Half-Life 2 Episode 2
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Ooof!
Thursday, January 24th, 2008I got my water analyzed by Ward Labs, to see what I’m dealing with when I try all-grain brewing again. Not surprisingly, given the amount of minerals encrusted on the fixtures, it’s incredibly hard, but I am surprised that the carbonate content is low.
It’s actually not a bad approximation of Dublin’s water. Stout anyone?

He asked to be remembered for what was good about him…
Friday, January 4th, 2008…so I will take the easy route and share this line from Andrew Olmsted’s posthumous letter, which I wish I hadn’t gotten to read:
But all the tears in the world aren’t going to bring me back, so I would prefer that people remember the good things about me rather than mourning my loss. (If it turns out a specific number of tears will, in fact, bring me back to life, then by all means, break out the onions.)
I didn’t know Andrew personally, but I enjoyed his writing, and am sad he’s gone.
