Misanthropy
I am sitting on the commuter rail home. I am sitting in an aisle seat. For those unfamiliar with the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail, most cars have a 2-seater bench on one side of the aisle, and a 3-seater on the other. Sitting in the middle of the 3-seater is very undesirable; aisle and window seats of these benches fill up first and most people ( Read more... ) -
Less QQ more BBQ
Last night I made the best Q in like a year. Raw data follows.
THE MEAT: A three-pound slab of beef chuck sold as pot roast.
THE HEAT: Oak logs and lump charcoal. I started off at 400 degrees until the meat reached an internal temperature of 140° then wrapped the meat in foil and moved the logs to the firebox. Then it started raining and I moved ( Read more... ) -

Unfortunately, this makes it impossible for graphical Mac OS X apps to use the keychain; the SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is set when your shell starts up and any custom environment variables for your ( Read more... ) -

Peter Gabriel and Other Events
For my birthday, my wife sent me packing to New York City to see Peter Gabriel perform at Radio City Music Hall. The last time I saw him perform was in 2002. I was still in college, and he was performing with his band and his usual cast of props and effects. The current tour, called ‘New Blood,’ was completely different. About the only thing in ( Read more... ) -

Beer Notes
With regards to my last entry, here are notes per beer:
- Chateau Jiahu was really good the second time around.
- Sahtea was OK. Too syrupy and cloyingly sweet in flavor. Didn’t notice much juniper.
- Pangaea - wtf? BORING
- Schlenklerla - did not taste super bacony. Actually quite good. Drank it with smoked brisket, though. Maybe that made the ( Read more... ) -
