 Valleywag makes fun of 2 friends in 2 hours  

I thought it was weird when Valleywag posted about Bob & Jameson playing poker as 'news'.

This is just weirder - within 2 hours they make fun of 2 friends.

Charles Forman needs testers for Tetris imitation


I received this email from a friend who was invited to try out New York-based jerky-jerky entrepreneur Charles Forman's new Tetris ripoff, Blockles.

Valleywag and Charles never get along well. Chuck made some 'box art' on Blockles that read "Confidential: Do not post on valleywag, techcrunch, or any other sites run by homos". ( you can see the image here - http://static.iminlikewithyou.com/blocklesboxart.jpg ). Valleywag ran the image for a while, but then stopped - i think they realized it was making fun of them. Ha.

$25 for anyone who can get this guy a date


Brett Petersel can gather most of the New York tech scene on a whim, organizing events such as October's Lunch 2.0 in Soho and last month's Web 2.0 Social Networking Tech Meetup in Chelsea. But the guy can't can't get a date. So he's decided to pay for one. "I will give $25 (US) to anyone who sets me up on a date, and then another $25 (US) if a second date occurs," Petersel wrote in a Facebook note. Here's the whole ad.

So how about it: Can you help a brother geek out?

I wonder if Bett has any ulterior motives ;)
