Beautiful designer chocolate pencil kit
7 hours ago - tokyomango.com - Link
These beautiful colored pencils are actually chocolates made by product design firm nendo in collaboration with Tsujiguchi Hironobu of Chocolat de H, a famous chocolatier in Tokyo. Each pencil is a different blend of chocolates, from mild to bitter. The kit even comes with a pencil sharpener that can be used to create shavings to decorate desserts with. Amazing! - Steven Hodson via Bookmarklet

Reinventing conservatism, one tweet at a time
Sunday at 9:25 am - arstechnica.com - via Reshare - Link
"Since the humbling results of the November election came in, the conservative movement has been scrambling to assess what happened—and to figure out how to prevent it from happening again. Much of this effort, in light of the Obama campaign's much ballyhooed online operation, has focused on closing the technology gap with the left, and getting conservative candidates and activists to make better use of new media. Hence we see sites like Top Conservatives on Twitter, meant to publicize co-partisans on the popular microblogging service and encourage others to sign up." - Colide81 (James)
The level of ignorance amongst the majority of conservatives in this area is almost incomprehensible. There is much work to do. - Peter Simard
Though it's important that we conservatives use the net more, the bigger goal should be to stick to conservative core values. Don't think the we need to change either, Obama didn't get elected cause we stuck to our values, but because we didn't. When comparing Obama and McCain even liberals admited they saw no difference between the two other then Obama said it all better. If we don't learn to stick with conservative values, and elect a conservative in the primarys, then we will have accomplished nothing . - Colide81 (James)
Even if we get our message out over twitter, facebook and etc, if we don't stick to the values of Reagan we are just like the libs. May we not forget that!!!! - Colide81 (James)
I'm not sure Reagan is the ideal model. He was very interventionist in foreign policy, something conservatives should be opposed to. Conservatism needs to be a whole lot less about ideology and a lot more about principles. - Peter Simard
Closing the technology gap will allow normal Americans, who don't think of themselves as right or left, to engage with conservative thought. - Daltonsbriefs
@Peter Simard Ok tell me some principles. Lay out your conservative platform. - Colide81 (James)
Colide81: The principles I start from are those outlined by Russell Kirk. I think that is as good a starting point as any and better than most. http://www.kirkcenter.org/kirk... - Peter Simard

“When I went to church God never listened to me but http://twitter.com/god @god does on Twitter.”
Saturday at 11:30 pm - Link
Someone smart I know runs this account. The stories he tells me about it is very interesting. People tweet him requests for help and he answers them. - Robert Scoble
there are quite a few do-gooders and selfless citizens hidden amongst the Twitter masses. It's a wonder to find such people to follow. check out @hardlynormal for one. - Andy Sternberg
Like a social media Dear Abby? There's also http://twitter.com/thankgod, which tracks everything people are thanking God for. Interesting to watch: a mixture of the irreverent, the gracious, and the sarcastic. - Mark Trapp
God told me there is also @almightygod. - Robert Scoble
That's interesting. Another FFer here tweeted about this account and said there's another one @almightygod Edit: shoot. Cross-post. - Spidra Webster
Mr. Scoble- that was the funny- "God told me there is also@almightgod" - Enriqueta
God listened every time. Did you listen for Him? - Nate True
What am I, chopped liver? You are so not getting a chocolate Easter bunny this year. - TweetJeebus
Enriqueta I am talking with @god right now. He was at a party that Geoffrey Arone @fredo threw for a bunch of MIT Students. Arrington was here earlier too. - Robert Scoble
You really want to follow @god. He is going to hand out beta invites for something that's VERY cool. - Robert Scoble
LOL I have same type of authority http://twitter.com/almightygod ~ this is going to cause religious strife in twitter land ~ who's god is better - sofarsoshawn
Nate: I wasn't following @god back then. Now I am. - Robert Scoble
I wonder if @god can baptize ppl through twitter. - steve
your god sounds cooler ~ mine's really churchy: no beta invites etc, time to switch god's maybe - sofarsoshawn
I just hope I never have to block god. God knows what might happen. - Peter Svensk
LOL @tweetjeebus ! - BEX
If I'm ever blocked, I'm going to use all caps to ask why he's forsaken me! - MiɳiMagɘ is EnderMage
God: The Next Generation. God goes digital. haha - steve
Already following several Gods, @almightygod is arguing with @god as we speak. There is a guy called @Jesus who only has thirteen followers. - Chris Loft
Those thirteen followers are his apostles. Is it sacrilegious to follow multiple Gods? Polytheism? - steve
I would never even fathom the idea of creating any type of account with @God, @Jesus, @Almighty, etc... in the name. That's just me though. - frank barry
People actually find this humorous? - Hugh Briss
Hugh: it's not funny. All that I wrote tonight is true. Humans are funny. - Robert Scoble
Still, if you're going to believe in things you can't see, one that actually answers back has got to be a bonus - Duncan Riley
hahahhahahahahhahaha Robert!!! LOL!! - Mona N.
theres a god on twitter!!!? lol gotta try the devil - Mystika
What about the fsm? - MarkCarras
I could make a figurative "Deal with the Devil" and when i say Devil, I mean Twitter Devil and when I say figurative I mean get your coat. - Matthew DeVries
So Twitter Jews believe that @jesus existed and was a very good tweeter, but simply wasn't the son of @god? - Matthew DeVries
god goes digital!!! that was so funny! Matthew you mean to say Jewish im sure i back up all my frndz from all religions so be nice - Mystika
I deny the existence of @god ! - Kevin Leroux
LOL +1 Kevin - rowlikeagirl
As they say in A Course in Miracles, God created man, and man promptly returned the favor. - Jimmy Walker

“I am getting a demo of something that will addict me much more than friendfeed in 2009. This is NOT good.”
Saturday at 11:37 pm - Link
I was waiting for something like that to come along. Something to replace FriendFeed for you? - Mark Trapp
You tease. - Steve Isaacs
Care to share what that might be? - Michael Krigsman
Whatever it is must be seriously good. - G. Saunders
What is that??? - Palak Mathur
I can't talk for a few weeks. But you will be addicted. I guarantee that. - Robert Scoble
Wake me up when you're not embargoed. - Akiva Moskovitz
And it doesn't replace twitter or friendfeed. - Robert Scoble
What is it? Give us the scoop - streetforce1
Do tell. Wow, it's not even out yet and I'm getting addicted to it. You're right! - Melik Yuksel
Interesting, no hints even - Andrew Windham
@Robert - will it do my laundry for me? AND fold it? - Andy Sternberg
Uh oh. Do we need another intervention?! - Daynah
By the way @god is in charge of the beta invites. So, you better follow God. Also MC Hammer is standing with me right now. He has a few invites to hand out soon too. @mchammer (say hi). - Robert Scoble
Oy. As long as the addiction starts in mid-Feb, I'm game. - Tamar Weinberg
I already know I'm not going to like it - Bwana
Spill it Scoble! - Mike Flynn
Not the Hair-Ron? - Christopher Harley
Hammer gave you crack? - Andrew Smith
Is it bigger than a breadbox? Bigger than a Subaru? - Rob Schieber
Mike: @god said I would go to hell if I broke embargo. He also said that he new @techcrunch couldn't handle the temptation. - Robert Scoble
I'm not religious, but I grew up in a Baptist household and am still hung up enough that I can't follow @god. - MiɳiMagɘ is EnderMage
Don't tease us Scoble. Spill the beans! :) - Bryan Lee
When is the video coming so we can all check it? can you tell who ever it is to make sure it works nice with Twitter and that they put together a few videos on 'how to' use it so we can pick it up without thinking. (OK, maybe i'm being pushy) - frank barry
Uhhh ohhhh. Sounds disruptive. - Eric Florenzano
Robert, please be so kind to notify us (or at least point it out) when it does become public. I would like to see if it lives up to what you say it is. - Michael Forian
Did this one make you cry? :) - Chris Johnson
Gist? - Chris Herbert
So do you really think it will be an improvement upon friendfeed? or just different? - lucinda
Not fair Robert! This is what leads to an "unfollowing" ;) Gemini's do not deal well with suspense! - Glen Meyburgh
Quick ... does anyone know any reverse psychology? - Richard Filing
Well, if you move to it, I'll have to start tracking it, damn, one more service. - Alex Wilhelm
Michael: yeah, of course I'll let you know when it's out. Chris, no, this one didn't make me cry. I feel more like a crack addict who just got shown a new drug. I can't resist. - Robert Scoble
The gist? I don't want to anger @god -- he might not let me onto the beta. So far there are 50 people on it, and the addiction scales are off the charts. - Robert Scoble
Robert: Nothing wrong with tech crack :) Looking forward to hearing what it is. - Chris Johnson
Is that even possible, Scoble? How much room do you have for addictions? - Logan Leger
"You can't touch this....until...???" - Dennis Goedegebuure
Per MForian, maybe create a hashtag for this one so we know when it's real and can peg it back to this post. There's an old riddle: "how do you keep a moron in suspence for 24-hours?" answer: "tell you tomorrow." - mark silva
Don't tell me its about World Wide Telescope again. After your hype (you said you were in tears), eventually it turned out to be a duh moment for me. http://scobleizer.com/2008/02/... - Puneet Thapliyal
Puneet: no, this is far more real-time-web and addicting than anything Microsoft could do. - Robert Scoble
damn Robert! NOW am really intrigued. Pray tell.. - Asfaq
It's BaconFeed. - Mitch Wagner
Mitch: you have no idea how close you are. Mona will be one of the first addicts. So will Louis. My brother will probably call it lame. - Robert Scoble
..what everyone wants to know is...did it make you cry? haha... - Lee Hsieh
Sounds like a cult - just curious - is this the same guy Loren talked to? - Jesse Stay
So it's addictive, doesn't replace twitter nor friendfeed, is it another social status publishing platform? - Rida Al Barazi
lay of the smack ;) - sofarsoshawn
Jesse: @god says that @1938media is not trustworthy but I agree that this new thing could be a cult (hey, is friendfeed a cult?). Rida: um, no. - Robert Scoble
It's it just more addictive, or is it more useful as well? It's important to realize that there's a difference. - Daniel Miessler
friendfeed is the begging to something very exciting and new. Real-time web. - steve
Daniel: hmmm, is Twitter or friendfeed useful? If you answer yes then you'll find this useful too. - Robert Scoble
Steve: you mean IRC.. :p - Asfaq
Tell me it's not heroine, is it? - Meric Kara
asfaq: IRC died a while ago(IM took over) The problem with IRC was it had a very simplistic and crude form of identity. Now way to track or follow. :) - steve
Will this help business or something that's fun only? How can I get on the list to get a beta invite? I can't imagine something being better than FriendFeed - is that really possible?? - Jannifer Stoddard
I think the line between fun and Business is shrinking. We already see this with corporations using twitter internally. - steve
Gerardo: no. Come on, be serious. Jannifer: does Twitter help business? Does friendfeed? Does facebook? - Robert Scoble
Scoble's found the stealth startup that's finally perfected teledildonics and is getting a demo!?!? - Dossy Shiobara
Is it dancejam.com which mchammer is working on? - shedali via Nambu
I hope it's not another PeopleBrowsr - Bwana
I agree with Mitch. It's BaconFeed. Push a button on the screen, and bacon comes out the DVD drive. I can't wait! :D - Chris Charabaruk for Hire
Please don't bring it up if you can't talk about it. Not cool. - rowlikeagirl
This really isn't good. I already spend more time than should be allotted on FriendFeed. =[ - deepikaur
Can't wait to hear about it, Robert. I love shiny-shinies - a bit of a beta testing addict here :) - Susanne "Renee" Bullo
Does this mean you'll abandon the teat of the FF suckle, and move onto something more personal? - Mike Shields
Suspense is killing me... - Jordi Soler
i don't believe you robby. - jvon
@god has protected his twitter updates !! pls teach him to play this game !! addiction is killing me !! ,,, need a beta invite dosis, lol ! - Rocky

That's a typical PETA tactic. Which is why they are so hard to take seriously. They definitely jumped the shark. - Ugly Jilly

Just when you thought there were no more ways to annoy people, there's breast milk ice cream. It's not easy being annoying. - Jimmy Walker

It looks so tiny! Not even enough for one tooth. - Yolanda

Maybe you've just grown? - todd
Thanks Todd....and perhaps that would be true except that these weren't around prior to me hitting puberty. - Mark Krynsky
downsized servings are not a good sign. - Carolyn Chan
It's when they put it on the dollar menu. I get two, or a Sausage McMuffin! - Eric @ CS Techcast
If McDonalds is responding to the economic downturn by reversing the super size phenomenon we're screwed. - Mark Krynsky
LOL, that expression is classic - Bwana
Yogurt Parfait? That's an awfully big name for such a little bite. - Steven Perez
Bwana...that's my WTF face. - Mark Krynsky
McDonald's is pitiful. - MiɳiMagɘ is EnderMage
This is a regular feature on Consumerist.com It's called "The Grocery Shrink Ray". Shrinking size while keeping the price the same. - Spidra Webster
It didn't get smaller. You got bigger. - Louis Gray
Hahaha love the expression - Mo Kargas
Awesome photo...LOL. Priceless expression - Rahsheen ™
Try potato crisps in the UK. It seems that you get fewer in the bag (and more air) every year, and they keep bring in "New Bigger Size!"/"Share Size" bags with the same amount of crisps as the previous size of "regular" bag, but with even more air... Ridiculous. - Tyson Key
You gotta post a pic of the potato crisps Tyson. We don't have those. - Mark Krynsky
Louis that topic has already been covered. Thank you come again :) - Mark Krynsky
are you sure you didn't go to the McDonalds in Smurfland? - Andy Sternberg
@Mark - McDonald's doesn't sell them, as far as I know. Although I'm sure that most stores sell them over there... - Tyson Key
Maybe u grew up! - BEX
Bex, I'm never going to grow up :) - Mark Krynsky
Mark I love the WTF face, yeah they shrunk those and the fruit and walnut salads, I do wish more alternatives to fried items were offered in fast food resturants - Bryan
awww its so itty bitty! haha - *Tiffany Diamond*
fast food restaurants have found that offering healthy items leads to customers not disappearing because the food is unhealthy AND then the customers continue to get the unhealthy food regardless. Amazing. - Nation Hahn
Heh, reminds me of McDonald's in the UK selling salads recently, and some watchdog/industry body reckoned that they had as much fat, if not more (because of all the additional dressing) as a standard burger. How ironic, given that they were touting it as a "healthy option". - Tyson Key
