Star Trek Into Darkness again
The theme from the new Star Trek movie has been grinding relentlessly through my head for the past two weeks, which tells me that there is something buried deep within my brains that wants to get out, so I’m going to see whether or not a little drivel therapy will help this demon to escape.… Read.

wiry
I’ve spent the afternoon wiring the control panel that I will someday plug my electric beer-brewing kettles into, if and when I ever complete it. The wiring’s not complicated – if it were, I would have given up before I started and gone back to extract brewing, boiling beer in my garage the way I’ve… Read.

this makes beer
This machine makes beer. I was up way past my bed time working on it last night. I was so absolutely bushed after finishing up that, when I finally came upstairs, I took each of the cats aside and explained to them that anybody who woke me up before five o’clock in the morning was… Read.

Star Trek Into Darkness
If you liked the last Star Trek movie, an alternate Trek universe as imagined by Lost creator JJ Abrams, but the uneven reviews of the new movie have you wondering if you should give the newest movie a pass, I would say, Go. See it. You’ll have a good time. I did. I didn’t think… Read.

Even though I’ve never especially liked David Bowie’s Space Oddity, this cover by ISS commander Chris Hadfield is not only just plain awesome, the production values are going to be hard for anyone else to beat ever: Hadfield is a Canadian member of the ISS and is playing a Canadian-made Larrivee Parlor guitar – how… Read.

electric brewery
Before I tell you what I’ve been doing with wire and a sharp knife, here’s a disclaimer that I like to share as often as possible: Always cut away from you. You will not take this advice, of course. I don’t know anybody who ever did. I never did. I used my sharp knives any… Read.

dark, fiery & sensual
We’re a little bushed after a week of debauched revelry, I can tell you. Drinking a beer or two nearly every night for a week at various neighborhood taverns will do that to a couple of inert homebodies like us, but when it comes to festivals like Madison Craft Beer Week, we feel a certain… Read.
