I bought four (of five) bottles of Rogue’s Brew 10,000 from Whole Foods to serve at our wedding for the beer lovers out there. Brewed once in late 2006, it sold out quickly and to find that many in one place is amazing… At $22 a pop for 750ml bottles I can only hope that it was stored properly in the mean time. I keep feeling like I should have grabbed that fifth one as well. I keep telling myself that I left the last one for someone else to enjoy…

As a free service (with seemingly minimal advertising) it is pretty compelling even with a smaller lineup than some others.

I know I’ll be wasting some time here. Too bad that they leverage Flash, so no iPhone viewing for the moment.

To take it to the next level, they let you even pull a smaller clip out of the larger video. Check out the spoiler to one of my favorite movies currently available after the jump.

If you haven’t seen the Usual Suspects, please watch from the beginning, because this really is a spoiler.

Through challenging oneself with distinct provocations and a verisimilitude of inquisitiveness, I push the boundaries of curmudgeonly phraseology with the goal of attaining the extreme frontiers of obsequious penmanship, an expression I wield grandiosely imprecise. Having delved deeply into morass-like soliloquy, I emerge victoriously with, a Gunning-Fog tally or twentyfive, a Flesch-Kincaid of eighteen point eight and a resound, single digit count, without dispute or contention, of six with regards to the Fleish Index.

To wit, prior to acknowledging the originator, astounding levels of lexical acuity were bumptiously demonstrated. Afterwards, comprehensive readability unsatisfyingly intensified tenfold. With considerable gratitude, I bestow appreciation towards the creators of the pithily monikered “Word Statistics Plugin 1.0 for WordPress” forged by the veritable centurion, John Watson of flagrantdisregard.com.

I found this on Boing Boing last night. I’m a big fan of Johnny Depp and I know that he is a weird dude, but when someone (or an entire culture) can out weird him I am always surprised.

I’ve included the YouTube vids below the jump.

On February 25, at in indetermit time and after 331 days up, the faithful debian server went down.  And went down hard.

It survived two consecutive weeks of threatend, building wide power outages and the idle hands of countless techs looking for scavenged parts. (No!  Bad tech!  *smack*)  With just 35 days to go, a suite wide poweroutage is what finnaly took it down. 

Dave had ordered some power upgrades to the suites we now have which were meant to come along with brief outages as they messed with the main breaker.  The debian box was once again left alone on the UPS to weather the storm and while there were no garentees, it didn’t seem like there would be much of an issue.  Needless to say, nothing goes as planned.  The electricians nearly blew some things up, the UPS began to beep faster and I was told that there was an audible problem with my HD.  I knew then, that if I lost power, it would not come back up alive.

Indead it didn’t.  In fact, it wouldn’t even POST.  Dejected, I let it sit, giving it a proper mouring.

Long story short, the system hard drive was clicky dead. However, due to the nature of scavenged parts for internal development, I had installed two smaller drives. One was the now dead system, but the other was a very happy data drive. As an added bonus, not only had my userdata survived, but so had my /etc partition. All of my precious conf files were intact.

So, even though my uptime hopes were crushed just shy of the year mark, I was able to quickly rebuild the box, push the data and conf files, test it all out and announce to the users that their blogs were back online with all of their entries.

Meanwhile, we are still having power issues and my uptime has be killed several times over. The promise of a new box brings uptime hopes back, however.

Three words: Strippers on Ice

Granted we’ve been drinking to calm her back spasms brought on her love of shoveling snow. I was just drinking to keep her company…

Once again: Strippers on Ice

The idea has captivated us both.

Good night and God bless. (alcohol)

We’ve got a new “little” guy at the the house to keep us company. I mean little, however, in the loosest of terms. He’s a big white kitty that we rescued from the Humane Society. He’ll spend the next few days in the bathroom until he has gotten used to us and the sounds of our home and neighborhood.

I think he is finally sleeping.

He was rattling the closed door on it’s hinges. He’s that kind of big.
