Lagunitas Brewing Company’s Brown Shugga

Published February 8, 2009

Lagunitas Brewing Co's Brown Shugga Ale, poured into an MMBA pint glass. This is nicely hoppy, and has a very obvious brown sugar taste. It's great.

Tonight I’m having a bottle of Lagunitas Brewing Company‘s Brown Shugga Ale. It’s a really brown sugar-tasting, moderately hopped brown ale. It’s also 9.5%.

This is definitely a nice beer at the end of a nice, but productive, day. Danielle made an absolutely wonderful dinner of bean, cheese, and onion enchiladas, complete with freshly made refried beans. She also made the kitchen nicely clean, as I spent lots of time doing laundry almost to completion and beginning to straighten up the basement.

ProLink + Thermal Paper

Published February 8, 2009

Thermal paper receipts darken in the presence of vapors from ProLink chain lube.

These receipts printed on thermal paper darkened when they were exposed to vapors from ProLink Chain Lube. The receipts are from a few days ago, and after lubricating my chain yesterday I tossed the paper towels wetted with ProLink into the same trash can which held these receipts. Today when taking out the trash I noticed that these receipts had darkened markedly, in interesting patterns. It surprises me that no region containing text was darkened.

CadSoft EAGLE Manuals

Published February 8, 2009

Every time one acquires a new EAGLE license, CadSoft sends it with a new manual and tutorial.

One of the most frustrating parts of acquiring a new CadSoft EAGLE license is waiting for the license to actually arrive. CadSoft insists on sending them via UPS, along with a full new set of manuals and paperwork. This incurs a $15 shipping charge, plus a 3-5 day wait for it all to arrive. Also, if one is following some upgrade path one ends up with quite a few redundant manuals.

I’ll be taking the 4.1 manuals out for recycling today.
