I haven't had a lemon pound cake since I was a kid. My grandmother made the best. - Akiva Moskovitz

just made the worst gingerbread man cookies ever. #dryastoast
we learn by doing. keep that in mind and few things are actually failures. - Joe Silence is not Santa
if they're not actually burnt then they should still be good with tea or hot choco, right? - Joe Silence is not Santa
well, some liquid is needed to choke them down, that's for sure. :| heh. - edythe
probably all goodnes has been borrowed by this side of planet - we made our first pipparkakku with my daughter... she was so-o-o excited :) - A.T.
A.T., that's a good reason for my cookies to be tasteless. I like that. :) - edythe from iPhone
Actually, do you have the recipe? I'd love to try making some. - edythe from iPhone

Nice! - Rochelle
Yep, the ocean is visible but just barely. Unfortunately the camera isn't good enough to capture that in the wide angle. - Alex Scoble from IM
Beautiful! - Nicholas Kreidberg
Looks nice. Very nice! - Michael Fidler
Great choice -- best beaches in the world. - Shey, Jamaican of FF
That's nice...but nobody asked what you prefer and it's pretty rude to say something like that on a thread when someone is obviously on vacation in Jamaica. - Alex Scoble from IM
Glad you weren't on the plane crash in Jamaica. Looks fun! - Robert Scoble
This thread went thataway. - Derrick
Hey, What do you know. I was in your neck of the woods last week. In the Domenican Republic. Always wanted to get to Jamaica. While you're there, check out the Olympic Bobsled team :) - Roberto Bonini
Sorry for biting your head off, Jeunelle. Your comment rubbed me the wrong way and I went off. My apologies. - Alex Scoble
No worries Alex. It's in the past. - Jeunelle Foster
Thanks Jeunelle...I still needed to publicly apologize to you. Maybe we'll go to Tobago on our next trip. :) - Alex Scoble from IM
Very nice indeed. - Spencer
Looks like you two are having a wonderful time :) I'm really happy for you guys - Kamilah Gill
Are you guys staying at Sandals Negril? I had my 1 year anniversary there with my Wife and pretty sure my son was conceived there. - Mark Krynsky

Wow. I own property in Negril, believe it or not. My uncle used to live there and left it to my brother and me. I've been there many times. What hotel are you staying at? - Dave Winer
Dave, he said the name of the hotel in the comment directly above yours. :) - Rochelle
Rochelle, oops. I know that place. The locals make fun of the white people running around naked. They disapprove. :-) - Dave Winer
"Beware The Naked Europeans" http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUse... - Dave Winer
Is he smoking the ganga? I looked for that in a comment, but couldn't find it. :-) - Dave Winer
I haven't seen anyone running around naked here, Dave. :) Are you sure you aren't confusing Couples Swept Away with Hedonism? - Alex Scoble
Could be. - Dave Winer

Dear FriendFeed... Merry Xmas... Love Johnny
wrapped_present_box.jpg
Looking back on another year, my second Xmas with the Double Fs, I have come to appreciate the power and complete kickassedness of a lot of you here. For me, putting aside one's personal spiritual persuasions, Xmas is about taking stock of the ones you know and the ones you hold dear. This year has been hard for a lot of us. Some of us have battle personal tragedy. Some of us have battled financial stresses. Some of us have battled illness or disease... some continue that battle and you are in our thoughts. The year kicked off in spectacular fashion with the birth of Audrey Moskovitz. I have enjoyed watching her grow and I have also enjoyed watching the growth of Akiva and Rochelle as they experience some of the things those of us with kids have experienced. I have forged strong friendships. I have built on existing ones. I have lost some as well. The fact that I have a wonderful friend in Mr Josh Haley is a true blessing and a gift that lasts longer than one day. He truly is the Yang... more... - Johnny Worthington
<3 Merry Christmas you loveable man you. - aden
Well said, Mr Worthington. <3 Merry Christmas. - Yolanda

Aww, cute! Those shoes look like Dorothy's ruby slippers. - Rochelle
She really loves these shoes. They might as well be the ruby slippers that saved Dorothy. :) - Josh Haley from iPhone

Well maybe not on the camera lens but on the window of the van? Remember the Camera is in the Google van. - Colide81 (James)
@Colide81: True, true. Makes even more sense that way I think. It's either that or some sort of JMS Babylon 5 spaceship come to life. - AJ Kohn
It's a tree branch fallen on the roof of the car. (Adrian figured it out.) - Akiva Moskovitz
It's a huge flange-shaped magnet that was just levitated out of a metal scrap heap. those are cast-off TVs, mini-fridges, small safes and lunchboxes from the 60s - Thom Kennon

I'm a big believer in karma. If it hadn't been for the love and support of my friends (including many of you here) I wouldn't have made it through this year. Recently things have turned around for me, so I'm "paying it forward" to another friend who has had a rough year.

My friend Barry was on his bicycle when he was hit by a truck a few months back. Luckily he only hurt his ankle, but his bicycle was trashed; his only mode of transportation. I just called and told him that for Christmas this year I'm going to buy him a new bike. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

You have to put playing cards in the spokes though... - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
Aww, thanks all. :D My friends are my family, and it hurts when I can't help them out. Right now I can, so it's the least I could do. I mean damn, the poor guy got hit by a truck! He's got a lawsuit against them but who knows how long that could take, and he needs a bike. After all the good karma I've gotten lately, it's time to pass it along to someone else in need. - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Definitely, Johnny. It will be a requirement! - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Rock on, Sean! - Bren -- feeling merry from iPhone

For the last half hour I've been dealing with a stray eyelash that's taking up residence on my eyeball. I may just need cat tranquilizers.
I've had that happen on the bus before. I can only imagine what everyone was thinking as I flailed about like a seizure victim trying to fight the eyelash. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
*faved* - Ayşe E.
Good lord, this morning the same eye (now eyelash free) was almost glued shut with...whatever it is the eye secretes. Bah humbug. - Derrick
oh you were only using that for an excuse - VAL D. Zone
You need saline solution or eye drops or something to flush it out! Edit: Oh, I see this was last night. Glad it's gone now. - Rochelle
Chrimmus Tad
In all the time I've been an adult, I've never wrapped a single xmas present. I've always done something lame like use a gift bag, etc. Every year Lindsay tells me that she'd really like me to wrap presents - "It's the thought that counts." So this year I wrapped presents. :( They look like something a deranged 4 year old might have done.
@tad everyone starts out as a deranged gift-wrapper - Prolific Programmer from IM
I'm embarrassed to show them to anyone - I guess I'll bring them out just before we open gifts so she and Avynn can have a good laugh. - Chrimmus Tad
I'm sure she will appreciate the personal touch. - Spidra Webster
Either way - I KNOW she'll like what's within the wrapping. :) - Chrimmus Tad
I used to wrap presents all the time. Now I don't give presents. Not giving or receiving presents makes me very zen happy. - Cristo
I think I may just unwrap them and take them someplace to get properly wrapped. - Chrimmus Tad
I'm all thumbs when it comes to wrapping gifts, so it takes forever unless I used "cheats" like gift bags. When my wife and I would wrap the kids' presents she could do 5 or 6 in the time I took to do just one (and, yes, I WAS really trying!) Then I worked at Borders books one Christmas as seasonal help, and they put me on--you guessed it--free gift wrapping duty! I had all of the... more... - Mark "DerBingle" J
Don't, Tad. Trust me. She'll be really amused and it'll be endearing. I've purposefully poorly wrapped presents for years because it brings on the 'awwwwwwww' factor in a big way. - Akiva Moskovitz
Uh. I hope Rochelle misses this thread. - Akiva Moskovitz
Tad, just get one of your girlfriends to rewrap it. ;) - Cristo
I like that the local 'gentlemen's clubs' have free gift wrapping while you wait. - MVB (Grinch of FF) from fftogo
Gift wrapping is a marketable skill. - imabonehead
This is one of those things men fail to learn because they know a woman will kindly (or impatiently) end up offering to do it for them. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
m9m - As for myself, the ineptitude was no mere affectation... I literally need about 45 minutes to wrap a frickin' CD! My "fine motor skillz" ain't so fine, it would seem. - Mark "DerBingle" J
I totally have the same disability. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com from iPhone
That a boy Tad! - Nicholas Kreidberg
One of my favorite columnists (Gene Weingarten, of the WaPo) had a wonderful piece a year or two ago about men and gift-wrapping: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn... - Ladybug Heather
Practice makes perfect....;) My husband has actually been going through this for years....struggling to wrap his gifts....but I love them all, and he actually has gotten better with time! - Bonnie Foster
My mom could wrap presents professionally for Tiffanys or something. I mean, scary perfection that I have never been able to recreate, even going so far as to 'match up' the pattern on the paper when she folded it over (so you couldn't see the seam she would say). I am thinking of filming her doing it and making it as a how to video. Meanwhile, my father gets by with newspapers or leftover paper bags from grocery stores duct tapes / masking tape / leftover twine. I'm somewhere in the middle. - Andrew Leyden
I too was once like you, until I got stuck in a Macy's for a long time (waiting on someone), and spent it watching the gift-wrapping people. It turns out that at least for rectangular stuff, gift-wrapping is really pretty straightforward. I kind of enjoy it now even though the Mrs. usually gets the credit for the stuff I wrap. - Dave Roth

FriendFeed should be faster again. We were had some network issues which caused a lot of slowness this past week, but I think it's fixed now. Let me know if you are still encountering any extreme slowness.
Will this mean I'll be able to upload pictures again? EDIT This does not mean I can upload photos now. - Admiral Anika
Thanks for the update Paul! ;) - AJ Batac
Mainly just had problems with email posting and the bookmarklet. The rest seemed fairly okay. - Jason Huebel
I've been told that I'm extremely slow much of the time, but I don't think that's what you meant. Thanks for taking care of the issue, Paul. - Jim: Dead Like FF
Does seem very zippy, thanks team! - Stephen Mack
Time to time, it's slow. Overall fast (again), however. - Ozkan Altuner
I think the issues were directly related to Cristo's 11 MB PDF upload. - Louis Gray
Thank you, Paul! - Holly Rae
it looks faster now. thanks - Hakan İyice
I still see Twitter updates coming in here 10 -15 minutes later - Jorge Escobar
Thanks Paul. Much better. - Roberto Bonini
Im experiencing extreme slowness ,,,, but then again , Im 53 - johnpiercy
nice also to know your not Boarding up the Windows - johnpiercy
It did seem a little faster this afternoon. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
The Twitter issue is a separate problem Jorge -- our realtime feed from them is gone, but we hope to get it restored soon. - Paul Buchheit
The Twitter feed went entirely???? o_O - Roberto Bonini
It would be great if you could speed up importing of Twitter feeds. The slowness has been an issue for me lately. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Got it, Paul. Thanks! - Jorge Escobar
Nice to know that there is indeed a problem with Twitter importing being slow, and I'm not just going crazy. - Tyson Key
Awesome news! - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Sweet - Josh Haley
Meanwhile, Dad's kids with his new wife get what kind of toys? - Matthew DeVries
Matthew, FriendFeed users have no reason to complain about our toys. And even if we did, bitterness doesn't help. - Bruce Lewis
FriendFeed is dying for me. In fact. it's just about gone. I use it as a control room and discussion space for my Twitter feed, and a searchable archive. Discussion threads are down about 80 percent. "Likes" are off about 90 percent. There's no real time feed in from Twitter any more. Sad. - Jay Rosen
Agreed, Jay. My personal life is in a bit of an upheaval right now, which hasn't helped, but the FB acquisition took the wind out of the sails for me. It feels like there's no future, or worse, a future wired up to the "friending" criteria of my Facebook account. I use the services COMPLETELY differently, however. Inbound updates continue, since they're automatic, but this is the first comment I've posted in weeks. Sad, indeed. - Ken Kennedy
I am using Twitter and FB more and more lately. On the plus side, it's strengthening some real world connections. I'm missing out on the cool new stuff but I think I had gone overboard on that front. - Daniel J. Pritchett
I like FriendFeed, but I happen to find myself using Twitter and IRC more as of late. I guess I've probably just burnt myself and others out, given that I don't seem to have much in the way of compelling content and commentary these days, and that I just don't feel as motivated as I'd like to. :( - Tyson Key
Thanks - zizukabi
Thanks for the info and the update. - giuseppe c. | markgreene
Still seems to be some slowness. The Innovation Management Room (er...Group) hasn't updated for several hours: http://friendfeed.com/innovat... - Hutch Carpenter
Thanks for throwing some love over to FF :) - Susan Beebe
Is there currently an issue with posting from FF to update Facebook -or is Facebook broken after the re-design ? i dont get anything posted to FB anymore which worked fine before yd - Del_
Hi Paul, I know it has been a while since this post. But over the last 48 hours my Twitter updates have quit showing up in FF. I tried manually refreshing. Then I removed the account so I could just add it back in. When trying to do that I get the following message: "We could not find the given account" I haven't changed anything. Any thoughts on why this is happening? I haven't had any trouble until now. Thanks. - Mary-Lynn
My Twitter feed is coming into FF much faster now - thanks! *Edit - Blog feed, too! - Kurt Starnes
Ah, yes, search is much faster now. Thank you. - April Russo (app103)

Which is more shameless? Dating Googler for Google food or dating Disney employee to get into Disneyland for free? #jusaskin
The food one. - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
Unless you are dating one of the characters that is the object of your fetish, says Dahna... - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
dating anyone just for the vocational perks. - Josh Haley
Who said it's just for? ;) - Mona Nomura
I'd date a Disney employee but only so they could include costuming into our....fun. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Dude. Sorry to break it to you but I don't think they wash them... #becareful - Mona Nomura
Jon: you don't want that. I've heard horror stories about unwashed Disney costumes spreading crabs - Benjamin Golub
Wow, Benjamin. #tmi. :) - Louis Gray
I thought the free Google food deal went away a while back when times got tough - LANjackal
Unrelated to the crab rumor: I know a few people from college who went on to become Disney princesses. There is apparently a promotion ladder you climb (e.g., first Pocahontas then Jasmine ... ending with Cinderella) - Benjamin Golub
Aw, thanks for telling me NOW, Golub! JK...I've never stormed a disney castle before. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
I would say a Disney employee. - Christian (Simply X)
The things we learn on the Internet...I can NEVER look at Cinderella the same again! ;) - Mona Nomura
Wait whaaaa??!?!? Jon is a cos-player or furry? - Christian (Simply X)
Well, I did have a webcomic. Does that count, Christian? - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Unless and until they bring back Captain EO, Google is your man by default. - Micah Wittman
Now my question: Would you date a guy simply b/c his name was Jus Askin? #jusaskin - Micah Wittman
more shamlees? dating the googler ... go for it.. Trying to get the nexus one are you? - Wayne Sutton
hahahah this just came up in passing while BSing with my gfs. Stupid me decided to Tweet it and now I have all sorts of people calling me names. GEEZ. But I'd rather be a food digger or free disney admission digger than a gold digger! ;) - Mona Nomura

The West Wing is the best tv series aired ever. I dare you to name another show that 1UPs it. #doubledogdare
Never seen it... - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Totally agree. If I could only watch one show for the rest of my life, would be The West Wing. - Caleb Elston
CSI and McGyver - Shey, Jamaican of FF from iPhone
Gilligan's Island. - Joe
I'm not sure that I'd for sure name it best (it's kind of unfair to compare all different sorts of TV shows together in one category), but it's certainly the one I return to over and over and over again. (Too bad not all of the seasons were of equal quality, though.) - Spidra Webster
M*A*S*H - Jeremy (quasimodo)
Homicide: Life on the Street (edited: stupid keyboard) - ha3rvey (free hugs!)
you mean "Homicide"? - Joe Silence is not Santa
Mission Impossible - Cristo
Part of the impact of West Wing was the marked contrast between Josiah Bartlett's administration and the real-life version under Bush and Cheney. - Mark "DerBingle" J
Wild Wild West - Cristo
Star Trek - Cristo
(Hint: There weren't any cowboys in the Josiah Bartlett version.) - Mark "DerBingle" J
Seinfeld - Cristo
All In The Family - Cristo
That may account for some of its popularity, Mark, but I think West Wing was popular for what marks a lot of Sorkin shows: excellent dialogue, fantastic mix of comedy and drama, supernal ensemble casting...and the extra for West Wing was being able to geek out over all that governmental stuff. The dialogue was so thick with it that repeat viewings reward you. Takes several times seeing an ep before you really feel you've gotten everything out of it. - Spidra Webster
Without looking at other answers: Homicide, particularly the first year. - AJ Kohn
Chappelle Show - Cristo
NYPD Blue - Louis Gray
The Simpsons - Louis Gray
Hill Street Blues - Cristo
Red Dwarf - Cristo
Chapelle Show - Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah

Pee Wee's Funhouse! - Mark "DerBingle" J
First season of Miami Vice... unfadeable baby! - Adrian
The West Wing was so awesome I remember bit characters. Like the guy in records or something who had the best line ever. "Well you're a strange little frumpy man, aren't you?" Of all the series I've loved, this one lasts the longest. - Heather
The Streets of San Francisco - Steve
Magnum P.I. - Steve

Robot Chicken for sure! - Jeff P. Henderson
People are so serious about their TV! People are yelling at me on Twitter, too! Geez. LOL - Mona Nomura from iPhone
None of the above. But. Mad Men is climbing the charts fast. Still. WW is in the stratosphere, and nothing will touch it. - Christopher Galtenberg from iPhone
I've been watching it again on DVD. In fact, watching it right now... Jean-Paul just spiked her drink, Tae Diggs is talking to a bunch of folks about to get it... uh oh... aaaaand.... poor Molly... - Ken Sheppardson
Yes. Mad Men. - T. Brent, technopeasant
The Shield - Jan Ole Peek
Johnny Quest - Mistletoe Glen
Doctor Who... - Christian (Simply X)
The Unit. - imabonehead
I liked The Unit as well. :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
Plus most of the rest that ya'll listed. Good picks! :-) - Mathew A. Koeneker
better than TWW: Arrested Development, Futurama, Veronica Mars, The Simpsons (uh, stopping somewhere between end of season 9 and season 12 at the latest), 30 Rock, Community, and Newsradio. Action, Pushing Daisies, and Life, too if we can sneak in those shows that were "cancelled before their time". Buffy up to S5 but not past it. Esp considering the relative doldrums of TWW s3 - s6. - Andrew C
That's easy, 24 and X-Files are far better. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
Guess I'm just one of those peeps who think the west wing was boring. Couldn't get through an episode. Was more interested in ER at the time. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato from Android
Rome series 1, BSG reimagined, Sportsnight, Buffy, Farscape, Magnum PI, Red Dwarf, Thundar the Barbarian, Underdog, M.A.S.H., Password, What's My Line?, I Love Lucy, The Carol Burnett Show all rank pretty high with me. I'm sure I missed some. Loved West Wing in doses, but it became taxing for me to watch. - Michael W. May
Cheers. *dead* - Morgan Haley
West Wing is a tough show to compare shows to. As far as must watch TV: Damages, Flash Forward, Rescue Me, Dark Blue, Fringe, Lie To Me... This would be easier if I was near my DVR! - amarquart
The West Wing might be my FAVORITE series but I think the BEST series was The Wire. - Akiva Moskovitz
Good show, but best ever? Don't think so. The Wire and Rome, for instance, are way better. Heroes Season 1 (only), Kings, The Black Donnellys, Babylon 5, New BSG before season 4 are some more. Andrew C names a bunch more that I agree with. - Chieze Okoye

West Wing is a great series. Period. BUT NYPD Blue was better. - Louis Gray
The Prisoner (the original 60s series, not the remake). - Parody
I saw a clip. It showed a person being cowed into standing for the president. That was enough for me. - SuezanneC Baskerville
What does cowed into standing for the president mean? - Mona Nomura
intimidated - one is "supposed" to stand up when the president enters a room, at least according to the show. it's a statist ritual, like singing songs of praise to governments. i find it offensive. - SuezanneC Baskerville
Respect != intimidation. Besides, what's wrong with showing respect to ranked officers? POTUS is the Chief of Staff. - Mona Nomura

OMG. My roommate bought me a netbook for Christmas. What did I get him? A pair of Reeboks. Grrrrr.
Holy shinola! Do y'all need another roommate? - Mark "DerBingle" J
gee I don't want to be your roommate now - Zehnchu
Oops! Clarification: I meant so that I could get a netbook too! NOT so that I'd have to get YOU a netbook. Phew! That was close! - Mark "DerBingle" J
What kind of roommate do you have that you're giving each other gifts above $20? - Akiva Moskovitz
I got mine a giftcard for Starbucks and a frying pan from Target. - Derrick
Reeboks are nice, back in the 80's they used to cost more than $100 I believe. - Ken
Wow! - Laura B.
Did he sell his feet to get the netbook? And did you sell the wireless router to buy the shoes? - s t e v e
is not the price its the thought - VAL D. Zone
@akiva: he's my ex-boyfriend. :) we broke up ten yrs ago. Long story. #oohtinypants - tinypants - Hagitha of FF from FreshFeed
To be fair- you do a lot for him throughout the year, eh? Go on, take the netbook and run...woo ooh ooh! - Jenny R.
Just to save you some time: It won't play WoW. I tried on mine already. :D - Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Oh I refuse to play WoW on a laptop anyway, so I wasn't even entertaining the idea of playing on the netbook. - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
the Netbook is a nice, sitting your ass on the couch, watching TV and working the Auction House machine. - Joe Pierce

Alex Scoble
Smoking a Romeo y Julieta #1 cigar made in Havana, Cuba while drinking a rum and Ting and listening to the waves crashing on the beach? Priceless...Although Tina would not approve with the way the shop here is storing the cigars. I definitely think it was dry and had a bitter finish as a result...I'd give it a 5 out of 10.
IMG_0358 (Custom).jpg
Considering that I spent $21 on the cigar, 5 out of 10 is not an impressive score, but the venue makes up for it a bit. - Alex Scoble
Ting is a citrusy soda made in Jamaica btw. Very tasty. I think that Rum Ting is my new go to Jamaican drink. - Alex Scoble
Also ate two peanut butter cups while smoking the cigar. Nom! - Alex Scoble
Oooh sounds like bliss! Lucky... you deserve a break..ENJOY IT!!!! :D - Susan Beebe
Rum & Ting is awesome. When I can't get Ting, I use Squirt. Glad you're having fun. - Admiral Anika
Haha, I found something that Anika likes! I win! - Alex Scoble from IM
It's the time of miracles, Alex :) - WorldofHiglet
You are a monster Don! Enjoy! - Adrian
Hey, I like lots of things. They're just rarely discussed here. =) - Admiral Anika
Alex. if you have others that are dry: put the cigars in a container with a wet wash cloth ( don't let them touch) and check periodically. Should only take a few hours. - MVB (Grinch of FF) from iPod
Its good to be Alex ... - johnpiercy
Shoes no...socks yes...that's how Alex rolls. - Mark Krynsky
I love Ting. BTW Alex, you better not be wearing sandals over those socks! - Shey, Jamaican of FF from iPhone
LOL, Shey. No, I wouldn't make that fashion faux pas. Was wearing tennis shoes for dinner, hence the socks. - Alex Scoble
Ah, the beach. Makes me miss Baja. ... hmmm ... :) - Steven Perez
R&J is a goodern. - Jeremy (quasimodo)

Personally, I can't wait for Wordpress 2.9.1 -- because 2.9 is broken.
Really, 2.9 is broken? Then I am going to take my time upgrading to 2.9. I thought I would upgrade it during the holidays. - TrafficBug
Yeah. I'd wait for the point release. - Cliff Gerrish from iPhone
They are working on 2.9.1 beta 1 http://wordpress.org/develop... - LPH™ and his dog P™
Thanks, I will wait for the 2.9.1 then... - TrafficBug
Good to know, don't have time to waste on a broken upgrade. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com from iPhone

Samuel Adams Winter Classics Collection
"Need to get a beer-loving relative a last minute gift? The Samuel Adams Winter Classics Collection ($14-$16) is a fine option, including two bottles each of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Samuel Adams Winter Lager, Samuel Adams Old Fezziwig Ale, Samuel Adams Holiday Porter, Samuel Adams Cranberry Lambic, and the new Samuel Adams Coastal Wheat in an easy-to-wrap box." - Derrick from Bookmarklet
Cranberry? Hmmm. - Laura B.
I have had the cranberry, and I really enjoyed it. - Michelle Martinez
Sometimes I really wish I liked beer. I've tried to like it, but just don't. - Rochelle
I like it much more than I used to, Ro. I'm kicking myself for forgetting to pick some up while I was out. I'm really curious about these holiday ales. - Derrick
Rochelle, there are so many different types of beer (believe me, I'm the person to know that), that it's easier to find a beer you like than to find a wine you like. It's just that the range of beers that people are able to get to know is so limited. It's availability, that's what I mean. - Ton Zijp
I picked up a similar case on Monday! - Anne Bouey
Rochelle, if you like fruity beverages, give lambic a try. I love the raspberry kind. - Laura B.
Ditto on lambics. I'm a big fan of cherry. - cecily
The black cherry kind is yummy, Cecily. :) - Laura B.
oh nice! thanks for posting this... think i might have to pick up a case to bring down to my folks tomorrow.... - Jeffrey Marsh

Prediction for 2010: FriendFeed is going to see a resurgence.
What's the rationale? - Pavan
Really?! - Michael Liss
I hope this prediction turns to be 100% true. - ashish from iPhone
I think this prediction's outcome might fall into the hands of Facebook. We'll see what they do with the property this year. - Andrew Dobrow
Funny that this comes from Twitter. =D - Junebug (aka Sarah Jill)
ROFL. - Derrick
So is RSS if we're going to follow Robert's logic. - Jimminy Fuller
HOW TO SPOT COMMENT BAIT IN 100 EASY STEPS — STEP 1: DID IT COME FROM ROBERT SCOBLE? STEPS 2-100: REPEAT STEP 1. - Akiva Moskovitz
already happening, yo - Josh Haley
it started surging (again) after ppl let the knowledge of fb purchase fall into the bits of history pages - chaz2b
Lets cross our fingers - polou/indigo_bow
This is SO an experiment on Scoble's part. - Jeremy (quasimodo)
WTF is FriendFeed? - David Cohn
Rational, Twitter usage is flattening, people are finally figuring out that Twitter sucks for having a conversation. People though Friendfeed was hard to use, try having to install several software 'crutches' to be able to use Twitter productively without even half the functionality as Freindfeed. - Jeff P. Henderson
if you say so... - MobilAdam
Either this is tounge in cheek or Robert really hasn't gotten over our breakup... Robert, I hope we can still be friends but we have to move on and grow... FriendFeed will always love you, but we need some 'us' time to find out who 'we' are... *cues The Bodygaurd soundtrack*... *walks out into the rain, adjusts collar, walks off down the road*... *fade to black, credits* - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
LOL Johnny! - Jeff P. Henderson
Best Christmas present ever! - Jemm
Comment bait. Even Robert can't generate interest these days. - Russellreno
I agree. Friendfeed is for those who need more from a 2d interface. Until there spatial interface is there, Friendfeed is on top of the pyramid (especially when one knows how to use it best). - Kirill Bolgarov
Up - Luca Perugini from iPhone
*slow-mo head shake* - Micah Wittman from iPhone
Too funny! Johnny and Akiva -- you guys crack me up. - Mathew A. Koeneker
I would agree with a few here and say that FriendFeed is already resurging, Robert. #friendfeed - Kol Tregaskes
AMEN! - zʍıɔ
The stats don't agree though: http://thenextweb.com/2009... - Kol Tregaskes
it's like drunk dialing an ex-girlfriend... - Aron Michalski from BuddyFeed
i guess so too.. - Daniele - Viralavatar
so too :) - ★ Soner Gönül
Agreed wholeheartedly Robert - Roberto Bonini
Akiva: lol, Kol: that article only looks at unique visitors, and doesn't consider user hours. - Mike Chelen
:) @ Aron - sums it up perfectly... - 1x29
Lets hope so ... Miss some of my old peeps :) - Charlie Anzman
I'm surprised Robert made this statement but I find it very interesting in the change of view and wonder what has changed his mind or if he knows more info. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
The unpredictably erratic Scobot is at it again... - Ciro
Well, after glancing at his Twitter timeline, he's just making a bunch of joke predictions. I'd like to think that there's some truth in this one though... - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Sniffs... Do you smell that? It's what we used to call a troll. Robert is getting dangerously close to becoming irrelevent. - Jason Williams from iPhone
Robert is waiting until 2010 to respond to this thread. :) - Louis Gray
I told you so - Jesse Stay
Kol: the *stat* doesn't agree (note the singular) - Jesse Stay
Well, since I'm ready organizing the elections for the best Dutch blogs I can say the resurgence already started last week. ;-) - Ton Zijp
Kol: Here are many more stats that imply the contrary: http://staynalive.com/article... - Jesse Stay
Excellent idea. - Richard A. from FreshFeed
Scoble - I disagree ONLY because I think that FriendFeed activity is already migrating to Facebook via deeper integration over there but I'm wiling to hear you out (as are the other 40+ people commenting here). Do share why you think this is true? - Aaron Strout
I wrote this tweet for Twitter, not for FriendFeed. But nice to see you all! :-) - Robert Scoble
Jason: I'm definitely irrelevant if the people calling me irrelevant don't even have 1,000 subscribers. Sigh. - Robert Scoble
I actually see FriendFeed growing instead of slowing and there will also be new enhancements. A testing ground for Facebook. Just to expand, Robert's still the man! - amarquart
Akiva wins the internets with this mathematical formula for spotting comment bait. - Nicholas Kreidberg
You think we're fighting, I think we're finally talking! -all in one page - Tim Jones
Funny, when I write, I write for everyone, everywhere - Johnny Worthington
Beat ya to it Robert: http://friendfeed.com/jhuebel... And the resurgence is already happening. - Jason Huebel
@Jason Williams, wow that's the pot calling the kettle black, doncha think? Robert's not a troll. - Jason Huebel
@Kol, somebody mentioned that those stats often only consider US visitors (why that would be, I don't know). FF's non-US contingent has grown tremendously, so that graph may not show the whole picture. - Jason Huebel
Akiva wins the thread. - Mark Davidson from BuddyFeed
let's hope so - I love the darn thing - Arthur Coleman
I'm finding that FriendFeed is fiendishly sticky. On Twitter lists do help, they make twitter better and all but but but-but I think a lot of users are getting more sophisticated in their web usage faster than Twitter can evolve their tech. Louis Grey recently postulated that even if there is no interaction on FriendFeed it makes complete sense to stay riding this horse. That got me... more... - JSLeFanu
Dude..... I totally hope you're right, but not too sure about this! LOL Explain your rationale please :) - Susan Beebe
i agree with the original prediction. by the way, what's a resurgence? is it different than insurgents? :-) - Morgan Haley
Morgan - the insurgents never left ... ;-p - Robyn Hawk
Jason, OK. Good. :-) - Kol Tregaskes
