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…

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.

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.
