The Boilover

Who knows, some of these may show up in my house….

So I might have fibbed a little bit last night when closing my tab with Tabb at the Bell’s tasting. 5chw4r7z and I are closing our respective lines of credit and Tabb asks for my last name. I reply with mine and follow up with “and he’s 5chw4r7z,” to which I get the ‘dude, I know who he is, he writes a blog’ look. Bob pipes in, “he writes a blog too,” to which I add, “Yeah, theboilover.com it’s a beer blog man!”

Thus, I figured I better post some beer related content today….Beer Blog Fridays…. [Update: It's now Fermentable Friday aka Friday? BEER!]

The quintessential Cincy blogger said it best. It was good, but Hopslam and good company were the real reasons you were there.

Cool little pass throughs, alleys, etc…it’s part of what makes city living so cool. At the same time, it affords people the opportunity to do less than savory things (sell drugs or themselves, use it as a bathroom, etc). This little cut through from Race to the Vine/McMicken park is pretty cool, it’s a shame it was just fenced off due the drug activity. But fences are only temporary, and the more residents that move in and keep their eyes on the street, the less alleyways and the like become desirable dope spots. I hope I’m reposting this a few years from now when it’s covered in new paint, new lighting, and surrounded by new housing.

Case of the Mondays returns with a I-almost-pooped-myself-just-watching-this clip. Filmed at Vikersundbakken, the largest ski flying hill in the world.

Hat tip to @TEFennell4 for posting this and getting me back on my Monday game.

Talk about a week for upgrades. The company I work for has relocated from loft office space on 8th St downtown to Class A office space in Saengerhalle on Race St in OTR. My commute got shorter by a block, and it will shrink again when I move to my new pad further up Race St (I know, I’m overdue for an update on that project, but it is moving).

On top of that, my girlfriend, who was tired of hearing me bitch about my now 4 year old (and semi broken) camera, sprung a belated birthday/valentines day gift on me in the form of a 14.1 MP Sony DSC-W330.

So I figured I would post a few pix from the new cam, and what better locales than in and around the new office space.

It all started with lunch at Enzo's and some macro shots

The walk back up to the new office

Oh, and the camera has smile detection, which gets hilarious pix
