I watch the show via the YouTube app on my television - 47" 1080p goodness, and no ads at all! It's the best.
Honestly having that ability is the only way I could watch a long-form show on YouTube - a 19 inch monitor is simply too small for such viewing.

Amber Benson, Meghan Camarena, and Michelle Boyd join me for GLOOM on #Tabletop
This week's new episode of Tabletop is online for your happy funtime enjoyment: If the embed isn't working, or you want to see this in glorious SUPER MEGA HD, I've got you covered, because I love you. A few notes: * We have no control over the ads that run during Tabletop, so it's likely that y...
I haven't touched Google+ as I have no need of it, but this doesn't surprise me. Google as a company doesn't seem to have any interest in letting the user have control of their experience. I refuse to install, much less use, Chrome due to its lack of a) installation control, and b) cache control. I don't care how fast your effing product is, if you don't let me decide where I want to install it and how it should run, I will not use it*.
Of course the most successful company in tech right now is Apple, whose entire history involves telling their users "just do it the way we tell you, you'll like it," so maybe that's where Google is getting its ideas. But even Safari has goddamn cache control.
*Side note: how stupid is the very concept of caching in 2012? Yeah, it made sense in 1995 when connection speeds were very slow and web pages didn't change very often, but in the current world of the constantly-updating, interactive, user-generated-content web, the very idea of caching views for the next time the user visits a page is inane.

Google is doing it wrong. Again.
I'm putting this update at the top of this post as well as at the bottom, so nobody misses it: Updated: It appears that Google engineers are actively working on a way to fix this thing, and that it may not have been intentional. I sincerely hope that that's the case, and will just point out that...
Manners.

Things every person should have
Things every person should have: A nemesis. An evil twin. A secret headquarters. An escape hatch. A partner in crime. A secret identity. What else?
I just started homebrewing this year, and love it. I found this device that makes bottle sanitizing easier: http://www.williamsbrewing.com/BOTTLE-SANITIZER-P152.aspx It took some figuring out, but once I got the hang of it it's pretty quick. Just a spritz and then them on the bottle tree to dry.

in which my son and i bottle our beer
I walked down the hallway toward the guest room, and started talking before I got to the door. "Hey, I just looked at my calendar, and I miscalculated when we should bottle our beer." I stepped off the wood floor of the hallway and onto the soft carpet we just had installed. I involuntarily squi...
Bedroom, kitchen, dining room? Where do you stay when you're somewhere for extended filming like this? It doesn't sound like a hotel room - do they rent an apartment for you?

two hundred words before six in the morning
When the alarm went off at 5am, I wasn't sure where I was. I mean, I knew I was in bed, but I was on the wrong side of the bed, and why was I awake when it's still dark outside? After a few seconds, my brain finished booting up and I remembered that I am in Vancouver, I sleep on the wrong side o...
