Guinness launched a funny ad campaign recently about trying to make St. Patrick’s Day an “official” US Holiday. They also have put up website about it at proposition317.com. The aim of the site was to get 1 million digital signatures from people supporting their proposition by midnight last night. Guinness only ended up with about [...]
I recently got a Canon HV20 HD Camcorder. After lots of fidgeting the last 2 evenings, I sort of got some video that was decent. See for yourself. It’s a little jumpy, a byproduct of my shooting at 24 frames per second. Or maybe I encoded it all fucked up. You have to start somewhere.
Knut Albert is a beer blogger. He took a photo of the beer selection at Whole Foods in Kensington (London). I’m happy to see that Flying Dog’s Snake Dog IPA is there, in the bottom right. It’s fucking cool that my buddy Alex can go to his local Whole Foods and find our beer.

Smirnoff Ice’s domain is www.SmirnoffIce.com, but it can just as easily be read as www.SmirnOffice.com. Sort of makes me want to reigster www.Smirn-Office.com or a similar derivative. I also think their advertising campaign is a little on the weak side. The other beer company that has some bad advertising is Warsteiner. Their catchphrase is “Life’s [...]
I’ve been enshrined as the writer of today’s Beer Haiku. Good times.
Brewhouse Beer has a simple website with a cool hook, DIY t-shirts that pimp their beer. Enter any 3 lines of text and print out your own t-shirt (there are some really funny instructions about how to get the artwork onto the shirt). I only wish that they had the gallery working! Anyhow, I think [...]
