The Pub / Here We Go Again... Tsunami Warning For Pacific Basin
« on: October 27, 2012, 10:59:06 PM »
The sirens are wailing here again. A 7.7M earthquake off of the Queen Charlotte Islands of Canada have generated a tsunami warning for Hawaii. ETA 10:28 HST - about two and a half hours from now.
The tsunami sirens are VERY creepy! Kinda like when Gozilla invades Tokyo...
I hope all of those affected by the earthquake in Canada are OK.

Questions about the forum? / Tapa Talk
« on: October 16, 2012, 08:19:00 PM »
Something new and extremely annoying on this forum:
Every time I navigate to this forum on my iPhone now I get a popup window trying to shove Tapa Talk down my throat. After I dismiss the download app window I have to log in again, even after I check the keep me logged in radio button at log in.
I do not want to download Tapa Talk. If you ask me 100 times the answer will still be no.
**Edit:
Problem solved. Drew's cookie settings fix below was the answer.**

The Pub / New Quentin... !
« on: October 14, 2012, 09:02:35 PM »
While watching the Giants - Cards game I saw a trailer for:
The Man with the Iron Fists
"Alright!" says I a new Kung Fu movie with Lucy Liu. Hubba hubba!! (oh, and Russell Crowe too).
While noodling around looking it up I came across this:

I knew when The Bride said what she said that this would be coming someday...

I was flippin through the channels over the weekend and saw The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo was on. I've read the book, so I decided to watch the movie. The opening titles rocked me back in my seat I am a Led Head, but never have much cared for any covers of their songs.. until now. This cover of Immigrant Song and the opening title sequence are awesome! It speaks to my Viking blood.
So here I sit at my computer station doing what I have to do for work half the time - research, design, and reporting. Only now I've got my Led out.
I kinda let Led Zeppelin fall by the wayside of the playlist rotation for a while now. Funny how a cover can reinvigorate a passion for the original. What's old is new again...
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands...
On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

General Homebrew Discussion / On This Day in 1989...
« on: March 17, 2012, 09:48:24 PM »
It was on St. Patricks Day in 1989 that I brewed my first batch of beer, a five gallon extract IPA kit that I had bought from Alternative Beverages.
When was your first?

Events / Forum Member NHC ID
« on: March 07, 2012, 09:41:32 PM »
I've been thinking that it would be pretty cool for all of the forum members attending the NHC to make a secret marker or something to attach to their NHC badges that identifies themselves to other akamai forum members, but leaves everyone else either clueless or wondering...
Maybe we could just put a small sticker on the badge that says 4M.
Then the fun part will be trying to figure out who you all are.
Any ideas?
