iPhone 3.0

AppleThis morning, I woke up in anticipation that I could upgrade my iPhone to 3.0. But low and behold, the release time was going to be 10 am PDT. Well so much for testing it out at work. So I got home, initiated the download, and waited, and waited, and then my phone froze, couldn't recognize the SIM card, blah blah... Restart.

Beery Merry Christmas Ale

BeerIt's holiday season again, and therefore it's time for a good holiday ale. I wanted to make something dark, warm, and Christmasy. So in looking around for ideas to spice up my beer, I came across two good spices: coriander and cardamon. I also experimented with a new yeast and new yeast manufacturer, Whitebread by White Labs. This turned out to make a very tasty beer.

Ford developing hydraulic hybrid trucks

RidesI, for one, would love to get a Ford F-150. But it's it bit big, and the gas mileage isn't that great. The Ford Escape Hybrid is nice enought, but it's a bit small for me, and doesn't quite have the power.

That could change with help of hydraulic hybrid technology.

Black Friday Oatmeal Stout

BeerIf you didn't know, I love stout beers. A good stout can be enjoyed all year long, but I like it even more in the winter. And to honor the people who have the Friday off after Thanksgiving, who decide not to sleep in like normal people, but instead, get up even earlier than they normally do during the week, I give thee my Black Friday Oatmeal Stout.
