Bonnaroooo
It’s been about 20 hours since coming back to reality, aka getting out of the car from the trip home. The last four days of my life have been nothing short of amazing. My return to Bonnaroo absolutely killed my first time. Everything went perfectly this time around, minus losing a flip flop in a mud pit. I realized that once you get over the heat & the fact that you’ll be...

Review: Great Divide Hercules Double IPA
Big fan of this one. A very nice double IPA that goes down easy. A: 22 oz. poured into a snifter with about a one finger, beige head. Light mohagany color that is very clear & clean looking with minimal lacing & very little retention, but overall a nice look. S: Not overly hoppy like most double IPAs, but all in all a very pleasant aroma with hints of earthy hops, malt and a smoked...

This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time. Check out this ridiculous violent and amazingly insane intro video for an Alaskan College Hockey Team.
This is most violent polar bear I’ve ever seen.

Review: Southern Tier Crème Brûlée Stout
Appearance - This beer pours black with a nice, thick, very inviting beige head. Great head retention & lacing from start to finish. Smell - Wow, VERY strong smell of vanilla, butterscotch, sweet caramel, sugar, etc. This is literally a dessert in a 22 oz. bottle. Very intriguing! Taste - Initial slap-in-the-face with strong vanilla & butterscotch. Some secondary flavors that come through...

Review: Coffee Macadamia Coconut Porter
Tonight I decided to review the much-anticipated collaboration brew between Stone, Maui and Ken Schmidt. It’s a coffee macadamia coconut porter that is quite tasty. Here’s my review…
Appearance - Poured along the side of a tulip glass with a very attractive two-finger head. The head is a beige/mocha color that eventually dies down to an espresso-like film that is quite inviting....

1st Beer Review: BBC Coffeehouse Porter
So this is my first official beer review (which you can also find here). I chose a beer that I know very well, which is the Coffeehouse Porter by Berkshire Brewing Company. Without further ado, here it is!
Appearance - This beer pours a dark brown, almost black, with a nice, creamy, beige head that stays with the beer throughout. Minimal lacing but just enough.
Smell - Very upfront scent of...

Ux Design: Common Excise Traps
Found a list of some traps that designers get caught up in when designing user interfaces & defining the user experience. Think of this as the 9 commandments of what NOT to do when it comes to UI/UX design. Take some notes!
Don’t force users to go to another window to perform a function that affects the current window.
Don’t force users to remember where they put things in the...
