Yesterday we went to my mother in law’s for a birthday party. We were excited to see that there was a pinata hanging in the dining room, until we realized that we were not six years old and as such probably wouldn’t be allowed to take shots at it with a stick.
When we lamented this [...]

I’m doing my best to, finally, get back into — very into — beer. Tomorrow I’ll be stopping into Niagara Tradition, though I can’t decide if I should get an extract kit to get back on the horse or jump straight into partial mash. We’ll see, I suppose.
So, in preparation, I headed to the closest [...]

I get very into things that I’m working on. You could say ‘obsessed’ if you’d like to water down the word, but I like to settle for ‘very into.’ Generally, one of two things happens: it settles down into a quietly roaring interest or quickly burns out. Either way is fine except for when your [...]

I bit the bullet and downloaded ecto. By the time the 21 day free trial is up I’ll either have the required $18 or be able to say ‘eh, it’s not that great.’
So far I like that you can add and remove categories from the editor (another thing Deepest Sender doesn’t do). Let’s see how [...]

There are two important things to know about me:

I am lazy
I am cheap

So, I want to be able to blog easily, but have whatever I’m using not cost anything. I’ve been using Deepest Sender, as I’ve mentioned a few times, but I think I may actually be outgrowing it. For one, now that I added [...]

I’ve considered using Google Reader for my blog reading, but ditched it because (at last check) you couldn’t order entries oldest first. I figure that there may be updates and so on, so I want to read things in the order they were posted.
The only thing I didn’t like about Bloglines is that when I [...]

I just realized that, during the course of my life, my dad has had the following hobbies:

Scuba diver
Clown
Magician
Comic Book dealer
Old time radio dealer/researcher-type-guy

Among others. Suddenly my dabbling has a genetic context (currently I podcast, play video games, do freelance web coding, plan on brewing beer again sometime soon and will be taking up drumming as [...]

I’ve never been among the rabid fans of Guinness.
It’s a decent beer, and I do like it, but I feel that it’s a bedfellow with the band Tool in the ‘Good But Not As Great As People Make It Out To Be’ category. It’s a solid stout, to be sure, and I’d drink it over [...]

I always start out wanting to catalog the hell out of things, and then gradually taper off. Dave, for instance, showed me yesterday that if you have all the actors entered into the movies in your Delicious Library then you can do a search for ‘Christian Bale’ and see what movies you own that he’s [...]
