Last night was the release party for the White Gold. There was a decent sized crowd there. It was good to see a majority of the staff show up for it – it’s always quite the change hanging out with these people outside of the work setting. Sure, our work is really casual. Still, people … More White Gold and Playoff Thoughts.
I’ve been having issues with actually being able to watch the Sabres games. The problem lies in a tangled web having to do with Versus, MSG, and DISH network. Put simply on DISH any relevant network is being blacked out due to restrictions and failed negotiations. Since this problem doesn’t exist with cable I’ve been … More A Sabres Update
I’m sure every news story and blog posting of Kurt Vonnegut’s passing has used the same subject, but it is fitting. While I first read Slaughter House Five in high school I wasn’t a fan of Vonnegut until college. I had caught the reading bug by high school, but anything that was required reading – … More So it Goes.
After the Islanders shoot-out victory over the NJ Devils we finally had the full playoff picture. The last few years I’ve had pretty decent luck picking the winners on a hockey list that I’m a part of so I figured this year I’d make my first round predictions a little more public so I can … More 2007 NHL Playoff Predictions.

Well I finally got around to updating the gallery. Not only did I add new pictures, but I also updated from the really old beta code that it was running. The new pictures are pictures of my cats that I took with my new camera. After getting back from Vegas I purchased a Casio Exilim … More Kittys!
On Sunday I decided to make a barley wine since that’s a style of beer I had yet to experiment with. The idea snaked its way in to my head thanks to Chief’s blog post about the barley wine he’s going to be doing for the Excelsior series of beers here at the brewery. After … More Mighty Fine Barley Wine
Well the idiots in the state government are at it again, attempting to regulate every tiny detail of life in the name of public safety. This newest effort comes from New York State Sen. Carl Kruger. In a wonderfuly idiotic effort to protect people from their own stupidity he is introducing legislation that would ban … More New York – Legislating your every waking second.
It took awhile, but the cold weather finally rolled in a few days ago. We even got some brief periods of snow; including snow on the ground so that it almost looked like it really could be winter. A lot of that snow is gone, but the cold weather certainly hasn’t left us. I do … More Could this be Winter?
