I just picked myself up a Flip UltraHD and made a Vimeo account. Of course the first video is of my favorite subject, Moe.

Pretty good ads this year. Hulu made a widget to embed all of the ads, check it out:

I have all of the pictures from Prague and London up in the gallery, check them out.

  

I found some great video clips on YouTube and Google Video today from the newest episode of Top Gear. This week the show is ‘Olmypic’ themed, and Jeremy and James race a Q7 and XC90 Biathalon style. Check out the videos, its worth it.

As you can tell, I’m still deciding whether i like Google Video, or YouTube better. You be the judge!

A suggestion from my associate Youse, to start writing reviews on beers that I have tried. I figured since I try so many different beers that it would make sense to sharing my thoughts.

I attended the Extreme Beer Fest this weekend which is held annualy by BeerAdvocate.com at the Boston Center for the Arts. This is the second time I attended a beer fest held by BeerAdvocate, and I highly recommend them. Up next is the American Beer Fest on June 16 and 17.

The highlight of the show for me was the chance to taste Sam Adams Utopias. I have been craving a taste of this beer since I first moved to Boston and took a tour of the Sam Adams brewery. Details:

The latest in our strong brews, Samuel Adams Utopias™ has been brewed in two small limited batches to date. The first batch which was released in 2001 as Samuel Adams Utopias MMII™ topped out at 24% ABV, while the second batch which was released in 2003 as Samuel Adams Utopias™ pushed the alcohol to 25.6% ABV. Both batches were released only once and in limited quantities.

Samuel Adams Utopias™ was brewed at a very high gravity using a wide variety of malted barley and a touch of maple syrup. It was then fermented and conditioned in a blend of scotch, bourbon, port and cognac casks for up to ten months using a pair of proprietary yeast strains we developed at our Boston Brewery.

I was only given a small sample at the beer fest, but I must say it was the most unique beer I have ever tasted. I highly recommend trying some if you ever get the chance. I have only seen 1 bottle for sale at Kappy’s, and there are a couple up for sale on eBay right now.

I went to see When a Stranger Calls last night, which is a remake of the 1979 horror movie “When a Stranger Calls” Let me just say it was better then I expected it to be, but it was still a lame movie. The build-up of the movie took forever and then BOOM it was over. What I did not like was that most parts that would normally scare you were shown in the previews so you knew what was going to happen. I would go into more detail but I don’t want to ruin the movie for you. I will just say that it is a typical scary-teen movie.

All-in-all I will give this movie a C+. Not really worth seeing in the theaters, but if you’re bored on a rainy day I guess it could be a rental.

The End?
