Doesn't age in the bottle, unfortunately, only in the keg. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
Given to me as a going-away gift from my employees when I left the UK to move to so-called "California" - llebpmaC nelG
I have a Cuban cigar that would go great with this! :-) - Robert Scoble
That looks wonderful. - Josh
Boy, Robert, what a great idea. Shame you're all the way up the peninsula, and I'm no longer fit for driving.... - llebpmaC nelG
20 year old Sheeps Dip and a Cohiba. Nice after dinner conversation with a business competitor I haven't talked to in 10 years. - Mark VandenBerg
I still have not acquired a taste for scotch whiskey. I have to assume this is good stuff though. Someday, I'll get turned on proper to this stuff. - Pete Delucchi
Pete: this stuff is pretty good. I prefer Oban, though. Most people don't acquire the taste. A Scottish gentleman took me through a whole bunch at a Microsoft MVP conference and I've been hooked ever since. - Robert Scoble
My favorite is Laphroaig. This was just a gift from my guys. - llebpmaC nelG
I still prefer a good old fashioned bourbon, but that's just the yankee in me, I suppose. - Pete Delucchi
I prefer a good rum like Zaya, or a good Tequila like Tesoro, but that's just me. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
Don't get me wrong: I have a bottle of Maker's Mark on my desk at work. But I was introduced to the joys of single-malt Scotch whisky by a friend named Derek who was born about 2 miles from the Glenfidditch distillery. What a great evening, as best as I can remember. - llebpmaC nelG
Pete, there is probably a whisky that would fit your taste. The good stuff is the stuff that you enjoy drinking. The range of flavors that can be developed from three ingredients is quite amazing. - Jeremy Brooks
I seldom drink liquor, but a good single malt is a wonderful treat - Ian May
If its made in Scotland, it's all right by me. :) Our Irish Lion here has probably had a tasting on it sometime in the past. But I never go so, that'sa guess on my part. - Melanie Reed

Funds Misappropriated at 2 Nonprofit Groups - NYTimes.com

"The groups, Acorn, one of the country’s largest community organizing groups, and the Points of Light Institute, which works to encourage civic activism and volunteering, have dealt with the problems in very different ways. Acorn chose to treat the embezzlement of nearly $1 million eight years ago as an internal matter and did not even notify its board. After Points of Light noticed financial irregularities in early June, it took less than a month for management to alert federal prosecutors, although group officials say they have no clear idea yet what the financial impact may be." - llebpmaC nelG via Bookmarklet
What, no comments? It's ACORN, the community organizer thing that Obama used to work with. - llebpmaC nelG

llebpmaC nelG, please just email me. I'm always looking for good profiles people can learn from. As boobies allow of course. - todd

Do you have some statistics to prove that your most-commented item is boobies? I see a lot of your comments on thoughtfully written posts about politics, the economy, technology and so forth. I think you're over-analyzing your devotion to boobies, not that there's anything wrong with that. - Pete Delucchi
I am not nearly sober enough to prove anything at the moment. Let me get back to you on that. - llebpmaC nelG
I would hazard a guess that most of the men and 35% of the women on friendfeed are devoted to "teh bewbs" - Mark VandenBerg

anna, they claim that I'm in California, too. But should we trust them? - llebpmaC nelG
Yes, because the theme song to The OC is called California. If it was on The OC it's real! - Mark Wilson

No, not really. It really should be three states: Southern California, Northern California, and Far Northern California. - Victor Ganata
@You Betcha - it's an odd thing, growing up and living in the same state, you never know if you're really there because you haven't been anywhere else... - anna awesomesauce
yes. I saw it on a map once, and I once saw a movie that was allegedly shot there. So i'm inclined to support the Cali hypothesis. - john conroy
sorry. stealing the thread a bit to say: Glen, every time I see the you betcha in your handle i end up giggling. so thank you for that! ♥! - .·*♥pea♥*·.

That's odd...I've been a long time customer of theirs and have never received spam from them. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
I agree with Alex. That's very odd. I've bought things from New Egg (customer since 2001) and I've never even received an email beyond confirmation of purchase. I don't even receive any promo emails from them. - Faboo Mama
...ditto the above comments. Never a problem with Newegg. - JA Castillo
Same here. Also, it's another reason why you should always use e-mail aliases when signing up for any site. If they spam you, sell your name to a spammer, or if their e-mail list gets hacked, you never have to worry about it; you just kill the alias and go on with a happy life. - Akiva Moskovitz

“Has Sarbanes-Oxley helped, hurt, or was neutral? I.e., have the changes put in place by SOX actually prevented the current market decline from being worse than it would have been otherwise? Or did they make it worse? Or have no effect?”

Hurt. Horrible piece of legislation. - Dave Roth

ironic how the people who created SOX are the people who created the issue to begin with. SOX should be applied to Govt as well; it does in theory - prevent employees from taking bribes for pushing sales - clarke thomas
It didn't do anything other than create additional burden and paperwork on businesses. It didn't address the root problems that caused Enron, etc. - Alex "Chameleon" Scoble
Um, it taught some old dogs new tricks when it comes to the money and paper shuffle. So I guess to them it was helpful. Not so much for the rest of us. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
It redirects a lot of design decisions through lawyers who apparently use a random number generator to decide what SOX really means. Everything takes longer, is more complicated, and less functional than it could be. - todd
it did create a massive overhead with paperwork and data requirements - clarke thomas

hey Rob... putting the family money into bonds is not a political statement... it was my parent's money and they lost the family fortune back in 1987. What little we have left now we aren't going to be gamblers with. I don't care who is to blame... the fact is that the market doesn't look like a place where you want to bet your child's future on right now. - AnotherⓃⓄⒶⒽ
