Early Saturday Morning Gallimaufry

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

And, time to close a few more tabs…

It’s lovely that the Internet can bring me an interactive beer and food matching guide. Sadly, it uses a different algorithm than I do–resulting in far more matches with “see through” beer than my scheme would generate.
Speaking of beer, I love the idea of beer haiku. My favourite [...]

A Sunday Miscellany

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

Well, I’ve had a very busy weekend here in Melbourne–which I may get around to writing up at some point later tonight–and now I’ve made it back to my hotel/apartment, and it seems like a good time for me to do a little bit of value-added linkblogging. So, no theme, just lots of things that [...]

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

As you can probably tell, my access to the Internet has been spotty this week (and will continue so for a few more days).
However, I’ve stolen a minute now to mention that yesterday was the day of Books, Cheese, and Beer. Details to follow when things return to normal, probably along with some commentary on [...]

A Man Turns 34

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Note: I will deny the entire contents of this post if my daughter ever finds it later in her life and confronts me with it. I expect you all to back me up in those denials.
So, how did I welcome in 34th birthday? Recall that I was spending it in Australia.
Before I get into the [...]
