Ouch! What is your favorite sushi place in SF?
- Eric Florenzano
(tho not Loic) I like Warakabune, a mellow, homestyle place on Church at 15th. Boats, but they'll make anything custom and it's affordable. Not fancy sushi, but like, once-a-week habit sushi.

"Secret documents, declassified since 1997, reveal development of a USAF"forty foot 'flying saucer' designed to rain nuclear destruction on the Soviet Union from 300 miles in space." The American saucer was called the Lenticular Reentry Vehicle (LRV). As to the information, the bomber was designed by engineers at North American Aviation in Los Angeles under contract with the United States Air Force."

So the people who saw UFOs flying around weren't nuts after all.

how the hell is this thing flying!!!

Loic: I'm pretty sure it's not, and those are computer generated images. Anybody know where they came from? They look nothing like what Popular Mechanics showed in their 2000 article http://www.popularmechanics.com/science...

The quality was great and stabilized? What lens were you using? Thanks for the experience.
- Andrew Smith
I shot it with my 5D MarkII and the "kit" lens, it worked pretty nice. It was very noisy inside with the air, but not as noisy as in a propeller aircraft, we could talk to each other without having to wear a headset.
- Loic Le Meur
...the noise in a glider is actually not that bad, it's just the rushing wind. However the mic on recording systems usually makes it sound worse. Think of when you're on your phone in the wind, it's not bad for you when you talk, but the person listening to you thinks you are standing in a thunder storm. ;-)

Loic -great video makes me feel good to be a entrepreneur and to think like a kid. I say this as I watch my daughter build a house out of styrofoam that was used for shipping a product
- Kevin Tunis
Great video, thanks for putting it up here Loic :-)
- Rasmus Lauridsen
oh my pleasure, I just love it. I think all entrepreneurs think like kids in a way. You have to. Follow your dreams.
- Loic Le Meur
Applaud your courage to make such a difficult decision
- Rick Turoczy
I should write this post about what entrepreneurs should avoid to keep going. One of them is avoid reading people who say "I was right see, this failed I had said it would". Did you ever say/comment that? If so, you are full of shit.

Embracing change and maintaining the ability to move quickly is essential in today's economy. It always was on the Internet but the pace it so much faster now. Diversification isn't a bad idea either

I for one, stopped using Seesmic when development slowed to a crawl, axed their community leaders, & promised features that never surfaced.

I am rooting you on. The minute you take time to listen to someone less passionate, focused, talented or smart... you loose a part of yourself. I'd have you on my next advisory board anyday.
- James Watters
The thing is though Loic: You made a video technology that no one wants to use and you took 12 million in funding for it. How on earth do you make that money back with a free twitter / facebook client? Take Tweetdeck for example, they borrowed almost 40x less money than you and they haven't made a return yet - $300k.
- Mark
Greg and Mark, your encouraging words made my day, thank you :-)

There's no such thing as 'failing' in life, only a step to something bigger and better. What they call 'failing' is a nudge from the universe to make a turn to the right or left. Love seesmic desktop!!
- Myrna
I am pulling for you Loic! I thought the whole video talk to a webcam thing was a little dorky. But hey, it was worth a shot. You'll hit on something. Plus I love the way you speak, you remind me of my father. He spoke very poorly but was very wise, as are you.
- ZuDfunck
Loic: People who say "I told you so" have never built something out of nothing before. I would rather be the bloodied idiot in the center of the ring with a shot at the title than the timid sideline genius with no chance for glory ever. Keep swinging, it takes guts to stand naked with ones ego and history is made forward, not read backwards.
- Chad Harris
Onward and upward - is there any other choice? Only if you lose your vision, passion, and desire to change the world and build something great... very small amount of people, even on here doing that - kick ass Loic!

"Hi Sol, I also said in the video how much respect I had for you guys, even when you retweet weird compete information, remember :-) "flat" was a way to express that social video has not taken off for anybody and also expressed at 3:30am. I am very happy for you that you see growth, we also have growth, but it is not really big. Even on YouTube social video does not grow, I mean the video comments section. As I also said, I still think it will happen, but I believe I was too early, that is personal. I wish you and 12seconds the best and all the growth you are dreaming about, sincerely. Keep in touch."

"very wise words Chris, as always, I agree 100%. I am curious on why you chose a Facebook page for your community rather than a dedicated Ning site? I am experimenting both at the same time."

Mine crashes every time I talk to a frenchman!
- Mark
That's funny. Mine doesn't let me post to friendfeed a lot of the time. I think it's looking out for our own mental health or something!
- Robert Scoble
I think it's kind of funny when we have to pre-announce our disconnection from the interwebs - I'm not hating as I do it too but just saying :)
- Mike Bracco
lol thats what I did 5:45am actually
- Peter du Toit
