Yum

September 27, 2012

Stopped off for a beer on the way home at my favorite local joint. Saw a $12 beer, Zymatore, on the menu. They also have a nice pumpkin ale on tap right now so I ignored the expensive one.

But right before I was leaving someone ordered it. The bartender is a friend, so I asked him about it. He poured me a small glass to taste.

Oh my, yum.

Next time I will pay the $12.

Travesty

September 25, 2012

As a Packer fan, there’s really not much to say about last night’s game.

Some of the better tweets:

BREAKING: Seahawks QB Russell Wilson becomes first NFL QB to throw game winning interception.

Green Bay is the first team in #NFL history to start the season 1-1-WTF

The NFL owners have done the impossible. They have made Chicago Bears fans feel bad about the Green Bay Packers.

GREEN BAY IS IN FLAMES! And it smells like delicious fried cheese.

From Mark Cuban:

I would love to see what my reaction would be if a Mavs game ended like #MNF. #Expensive #NBAtime

Why I still love Twitter

After Romney says:

When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem.

A Twitter hashtag, #RomneyPlaneFeatures is born…

Update: funniest one I’ve seen:

Has a dog carrier on each wing.


Replacement NFL Refs

September 21, 2012

Well, they are clearly lame, but Bill Simmons does it best.

Roger Goodell has lost control of both his marbles and the 2012 NFL season when fans are seriously debating things like “Which fan base is going to riot over the referees first?” and “How easy would it be to bribe a replacement ref and swing a game?”

Your Friends Have More Friends Than You

September 18, 2012

Math warning. Researchers analyzed Facebook and friend counts.

They found that a user’s friend count was less than the average friend count of his or her friends, 93 percent of the time.

That seems totally counter-intuitive. If it’s an average shouldn’t you have more friends than your friends about half the time?

No, and this article explains (rather well) why.
