I wrote something in a local community message board which was my off-the-cuff thoughts toward a wave of both conversations and actions to take on student loans debts and post-primary-school education of Americans. I wrote: I didn’t attend university. It’s a choice I made and I did okay for myself. The majority of my professional …

Balance @ the NY Times
Keep in mind I don’t really follow current events well but I do follow a few blogs that occasionally put in links to primarily liberal-slanted views & opinions. Here’s the way I see this whole Op-Ed business but before I say a few words, keep in mind “Op-Ed” means opposite editorial. It’s the counter view …
Supposedly, The Life of Pablo has been Tweaked?
I found two articles, This from Complex and this from Consequence of Sound that The Life of Pablo from Kanye West had tweaked / changed his album since it was released. I started listening in March I think, acquiring the album illegally and I just tonight bought the album from Kanye’s site for $20. I …
★ 100 Visits to Hill Farmstead
Every time I can find cell-service, I’ll check-in on FourSquare to Hill Farmstead. It’s my favorite brewery in the world.

The damage occurred before the box left Southern California. In it, 12 bottles of Bruery Hoarders beers, most of which were my entire Black Tuesday …
My Thoughts: 2016 is the Year of the (personal) Server
At a Yahoo! Data center in 2009 Years of trial and error and experimentation has brought me to a place that is fantastic. I know the use of servers for personal computing is no big deal but I finally have this feeling that everything is where it should be in my computing life. I have …
★ How is 3 Fonteinen Straffe Winter Holding up in 2016?
The last time I had this beer was in August of 2013 with Fuj. I don’t think he was a huge fan but I certainly loved it. I think Faro is an under appreciated style and in America, real-Faro is impossible to acquire. It’s young lambiek with added sugar that’s served cask-only because in a …
★ “2015: The Year in Beer” (Hill Farmstead Edition)
I don’t have an editorial staff that restricts that I write and since I think Hill Farmstead, winner of best craft brewery in Vermont according to Seven Days readers deserves fair coverage, here’s my take on “2015: The Year in Beer” (Hill Farmstead Edition) I didn’t think that Hill Farmstead could top their huge banner …
