Top Gear: Audi Q7 vs. Volvo XC90, Olympic Style!
2.17.2006 | 11:36 amI 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!
Beer Review: Sam Adams Utopias
2.14.2006 | 5:10 pmA 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.

Movie Review: When a Stranger Calls
2.14.2006 | 11:56 amI 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?

Masterwerk.
2.13.2006 | 10:30 pmI stumbled across a mini site for the new type 997 Porsche 911 Turbo. The car hasn’t been ‘officially released’ yet, but the site is pretty cool. There is an extensive video of the history of Porsche and their use of turbo chargers, and some quality wallpapers for your desktop.

Specs:
- 480HP @ 6000rpm
- 457 ft/lb torque
- 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds
- $122,900
Masterwerk. The new Porsche 911 Turbo.

Gizoogle, biatch.
2.10.2006 | 11:57 amGoogle, I aplogize to you, for I have now found my new favorite search engine. I dedicate a certain amount of time during my workday to browsing the internet, and i happened across Gizoogle. Gizoogle provides the same search engine capabilities as Google, but translates search results into the universial language known as Jive. Gizoogle extends it’s Jive features even further when you click on a search result by translating that page into Jive as well.

2.7.2006 | 3:07 pmYou’ve read it right. Fengsworld is now official. Fengsworld is a product of two guys (my roomates) spending 2 days on the sofa, inebriated, and recording it all to make the greatest podcast ever. Expect guest appearances of myself in future episodes. Don’t forget to check out the MoBlog too, definitely hours on entertainment.
Happy Holidays!
1.3.2006 | 3:45 pmI hope everyone scored some sweet toys for Christmas, and had a good time on New Years. I was home for about 2 weeks, and it was very action packed. I bought myself some new skis and spent as much time as I could on the slopes while I was home. I spent a lot of time hanging out with my family and friends too.
Katie and I drove to Pottsville and went on the Yuengling Brewery tour, I took some good pictures of the brewery and the caves below, and posted them to my photo gallery.

New Years was definitely good times. Jared, Matt, Ashley, Katie and I made some dinner, had some drinks, played Drunk Jenga, and watched the ball drop. Everyone had fun except for Matt because he can’t remember anything that happened… Check out the New Years Party pictures in the photo gallery.
And, if you’re bored, Here is a sweet commercial for the Audi RS4 that I found.
Oh yeah, all the presents I bought my family for Christmas, they already had. I sucked at Christmas this year.
