Sep 15th 2008 8:30PM I've had that Sunset Wheat once or twice, and I'm not a fan -- I agree that the taste is kind of "off" compared to other beers. It's a spice issue.

Aug 22nd 2008 10:07PM Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is fantastic. I've seen him on The F Word, and his book "Meat" is amazing. I'll have to check this one out.

Oh, by the way, there's an $89.99 Sprint unlimited plan, too {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 2nd 2008 3:54PM Yeah, that's pretty much the SERO deal; I have a $60 version of it. Offhand, I THOUGHT the $45 version was "only" 800 minutes, and I got 1200 with mine, but I'm a bad consumer and never really check to see what my usage is, so long as my bill is about what it should be each month.
Do Blog Comments Have Value ? {Blog Maverick}
Nov 22nd 2007 11:43AM It really seems to vary wildly depending on the blog and the people who read it. Someone upthread mentioned gawker, and I agree with what they do there (and on the connected gawker media sites, like consumerist, defamer, and so on). I in general find that commenting works best in environments where people take ownership for their comments using some form of recognizable username; the "mojo" concept at dailykos, for instance, helps keep things reasonable there.
On the other hand, my experience has usually been that the style of commenting here -- fill in a field with a random name and email address, and if you want, a URL that people can be sent to if they click your name -- lends itself to spam, to trolling, and, most frustratingly, to useless comments, like "Your blog has no value" that add nothing to the discussion.
Yup, it's another beef recall {Slashfood}
Nov 4th 2007 10:12PM This one scares me; it seems the vast majority of these things involve those nasty pre-made frozen patties, but this involves the exact same meat (3 lb value packs of 80/20) that I use all year long to make my own burgers, tacos, and meatballs. I buy the package, mix it all together, form burgers, and freeze them, and I might well have some of this in my freezer now; how on earth would I know?
Gibson's Anti-Semitic Tirade -- Alleged Cover Up {TMZ}
Jul 29th 2006 11:15AM P. Dixon is right!!! Entertainers should be held to a different standard than ordinary people because they do so much to entertain us! Like, if you're a celebrity, you shouldn't get arrested for DUI with a .08! You should have to be at like, .16 before you get arrested! Entertainers do so much for us!
Bush: government research developed iPod {Engadget}
Apr 22nd 2006 11:19AM Hahaha. I hate Bush. Hate him a LOT. But this was clearly a joke.
