Morning, From Balcony, in Shibuya, Tokyo


Morning, From Balcony

After a harrowing hour of sweating and hauling around my luggage, I finally found my hotel last night. This is the view from my balcony after a good night's rest.

Beer Brewing

My friend John and I decided to brew beer together. Of course, he's in Kansas City and I'm in Brooklyn, but from a moral-support standpoint, we're good to go.

I'm brewing a Belgian-style Dubbel, and it is fermenting nicely.

John tried a slightly more simple (and faster) Nut Brown Ale and it is taking off, as well. In fact, I wish I would have tried something more simple for my first batch so I'd get my results more quickly. He also took pictures of the brewing process and began to chronicle his endeavors, which I thought was a pretty good idea. Hence, I posted.

It also pleases me to announce the first category on my personal blog: Beer.

CES Bloggers != Jim Crow Blacks

Dvorak is up in arms over the fact that CES won't be allowing bloggers in as press. I have my own thoughts about that, but I'm going to ignore that for now. What really stuck out to me, though, is the accompanying picture he used on his blog to go with the story. Is the forcing of bloggers to register as regular attendees really analogous to black men tied to the cells of their cage?

I'm thinking no, it's really not nearly the same thing.

Salt of the Earth

I don't know why so many people hate slugs. They are beautiful.
