Episode 3 of Greg and Emily's date is up. There's a lot of cheese, noodles, and suggestive shit. If we weren't alone at home ourselves, we'd give this one of those totally rah-rah positive treatments that blogs love to hand out for the hell of it.
Don't know why Emily and Greg are? You owe yourself a trip to the Video Fridge.

the fridge is open!
The promised video archive is up and running! It's called the Video Fridge. Look, there it is, right next to the Members tab!
In the Fridge, you can see episodes in chronological order, without giving away the ending! (And, yeah, Matt, your ep was the first one up there.)
It's still slightly beta -- I had to hack blip.tv's default embed code for Firefox compatibility, and I'm not yet sure how it plays with MSIE; but, seriously, if you're hip enough for Feed Me, you're hip enough for Firefox). Look and branding of the players should, I hope, be updated to match the single-player theme shortly.
UPDATE: the look and branding problem is now solved, despite the ELIZA-like quality of blip.tv's tech support, and the croissant-like quality of the player generator. Here's the trick: don't use the embed code generated when you create a playlist. Not only does it not work for Firefox, it's unbrandable. Instead, create your playlist, then go into the player generator, duplicate a working player, give it a new name, make it a playlist player, and pick out the playlist you want to use it with. One player per playlist. After doing this several times and getting something almost, but not quite, completely unlike the desired player, the player generator will finally smile on you and create a nice, FF-friendly code snippet that you can paste right into your HTML page without further modification.

lunchtime lusciousness
Hey Feed Me Show Fans,
Episode 2 of Emily and Greg's adventure in Seduction (that's the name of the casserole... ahem) is now online. Watch and learn a little about raw milk cheese, a lot about garlic, some disquieting -- and yet nostalgic -- things about Brooklyn in the '50s, and the reason for that magnificent mound of noodles' sultry name.
Upcoming features: archives are in the works, and should be online before the week is out. We'll update you when.
As an aside, before it becomes Part of the Official Policy Statement, please make sure that your profile picture is of yourself: not your dog, not your sink, not those delicious beets at the greenmarket; just you. This is important, and it comes from a place of being a notorious dog-picture-poster. Thanks for your cooperation.
Now go get casserole crazy!

how casserole crazy are you?
Our Supreme Mistress of Baked Cheesy Goodness -- and star of this week's webisodes, featured on our front page -- Emily "Casserole Crazy" Farris, has opened the box of noodles on entries for her Fourth Annual Casserole Party/bake-off, to be held Monday, November 10, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. at Brooklyn Label at 180 Franklin Street in g-luscious, g-lorious, g-louted Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Register early and often here.
Are you some kind of effete, over-educated Northeastern food snob who nonetheless can't bear to be shown up by a bunch of down-home casserole-chomping Midwesterners at their own game? Get all the help you need in Ms. Farris' book, which you can buy right here.
back online, adding functionality
Feed Me: the Brooklyn Cooking Dating Show -- and, may we add, the original Internet cooking-dating show -- is back online!* We're posting new webisodes each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
New functionality on the way:
- Archive player. So you can see more than just today's webisode.
- Press page. We got good press. Our old CMS made this easy to show. Ning... not so much. Working on a fix.
C'mon down! Sign up! It's free!
* not that we were ever offline. It's more that we're up and running for our lives again.

relaunch 10/13!
Media mailing problem: solved.
The resolution turned out to be easier than imagined, and could be easily handled with dyndns' webhop redirect feature -- no Postfix hackery required. So, you can now email photos and videos right from your phone to the address assigned you by the social network, say, joecoo123@feedmeshow.ning.com (notice that it's @feedmeshow.ning.com, not @feedmeshow.com).
Oh yeah, and the iPhone login still works. :)

iphone goodness and assorted hackage
Thanks to Ning's latest release, feedmeshow.com has iphone support! Just point your shiny pocket appliance to http://feedmeshow.com/m and soak in the mobile goodness. Well, not total goodness -- it doesn't do much in the way of video display, but we'll get that elsewhere.
Current technical issues:
- still working on a fix for the ability to email photos, etc. Any Feeders out there aces with Postfix?
