“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer.”

He may have suspended habeas corpus, but he sure had a way with words.
The issue, as I see it, is [...]
If there are two things I love, it’s How I Met Your Mother and beer.
Allow me to rephrase before I get smacked when I get home: if there are two things I love besides my wife, it’s How I Met Your Mother and beer.
So during last night’s episode, involving the best burger in NYC, Elizabeth [...]
I know what you’re thinking:
Dan, you post too much!
I know, right? Well, because my activity on this site is so fast and furious, I thought I’d spread it out more. I’m now writing on two other sites. I never claimed to have good judgment…
Gaming Shenanigans is a new site being run by my future-brother-in-law-in-law Dave [...]
In talking with my boss yesterday about brewing in Buffalo, she reminded me that the Erie County website has a map of Buffalo from 1894. You can click on the red numebrs in each section to zoom in, and there’s a surprising amount of detail provided: the type of building, number of floors, business name, [...]
There’s a post or two itself in the train of thought of how I get here, but for now just accept that we’ve arrived.
I’ve recently started reading Shut Up About Barclay Perkins. I really should have started when I was linked to his post on whether Kolsch was an ale, but for some reason I [...]
The alt is in bottles, havign trouble carbonating because Buffalo was (until this weekend) stubbornly refusing to realize that it is May and should be warm
The American pale ale, my first all grain, is in secondary and I should probably bottle it early next week. This means I should find some bottles…
On Monday I made [...]
I think I’m sort of unofficially naming the altbier that we bottled* on Tuesday ‘the secret alt’ — I have to specificy that a beer I made has an unofficial name? I hope you see the depths of my self importance — because in stark contrast to the porter and raspberry wheat that I brewed [...]
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 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 [...]
Dan Conley has his Master of Library Science from the University at Buffalo and is currently performing various geeky and/or librarianly duties for CIRRIE.
He also enjoys talking in the third person.
And yes, he is the same Dan Conley who won the gold 1990 Nintendo World Championship cart. Then he was a silly teenager and gave it to a friend who sold it at a garage sale.
