Louis Gray is one of the many reasons I took my own blog content offline. I mean, he is prolific. Even if it none of it is month over month coherent -- there is a lot of it. Considering he's only been at it for two years and managed to crank out more and gain more notoriety than I ever did in almost 8 years... game over. I'll stick to contributions outside the Web 2.0 bubble sphere of navel introspection rehashing. Or, I'll just focus on lambasting mediocre posts for amusement and/or boredom. - qthrul

All the numbers, charts, arrows, bars, colors, what does it all mean Jay? - loren feldman
who is louis gray? - Morgan Warstler
I dont know. - loren feldman
As near as I can tell, and I'm not an expert, it means that charts are _really_ impressive with when viewing a web page. It's like being in a meeting at work -- only you are on the WEB. Not to brag but... I have one of those engineering degree things (5 year plan *wink*). I recall something about charts and arrows being very important. In between them you can string words together to form phrases and sentences. I mean, I've heard it being done before but when you SEE it. Man. I quit. GAME CHANGER. - qthrul

Oh, and please feel free to yell at me for asking! I won't feel like a true member of Web 2.0 until I've been yelled at by Loren Feldman. ;) - Dawn
“Dawn, They all serve their self interests by trying to point their readers (dope masses) in the direction that benefits their own interests.” - loren feldman
Oh, come on, Loren, we ALL do that. :) - Dawn
Since we seem to be alone here this early Saturday morning, I want to ask you a question. Are you REALLY as mean and cynical as you act, or is it just a persona? :) I'm curious, because I can see that you're very intelligent and have lots of good talents. I can't help but wonder if you would use them differently if you didn't have to work so hard (as we all do online) to gather an audience. Of course, controversy works and you use the tool like a master, but is it the REAL Loren Feldman? I suspect there's a whole different side to you. Shame we can't see it. - Dawn
No we don't Dawn. Not everyone is like that. And in terms of my "real persona" does it matter? What's the difference? Also I never gave shit about audience numbers. Still don't, I do my thing and people either dig it or don't. - loren feldman
Hey! Maybe you should make "the OTHER me" puppet. Ha! That could be funny. - Dawn
I guess it doesn't really matter. No difference. You just intrigue me. :) - Dawn
It's sexier that way. - loren feldman
LOL Don't get the wrong idea, Loren. I'm not flirting with you. I'm a happily married widow. Ha! :) Here's the thing. As someone who has been studying the Web for some time in order to find a way for creative people to make money without having to struggle so hard to find an audience, you interest me, because like I said, I wonder if you didn't have to be controversial in order to draw a huge audience if we'd get something else from you. You know what I mean? Am I way off base? - Dawn
Dawn, I wasn't flirting either. I was serious. I dont try and be controversial and I don't find myself to be. I'm just me ya know. Everyone feigns outrage, but ultimately no one gives a shit really. I have an audience cause I'm smart and have mad talent and skills. Not because I'm controversial. - loren feldman
Okay, Loren, that's fair. As a 49 year old Catholic woman with two kids, I'm not exactly your target viewer, but I do appreciate intelligence, passion and skill where I find it. There's not enough of that combination online right now. If we didn't live in this "everything-must-be-free culture," that would change. I'm hoping to do something about that, though it will take time to get there. Thanks for chatting. Good luck to you! - Dawn
Dawn, Most people will not pay for content on the web ever, unless you are already successful in the other mediums. I'm one of the best actors ever. I mean Brando like levels, it doesn't matter though because Im some douchebag on the web making vids. No one will pay, Go find advertisers and sponsors. Dont expect your viewers to pay, because they won't - loren feldman
Oh, believe me, Loren, I KNOW they won't pay! Not the way the Web works now. But things can change with nips and tucks here and there. Hey, if all goes well this next week with investors, I'll ping you when my company launches and you can see what I'm talking about. btw, I can see you as a Brando-like actor, you're so intense. And, no, that's not flirting either! LOL - Dawn

“Palin wins. Easily. Everyone thought she would an idiot. Brilliant public speaker.”
October 2 at 7:37 pm - Link
Ummm... which debate were you watching. Or did you take a hit of acid first. She recited every word she said from a script for half of the debate. - Stephan Miller
32 more comments
she's a trained reporter, of course she did a good job on camera. that does NOT MAKE HER A QUALIFIED CANDIDATE! - Jeremy Toeman
@Jeremy Good point. - Stephan Miller
Heh, your ability to deliver this joke with a straight face is awe inspiring. - Matt Hamilton
She won. People connected with her. She won this debate. - loren feldman
What people. The one's in trailers that use phrases like "bring em to ya" - Stephan Miller
I'd say she covered the point spread... - Michael Turro via twhirl
but Biden was giving 56. - Michael Turro via twhirl
Did anyone else notice the fact she was petrified when she started, and probably just shy of tears? - Jaemi Kehoe
Loren: Palin showed up, finally. She didn't win the debate, BUT she proved that she was capable of answering questions. I wasn't personally impressed by her answers, but she definetly wasn't giving Katie Couric answers. If the bar to winning for Palin was to show that she wasn't clueless, then perhaps she won. But from an analytical standpoint she didn't win based on her responses, in my opinion. - Jim McCusker
Sir you're missing, at least, one word or more likely two... Add a "not" to your send. - Prolific Programmer
@Jim 1) she had cue cards 2) she clearly read from them, as there were several phrases repeated multiple times 3) the moderator let her off easy 4) so did Biden 5) most importantly - don't you want MORE in your elected officials than "capable of answering questions"??!?!?! - Jeremy Toeman
@Jeremy - I agree. I totally saw that she was reading some kind of cue cards..although we'll know for sure when the photographs are published tomorrow (that's what the black window was behind the VP candidates). If you READ my comments you'll clearly see that I thought Biden won. - Jim McCusker
@Jim ah, there it is at the end - sorry about that! - Jeremy Toeman
What debate were you watching. She did better then most thought but she only answered one question, appeared nervous most of the time, spewed a large amount of BS, need I go on? - Mathew Ballard
There are no cue cards. - loren feldman
@Jeremy - Read again... I gave the win in my 2nd sentence. Sorry... I'm fired up... people just hear (and read) what they want to I guess.... - Jim McCusker
@Loren - I was watching the debate in HD... she was definitely reading SOMETHING. maybe notes.. the photographers behind them will show the truth tomorrow if she had cue cards. But you can not say for sure that she didn't have cue cards. It simply looked like she was reading from something. I personally never saw her writing anything down.. but I'll go back on my TiVo to verify. Just don't be too difinitive until you know for sure. - Jim McCusker
Thankfully not everyone in America is a puppet. Palin won the puppet vote, I think is what Loren Feldman is saying. - Robert Scoble
She doesn't need to read anything. She was coached for days. Anyone can memorize. Even someone who replaces you with ya'. - Stephan Miller
Well then it's fair. She was coached for days, and he's been coached by insider politics for decades. - Ed Shaz/NextInstinct
I don't know if I'd go with brilliant. How many times did she say 'nucular'? - Aaron Krug
@all: Read all your comments to Loren's assertion, and none of them even try to aggressively turn back the tide of the assertion, you had your chance, times up, so it looks like she won. who'dathunkit? thanks for voting. - Morgan Warstler
@Stephan - I have it Tivo'd and she definitely was reading from something for some of her responses. Eyes lowered, moving left to right...clearly reading something. - Jim McCusker
@Morgan America has made it's choice. It likes stupid and phrases like "dog gone it". Yes, I must move away from Idiocracy. Our education system shows it. Happy in stupidity. What bliss. - Stephan Miller
@Stephan, glad you finally found some happiness. - Morgan Warstler
“There are no cue cards at debates. She was looking right into your eyes and your not used to it. Not since JFK has their been since a compelling performance. She rocked.” - loren feldman
The polls I've seen so far say Biden won. So, Loren again proves he's an expert on puppet feelings, not those of real America. - Robert Scoble
rofl - Shawn Farner
Performance is right, why couldn't she answer the questions offered by the moderator but instead brought up her own topic. Shows to me she was only prepared to answer her bulleted list rather than engage in a debate, the reason for being there - Bryan
I'm thinking Biden walked off the stage and chugged bottle of scotch. He didn't even know what hit him. - Peter Simard
I'm going to assume that that was complete utter sarcasm. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
puppet feelings? OMG that was funny! - Susan Beebe
Loren - Do I need to clip the video where she was clearly reading something for you to believe me? Seriously, try to take your partisan hat off and look at this objectively - Jim McCusker
Yes, she was reading something. Her own hand written notes that she took during the debate! They all have paper and pen in front of them. It's always been that way. - Dawn

Welcome to my world. I was raised in the 80s and 90s where we were taught everyone is equal and not to judge people by their sex or the color of their skin. Then I became an adult and found the very same people who taught me all that stuff running clubs, creating scholarships, and doing every other thing they can to separate themselves based on sex and race. At this point I’ve come to believe no one is more sexist and racist than the “enlightened” people who preach against it. The people who have truly “transcended sex and race” are the ones who don’t bother talking about it at all. - Tom Chamberlain

too bad, I liked the 2 commercials so far, just because it was funny to see Bill and Jerry together. They're total opposites. They should use these to transition to younger, hipper campaign.

Did Einstein Believe in God
September 9 at 5:30 pm - Link
He totally did, was a good Jewish boy who absolutely believed in g-d - loren feldman
3 more comments
Actually he didn't believe in God as a Christian or a Jew believes in god. He believes in god as in the vast unknowable universe. You can go look up the quotes where he says he wishes his "I believe in god" quotes weren't taken out of context. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
Alex -- you are right, and Loren Feldman is wrong. Einstein: "For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." - Sean McBride
Einstein arguably believed in "God" in the same way that leading American Founding Fathers and Deists believed in "God." Einstein and Thomas Jefferson seem to come from the same camp on this issue. - Sean McBride
this is the way yogis believe in god, another name for unknowable existence - Gregory Lent
the word "god" is more confusing than it is useful - Christopher Galtenberg
