Al Dente: Almost Edible Photo: Homemade Oreo Cookies
16 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"From flickr. I guess they could also be considered homemade Hydrox cookies. I've never been a fan of Oreos, but these wouldn't last long in my house." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
Just what's missing with my coffee here, they look fantastic - Mo Kargas
A warm Oreo dipped in Milk sounds great. If you work at an Oreo plant post on this thread. Do they let you eat them straight off the production line? - Franklin Pettit
A friend of mine interviewed at a honey bun plant. The employees could go down to the plant floor and get a warm honey bun anytime they wanted. - Franklin Pettit
Another I'm sharing with the Foods room. yummy for my tummy. ETA - nevermind... :) - Yolanda
If I worked at a place like that, it just wouldn't be good. Warm Oreos...yum. - JMS
Even better than the real thing - Michael W. May
Oh. My. Gawd. Yum! - Lisa L. Seifert

Not every post I do takes such a short time. The one I just did was closer to 45 minutes. There's nothing wrong with letting it sit while you get more data. - Louis Gray
@Louis - I just wanted to comment that I think it is great you produce such quality so quickly. Did it take any practice or was it just natural to write that fast? - Franklin Pettit
Franklin, they might take 20mins to write, but I can assure you that the prep time can be a lot longer than that. I might only take <20mins, but I can often be reading or playing with the product for a significant time prior to the actual post - Duncan Riley
Thats a good point Duncan the research time is outside of actual writing time. - Franklin Pettit
For me that was a one time event -- I had the post in my head and wanted to write it during my lunch break since I was gonna be busy that night. +1 Duncan. - Shey
I tend to write quickly, but Duncan is right in that there is time in thinking and gathering data. I just did an interview with Eric, the CEO of Gnip, which was 20-30 minutes in itself, and then making sure I got quotes right and links, etc. Also, articles that have more screenshots or are reviews can take longer. The 20 minute ones are more pontificating or observations than thorough product analysis. - Louis Gray
Loius, Shey, Duncan- , but then again, it depends on what type of blogger one is and their style of blogging. Redmonk was one of the first Analyst who described my style well as an " seeing the emergence of thlinking? thought/linking and embedding." details here http://www.redmonk.com/jgovern... - Peter Dawson
and just to set the prospective.. that post was framed way back in 2005 !! - Peter Dawson
I am actually working on a post that I've been writing for several days now. The thing is that I wonder whether or not the blog post will actually be read by people and considered good writing. I'm still not satisfied with it. - possible248
I have several posts already in the making -- starting out with just jot notes in my FriendFeed room. That way when I'm ready to write, I have all the points I want to make and I can communicate my message with a logical flow. However, not all of those ideas get published for one reason or another. - Shey
Well, that's how most of them are anyway. The Frienderati post was one where I had the points in my head, whereas my rants, I write on the fly. - Shey
If I get on a rant, I tend to write and post pretty quick, but I learned long ago, to be sure to re-read it, as ranting can sometimes sure look silly the next day... - Ian May

When I say quality content I just mean I think it is quality content the blogosphere will ultimately decide. - Franklin Pettit
I write and post when I want, regardless of the blogosphere. If I miss days then so be it. - LPH
I tend to side with LPH to some extent, but in terms of weekends it can be an easier time to gain attention for your content because there's naturally less of it around. I tend to do well on US Sundays because it's my Monday and I write like any normal day. - Duncan Riley
Funny, I always wait until the following Monday or even Tuesday to post things written on the weekend. Mainly because I rarely read my feeds during those days. Also, I find that waiting a couple of days helps with any rewrites that should be done before it is published. - James Hull

Well, it's not all of your friend's friends' activity, but if you click on "See both" under discussion on your friend's profile page, you'll see everything your friend thought was interesting from his or her friends. - Mark Trapp
It would be cool to aggregate all my friends' discussion entries on to one page. Wait..that would be the Friends tab... - Hao Chen
Not sure if this was clear. I want to see only Friend of a Friend Stuff on a per user basis. It would though be great to have a separate Friend of Friends Tab showing all the FOAF stuff in one place. - Franklin Pettit

Cycling | Ricco the latest to fail EPO test
Thursday at 6:13 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
This is crap. Cycling is more than hard to be a fan of. I think I am done. - Franklin Pettit via Bookmarklet
they should flip the rules- and allow drugs in cycling- in fact have a segment before the race showing everyone lined up to get their shots. - Nathan Eckenrode
agreed - very frustrating - mike "glemak" dunn
I am not sure what the answer to drugs is. But they can not solve their problems. They have been struggling with this for close to a decade. They have had more than enough time to figure it out. Plus I am not sure that their test are always conclusive. I still am not convinced Floyd Landis did anything wrong a few years ago. - Franklin Pettit
Don't know what the answer is honestly. A friend suggested to have 2 Tours, one where you could take any drugs you wanted, and one where you can't (don't know how that is going to ban the cheaters tough), but something has to happen at some point. I'm loosing interest in cycling every day... - Marc Dierens
it is a problem in all sports at all levels unfortunately - its a follow the money and glory issue, sacrificing tomorrow's health for today's success - mike "glemak" dunn

This is crap. What a freaking ridiculous sport. I have tried to be a fan. The Tour de France is an amazing event. This freaking drama is ridiculous. First the best riders don't get to participate in Astana and now the most exciting thing about this years tour Ricco is gone. I am finished with cycling. Geez! - Franklin Pettit
