They look good, but I compared to Bob's Donuts, I don't think so. - John Hell
I want to do the functional equivalent of "Like" for this, without having to say I like it. - mikl-em
I'll take a side of stint with that. - Mike Lewis

Aeropress - basically a coffee syringe.
June 25 at 2:39 pm - via Reshare - Link
My first cup was an americano made with Blue Bottle Hayes Valley Espresso coffee. I had a cup of drip from the Blue Bottle cafe this morning (because of my accident with the siphon) and I have to say that the results from the Aeropress were extremely similar. - Robin Barooah
It came with a carrying bag which is useful since I'll need it at home while I wait for the new siphon funnel. - Robin Barooah
Does that make it a worthy buy? - John Samuelson
I used it again yesterday - had 3 cups during the course of the day. I have to say the results were consistently very good. It is very easy to control the amount of coffee you make and how strong it is, and it is as quick and easy to clean as they say. It also produced great results every time with no real practice - which is not true of hand dripping or siphoning. The only drawback, if you can call it that, is that it has no romance to it at all - it's almost like using a medical appliance. - Robin Barooah
LOL @ syringe... it goes PERFECTLY with the IV ;) - Mona N.
Tried this with the Jamaican Blue Mountain. Surprisingly, FAIL. It tasted good, but had none of the richness I got from dripping. The Aeropress seem to do a very good job of extracting the sweeter notes but doesn't handle the body well, so it will make an average coffee taste sweeter, but do violence to something that's already well balanced. - Robin Barooah
I think I'm going to relegate this for coffees that are past their prime. - Robin Barooah
(note: that last comment doesn't mean that I have stopped thinking this is great - I'll be using the siphon or hand dripping instead) - Robin Barooah
So you're having good luck with Blue Bottle beans, generally? That's what I'd typically be using. - Veronica
Yes, generally great with them. - Robin Barooah

You can build for the Mac via http://dev.chromium.org/develo.... - Atul Arora
He's hoping it'll be a matter of *months*??? Shameful. - Kevin Hessel
At least they have one of the creators of Camino on board, so hopefully the wait will be worth it. - Guillermo Esteves
What he should be embarrassed by is the fact that it does not work with an ISA proxy server. Who wants to use one (cool, hyped up, slim, fast) browser at home and another at work? - Alexei Tolkachev
no suprise there, there is no official Google Talk client on Mac either. And It sucks we have to wait this long for stuff. - Edgar Rodríguez

a revolution...? - Zee at WeDoCreative via Bookmarklet
It's not the looks, it's what's under the hood. - Lindsay Donaghe
yup, no diggity Lindsay - plus, I've yet to see a really slick windows app anyway... - Zee at WeDoCreative
Wait, why is everyone freaking out (other than the Google fandom)? Opera's had tabs over the address bar forever now. - Akiva Moskovitz
Based on that alone, I don't like it at all. It looks great kid learning to use the Internet, though. - Rochelle
Akiva - it has JIT-compiled Javascript! It' s a mini-.Net! You should be excited! - Lindsay Donaghe
Akiva: it's because this is from Google. Who outside of the tech echo chamber knows Opera? Very few. But who knows Google? Everyone. - Robert Scoble
@Scoble: My mother knew of Opera! Without me even telling her about it, and she's as far away from computer literate as you can get. I'm still not sure how that happened. :p - Daniel Bruce
JIT compiled javascript is incredible. it's omgwtf awesome - Tad - just Tad
it's the first thing in a while that made me think about getting a dinky little slimline windows laptop... - Zee at WeDoCreative
Daniel, I installed Opera for my mom a year or so ago. She uses both Opera and IE (not sure why she flips between the two) but she calls Opera "The O" and IE "The E". - Rochelle
Lindsay, but I'm not a Javascript programmer! Robert, I'm not sure that matters enough. The people outside of the tech echo chamber are the ones who don't see what the fuss about browsers even is; they're the ones perfectly happy with IE. - Akiva Moskovitz
Rochelle, think about it like this: your mother predicted the Google browser. A week or so ago she was having problems with a website but then said that if she opened it up in Google, it worked. 'What do you mean you opened it in Google?' 'Don't worry about it! I opened it in Google and now it works!' 'Okaaay...' - Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, you keep talking about eventually needing to become more of a UI guy, and I need to as well. Part of that process includes learning Javascript. - Tad - just Tad
skeptical: there's no search box. There has to be a search box, this is a Google Browser! - Duncan Riley
Tad, you are depressing me. But it's true: as much as I enjoy programming .NET software, I do want to get into more cross-platform technologies as long as that cross-platform technology is not Java. - Akiva Moskovitz
Duncan, it's probably combined into the address bar. Most every modern browser on the planet supports this. - Akiva Moskovitz
I don't know how to feel about this. - Brandon McCall
That's okay, Brandon. We're here to feel for you. - Akiva Moskovitz
If its fast and doesnt crash/freeze it will be my favorite browser :) - d e f c o n
Just please make it look better than Opera does on the Mac. Opera's good, but the interface on the Mac OS is so bad (and non-intuitive) that I can't bear to use it. - Cecily Walker
not the ui but more importantly separating processes, it is in this case what's up there tomorrow. - [ zu ]-eBailey
if that's really it, i'll stick with flock - faboo mama
+1 faboo - Kyle Lacy
Just finished the McCloud comic on Chrome - looks very, very exciting. Can't wait for the Mac version! I'm never one to blindly "stick with ____" until I try the new thing. The early adopter gene I have has always treated me well. If it sucks, back to Firefox 3, which I love, but I will FOR SURE be trying Chrome out on OSX launch day. Google has been way way too good to me so far... - Steve Isaacs
i want to see what's under the hood.... - Carlos Eduardo Buarque
will it be beta forever as gmail? - Carlos Eduardo Buarque
I think so, almost every google app is still in beta. lol - Ron
@Zu: That's the bit I'm really looking forward to - separated processes. The comic (or somewhere else) mentioned something about plugins - if I didn't misread, I hope there'll be some third-party plugins. - Cyvros/fyc
interseting - Mona N.
if it doesn't suck up a gazillion megabytes of memory when running it will be a strong candidate. - Morgan
IE8 Beta1&2 use a process per tab too - Nathan Howell

Flickr DNA is a pretty cool way to look at someone's flickrstream from an overview standpoint. Here's mine: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/... - Thomas Hawk
Flickr should give me this view natively. I love to see which of my photos have made it to Interesting or Explore. Cool little web app! - Josh Bancroft
I've used this before to check out some of my stats. It's unfortunate that Simon Blint is staring back at us in your "Most viewed from the past 30 days" section, but I guess it's good to keep bringing notice to the story. What a tool. ;) - Chris Luckhardt
...and since we're sharing: http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/... - Chris Luckhardt
Like the "ego surf" part at the bottom. :) Been a while since I checked it, kinda cool to see some of my photos being used by people. - Jason R. Hunter
awesome sunsets Coreburn! - Thomas Hawk
Flickr DNA rocks :) - Mike
First time seeing this - very cool. (And Thomas - no surprise, your photos rock!) - Kim Mahan
Thanks! My two other favorite toys/tools for Flickr Cooliris/PicLens (http://www.cooliris.com/) and Flickriver (http://www.flickriver.com/). - Jason R. Hunter
I have just started using Flickr (despite joining over three years ago): http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/... - CJPhoto
