The Art of the Brew
Since the completion of my new mash tun my desire to homebrew has been back on the rise. Over the years it’s come and gone. There have been periods where I was making a couple beers every month. Then suddenly I’d go half a year without brewing. I’m sure there were any number of factors involved, but I know that my last falling out with ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Dear god my IPA is smelling good out of the fermenter. Racking it over to the secondary and dry hopping it. VERY active fermentation. It was still bubbling up to the other day. I'm feeling pretty good about this one and can't wait to get it in to a keg so I can drink me some! -
Taking Control of Your Online Identity
Recently on Lifehacker and a couple of other sites that I read regularly they had been talking about your online identity. Who you are when someone types your name in to a search engine. I'm sure you've tried it, most people have done what has been referred to as "vanity Googling". While vanity, or some level of curiosity may be the motivating ( Read more... ) -
Big Orange Mash Tun
All the parts arrived over the weekend for my new mash tun. My old setup was a five gallon cooler with a half-assed home made false bottom and some plastic fitting. Not at all an ideal setup, but did a decent enough job for partial-mash stuff. Still I had been itching to get back to all grain brewing, but knew I needed a better setup if I was ( Read more... ) -
Damn, I Got Pwn’d!
It appears I fell victim to an SQL injection hack on this website. From the looks of it, it either happened late last night or early this morning. I actually only caught it as quick as I did because my page was loading so slowly I checked to see what the hang up was and found it was attempting to connect to some weird ass site. Looking that site ( Read more... ) -
Ponderings
So, have I abandoned my LiveJournal? Sure, a lot of posts from my blog get partially echoed here. I also use the account to continually read other people's journals. However actual posts have been few and far between.
I haven't actually come to a decesion on the issue of whether I'll do some type of originally posting here or not. But don't worry ( Read more... ) -
My Blog, Now with More Minimalism.
My old theme had a couple minor glitches with the newest incarnation of Wordpress. Nothing major, but enough for me to decide I had used it for awhile and was ready for a change. I've had a bit of a minimalism kick lately and decided to aim for a more clean layout. Find one I liked and have been doing a couple extra nip and tucks to it in order ( Read more... ) -
Whatever you Think, You’re Never Ready.
Denise and I didn't decide to have a baby lightly. To be honest it took me awhile to warm up to the idea at all. It's safe to say that babies have always petrified me. Small kids, yeah, not so much of those either. I've always had a tough time around them, and until Gabriel was born I had never actually held a baby before. Nuts, I know, but ( Read more... ) -
Apple Releases Safari 5
Well Apple's Safari web browser just got updated today. Safari 5 first became available via Apple's software update and now is live on their website as well. There had been rumors swirling about that perhaps the new version of the web browser would be announced at WWDC. It may not have been part of Job's iPhone 4 super fan party, but word of it ( Read more... )
