Flights of Fancy

Mem­phis Tap­room Flight, orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by J T. Ram­say.

Mem­phis Tap­room intro­duced flights dur­ing their Mys­tery Beer Week­end and nev­er stopped. For just $10 it’s a great way to sam­ple sev­er­al dif­fer­ent beers with­out dent­ing your wallet…or your head. I went home hap­py after tast­ing these three beauties.

My iPhone Home Screen

What a mess!

I start­ed fol­low­ing First & 20 dur­ing our trip to Out­er Banks this year. Their iPhone home screen series has been very inter­est­ing. As I’ve men­tioned before, my iPhone became some­thing of a life­line while I was in the hos­pi­tal with Helen when Char­lie was born. I scoured the app store in a sleep-deprived haze for any­thing to keep me alert and occu­pied dur­ing those 3 a.m. feed­ings. Let me put it to you straight: there are a ton of apps and most of them are garbage. First & 20’s series then seemed like the answer to my prayers. I will final­ly com­plete­ly opti­mize my iPhone home screen! How pos­i­tive­ly geeky! Con­tin­ue read­ing

My Thermals Session

The Ther­mals were kind enough to stop by the Com­cast Cen­ter when they were in town to play a few songs and talk to me about their new album, Now We Can See. The Ther­mals are the sort of band who do every­thing right, but I’m not sure they’ll ever get the main­stream recog­ni­tion they deserve.

I have to say I’m extreme­ly proud of every­one who par­tic­i­pat­ed in mak­ing this look so great. I wish it were pos­si­ble to do more, but we sim­ply could­n’t get enough trac­tion to sup­port it. Tell me how you think it came out!
