New Laptop Bag

I'm in desperate need of a new lappy bag.
I really like this brand (Ducti) because of the bold letters. There is also a Danger version avail. Alas all only fit 15" laptops and mine is 17"  :-(
Probably also a bit in your face for the corporate environment. Maybe if it said "Don't Panic" :-)

Fueled by Beer, 101 Year Old Man Runs Marathon | blogaboutbeer.com

This guy seems like a legend.
Hope I'm still downing 7-8 pints at 80 odd, let alone making it to 101.

Buster Martin completed the London Marathon this past weekend in just about ten hours. The 101 year old man set a new record for the oldest person to ever complete the marathon. So, what did he do to celebrate? Have a beer, of course. While it would be logical to assume that, since Martin appears in such great health, he must be a health nut but the truth is actually quite the opposite.Buster Martin smokes more than a dozen cigarettes and drinks an average of 7-8 full pints of beer — usually at least one during a break in the middle of his daily run — every day. It truly boggles the mind.

The masses have spoken.
The identity community has been quite vocal on Facebook and the granularity of security that is configurable (or not in this case), historically on Facebook.
Looks like a step in the right direction. Ironically though half of these settings will probably still be lost on the majority of the FB members.

Nelson makes the top 5

Nelson makes the "Top 5 Beer Towns in NZ"
Good to see Nelson making the top 5. Personally I think it should be number 4 ahead of Hamilton, but I'm still proud :-)

5. Nelson - the hop growing region of New Zealand has a growing number of small breweries, Founders, Lighthouse, Tasman, Bays, Townsend and special mention to The Mussel Inn, not quite Nelson but worth the effort. The greatest thing about the Nelson region are the guys that run Dead Good Beer Events and regularly put on beer festivals.

Reality catching up with 80's TV ?

A conceptual E-Paper Slap Bracelet. It's an MP4 player in which the entire surface acts as a thin, high contrast and energy efficient screen. As an added bonus it needs no charging -- it's powered by the kinetic energy produced by moving your arm.

Slick, very slick.

A great little site that leverages existing infrastructure (Twitter).
So if you have a Twitter account then send me a beer (or a coffee if it is before lunch time), and of course I'll reciprocate.

A move in the right direction (NSW Liquor Laws)

This is a fantastic move in the right direction by the NSW Govt. The archaic liquor licensing laws have meant that the entry to the market has been so high that it is prohibitive for the smaller business segment.
Now if only the Federal Govt could refine the alcohol taxation laws for beer brewers in line with what they have done for the wine industry (Wine Equalisation Tax), there will be a small explosion of micro breweries across the country.

Cave-in: small bars triumph
Andrew Clennell State Political Editor
November 6, 2007

SMALL bars will be able to open across Sydney, serving alcohol without food, after a backdown by the Iemma Government.
The Premier, Morris Iemma, last night hailed the new laws as a dramatic transformation of Sydney's drinking culture that would create a "true cosmopolitan city".Despite the Government's longstanding opposition to change, the revised Liquor Act will cut licence fees from about $15,000 to as little as $500 for a small bar and $2000 for a hotel.

The Herald has also campaigned for more Melbourne-style small bars to give drinkers an alternative to big hotels filled with poker machines.Ms Moore was cautious last night, saying "the devil will be in the detail". But she welcomed "any change that will reduce costs and provide flexibility on small bars … and [meet] the demands of the community to encourage small venues to enter the current pub and club-dominated market".

Pete Brown's Blog: Rendezvous in Rio

Pete's journey is now back on track. He has another cask of ale (IPA).
I've been following Pete's blog with interest and will get the book for sure. The original cask committed suicide before the first part of the nautical adventure.

These are the brethren of dear departed Barry, and while they missed the canal trip from Burton, the cruise to Tenerfie and the Atlantic Crossing on Europa, they´ll be joining me on the next stage of the journey - 12,000 miles across the Atlantic, round the Cape of Good Hope, through the Indian Ocean to Mumbai.This is thanks to Jeff Pickthall - beer writer, beer drinker, and now beer smuggler - who brought them to Rio for me in his luggage when all attempts to get them in through normal channels failed. After travelling from Newcastle, via Burton, Heathrow and Sao Paolo to Rio, Jeff arrived at the hotel FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER the man who came to pick me up to board me on to the container ship - the container ship that left three days ahead of schedule. It was skin of the teeth stuff - the stuff of legend.
