In the future, all workplace communication will happen with signs.
Boulevard’s highly anticipated Chocolate Ale will be in stores and bars soon. If last year’s release was any indication, it’s going to be hard to get your hands on a bottle of this tasty stuff. That’s why I created a web app that will help you find Chocolate Ale.
Where To Find Boulevard Chocolate Ale
Enjoy! And good luck!
How and when do you listen to podcasts? (especially lengthy ones like that!) I've never gotten into them much, but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
This is a great question and something that I’ve been thinking quite a bit about lately. I would love to listen to more podcasts and audio books, but I don’t have a job that makes it easy to put on my headphones and pay attention. Do any of us, really? The podcasts that I enjoy are ones that demand your full attention, they’re not something that’s easy to keep up with while you’re reading and responding to emails or being constantly interrupted with meetings and requests.
So I’ve been trying to start a few habits that help me towards my goal of consuming more worthwhile, DIY, hand made media. The first is turning what was TV time into podcast time. Whenever I feel the impulse to watch TV, I just listen to something in my queue instead. The second habit is to pop in my ear buds and listen in bed before I pass out.
I, like everybody, don’t have many passive hours in a given day. I try to make the most out of the ones I do have and listen to some of these really great, funny and genuinely interesting shows:
"If you dream of getting rock star parking in front of the restaurant, the only way you’ll ever get it is if you actually drive by the restaurant. If you keep parking six blocks away because you know that’s where the parking is, then you’re going to have that experience where you walk up to the restaurant and there’s a parking spot there and you’re going to think, “Aw, that could have been mine.” So drive by the restaurant."

I really love this analogy and this whole episode is one of the best conversations I’ve heard about doing what you love, and why that’s not as clean-cut as it sounds.

Stereo Dipolomacy
The Issue:
I like the music a bit louder. She likes the music a bit softer. We’re at opposite ends of the couch. I have the bluetooth keyboard for the Mac that’s streaming the music. She has the remote to the A/V receiver that the Mac is hooked up to. Here is how the situation plays out in the framework of national politics.
- I turn up the volume on the Mac. — A bill is introduced.
- She turns down the volume on the receiver. — The bill is debated in the house.
- I turn up the volume a bit more on the Mac. — The majority exerts its influence to advance the bill.
- She hits the power button the the receiver. — The opposition exercises the nuclear option.
Then, unlike national politics, we laugh about the situation and find a happy medium so we can both enjoy the music. Hey Washington, you could take a lesson or two from modern couples with complicated stereo systems!
Anyone else in the Crossroads been noticing all the new robot faces? I kinda like ‘em.

Not only was Louis C.K.’s online experiment a huge success, but every part of the experience sounds like Louis wrote it. I’m a sucker for that level of attention to detail.
Well done, asshole.
I’m With Stupid
For reference, the Mac is pointing to the PC. I like to get inside the minds of my computers and make them compete for my love.
