Consecration at the Toronado
Mmmmm… Russian River’s Consecration at the Toronado. Nothing better. A 10% ABV Sour Ale that tastes like “wine that’s gone bad with butter” according to Tim, but in a strangley delicious way.

Madness
There is no art without intoxication. But I mean a mad intoxication! Let reason teeter! Delirium! The highest degree of delirium! Plunged in burning dementia! Art is the most enrapturing orgy within man’s reach.. Art must make you laugh a little and make you a little afraid. Anything as long as it doesn’t bore.

iPhone as a genius marketing tool?
iPhone as a genius marketing tool?
Useful? Probably not. Possible? Absolutely. As a matter of fact, it’s here.

iPhone owners can use their phone to control an interactive advertisement.
While new ways to advertise to us usually don’t make me happy, this new technology is quite cool. The ability to walk up to any interface and control it with your iPhone is something with HUGE potential. I just hope someone jumps on this and makes it useful to us.
Imagine: Walking into In&Out and ordering your whole meal from next to the napkins. Or buying movie tickets and snacks then picking them all up at once. Or when you are looking at clothes, being able to see them in full controllable 3d before you even have to try them on.
Sure some would say this is just a way to make us lazier, but I think it’s a way to make us more productive with less work, thus increasing our ability to go do stuff that really matters. Or so I hope.

Sunset
Ah how I love living in the Sunset. Not long ago we walked the two blocks to the water reserve up the hill to take some photos. Bringing nothing but a camera and a flash we made some great shots. I liked this one a lot so I dressed it up a tad for fun. I’ll put up more of the shoot later.
Here it comes!
