The Serious Eats Ginger Beer Taste Test - http://www.seriouseats.com/2009...
salvador arturo martinez, Michelle Martinez, Live4Emma (L4S) and 3 other people liked this
"I'm not huge on sodas like Ed, but I will drink a ginger beer every once in awhile. Since visiting London when I was little with my family and buying big bottles of it at the local grocery store, I've been hooked. I think that ginger beer goes great with a whole bunch of foods, cutting through fatty food and complementing spicy Thai food. In summer, it's refreshing; in winter, the ginger is warming. Aesthetically, I like it because it often comes in cool glass bottles instead of a can. As a bonus, it's often made with honey or real sugar instead of fake sugars or high fructose corn syrup, which both gross me out."

I love Reed's. Especially their Premium Ginger Ale. What originally turned me on to their brand was their Spiced Apple Brew - apple pie in a bottle.

Eric Logan, Ross Mayfield, Ahsan Ali aka. Slick and 6 other people liked this
Thanks for writing this. Just want to respond to clarify the differences between SUP and Pubsubhubub, as they serve two different purposes, and indeed could be used together. SUP publishes an aggregated list of changed resources, which clients can poll to save the overhead of polling individual resources directly. Whereas Pubsubhubub uses a push model to ping an aggregator/hub directly. Sites like FriendFeed already support both, and we're discussing how to use SUP at Google.

14 Basic Skills All Men Should Possess | The Best Article Every day - http://www.bspcn.com/2009...

Nia, Jeff P. Henderson, mridul and 17 other people liked this
"In today’s modern world there are many things we take for granted, many things our fathers would have known how to do, and some others that might baffle them. Additionally, on average, Americans and European men are starting to get married older, meaning that there is now a need to be self-sufficient in things long-considered to be within the realm of the woman. Whether you’re out camping, or at home or work, there are some basic skills a man must possess. The following are fourteen of examples of these skills – if you don’t know them, you should learn them, or you may be caught unaware sooner than you think. If you can think of others, please leave them in the comments below."

dude, the thing in that first photo isn't even a real stick shift. a real stick shift is like the kind in an '87 Colt (my dear departed vehicle, which bit the dust last year). Just a fricken stick stuck in the floor.
- Nathan Rein
Lets see, I've never driven a stick shift, but I think I could. I don't know how to swim, don't care to learn. And I don't know how to cook the perfect steak, don't need to since I don't eat steak.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
(1) I hate these kinds of lists. (2) If you think swimming is a necessary skill, why would you list the breaststroke, arguably the least efficient stroke out there?
- Andrew C
Agreed with the toilet, mapping, button-sewing, and laundry skills. Driving a stick shift, hooking up an entertainment center, cooking steak, and car repair aren't strictly speaking necessary. Instead of a steak, they should have had general cooking skills.
- John (a.k.a. dendroica)
i can't imagine why nothing parenting-related is on there. change a diaper, anyone?

Knowing how to fry an egg, for example, is far more basic than cooking a steak.

- Patrik Johansson
The last time I went shopping for a new car, it was just about impossible to find a manual. the dealers told me very few were made anymore. That was years ago, and I still have the stick shift vehicle I had then. I'm a firm believer in letting oil changes be done by those who have easy access to the proper, legal way of disposing of old oil and filters.

@Geoff Schultz: Zip ties? I have never purchased a zip tie in my life. I have, however, cut up old pantyhose to make loops & strips that are quite effective for the same purpose. Also great for staking plants without damaging their stems. (frugal female recycling secrets revealed)

Hooking up an AV system is relatively easy. Figuring out what's going on back there when it's time to change things around, that can be a hassle. I very strongly recommend labelling every cable (and speaker wire) that goes in there, as well as every power cable you have hooked up. (AV cabinets would *really* benefit to put the receiver on a lazy Susan, come to think of it. Esp if there was sideways access so it would only need to spin 90 degrees.)

@Jesse: It's a dead twitter command "track keyword" sends you realtime updates whenever the word is used. Think of it like realtime google alerts for friendfeed.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I'm pretty sure Gillmor et al kept calling it "track" because that's what Twitter called it back when they had it for a week.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
On a related note, live embeddable searches mean that I can hack together my own FF embeds for the pages that don't have them yet, like say "comment:dpritchett" http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel, Twitter never had this - this isn't "track"
- Jesse Stay
you guys rock.
- Karoli
...wowsers! Very nice!
- JA Castillo
The blogpost said they're working to implement "keyword notifications" Jesse, that will be "track"
- Frankie Warren
Twitter's brought back track, it's just no one cares. You can now have updates by keyword on Twitter pushed to you, via XMPP, just like track used to. Gillmor says that's not track.
- Jesse Stay
That's why I hate the term "track" - no one knows what it is. The way Paul is explaining it, as real-time search, is a much better way of explaining it.
- Jesse Stay
I guess we're still missing the realtime notifications piece that folks want. You can shape the firehose to watch terms in realtime but you can't yet get it pushed outside of FF via email or IM?

I take it back - I can't integrate this into my blog until I can filter it to a single list. I really need an embed for "comment:dpritchett list:e20" except lists are still virtual in that no one other than me can see them unless I use the atom export.

You're right Jesse - it's not exactly Track but it's getting a lot closer. The old Twitter Track allowed you to set up multiple search terms (e.g. track iphone) and get those delivered to your IM with zero time lag. At any time you could type "track" to see what you're currently tracking and "untrack" to untrack something - e.g. "untrack iphone". There are some third party tools that...

"Eye-Fi has been building out its product line of memory cards that use Wi-Fi to upload photos directly from a digital camera to the Internet. Now it’s going one step further with the Eye-Fi Pro, aimed at professional photographers and enthusiasts. This new four-gigabyte card has support for a variety of files — RAW, JPEG and various video files — and well as other cool features. You can now geo-tag photos, or mark the exact location where they were taken. You can upload in a peer-to-peer fashion, meaning no wireless router is need to upload data to a computer. And you can gain easier access to Wi-Fi hot spots."

from Bookmarklet
For "pro" photographers? Not many pros use cameras that support SD afaik -- don't all the full frame cameras use CF? And wouldn't 4GB be a bit skinny from a size point of view anyway?
- Brian Sullivan
love my eye-fi card but geo tagging has been availble and working for some time now. wi fi hot spot service has lacked though so cool.
- adolfo foronda
I've been a big proponent of Eye-Fi for some time and will definitely pick up one of these cards. I shoot with the Canon 1D mark III which uses both CF & SD so the card integrates with the camera nicely. All of the 1D bodies take SD and there are adapters for CF that I am told will work. In the past, I've had my RAW files write to CF and .jpg to SD but this opens up many more options...

- Rick Bucich
I believe that they have an insert to turn this card into a CF compatible one. Not sure though. 4GB is skinny for sure, but the geotagging capabilities seem pretty cool and as far as I know this is the first time that eye-fi has supported RAW.
- Thomas Hawk
Any idea how the geo-tagging feature works? Where does the location information come from?
- Brian Sullivan
I'm not sure how it works Brian. I suspect though that it triangulates somehow with wifi hotspots and pulls geo information from there. I'd think this could be useful for ensuring that photos in a city that you weren't familiar with were geotagged.
- Thomas Hawk
Geo-tagging comes from wifi networks in the area of where the picture was taken so it does not work in remote or rural areas. The location of the wifi router is established by Skyhook Wireless. The only issue I ran into was from a recent move, all my photos at the new house were geo-tagged to the old address. It was a simple process to update the address through Skyhook however.
- Rick Bucich
I still not sure how this works. Sounds a bit Rube Goldberg to me. I presume the wi-fi hotspot location is for commercial hotspots only? In this situation there is no GPS or cell tower access info -- is that correct?
- Brian Sullivan
@Brian it's based on MAC address of the access point. Publicly transmitted beacon packets
- mjc
The whole way these cards work is a little quirky. One particularly annoying thing is that a file should just be a file as far as getting it from the card to your computer via wi-fi. For example, when I'm on my home wi-fi network, it will upload photos I've taken, but not videos... I still have to drag out the cable, so its utility for me is diminished.
- LogEx
Had a look at their info flash piece -- so from what I can tell they continuously travel around looking for routers and tag their location some other way (via GPS?) and enter them into a data base indexed by MAC address? So the location of the photos is the determined via the MAC address of the nearest Wifi locations where the pictures were taken?
- Brian Sullivan
I believe you are correct Brian - you can read more at http://www.skyhookwireless.com. Logical -Eye-Fi has added a video upload feature that can be added to prior existing cards on a subscription basis. I have my card set to upload via any unsecure network and send a text message to cell if it finds one, very handy to have all my photos uploaded by the time I get home.
- Rick Bucich
Just adding a bit about how we geo-tag -- some of the comments above are correct. The routers can be open, closed, secured, etc... It doesn't matter. The card will still pick them up since routers have a beacon that usually broadcasts 10 times a second. As long as Skyhook mapped that MAC address, and as long as we've picked it up -- you'll get geotagged. If you're in the middle of...

- Jeremiah Njoroge
Skyhook uses WiFi access point information provided by users. You can check the coverage here http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitwo... and you can also submit the location and MAC address of your own router to add to the database. I did this about 2 years ago and I'm still not listed.

It's not a tired argument, Anthony. The poor get screwed because of a lack of access to goods and services that are available to the middle class. The rich don't get screwed because they have to pay more taxes. They pay more taxes because they are well off and can afford it. The poor can't afford to pay more for food and basic services, yet that's exactly what happens. There's nothing fair or just about that.

I don't know how taxes entered the equation. This article wasn't about that nor was it about people who get hand outs. The article is about the working poor which people seem not to realize exist. It's possible to go to work every day and still be poor. It's possible to work hard for that raise you finally get and still be poor. And because they work they STILL PAY TAXES. These people don't like others who game to the system to get handouts and the like either. Is that inconceivable?

- InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
Something I find totally disgusting is that in the UK, if you have a second job you get taxed on the income of it to the point where you've effectively worked for free. There's no sliding scale based on the income of those jobs, just a flat, great big chunk. While this doesn't harm the quality of living for those that earn a considerable wage, it unfairly punishes those that need the money they earn far more.
