Winter beer tasting



Winter beer tasting

Originally uploaded by gt2697

Court and I spent last night tasting the various winter ales that we could find at our local specialty grocer. From left to right, this was our favorite;

Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale

Anchor Brewing Christmas Ale

Pyramid Snow Cap

Red Hook Winter Hook

Blue Moon Full Moon

It’s fun to be able to have someone to try them with so you can sample more!

The New Belgium Frambozen is still my favorite holiday ale…

Steve gets a Tilt to review

Steve has received an AT&T Tilt and will be providing his review of the device in the upcoming weeks.  I had the unit for a few days, and it didn’t fit how I like to use a phone.  I look forward to his impressions of this powerful and robust smartphone!

<> If you look closely, you can see that I have tethered
my laptop via Bluetooth to my Treo and am slinging video over the
laptop. This came in very handy 2 times for me today. Once, I was
playing some recorded content from my home DVR to my staff to show them
some press we received, the other was just now where I wanted to record
something tonight before I get home. I have to say that the ease of the
internet sharing application on the Treo makes the HSDPA very useful!

This one is a bit better. Camera phones leave a lot to be desired.

I had the opportunity to see Rachael Ray in person tonight in a q and a session. This photo is a bit blurry, but it was very fun!

TCPJ showing up on mytreo.net

As most of you know, each week I am one of the co-hosts of the msmobiles.com podcast. I spend 30-60 minutes talking about mostly Windows Mobile devices with Edward, and then Tadd from mytreo.net follows up with another 60 minutes or so chatting about different topics. Tadd has been nice enough over the past few weeks to have The Cell Phone Junkie show linked back to on his posts. I just wanted to take a moment to thank him for doing so, and for being a supporter, even though my irrational tendencies to jump from one device to another so quickly seem to drive him crazy.

Head over to this link to see his latest post about it!

How is TCPJ content decided?

Each week, I read hundreds of news stories that lead to the selection of certain ones that we talk about on The Cell Phone Junkie shows.  The below information shows you that I read almost 5,500 stores in the past month for the shows that we produce.  If you’d like the inside track on what we might be talking about in the upcoming show, visit my Google Reader Shared Items page to read the articles I’ve tagged as news worthy.
