Lame
“Who do I blame for this stupid web page magazine?”
The discontented fruits of the Reagan era middle class whom, by the laziest means (i.e. Wordpress), attempt to disassociate themselves from their Bible-belt, JC Penney’s, Disney Afternoon upbringing with this smoker’s wheeze excuse for journalism and op-ed dreck are alphabetically represented here:
Chris: Um… I’m a web admin for a state agency. I spend my days knee deep in content management systems and answering questions about social media. I didn’t drink beer until college, and didn’t drink good beer until about five years ago. I’ve been an on and off homebrewer since 2006, my favorite recipe is a dry hopped rye, my default beer is an IPA or rye ale. My beer Degobah was Washington state and my beer Yoda was my corporate AMEX. Besides beer, I like my wife, chess, Apple stuff, music, disc golf, and the Internet.
JIB: I’m a entrepreneur and web designer. I am still a novice when it comes to beer knowledge and was only introduced to good beer about two years ago. My most common description of a beer I like is “tasty.” And I can’t but laugh when others make fun of me for that. I am learning more every week thanks to Chris and Shawn. I enjoy hanging with my wife, being outside, riding my fixed gear bike everywhere possible, and brainstorming new projects, among other things.
Shawn: I’m a software trainer by day, semi-pro beer photog by night. My beer history is similar to Chris’ as we went to the same conservative undergrad college, both made poor beverage choices early on, then wised up while traversing the better taps of Colorado and Washington state the summer of 2006 (also via a corporate AMEX). I like IPAs, my fall back beer is Live Oak IPA, maybe Stone IPA, I homebrew some, and enjoy travel, politics, and trying to play the drums.
If it weren’t for fear of being tattled on for “surfing the net” at work (we already have one strike), this page site would have more content.
Maybe this weekend between trips to the outlet mall and Ikea we’ll have time to put more up, or probably just go to Chili’s with our wives and girl friends.
“Why take even the little amount of time you do spend on this site away from doing things like eating out at chain theme restaurants and watching Seth Rogen movies?”
Because we also drink beer while doing those things, and we think that Austin is a pretty good town to drink it in. Also, we hope to one day get some of those free business cards with our logo on them to hand out to bars and breweries and hopefully get free beer in return.
