Speaking of Drinking…

Bourbon ManhattanDo you like hooch?  Yeah me too.  And not just a little bit, and not the cheap stuff either.  I like interesting, tasty cocktails made out of quality ingredients.  In fact, I like booze so much I’m in the midst of working up the nerve to start a podcast about those venerable spirits.  And while I work up that nerve (with the help of liquid courage, of course) you don’t have to wait around do noting.   In the interim, you can see me speak about cocktails at a variety of locations around Portland.  Talks have been submitted to both CocktailCamp and Ignite Portland and I’m quite looking forward to showing all the brew fans in Portland what a good Manhattan tastes like.

cheers!

  • Mac Tablet Lust

    One good thing about working for myself this month has been my ability to catch up on Mac rumors and track the upcoming Apple Tablet, whose existence is pretty much assumed by now, but whose features are being hotly debated and speculated over. It’s not just the tablet that gets me excited.  Apple

  • Available for Weddings & Bar Mitzvahs…

    Remember what I said  about reading me over @ Elemental?  Well, don’t do that.  Last week, Elemental and I part ways, unfortunately.  The good news is, I’ll probably be writing more here now, as I’ll most likely be consulting in the online and video space again (for the first time in about 6 years). I’m honestly
