“We are trying to explore the outer edges of what beer can be,” Calagione says. But the idea makes even some craft brewers nervous. “I find the term ‘extreme beer’ irredeemably pejorative,” Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, told me recently. “When a brewer says, ‘This has more hops in it than anything you’ve [...]

Howto: Smoke a Cigar
January 26, 2009 After having a romance with cigars on and off for a year, I finally figured it out.
The one that busted my cigar cherry was la aurora barrel aged.
Fantastic stuff.
For all I wrote about smoking hookah, cigars were more macho and had the added ability of being portable. I had smoked a pipe on [...]

My brother and I had been hunting the farm all day. I was using the [...]
FreeBSD 7.1 is FailBSD 7.1
January 7, 2009Good fucking god. Do you think the FreeBSD folks would, at some point, think “gee if we used Linux UIs, we might attract more than two users!”
For the most part it’s a fairly standard affair. It installs in VMWare, it works with VMWare tools, and nothing from previous FreeBSD releases is broken. Unlike Solaris in [...]
