Yeah, I know the title leaves the taste of 90’s deodorant and Slim Jim commercials in your mouth, but at least it’s a really cool event. It’s the annual Extreme Beer Fest run by the beer advocate. How is it really extreme? Almost all the beers available are high gravity beers. From the marginally extreme Rodenbach at 5.1%, all the way up to Samuel Adams Utopias at 25%. You’d seriously have a hard time finding wines at that percentage. Not only are the alcohol percentages up there, but many of the beers have out-there ingredients and flavors. Even Michelob and Budweiser are bringing beers you can’t buy at the store, some of which are 10% and up. Just keep this in mind: drinking your eighth Peanut Butter Porter is a lot like driving a big rig, it’s a whole lot less fun in reverse.

Over at Toronto City Noise they captured a motorist attacking a bike messenger. The story can be read at Spacing Wire; apparently the biker ‘returned’ a burger that the motorist threw out of his SUV which, of course, he took the wrong way. Check out the first link, they managed to capture some great action shots. Its got to be fantastic having your picture on the web for assaulting a women on her bike; hope he has a wonderful week.

I’m always searching for new ways to discover new music, and really dig the idea of large collaborative recommendation systems.  Someone recently pointed me to Pandora, a web app put together by the folks at the Music Genome Project.  This is in the same vein as MusicPlasma but uses a different source for recommendations.  The idea is that you put in the name of a song or artist you like, and it will create a custom radio station for you.  The interface is very well done, and there is some good logic that makes the feedback from the system pretty nice.  Check it out.

Saw THIS today on CNN.  It will be a web show, which will make regular viewing a little tougher, but they should archive it to catch later.  I imagine like all things Family Guy, it should be fucking hilarious.

You know those paddles on the ambulance? Well, you can kind of think of them as a life inverter. Are you or a loved-one dead? Zap! Life inverter brings you back. Now, the real problem pops up when you start using them to invert living people. Put it this way, nothing says involuntary manslaughter like slapping those paddles on a fellow EMT and letting the juice flow. Just ask this guy.

Also, I got the book image above from popcult.com where they reviewed the five most ridiculous “Idiots Guide” books.

This is one of the stranger remixes I have ever seen. In Juno’s reggae listings they have a 12″ of the Spongebob Squarepants theme remixed by Elephant Man, who’s usually has great dancehall stuff. Now its not the best sounding track ever, but anyone who dares remix the Spongebob gets plenty of credit for their effort. Check it out here.
