Lime Barley Salad

Sunday, March 30th, 2008

My internal combustion engine has been firing on all cylinders today. I've been going for health and whipped this up with some left-overs: a lime-barley salad. Whisk in a mixing bowl: Juice of 1/2 a small lime 1/6 to 1/3 of a cup of olive oil Pepper to taste Then add and stir into the ...

Monday, March 24th, 2008

It's been a busy few weeks. Lets see... At work - we're making a concerted effort at work to get our product development cycle to the "Feature Complete" state. This means that all the prescribed features are implemented and that after this date (3/31), we will be in stabilization ("polishing up") ...

RIP Beer Fest

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

Turns out that I didn't miss Beer Fest after all.  It closed. That just goes to show that a questionable location and zero marketing will always be a death knell to a fledgling business. All the same, however, my friends and I will miss the atmosphere and beer selection. RIP Beer Fest ...

Nice Cones

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

It's like tasting freedom, one scoop at a time.I have sampled Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream, and let me tell you, freedom tastes sweet. A near impossible find (made more possible by virtue of my proclamation to the contrary), Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream is a delight once you do. Our good ...

It’s gone.

My growler of Mac and Jacks African Amber ale is now gone. It was good while it lasted. ... and the world wept. That is all.

Back from Seattle

Monday, January 29th, 2007

I'm back from Seattle (as of last night). I had a great time. Many thanks to Shane for showing me around the area -- especially Mac and Jacks and The Tap House. That was some damn fine beer and food. I'm also happy to report that my growler made the trip ...

Washington and Beer

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

"Zantar is a gelatinous cube that eats warriors in a medieval village." Shane lived the dream. He had a mole black and tan. I had a life-defining realization on top of the Space Needle today. It was an amazing revelation; a bit of startling self-discovery. It turns out that I really love ...

A More Impressive Bar

Monday, August 28th, 2006

Went to Fagans. Twice. It's good. They pour a great Black and Tan. On another note, please buy my stuff. 1 x Sun Blade 100 1 x 4 Port USB KVM

A Thoroughly Unimpressive Bar

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

Sarah, David, Myles, Kim, and I hit the Red Wave Inn (really, a bar) across the street from Fresno State. Some criticisms: The beer is served too cold; it might as well be frozen. It's too loud. In a nutshell, it's a place where college students gather, be loud, and drink crappy beer. Avoid. ...

Beer Redux

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

I think I may have developed a strange fondness for Theakston's Old Peculier (the spelling is correct). I also had a Budweiser... ugh. Had to get it out of the way (spot #4) on my new Spike's card. Doubt I'll finish it before I get the hell out of town, ...
