My Photos from the Philadelphia Flower Show


I took some pictures at the Philadelphia Flower Show, mostly of orchids. I have one in sitting in the window next to me which is about to bloom any day now.

Beer Store on a Beautiful Day

Trips to the homebrew supply store are:
"always a pleasurue, never a chore"
words spoken by George, purveyor of Home Sweet Homebrew, about serving us in his store. Its great to know that he feels the same way about the experience as we do.

We got 10lbs of Caramunich malt and established that it is fact acceptable to stick your nose "all up in the hops" before deciding on your purchase.

Yards Brewing Company - Philadelphia

I went to Yards Brewery in the Kensignton section of North Philadelphia. That place is shiznite. They give you a tour and then let you chill out in this big room with couches, pool table and a jukebox. You have to bring you're own food but they provide all the beer for free. The people that own it and work there are great. I like several of of their beers very much including the IPA, and the whole Presidential line.

Firefox made $72M last year

Firefox raked in the loot, almost entirely from the google search in the upper right hand corner. If you click a sponsored (pay per click) link after searching in the ff search box ff gets paid. I think this could be useful/profitable for my current employer. I'm going to present it to the gals later (so they don't think I was digging on the job). Come to think of it, I have learned so much useful stuff from digg that the whole company should have required daily diggs. We would be much more plugged in and hip if that were the case

I dont usually geek out too hard here but i needed somewhere to put this for safe keeping. I created a LAMP presentation for a potential client a couple months back. I will post it here shortly. This is a major step for theses technologies, which have had the attention of the digirati for some time. Another brick out of the wall that is microsoft and over- priced, crappy software
