"The film stars Mickey Rourke as a has-been professional wrestler pitifully loath to throw in the towel. It marks Rourke's return from acting obscurity. " - Abby Martin via Bookmarklet
Glad he's working and being lauded. Rourke is an amazing actor! (But what has he done to his face? Is that from boxing or bad plastic surgery? He was so beautiful once.........) - Abby Martin
Scads of bad surgery. - Donna Mugavero
So sad. Remember his cameo in Body Heat- he was sleek, dangerous and made you sit up and say "who's that?" Glad he is having a comeback. - Abby Martin
He looks scary. - Yolanda
He was awesome in Sin City - Michael W. May
Yes- he was tremendous- and unrecognizable in a totally different way- as Marv. - Abby Martin

This is a pretty poor post on Shipley's point but I will take my time to respond to it. - Robert Scoble
Shipley runs the Demo Conference. JFYI. - Robert Scoble
First point: blogging is NOT reporting. Anyone who says it is shows a fundamental misunderstanding of blogging. - Robert Scoble
Second: I have done hundreds of interviews with startups for free. - Robert Scoble
Third: my phone is on my blog and Shipley didn't call to get my point of view. Even if she was right this means she has lowered her own standards to reply to me, which weakens her argument greatly. - Robert Scoble
I'm not particularly familiar with the whole DEMO thingie, but the argument that journalists research and bloggers don't is a fallacy. One of my blogs is devoted to NTN Buzztime, and I can't tell you how many times "journalistic" websites simply reprint the company's press releases, with no further elaboration. Talking about calling people for comment? The "journalists" don't even bother to call the original source. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
Chris, Arrington interviewed Sarah "Seriously, screw all you guys" Lacy about her book (did you know she had a book? I believe it was called "Once, You're Lucky; Twice, You Owe Me a Goddamn Favor"). So when Lacy *returns* the favor and interviews Arrington about slights real or imagined, do you really expect to her to morph into Mike Wallace? Or Andy Rooney, even? - Karim

where do you go to buy good beer or to drink it in Greenvegas? - Jeff Quinton
Jeff, I'm in NJ until Monday: husband got sent up here for 2 weeks for business so I'm working remotely. But when in GVegas, Barley's downtown has 60 beers on tap. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
That's my girl!!!! - Anna Haro
Srlsy, this is when I start to realize that I'm from a German heritage: beer goes in, so little buzz results. =/ - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
used to study at Barley's on weekends for a Chem class at GTech - Jeff Quinton
When I visited Cambridge, Massachusetts, I ordered a beer called Delirium Tremens based on its name alone. If I had been younger, I might have ordered two. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
beer is only at liquor stores here in MD, found some good brewpubs too - Jeff Quinton
In Virginia, I learned the letters "ABC" as I grew up. I was shocked when I visited California as a teenager and they had booze in the Safeway. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
SC had beer and wine in grocery stores my whole life... you just had to get a mixed drink made with minibottles until recently - Jeff Quinton
I'm a dork, b/c I heard the story of Midas Touch on the History Channel and decided I had to try it. The recipe is based on the gas chromatograph analysis of a 1800+ yr old drinking chalis. Awesome. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
will have to try some - Jeff Quinton
That's exactly what I said, Jeff =D It's barley based, with honey, grapes, and saffron. You can taste the grape influence the first few sips, but after that it's all about the honey aftertaste. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)

If you have some hesitations about making these, let me try to convince you otherwise.These brownies are delicious! They're flavored with bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, raspberry beer, and raspberry preserves. Incredibly moist with a deep, fruity, complex flavor.Still not convinced?

Move Aside, Frozen Custard, and Make Room for Gelato - NYTimes.com
5 hours ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
"Though gelato, that smooth and flavorful Italian ice cream, is not a novelty in the United States, it has struggled to gain a foothold. Many consumers were turned off by too many bad Americanized versions and that, in turn, turned off many would-be entrepreneurs.Lately, however, gelato seems to be catching on, joining artisanal coffee, cheese and wine in catching the fancy of food lovers. With less than half the butterfat of regular ice cream, gelato is less fattening and healthier, and its dense, rich flavor and smooth texture can be highly addictive." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
mmmm...Yes Please!!!! - Anna Haro
Looks so good but....I'm having a Beavis moment with regards to the word 'artisanal' heheheheh hehe heheh hehehehe hehehe hehe hehe hehehehehehheheehhehe - WorldofHiglet

http://www.consumerfreedom.com... - "In particular, they found that vegans lacked appropriate levels of riboflavin, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, calcium, and selenium" - Those minerals can be found in multi-vitamins, reason #1 = FAIL...reason #2 = FAIL because your not a woman...-3 Jeff Quinton - Matrixx333
so should we try to stop other animals from eating each other too? - Jeff Quinton
Yes....if other animals had the ability to differentiate between right and wrong....see....that's the thing that sucks about free will. - Matrixx333
what's wrong about it? - Jeff Quinton
I'm not trying to say that everyone should be a vegetarian...I just think the industrialization of livestock is killing the environment at a rapid pace and that meat eaters should cut back on the amount that they consume...I mean, we should all try to cut back on the amount of anything we consume...the three R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Matrixx333
what about the industrialization of crop farming? maybe we should just fast or just kill off some surplus population to cut down consumption? - Jeff Quinton
That, and the industrialization of livestock has lead to animal cruelty, and if you are going to eat meat, you should investigate the conditions in which the food you are eating was raised, because you may be supporting animal cruelty. - Matrixx333
so do animals inherently have "rights"? - Jeff Quinton
I do think there are more sustainable alternatives to the way we are doing things now...I know you are probably a good, moral person Jeff, and that you are being the Devil's advocate, but I do think that there is a problem with unchecked population growth. I'm not saying take away people's freedom to have children, but there has to be an upper limit because this planet is only so big. - Matrixx333
so do you propose enforcing that the way China has? - Jeff Quinton
I personally believe that any living thing does have the simple right to "live". - Matrixx333
I don't know how China has enforced population growth, therefore, I cannot comment on that. - Matrixx333
I'll use the wikipedia link to avoid any possible allegations of bias http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O... - Jeff Quinton
I'm going to read that when I get to work, thank you for the link. You helped me to realize a contradiction in myself. I realize that Life feeds on Life, but I stated that I believe any living thing has the right to live...so it seems I need to do some more reading about ethics and philosophy if I am to better explain my beliefs :) - Matrixx333
You're missing the point people. The point is simple. The Smiths rule. The end. - Mark Wilson

my comments about @scobleizer insulting 70 startups
6 hours ago - Link
I agree. In no way am I trying to rip on Scoble, I just agree that it is difficult to launch a startup and that you can't just group a bunch together and say they suck. Especially when you are Robert Scoble. Tons of people read what he says and just believe it's true without actually checking. Not that he is wrong all the time. but in this instance, what he says goes a long way and can hurt the companies that are actually good. Maybe I'm off base here, just my two cents as well. :) - Niall Connellan
I think Robert made a big mistake here. He should not have done this. Judging startups that have not even launched yet by their websites in one minute... come on! - Loic Le Meur
I don't get it -- if their websites suck (in Scoble's opinion) why shouldn't he say so. (And I have been through it Loic, many times.) People said my websites sucked, sometimes they were right, and sometimes not, but what the fuck, people have opinions, that's just the way it goes. In your world everyone hides what they think, I'd rather live in a world where people are expected to say what they think. We'd solve problems faster. Esp startups who have websites that suck. Maybe they'll fix them and succeed. - Dave Winer
And Loic, btw, Scoble worked for my startup. Just FYI. - Dave Winer
hey Dave, yes, people have the right to say startups suck before they even launched and by spending a minute on their website, sure. I also have the right to say my friend Scoble sucks for saying that, right? - Loic Le Meur
I love your face in the thumbnail for this video, Loic! - Zach Landes
From what I gather, Scoble was saying the websites suck, not that the actual startups are bad, wasn't he? - Derrick Kwa
here is the real truth: Opinion never caused a startup to fail. Let Robert say what he will. Let others say what they want. I hope those startups at DEMO bust ass and succeed through effort. I hope the startups at TC50 do the same. Those that allow the stones to break the glass houses deserve to fail epically. - Micah Baldwin
you are wrong Scoble said they suck, not only the websites: "I just visited every one of these companies. Boy do they almost all suck (at least their Web sites and if their sites suck, I can’t believe their products are going to do much better)" from http://scobleizer.com/2008/09/... - Loic Le Meur
Loic: I know you're French, but read that again, now read it again, but slower. It implies that I visited the sites, and that the sites suck. I then infer that if your Website sucks, it might infer that your product sucks, but I don't quite cross that line. I'm going to answer you next. :-) - Robert Scoble
Agree with Zach about the pic, Loic. It's priceless! - Michelle Trent
Robert, what got me started is this shortcut you made "I can’t believe their products are going to do much better". How can you judge a product not even launched by a crappy website? WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT A COMPANY WEBSITE anyway? I don't even have one for Seesmic. In fact, we're building one, I will ask your advice. - Loic Le Meur
Loic: my point is that first impressions matter. A lot. My first impression of Seesmic still stands today. My first impression was seeing this really cool conversational video site that was different from any other I had seen previously. Now THAT was a launch. These? Well, OK, let's rejudge them on Friday. See ya then! - Robert Scoble
Wow, this is getting crazy, I think that people need to understand that everyone comes from a different perspective, Robert Scoble didn't understand the effect this would have on everyone because he has never actually been an entrepreneur. It is not his fault that he has different life experiences than others because everyone takes a different life path and Robert's is as a blogger. - Andrew Fielding
Loic, everyone cares about a startup's website. It's the first thing most people see when checking out a new product & it has a huge impact on the visitors attitude & vision for what the startup will be - surely you don't disagree with that? - Zee at WeDoCreative
By the way, Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, in a separate post here on FriendFeed, said the same thing that these sites really sucked. So did Andrew Baron, founder of Rocketboom. I'm not alone here. - Robert Scoble
The fact is Robert made a statement about the quality of the landing pages of these soon to launch products and thought most of them sucked - and frankly I agree. Where he screwed up was he then implied that their actual products/companies sucked too and that's where the uproar lies..it's as simple as that. If Robert was writing for TIME Magazine, this story would be have been reviewed by a half a dozen people before going to publication & that critical error would have been pointed out.... - Zee at WeDoCreative
however this is his blog and in the tech/web industry carries almost as much weight at a TIME magazine article and so it's understandable why so many people are pissed off. - Zee at WeDoCreative
Robert, the more you comment, the more I disagree. Nobody gives a shit about a company website. Does Friendfeed have a company website? here is my video comment with more about this http://seesmic.com/video/Pfxjt... - Loic Le Meur
Zee: if I worked at Time the story would have gotten killed because their editors don't care about startups. Oh, and if it were run it would be in four weeks in a back of the magazine where it wouldn't have gotten noticed anyway. But, you are right, it would have been fact checked and edited and all that. That's what happens to my FastCompany magazine column. - Robert Scoble
