Re: Jason Lawrence embarrasses the motocross community once again
July 6 at 7:00 pm - Link
"Like I said in my post, I support Jason's riding abilities 100%, he is a great rider and has potential to make a huge impact on the motocross community. However, you have to remember that he is a professional athlete who gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to support his sponsors in a positive manner, and he is not doing that at the moment. He is not a normal young adult who can party and make stupid mistakes and not worry about the consequences. He has an obligation to his supporters and to the sport. He does put excitment into motocross, but this time he has gone too far. He should realize what is appropriate as a professional athlete and what is not. I hope he can make a recovery from his recent actions. Nevertheless, thanks for the comment, and I respect your opinion." - Mike Martin

“Yeah It's official I prefer this to twiiter. So much tighter. People have to get over the number of followers they have on twitter and all the bs about conversations. You and your friends will find each other here.”

it's just easier to make a conversation here, yet twitter is still my favorite. - Orli Yakuel
I prefer twitter, but that is just me, I already have a following on twitter that is hard to remake on friendfeed - Mike Martin
I understand considering I have spent 10 times more time on FF in the last week than Twitter. The conversations are great. I am trying to drill down a bit though and see if there is a differentiation that is an advantage to Twitter. "X is used for... and Y is used for...." - Adam Helweh
The only reason I visit Twitter is to update my status or to check replies because they aren't so easy to check here. - Aaron Myers

“Do you allow video comments on your blog? What gadget / plug-in do you use?”
July 3 at 8:35 pm - Link
I just started allowing them, I use Seesmic - Summer
I've been eyeballing the Seesmic WordPress plug-in. How's it working for you? - Ed Healy
Show 8 more comments
I'm using Seesmic via Disqus at 1FPS. Didn't realize there were even any other video commenting services. Are there? - David Chartier
Dunno, David. That's part of the reason for my question. I'd love to offer video comments on a blog, but don't want to choose... "unwisely." How's Seesmic working for you? - Ed Healy
I haven't had anyone use it on my blog yet, but I've loved using it on other's blogs. And it was super easy to install. - Summer
video comments on other people's blog have been known to freeze my browser so I wouldn't implement this on my own yet. - Andy Roberts
Video comments? I haven't even heard of them outside YouTube. - Daniel Schildt
Haven't heard of them but sounds pretty neat. - ChaCha Fance via Alert Thingy
No i do not because i use disqus which supports seesmic which is terrible - Mike Martin
Is there a method/plug-in for Blogger? I'd guess that Google would find a way, since they own both Blogger and Youtube... - Joseph Z.
You'd think so but no. I hardly ever comment on Blogger blogs because the commenting mechanism and defaults are so useless. - Andy Roberts
The thing that would put me off is the sheer amount of time it would take to review and respond to video feedback. Has anyone who uses it found this to be a problem? - Winston
I allow for video replies through Disqus but I rarely get comments so it doesn't get much love! - Joe Dawson

And here's what theStar.com (newspaper) had to say about the pricing in Canada... - James Burchill via Bookmarklet
For anyone that is complaining that we have to pay $10 to $20 more on our data plan should read TheStar.com article that James posted, and stop your whining. Yes we are going to pay more, however, we are getting more than we did with the original iPhone. - Gerard Lagana
surprisingly, the rates are not as outrageous as I expected... - Mike Martin

“Hey blog folk, I'm tempted to do my first meme. Is this uber dated and lame, or is it still an acceptable thing to do? Thanks for any input!”
June 27 at 3:09 pm - Link
eh memes are old...I would advise against it - Mike Martin
Thanks for the feedback Mike. I'm simmering on a similar (yet more inventive) alternative. - John Frenette

"Maybe the rain will mix up the results a little bit, maybe we can see some other winners besides Villopoto and Stewart. They are great riders, but It would be great to see some fresh faces on top of the box" - Mike Martin

Re: Going green in motocross; why motocross needs a Tesla
June 12 at 6:18 pm - Link
"The technology of motocross has been so stagnant for so long, the standard motor inside of a metal frame with two wheels, that If these new radical designs come out they could possible reshape the motocross world radically. Hopefully some company comes out with a good, solid electric motorcross bike that has the ability to be raced by beginners and pros alike." - Mike Martin

"I still think that he will face more troubles as the season progresses. He has always had a hard time holding it together throughout the season. Seasoned vets like tim ferry will be better in the long haul. After a few years, once alessi gains some experience He will be a threat, but right now, not so much" - Mike Martin

"Eh I have heard that all over the internet and I don't believe it at all. Alessi has never lived up to his potential in all his years as a pro. He has always had to potential to be the best but has never lived up to it. If he couldn't beat Villopoto there is no way he can beat Stewart, especially this year." - Mike Martin
