Is There An Event Horizon Of Beer Blog Comments
Posted by on Monday, June 17, 2013 in - 4 comments
For all the talk of beer blogging, it strikes me after over a year of writing on these my blogs is how many of the best bits I've plunked down are at the blogs of others. This obviously implies that there is a insular nature to the reciprocal nature of bloggers but it also illustrates how there is …
Father's Day Tomorrow May Find Me Typing
Posted by on Saturday, June 15, 2013 in - 7 comments
There may come a time that beer and brewing will only mean writing to me. Not that I have any real issue with beer but right now I have three co-writing projects all of which add up to around 150,000 words. I realized just now that that's a lot of words when I finish typing out all those zeroes …
How Will You Find Me Without Lord Goog's Reader?

I have to admit that I was a bit caught off guard by the news. Time was you could actually write blog posts about stats. Eight years ago, I used to collect data like this because back in Web 2.0 well before social media you really had no clue how many people were out there. Then came along …
Apparently, The Thinking Monkey Has Been Missed

I has no idea that Joe Stange, the Thirsty Pilgrim, had a crush on the Thinking Monkey, as illustrated, but today on Twitter we read this: • Would rule "don't be absurd" be violation of itself? [insert Alan's thinking monkey] • And also this: • He must be on sabbatical. Had to go 10 pages …

I like helping people. Say what you like, I am a people person at heart. I helped people today. I have been helping people so much this week, I have snapped at an old pal in my business life and been living on five hour sleeps. I made a lamb sausage curry tonight, too. So it is with some … read more »
An Apology And Thoughts About My Lawn
Posted by on Tuesday, November 6, 2012 in - 1 comment
It was with relief and pleasure that I was able to share emails with Jason Fisher of Indie Alehouse in Toronto today after our strong disagreement over the weekend. Others have suggested that, on one hand, I was well out of line and, conversely, entirely in the right but it still was not a good …
Boak And Bailey Return From Web Server Hell

I am really lucky in the sense that I have not had a serious service interruption at this here beer blog or its more generic sister service. To be honest, for me, blogging is a habit more than anything else. I like the way I get to write about a topic I really don't know all that much about. If it …
Late For Lent: Unsalted And Really Sober On Day Six
Posted by on Thursday, March 1, 2012 in - 1 comment
I don't know what there is really to report as I am so early on this experience of not experiencing. Keen readers will recall that last Saturday I decided to add to my recent passing on most salt intake to take a break on alcohol for Lent... and so far I have. Sure, I went beer shopping yesterday …
I Thought You Were All Reading This At Work!!!

Just figured out that over the last month 20% of you were reading this on some sort of mobile device. How odd. I always pictured you sitting at work day dreaming across the desk about a nice beer but never pictured you sitting on a bus or waiting in a line up or anything like that. Where do you …
Late For Lent: How Long Can This Go On?
Posted by on Saturday, February 25, 2012 in - 7 comments
So, I think I am a bit bored of beer. Really? Maybe. I think I am a bit more bored by the constant supply of excellent beer in the stash. That's it. I'm a bit spoiled. Perhaps. Whatever it is, I think I am going to take a break from drinking for a little while. See what happens. How long have you …
