I'm in the process of having one, Richard =) Cheryl, this is from the bakery down the street: the slice a croissant in half and put an almond custard in the middle.
- FFing Enigma
YES!!! And I'm being so good, I still have half of it left. I'm totally ruining my dinner with this thing =D
- FFing Enigma
I love the almond paste thingy on the inside. Holy Crap I am getting hungry!
- Mona Nomura
My absolute favorite is the bear claws from Panera. They've gone back to making them the old way - very sweet - and just full of a sweet streusel filling with a little almond paste. Mmmmm.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
I would totally have an almond croissant if I knew where to get one... I don't frequent bakeries usually, and I don't even know if there's a bakery in the area that makes them. But the bear claws from Panera sound really good and are easily accessible for me. :)
- Cheryl Jones
Perhaps I'll just have to make my own almond croissants sometime.
- Cheryl Jones
Cheryl, sounds like you need to take some bakery field trips to test the availability in your area. Darn, having to try baked goods at multiple bakeries ;-)
- FFing Enigma
I have to say, that is the best looking almond croissant I've seen. That is my favorite too!
- @CrystalinaB
@Tina: That's a tough project, but I'm up to the challenge. :D
- Cheryl Jones
Did a quick Google search for local bakeries and all of them seem to be geared toward cakes/cupcakes rather than pastries. So I searched for a recipe and found this: http://chocolateandzucchini.com/archive...
- Cheryl Jones
Looks really good! I might just try this myself. :)

TechCrunch hasn't broken the embargo yet even though I thought I heard Mike say he was going to post his screenshots up before the embargo. I think it's nice that he has not yet.
- Thomas Hawk
I think Mike went home and decided to post about Twitter/Google instead to take his mind off FriendFeed.
- Ken Sheppardson
I am sure there will be plenty of buzz tomorrow when the news breaks officially. Enough buzz for everyone.
- Paul Jacobson
I'll be at work when the embargo is over so I wont be able to play until night.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
I'll be on an airplane when the embargo is lifted. I'll have to post via magic.
- Louis Gray
@Louis Or you could change your flight to Virgin and tweetblog it out from 33k feet! Just sayin.
- Brian Daniel Eisenberg
boy thomas isn't that sad that you have to say "i think its nice that he has not yet"?
- Allen Stern
Brian, Louis doesn't need to do that - he has little twin babies doing his work for him. It's magic.
- Jesse Stay
Wait, is there still time for me to make something in Photoshop so I can "scoop" everybody else, even though what actually gets released has nothing in common with my Photoshop mockup? :D
- Wirehead
I bet Louis will have it up 1st using his magic.. FTW
- Wayne Sutton
Wayne, assuming I write anything (which I haven't yet), I would have to save it as a draft and beg Jesse to post it for me. :)
- Louis Gray
Nicholas, I have one post set for 9 and one for 10 so far. More coming.
- Louis Gray
I am in Holland on business and the time difference has me all screwy. I've been patiently waiting, but have another five hours :-\ back to work...
- AJK
Some of us are up at 6 and will not be able to see video later (alas, the firewalls in healthcare are challenging to say the least)
- Loretta Donovan
Too bad Louis is on a plane and missed the new embargo time.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Louis has posts scheduled to go up at 9, 10, and I think 11.
- Ken Sheppardson
Dan - I agree, I miss Louis' input and enthusiasm.
- Susan Beebe
so Robert what about that video. how long will it take to upload?
- Alexander Kucera
I'm having a LOT of troubles with Blip. The file sizes are too big. I'm having to make them lower quality. This really sucks, sorry.
- Robert Scoble
I see. Bummer. Well, we will have to wait then. No problem.
- Alexander Kucera
I guess we know which one came first. :)
- Sarah Perez
sarah was the embargo broken? (i was outside)
- Allen Stern
Will we be able to see the FF show soon on scobleizer or on listen on gillmor gang?
- JRblog
Damian: They are filtering on "friendfeed" so will see your comment. (I'm doing the same, which is how I saw this one).
- Robert Scoble
has it slowed down for you guys since pre-9am
- Andy Fox
Andy: the feed is going WAY faster as everyone discovers a "new shiny thing." But the speed of reloading pages has gone down as traffic here has gone up.
- Robert Scoble
Glad for the improvements, but I just recently discovered Feedly and I'm spending all my Reader time over there now. Will check out the new iPhone interface...
- James Hull
Thanks James. The good news is that feedly is using Google Reader as a platform and will benefit from a lot of the improvements made in this release.
