Got to see the preview of Dan's Brunch of the Living Dead short film at tonight's meetup (which was a lot of fun with lots of new and old faces BTW).
Very funny and excellently done. The shot of zombie-Joan eating brains and gristle was great. Everybody involved did a great job and I'm looking forward to seeing the final release.
This is kind of a cool and novel project that slipped by me. The Free Beer concept takes a beer recipe and releases it under a Creative Commons license. Anybody can take the recipe, brew it, modify it and even sell it as long as credit is given and the modified recipe is published
The recipe and branding elements of FREE BEER is published under a Creative Commons (Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5) license, which means that anyone can use the recipe to brew their own FREE BEER or create a derivative of the recipe. Anyone is free to earn money from FREE BEER, but they must publish the recipe under the same license and credit our work. All design and branding elements are available to beer brewers, and can be modified to suit, provided changes are published under the same license ("Attribution & Share Alike")
The most recent version is Free Beer v3.4, but it's in Portuguese so you'll need a translator
Here's an idea. How about some of our Lowcountry homebrewers give one of the recipes a try and show off the results at one of our meetups! Maybe they could even make up a Lowcountry version of Free Beer too! Some guys in Knoxville TN came up with v3.3. I'm sure brewers around here could whip up something too. I think that would be pretty awesome.

Bad: Came home to a poopy smelling house. It was Simba.
Good: There wasn't a lot of it
Bad: It was all over Nala's crate too.
Good: Simba must have cleaned up after himself
Bad: Simba must have cleaned up after himself
Good: Simba threw it back up
Bad: Simba really did clean up after himself
Good: He threw up outside on the back porch

TV-free for a whole month!
Have I missed it? Maybe a little bit. Definitely feeling a little out-of-touch with the world. Maybe I should start getting the newspaper again.
Do I want it back? At the moment, not really.
Am I ready to cancel Comcast? Thinking about it. It would free up $75/mo that would definitely be very handy.
On to month 2!

So when my dogs come to me and start licking my hands enthusiastically after dinner, are they:
- just trying to say "Thanks! Dinner was great! We love you!"
- trying to share what they just ate thinking I'll share some of my food?
- just trying to wipe that nasty salmon oil I put on their food off their tongues?
Just one of many random thoughts that ran through my fever-addled brain today
