line, sort of a day in the life in SF, and some of the pieces in the SS14 and upcoming FW14 range. Would be stoked if you guys checked it out. The focus of the brand is to build US made functional activewear, accessibly priced, and with a minimal feel. Basically, we want to build stuff ourselves that should be taken into the streets or backcountry and beat up and used. Not things to hang in your closet, never wear and worry about scuffs or dust. We're learning as we go, but I think we're finally on a really strong path. Hope you enjoy. 

that's the cycle. Not at all hating on business, I'm back in the middle of it again, just in a smarter way this time I think... I guess the point being that there's so many bullshit distractions you get caught up in that complicate just doing business...it gets hard to stay focused on what matters sometimes, especially when you'e pursuing things that are actually totally irrelevant. For all walks of life. The absolute happiest times of my life are when I'm making less $, but have fewer obligations. I find myself having more fun, experiencing more things, and generally doing financially better when I don't scale up my "wants" alongside my projected earnings. 

it is. I've dated a ton, been married, in long term relationships, one night stands, all that. It takes a while to find it, or you might never. I think people don't always realize you can do everything you want and still not be an asshole in the process. If it's "cool" or "funny" to cheat on someone, or need to be underhanded about things, you're probably a basic bitch, and most likely spending time with basic bitches as well who tolerate that kind of shit.
