That's one reason why grolsch bottles are great. You don't have to worry about them exploding. If the pressure builds too much they just sort of....fart.

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...

My wish for today is that everyone watches this, and gets inspired: The Bloggess is amazing.
Seriously, you make me want to be a better (and more geeky) person. I think that combo is a definite first.

"There’s only one rule that I know of, babies: Goddamn it, you’ve got to be kind."
The list of Stuff I Need to Write About just keeps getting bigger and bigger ... so instead of trying to tackle it right now, I give you this, from my Twittersbox a little bit ago: When you're fortunate enough to have success and love what you do, you have a choice: Be kind and grateful, or be ...
Find someone who likes Grolsch beer and pay them to drink it for (or do it yourself, if you actually like it - I don't) and then give you the resealable bottles. They're great for home-brewing since they don't require capping.

Ryan is going to be 22 at the end of the month. For those of you who have been here since I wrote the 13 on 31 post, you now know how I feel every single day. The rest of you can get off my lawn before I call your parents. So the other day, he and I were having a beer together, and Ryan said, "W...

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last post. I had no idea so many new readers were visiting my blog; I'd just assumed that the Internet had gotten bored with me, moved on to whatever the new hotness is, and I was writing for the few, the proud, the geeky who had been here forever. Knowi...
I'm a fairly new reader, and this is the first time I've seen this story. I've just read memories of the future part 1, and just started The Day After and other stories. I've been a fan for quite a while but never realized you wrote fiction until recently. I think I relate to this tale because I can sense both the pucker-factor and the subsequent shame of not quite meeting expectations.

I've written hundreds of thousands of words over the years, but this remains one of my all-time favorites, so I like to revisit it every year. It was originally written and published on July 5, 2002, which usually feels like years and days ago all at once, but this year actually feels like a lif...
