Compari Liqueur Will Make Coffee Hooch, Illyquore

Compari Liqueur Will Make Coffee Hooch, Illyquore: "Campari, the Italian liqueur company is blending with Illy to give you a better buzz two ways. Together, they will make a new coffee liqueur drink called Illyquore."

Humm, I see that Starbucks and Godiva are already in this nitch. Hope they keep some herbal bitter in the mix, otherwise it won't be good for much more than a bump in the x-tini, sex-on-the-x, and Aqualung family of spew.

On the other foot, maybe they'll spike interest and we'll get another entry in the beer family like Redhook Doubleblack Stout

Emily the Strange Film

Emily the Strange Film: "Counterculture icon Emily the Strange will soon star in a long-anticipated feature film, and Dark Horse Entertainment President Mike Richardson has signed on as the film’s produce"

Nice! If doomed ...

Hell's Kitchen The Game

Hell's Kitchen The Game: "Hell’s Kitchen is a US TV phenomenon as renowned Gordon Ramsay puts aspiring chefs through a rigorous culinary bootcamp. Experience the show's pressure-cooker atmosphere as you go through a series of kitchen and dining room challenges."

Those willing to fork up $19.99 can get the "uncensored" version with "language not suitable for all audiences

Buh? So many things wrong with this that the head spins.

Twitter Status - With friends tab and feeds

Twitter Status - With friends tab and feeds: "Recently we made a change to remove the With Friends tab from user profiles. We did this after finding out that this tab was both a relatively rarely accessed as well as computationally expensive page for us to serve. At the same time we removed access to the feeds for this page."

Doh! Loose your feed, loose your friends. Sheesh, do people actually use the UI and page back though messages?

Guess I'm getting my Twitter via a feed from http://friendfeed.com/?service=twitter

Plurk.com

Plurk.com storm on Twitter and Friendfeed ... may as well play along!

A couple of user lists

The Facebook Blog | Facebook

The Facebook Blog | Facebook: "A recent place where we've been fighting the spam battle has been through sites that ask for a user's login information to use a contact importer, and then spam all of their friends. Right now, the sites that are asking for this information, and that we are blocking as a result, gain complete access and control over your account when you enter your login info—your photos, your private messages, and your friends."

Well, it's a good start for one of the super-powers to take issue with the practice. Even if they still have a Friend Finder begging for email passwords.

Papers Written by Googlers

Papers Written by Googlers: "Below is a partial list of publications by people after joining Google, organized by category."

Whoa, dunno how I missed this section. New Feed!

RSS Feed Mayhem

[scribkin] RSS Feed Mayhem: "A radical new plan was hatched that we both agreed to abide by, starting today. We would dump all our RSS feeds out of Google Reader and only add new feeds based on a set of rules:"

Whoa, Drastic. I've certainly got too many unsorted/ignored feeds and need to get some filing done. Some odd combination of grazr, toluu, shyftr I think ...

Feedalizr

Feedalizr version 1.1.2 alpha: "you can now post directly to Jaiku from the feedalizr interface."

A Jaiku client is keen, a usable app for Friendfeed would rock. However, the thing that kills the app is the cursed flashy blinking taskbar in windows. After every update, toasters on or not, you have to poke at the taskbar icon to make it stop with the blinking. I want a partial attention app, not one that demands clicks.

That's three sad little Friendfeed air icons sitting on the desktop unused.

twitter has a tumblr?

Twitter / Jack Dorsey: "We now have a status tumblr!: http://status.twitter.com/. We'll be updating it on the regular."

Twitter tumbles as it falls down!

Blame FriendFeed

Blame FriendFeed: "FriendFeed is Twitter, only slower. Here’s my demo of the difference between FriendFeed and Twitter:

Twitter: Hi, I’m having Sugar Pops for breakfast.

Ten minutes later….

FriendFeed: Hi, I’m having Sugar Pops for breakfast."

Heh! Have to Hide with Extreme Prejudice.

Eater SF: The Best Bars in America

Eater SF: The Best Bars in America: Esquire Magazine picks Zeitgeist as one of the Best Bars?

Esquire. Best. Zeitgeist. Pick one.

Twitter Blog

Twitter Blog: "We've gone through our various databases, caches, web servers, daemons, and despite some increased traffic activity across the board, all systems are running nominally. The truth is we're not sure what's happening. It seems to be occurring in-between these parts."

Eww. That's gotta leave a warm fuzzy in the hearts of a stack of developers. Ah, well, better ever than sooner.

Twitter: An admission of failure, a call for help

Love the headless tweet image!

Epic

Robert Scoble - FriendFeed

"You used the word 'collection' for business cards of people. What's the epic rare foil collectible in that mix? :) - Eric Rice

Woz's card. Hehehh. - Robert Scoble"

Oh! Just so.

Social networking can prove guessing game

Business Edge News Magazine - Social networking can prove guessing game: "Joey Scarface has invited you to join his network on CosaNostra.com. Click here to accept his kind invitation. Click here to decline and get whacked."

Heh! That's what all bacn should be, more pointy.

Facebook Smackdown

Facebook Developers | Facebook Developers News: "Now that Google has launched Friend Connect, we’ve had a chance to evaluate the technology. We’ve found that it redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge, which doesn’t respect the privacy standards our users have come to expect and is a violation of our Terms of Service."

Whoa, Godzilla noises all around. Set Techmeme on stun.

The Social Platform PR Wars Continue: Facebook Bans Google Friend Connect

* Thur May 8: MySpace announces its “Data Availability” initiative, whereby it will share public user profile data with partner sites like Yahoo, eBay, and Twitter.
* Fri May 9: Facebook announces its “Facebook Connect” initiative, which will let third party developers access Facebook user profile and friend data.
* Mon May 12: Google announces its “Friend Connect” initiative, which will let users do much of the same thing through an OAuth/OpenID/OpenSocial system administered by Google.

via Facebook Developers News. Seems like the first time that I've gotten news from the primary source in months.

ZOMBIE

DM's Esoteric Programming Languages - ZOMBIE: "ZOMBIE is a programming language designed for Necromancers, particularly evil ones. (Actually, what other sorts are there?) ZOMBIE is an acronym, and stands for Zombie-Oriented Machine-Being Interface Engine."

ZOMBIE runs in a multithreaded environment. Several entities may be animated at once, and each may perform multiple tasks at once. The relative speeds and orders in which the entities perform tasks is undefined, and should not be relied on by the programmer.

Entities and their tasks may be active or inactive. An active entity is one which has been animated, disturbed, or is free-willed. A zombie or ghost that has been summoned and bound is inactive. An active task is one that has been animated; an inactive task is one that has been bound, or that the entity has completed.

Ha! How much fun. I'll have to poke at this on some sunny day to see it work.

Severed Ways

Severed Ways

In 1007 AD on the mainland of North America, two stranded Vikings search against all odds to find their way home. As they struggle to survive in the vast forests of the New World, their paths diverge as one pursues a spiritual quest and the other reverts to his primal instincts.

YouTube - Severed Ways: The Norse Discovery of North America

"A full speed ahead Viking epic complete with nordic ballads and metal from the likes of Morbid Angel."
