Brooklyn Brewery

Jessica and I are hanging out with my friend Jesse today. We already got breakfast pizza at Motorino and now we're tasting beers at Brooklyn's most famous brewery.

July 4th Weekend with Alex

So I have already posted tons of evidence of my trip in VA last weekend via my iPhizzie but here are the official pics. My brother Alex was kind enough to let me stay with him in this little room in the house he lives at. We went tubing with his boys on the James river and also drove to West Virgina for some rock climbing. Apparently my little brother is the Lance Armstrong of climbing or something. He rocked it, I sucked hard but had a lot of fun. We also had a BBQ, played stump and lit some fireworks but I forgot to bring the camera for that part. Probably was a good call.

 Seeing Alex capped a week of visits with my family. My Dad came up to see me and then my sister was in town for interviews before I left for this trip. Getting some bonus familytime has been a nice perk of moving back east.

Dyson Airblade

Welcome to the future, the future of hand drying that is.  While I was dismayed that our homeland security dollars are clearly being wasted on the wrong improvements (fancy hand dryers) at the wrong airports (Charlottesville-Albemarle) , I am encouraged to see that this company, Dyson is out there rethinking everyday appliances with innovative designs like this one.  After I used this hand-dryer, excuse me, AirBlade, my hands never felt dryer or cleaner after washing them in a public bathroom.

Garry, your post about Dyson is so true.  There really is space for innovation everywhere.

Sheetz Blows My Mind!

This gas station chain in VA has these consoles where you can submit requests for made-to-order food. I ordered a breakfast sandwich with exactly what I wanted on it without waiting in a line or talking to an employee and it was only $2.50. Plus the bathrooms were super clean. Very nice work, Sheetz. You get an A+.
