Hey, why bring me into this?

Headed to Jay for Sunday (trip booked a while back as a happy birthday weekend for Mrs. Awesome). Any way to spend less money on a lift ticket than the rack rate?

How likely is it that there will still be (good) skiing to be had in New England around April 13th-ish?

I've got a free weekend, and was hoping to head to Denver to see some friends and maybe...

I stayed there once about 6 years ago. It was old and tired, but didn't seem like a bedbuggy place. Just a cheap motel with a weird outdoor hallway thing. As I recall the heater in the room was...

Any chance these are still available, Hose-Man?

(on second thought, PM sent...)

Plenty of people here have a chip on their shoulder.

(ba-dump...ching!)

Any reason you want to add coffee in the boil? I thought I remembered that it was a bad idea to boil the coffee, for some reason.

I've heard of friends having good luck adding "cold brewed"...

Depends. Did they give you any sense of their expected next steps or timeline ("We're hoping to have the first round done within the next few days, and start in-person interviews at the end of next...

I gave some to Mrs. Awesome (before the Mrs. part) a few years back, but 2 years ago, one of the batteries broke off while we were skiing somewhere and was never found. I just ordered 2 new...

I'm eager to hear what you're cooking up! I've fallen into a rut, and am just making the same few varieties over and over... I need to go beyond my comfort zone.

That may be a workable angle, too. Part of the interest in staying east is that my friend will be driving out from Maine, and I don't want to make him drive too far, since he'll have to get back...

I actually thought about Whaleback. I remember spotting it from the car on the way to Ullrfest, and thinking it would be a fun place to make a few turns, but definitely not worth the trip if I...

We're only going to try to ski Black because we get in too late to make a full day anywhere, the half-day pass is super-cheap, and we want to try to get some skiing in on Saturday.

Setting aside...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but...

I'm bringing Mrs. Awesome to New England for a day and a half of skiing in a few weeks (she's got a rare weekend off from work). Just...

I didn't mean to suggest that brett was bad, or that it was a bad choice. Brett is a great flavor profile, but when I think "sour" (as opposed to "wild"), I think more of the lacto/pedio side of...

I love sour beers, but have to admit that brett beers aren't generally at the top of my list. Are you looking for brett character ("horse blanket"), or are you looking for more of a sour character...

FIFY.

Seriously, I hate it so much when interviewees show up 20-30 minutes in advance. If you're that early, find a coffee shop nearby and kill time, walk around the block, or something.

Woah, what a weekend! Big thanks to everyone who helped pull that monster of a party together, and especially to BigDaddy making it all happen (and for the shirt!). Another huge thank you to...

I smoked some bacon last night. It smelled good. It will be travelling.

Yeah, it shows. The production on his work is pretty outstanding (although listening to MP3s on a iPod probably doesn't do it justice).

So, I bought that album. It's great. And the song I actually heard on the radio that morning was "House of Cards" which is similar, but better. I ended up liking other stuff on the album at least...

Planning to go, but have a hockey game at 11-ish, so I have to behave myself a bit. Anyone else planning to be there? I'm down for pre-movie beers at Lost Dog, or P. Brennan's, or whatever nearby...

It seems the student may have become the teacher?

I'm planning to bring a plain maple syrup cure, a "savory" cure, and potentially a "hell bacon" cure of hot peppers...

Out of curiosity, did...

I seem to remember a conversation with a local brewer who told me that he used some crazy amount of pumpkin in his mash only so that he could tell people he'd used a bunch of pumpkin in his mash. ...

My parents listened to a lot of Peter, Paul and Mary when I was growing up...

As of today, I think I can deliver the bacon in person. Work has a funny way of ruining plans such as this, but I've got it on my calendar, and hope to be able to make it happen. I'll be driving...

Sitting here, allegedly working on an assessment for a client, I've got the Bob Newhart Show (the Chicago psychologist one) running in the background. It's fantastic. This particular episode...

I think that the whole notion of secondary, as it relates to relatively low-gravity American/British ales, is related to the use of bright tanks in commercial breweries. Obviously, if you're dosing...

Is it done? There's little point to moving to secondary if you've still got active fermentation going (presuming you're using it mostly to clear the beer or as a dry hop). If your hydrometer...

nice....

bump for season three. Show has definitely found its rhythm.

Ripped pretty much straight from our internal job req:

We are seeking a full-time Software Engineer to design new education-based interfaces using object-oriented JavaScript technologies. This...

(a bit of a brag) Tomorrow's going to be a crazy day. I'm meeting with the owner of a local chain of beer-friendly restaurants, who is interested in talking with me about brewing a custom beer (as...

I'll admit I don't know enough about the specifics to make this totally worthwhile, but if you recognize "Selenium", there's a chance you're more qualified than most. My company's looking for a...

I made 98, I think.

I picked up a Roku 1080p box off of Woot for about $50 a few weeks back, and it definitely does a great job streaming Netflix and Amazon Instant Video (I have a "prime" subscription, so I get those...

If the segment I just saw on CNN is any indication, it should read "a year and a half and counting". A lot of crybabies.

Saw this in the Post today, figured it belonged here as well as anywhere else: ...

Gotta add these (none of whom are dead, and only one of whom is moderately old):

Marc Maron
Doug Stanhope (forgive him the awful "Man Show" stuff)
John Mulaney
Patton Oswalt

i feel like a johnny-come-lately to the whole go-go thing, but I can't listen to Chuck Brown's stuff without a smile. I took for granted the influence he had, since I didn't realize quite how...

Zach Zamboni is one of them, anyway. They did an episode a few seasons back where they went to his family's cabin in Maine (Milo, in fact. A Penquis Valley/UMaine grad).

Check these out, too:...

Rev. Jim Ignatowski
Elliot Carlin

Any interest in selling the 28 2.8 on its own?

FIFY.

You can't say that the conservative thinks that the church should take the role of government, because they don't think that government should be in that role in the first place. Secondly,...

I didn't mean to be pedantic, I just misunderstood. Even with the "head start", it took me more than 4 years to finish, partly because even though I tested out of things, I couldn't take the next...

No idea, but your dad and uncle have a moderately entertaining comedy act.

I actually graduated from TJHSST (weird to see that come up here), and graduated with a number of AP credits, which allowed me into a few 200-level classes off the bat, and saved a few dollars. I...
