Brew Pubs in Atlanta


Brew Pubs in Atlanta, originally uploaded by astoriahermit.

Thank you Sky magazine on board for pointing me toward a brew pub in Atlanta. Stay tuned for the full report.

While we're on the subject the Samuel Adams pub-straunt at the Delta Terminal 3, JFK is a portrait of farsical. First of all there was a 30 min wait for food... At an airport restaurant, you have to be kidding. Mercifully, we just got a beer. Here is the real travesty, $7.58 for a pint of Sam Adams. I think Mr. Adams owes me a few dollars because the disparity in cost to value is epic. I think I may have to add Sam Adams to my 'don't bother' list as a part of my new No-Inferior-Beer policy.

Delta Airlines: Empty flight to Atlanta

So we missed the 1:55 flight and had to take the 3:30. Apparently the reason the ticket cost so much was that nobody wants to go to Atlanta.

Photoshop Tips 101 in 5minutes

Foo pointed this one out. After watching it It's pretty darn good. Just a lot to absorb.

I went ahead and embedded it here, but it's definitely worth taking a look at forgetfoo.com to keep up with what he's throwing down.

Doubling Down on Dave and Busters

As my regular readers will tell you, my recent posts have been less meaty than usual. Some simple cause and effect later, my direct traffic has been down. Interestingly enough, it hasn't hurt my overall traffic too badly. It has meant that my search traffic has become 59% of my traffic, and Arizona, i.e. searches for "Dave and Buster's Phoenix", has been a big part of that. It just recently eclipsed New York as my primary source of traffic.


I was also noticing search traffic from the term "Dave and Busters Tempe" so I thought I'd investigate what they could be looking for. Turns out Dave and Busters has opened a new location in Tempe, so I thought I would write a post about it.

I was looking at Google Trends after I composed this post. I searched on the term "dave and busters" to find out that the top search city for "Dave and Busters" is Jacksonville, FL followed by my old stomping ground San Diego, CA. So, I wonder what my next D&B post will be about... Perhaps sunny Florida? My only lament is apparently I'm writing a blog about an establishment I don't really like that much. I guess I understand the draw if your life is suburbia, but the one in NYC is a joke.

Closing in on getting it right.

I'd say I am 91% consistent.

Nice cover by Richard Cheese

If you haven't added it up for yourself, the common nickname for Richard is "Dick"... Yeah, totally smarmy, but in a good way. I was actually just listening to Pandora and came across Richard's rendition of "Somebody Told Me" by the Killers. I like the Killers, I mean who doesn't, but this was just freakin hysterical. I've put the little Amazon widget in here so you can sample a bit of the Richard Cheese stuff and the originals to hear just how fun his stuff is. That being said, he's better in a mix. I'm pretty sure I couldn't do a full album of just Dick at one go.

No Really, can you explain this to me?

I don't even know what to make of the Toilet Tattoos Frogs in the Moonlight Design. What's worse it was at the bottom of my page as a recommended item. I can only hope this is part of the Father's Day push that retail America is undergoing - yeah that's right, I hope its a phase.

Still, I will be reviewing my recent purchases in the hopes of finding out why I would get this recommendation. I did purchase an HD antenna for the apartment recently. So let that be a warning, if you like free HD broadcast television, you may like a new toilet seat.

Awesome Ad

I was checking Jonk's blog and noticed he had a cool Ad that really got me curious. I had to know. I had never thought about where one would buy a used Ice Cream Truck. So I punched in the URL (http://www.captkool.com/) and was thrilled. Unfortunately it looks like the Captain is located in Detroit, MI. Not exactly my neck of the woods. Happily enough, they are hiring
