Random meanderings you're probably not interested in…
I finally chilled a few liters of the Hefeweizen I made a couple months ago. Had some last night. Even picked up some actual lemons at the supermarket in preparation. The result: It’s good. Real, real good. I may have to go buy the brew shop and pick up a bigger fermenter vessel and some … Continue reading “Hefeweizen goodness”
So I pull out the keg the other day to bottle the Blackberry Brew that I’ve been fermenting for a couple of weeks, and what do I discover? The keg damn near exploded, that’s what. Like I’ve said in earlier posts, the screw top system seems to have a few drawbacks. For one thing, the … Continue reading “Mr. Beer Mishap”
Okay, so I go out tonight mainly to fuel my hunger and thirst. While I have plenty of stash packed away to fuel the thirst, I’m sadly low on foodstuffs. It’s been an interesting couple hours. First, I head over to Wang’s. I’d just like to state, for the record, that this is the best … Continue reading “Word from the scene”
Little tip for those of you into the whole “explosives” thing… When having a bottle rocket war, buy the cheap ones. Yes, the good ones have a more reliably burning fuse and thus are easier to aim and fire correctly, however they also have a much more powerful thrust to them, and thus the impact … Continue reading “Fireworks tip for the future”

I’d been wanting a particular book, and my Amazon Prime trial membership had just expired (and I didn’t feel that “free” shipping was worth $70+ a year), so I started looking for stuff I needed which they had. What … Continue reading “More about Amazon Grocery”

From Digg: Comedy Central has ordered 13 new episodes of the animated series that Fox canceled two years ago. Billy West, Katey Segal and other stars signed deals this week to return the … Continue reading “Sweet Zombie Jesus!!”
I love Pocky. Its such incredibly good stuff. Excellent for a quick snack. Next time youre ordering something off Amazon, do yourself a favor and throw some Pocky on that order. They have several flavors I havent tried too, which means only one thing: Massive Pocky order time.
THIS PLUGIN DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. I doubt I’ll be updating it any time soon. Playing around with my new Picasa Web access, I found the RSS feeds quite nice. So I made a widget for them. Picasa Web Widget Basically it puts a slideshow of photo thumbnails from one or more Picasa Web RSS … Continue reading “Picasa Web WordPress Widget”
I just got access to the PicasaWeb test, and uploaded a bunch of pictures. Gotta say, this thing is great! Picasa is an excellent photo organizer, which now has a bunch of new features. Geotagging of pictures, integrated with Google Earth. Upload photos to your own online photo album. Online albums have RSS feeds. Choose … Continue reading “New Photo Album”
Just saw this headline over on slashdot and got the shock of my life: 3D Realms Won’t Rush Duke Nukem Forever No kidding? After 10 years of development, they’re not going to rush it out the door? Really? Shocking! There’s a pretty funny discussion going on over there about this shocking, shocking news. My favorite … Continue reading “DNF = No Rush…”
