Lego man in space: one (very) small step
Two teenagers from Toronto sent a Lego man carrying a Canadian flag into the stratosphere. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, attached four cameras to a balloon carrying the toy astronaut 24km above Earth. A week after launch they recovered their Lego man in a field, and discovered they had captured stunning space...

Thanks, Tumblr, for getting rid of backdating...
They got rid of timestamping, so now I can’t backdate posts so more important posts for the day appear at the top of my beer blog.
Tumblr: becoming less and less useful for me by the day.

Truer fact.
I haven’t been on a date in six months.
That’s almost as terrifying as actually dating.

Dating is fucking terrifying.

As the guy who tweeted about the Sixpoint/21st Amendment thing, I’ve got a comment or two…
Westside are putting themselves at risk here, at least in terms of being a place people shop for beer. Up until a year ago, give or take a couple of months, they were the best option for bottled/canned craft beer in the neighborhood. They were overpriced, but they had the best selection and are...

OMG YOU GUYZ, what's wrong with Wikipedia?!
For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more.
I think that’s pretty clear! Yet there are tweets like this:
Why the FUCK is wikipedia...

Bike ticket insanity
The NY Post reported that the 19th precinct of the NYPD - which covers the Upper East Side - issued 6,600 citations to cyclists in 2011. Apparently, this is something to be proud of. Now, I’m all for issuing tickets to cyclists for serious violations - my top two being sidewalk riding and wrong-way riding - but it becomes scary how much of a hard-on the NYPD has for ticketing cyclists when...
It's obvious that I have gay neighbors
Their first party since they moved in six months ago? A Golden Globes-watching party.

In which I rant about New York legislators who lack political will to overhaul a broken system, and instead make tiny exceptions to the law for their brewery-owning friends.
Not that this surprises me in the least.

Yup. That’s the one who wears a boot on his head. He also glitter-bombed one of his opponents at a “Lesser-Known Candidiates Debate” last month.
