Awwwwwww. I promise to attempt to limit baby posts in the future, but this is a creative baby post so it made it past my filters.

No Bitches In Michigan? →
Sam Calagione on Michigan rejecting the upcoming Bitches Brew beer from Dogfish Head…because no one over 21 uses the word bitches.
My Last Pint #18 – James Watt →
James Watt of BrewDog gives the best responses to the My Last Pint so far. If you aren’t familiar with the site, the premise is to ask for your last pint what would it be? where would it be? would you eat? with whom?
My Last Pint is awfully morbid, yet very interesting to read (or watch, sometimes there is video). As for me…
What would you drink?
I would stretch the rules of last...
The Top Idea in Your Mind →
I’ve found I can to some extent avoid thinking about nasty things people have done to me by telling myself: this doesn’t deserve space in my head. I’m always delighted to find I’ve forgotten the details of disputes, because that means I hadn’t been thinking about them. My wife thinks I’m more forgiving than she is, but my motives are purely selfish.
I like...

WatchRemember when you could beat an entire video game in 7 minutes? Yeah, I could never do it either, but this is still a pretty awesome video.

It’s important to change your desktop wallpaper often. I’m just here to help give you choices.

– Case Study | Rhubarb Syrup - T Magazine Blog - NYTimes.com
Recently some friends looked at me like I was on crack when I mentioned eating raw rhubarb dipped in sugar. Apparently I’m not alone in this childhood delight.
Vatican Issues New Rules on Responding to Sex... →
In a move that infuriated victims’ groups and put United States bishops on the defensive, it also codified “the attempted ordination of women” to the priesthood as one of the church’s most grave crimes, along with heresy, schism and pedophilia.
…
It does not contain measures to hold bishops accountable for abuse by priests on their watch, nor does it require mandatory reporting of...

Time to start resolving the conflicts!
Here is my first stab at picks…yeah lots of conflicts. I feel like there are more good bands this year than I remembered.
What are your picks?

This is a lesson I’m still learning.

…and followed. God I love Tumblr.
PDX needed a Gowalla Trip →
I have become something of a gowalla junkie in the past few months and it was especially fun on the Portland trip. It was like when I first started using Gowalla because every place I went was a new checkin. However, I don’t know if Portland is a foursquare town or just too hipster to use gowalla, but compared to Austin it seemed like not that many people were using it.
The one thing I...

I think this is the first time since I gave up cable a few years ago that I wish I had it back. Maybe Hulu will start showing them…or there’s always bittorrent.

On demand internet TV gets a little more real. $10/month isn’t bad if the catalog is as extensive as they claim.
Naked PETA Protesters Show Off Meat Packages in... →
Oh PETA, you’re so crazy. Apparently Friday was a good day to eat lunch at my desk between this and the bomb threat at the capitol.
Although I do have to wonder if there wasn’t some connection. Call in a bomb threat to get those lawmakers out of the capitol to walk around downtown to see the PETA activists…
IMDBFlix.com →
Nice mashup of IMDB film ratings with available Netflix streaming titles. Search by top of all time or by year. It’s not a terribly pretty page, but my instant queue just grew by about 15 movies.
Scott Pilgrim Gameplay Footage →
This looks awesome! I got sucked into reading all of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels recently and really enjoyed them. I also loved double dragon as a kid and this looks very much inspired by such games. Sadly for me it’s only going to be available on the Playstation Network or Xbox Live.
