This one took a while

I had a dream last night where I cold fly with a single small helium balloon tied to my back. I had to use a pole to grab on to tall buildings if I wanted to change direction or momentum.

Some Things You Didn't Know About Pirate Clothing

Most pirates didn't wear tri-cornered hats. The wind on a ship at sea would be likely to blow them off, and they were not practical when climbing on the rigging. Pirates wore bandanas to keep the sun off their heads, but they also believed that a tightly tied bandana on the head was a way to keep from getting seasickness.

Pirates often went barefoot on the ship. This gave them a better feel for the movement of the ship and helped them keep their sea-legs. If they did wear footwear, they wore sandals made from rope. Pirates only wore boots when going into battle. They did this to protect their feet from debris on the deck and as a place to store extra daggers.

Red and yellow scarves were used in a lot of pirate movies because they showed up well when new color processes came into use. Lots of burning ships were used in these movies for the same reason.

Beer Basket Review #8

Erdinger Weißbier - I've had this once before, so I think I can honestly say I don't like it. It is a little harsh as wheat beers go. It rides a line between sweet and bitter without ever taking sides, and that is where it becomes questionable.

The two remaining beers from the basket are Paulaner and Franziskaner, which I probably don't need to review since you've heard all about them before. I saved the best (and a known entity) to savor last.

Beer Basket Review #7

Schneider Weisse Orignal - Good flavor and body, slightly bitter finish. When they say unfiltered they mean unfiltered!.

Only 3 beers left in the basket (although, they're not really in the basket. They're in the 'figerator').

This is an old picture of me that bears great sentimental value for me. This was the picture of me that appeared on the first personal web page I ever made. This was before personal pages really existed and most of the people I knew barely had even a notion of what the internet was. I learned to write HTML from a small tutorial text file in the downloads section of rowdy internet border town of AOL. This was also one (of many) of my earliest digital photos. It was taken with an Hitachi VHS camera hooked up to my original computer, a Macintosh Quadra 660 AV. This is also the original size and quality of the picture.
