This episode is focused predominantly on beer topics: First of all, MillersCoors is starting to experiment with <a title="Beer in a box" href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124882355717088341.html#mod=article-outset-box" target="_blank">beer in a box</a>. <a title="Kid Rock" href="http://www.kidrock.com/" target="_blank">Kid Rock</a> is also throwing his hat into the beer arena with <a title="BadAss Beer" href="http://www.michiganbrewing.com/kidrock/" target="_blank">BadAss Beer</a> (by <a title="Michigan Brewing" href="http://www.michiganbrewing.com/" target="_blank">Michigan Brewing Company</a>). If that&#8217;s not your style, you might be interested in the new beers being distributed under the <a title="Costco Beer" href="http://www.crumbyreviews.com/2009/07/kirkland-signature-beer/" target="_self">Costco Kirkland Signiture brand</a>. Looking for a way to cool off in the summer heat? In Seattle, check out the <a title="Bluebird" href="http://bluebirdseattle.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bluebird Homeade Ice Cream &amp; Tea Room</a> on Capitol Hill. They have a Stout Ice Cream made with <a title="Elysian" href="http://www.elysianbrewing.com/" target="_blank">Elysian&#8217;s</a> <a title="Dragonstooth" href="http://www.elysianbrewing.com/BeerPages/Stout.html" target="_blank">Dragonstooth Stout</a> (review available at <a title="Eliemay's Blog" href="http://www.elliemay.com/wordpress/2009/07/26/chow-alert-bluebirds-stout-ice-cream/" target="_blank">elliemay&#8217;s blog</a>).<br />
Thanks to Josh from <a title="ColumnBreak" href="http://www.columnbreak.com/" target="_blank">Columnbreak</a> for an excellent restroom review from MSStudios (recorded at the August 4th Gelato Tweetup). Incidentally, the <a title="What is Gelato" href="http://www.gelatiamo.com/whatisgelato.html" target="_blank">Gelato</a> from the Tweetup was delicious. You&#8217;d be crazy not to swing by <a title="Gelatiamo" href="http://www.gelatiamo.com/" target="_blank">Gelatiamo</a> and try some out!<br />
The Song of the day is <em>Beer Toast</em> by <a title="Bobby Chitwood" href="http://www.bobbychitwood.com/" target="_blank">Bobby Chitwood</a> and the Website of the day is <a title="Must Love Beer" href="http://mustlovebeer.com" target="_blank">mustlovebeer.com</a>. The show closes on <em>Perfect Fit</em> by <a title="Blame Amy" href="http://www.pacificnorthwestmusic.de/Oregon/BlameAmy/tabid/103/Default.aspx" target="_blank">Blame Amy</a>.<br />
Don&#8217;t forget, <a title="Gnomedex 9" href="http://www.gnomedex.com/" target="_blank">Gnomedex 9.0</a> is right aroudn the corner. Get your ticket while you still can!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Apollo 11" src="http://crapmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/images/Apollo11.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="343" />It&#8217;s another hot day in Seattle and there are a lot of things going on this summer.  First of all, the <a title="Oregon Brewfest" href="http://www.oregonbrewfest.com/" target="_blank">Oregon Brewfest</a> is this weekend in Portland.  This is probably the best brewfest in the NorthWest.  On August 4th, you&#8217;ll want to check out the <a title="Gelato Tweetup" href="http://gelatotweetup2009.eventbrite.com/" target="_blank">Gelato Tweetup</a> at Microsoft Studios (co-sponsored by <a title="IABC Seattle" href="http://seattle.iabc.com/" target="_blank">IABC Seattle</a>, <a title="Academy Mobile" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D3g1A5ocik" target="_blank">Microsoft Academy Mobile</a> and <a title="SMC Seattle" href="http://smcseattle.com/" target="_blank">SMC Seattle</a>). Be sure to RSVP!  <a title="Gnomedex" href="http://www.gnomedex.com/" target="_blank">Gnomedex</a> is also only a month away (aug 20 - 22), so it&#8217;s probably time to start thinking about picking up your ticket.  A couple weeks after that is the <a title="WABL Camping" href="http://www.washingtonbeerblog.com/beer-geeks-go-camping/" target="_blank">WABL Labor Day Weekend camping trip</a> &#8211; which also sounds like a lot of fun.  Incidently, if you haven&#8217;t joined <a title="WABL" href="http://www.washingtonbeer.com/" target="_blank">WABL</a> yet, you ought to consider it. </p>
<p>Recently I picked up a toy for the office called the <a title="Mir:ror" href="http://www.violet.net/_mirror-give-powers-to-your-objects.html" target="_blank">Mir:ror</a> by Violet.  It&#8217;s an RFID reader designed for the average consumer and it&#8217;s a pretty fun little product.</p>
<p>The song of the day is <em>Before Daylight</em> by <a title="Zach Harjo" href="http://www.myspace.com/zachharjo" target="_blank">Zach Harjo</a> and the website of the day is <a title="We Choose The Moon" href="http://wechoosethemoon.org/" target="_blank">WeChooseTheMoon.org </a>- a cool interactive recreation of the moon landing.  Finally, the show ends on <em>Beautiful Lie</em> by <a title="Beth Thornley" href="http://www.beththornley.com/" target="_blank">Beth Thornley</a>.  </p>
<p>See you at the <a title="Oregon Brewfest" href="http://www.oregonbrewfest.com" target="_blank">Oregon Brewfest</a>!</p>

That said, there&#8217;s some fun stuff to mention, so I thought I&#8217;d do make a quick podcast.  First of all, a new brewery will be opening soon in Fremont aptly called <a title="Fremont Brewing" href="http://www.fremontbrewing.com" target="_blank">Fremont Brewing</a>.  I&#8217;m always glad to see a new brewery open up in the neighborhood and <a title="Fremont Brewing" href="http://www.fremontbrewing.com/40/brewers-blog.html" target="_blank">their blog</a> is a great way to keep up on their progress.

		<itunes:summary>It's 70 degrees on a Friday night, so I'm sitting in my office boiling.  That said, there's some fun stuff to mention, so I thought I'd do make a quick podcast.  First of all, a new brewery will be opening soon in Fremont aptly called Fremont Brewing.  I'm always glad to see a new brewery open up in the neighborhood and their blog is a great way to keep up on their progress.  Additionally, the Washington Brewer's Festival is taking place at Saint Edward's Park in Juanita on June 20th, so you better get that on your calendar.  The Fremont Fair is the same weekend.  On June 13th, Seattle BrewMuster is taking place at Gallagher's in Edmonds, there are still a couple more days to get tickets if you're interested.  Pyramid Brewery rebranded their top beers - seems kind of strange to me, but what do you think?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Internet Explorer 8" src="http://crapmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/images/ie8_sketch.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="175" /> This edition of the CrapMonkey Podcast is a bit of a mixed bag.  In technology news, <a title="Internet Explorer 8" href="http://www.microsoft.com/ie" target="_blank">Internet Explorer 8</a> has released and is available for free download (you might also want to check out this <a title="Internet Explorer 8 video" href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/nethistory/default.aspx#fbid:QrqpZi7ebxJ" target="_blank">funny ie8 promo video</a> that includes web celebs like the <a title="Ask A Ninja" href="http://www.askaninja.com/" target="_blank">Ask a Ninja</a> Ninja).  Also, scientists have developed a macromolecule that should lead to a <a title="Clear Coat" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29663741/" target="_blank">self-healing clear coat</a> that may make your car&#8217;s paint or your devices screens repair their own scratches.  Addicted to <a title="Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a>?  Find more people to follow with <a title="We Follow" href="http://www.wefollow.com" target="_blank">WeFollow.com</a>.  Speaking of following, you should also follow the <a title="Love Long and Prosper" href="http://www.lovelongandprosper.com/podcast/" target="_blank">Love Long and Prosper Podcast</a> &#8211; so I included a fun promo for it in today&#8217;s show.</p>
<p>Discover Magazine has a cool series called &#8220;<a title="20 things you don't know about" href="http://discovermagazine.com/columns/20-things-you-didnt-know" target="_blank">20 Things You Didn&#8217;t Know About&#8230;</a>&#8221; that is worth checking out.  The topics of &#8220;<a title="20 Things You Don't Know About Television" href="http://discovermagazine.com/2009/feb/16-20-things-you-didnt-know-about-television" target="_blank">Television</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a title="20 things you don't know about Time" href="http://discovermagazine.com/2009/mar/20-things-you-didn.t-know-about-time" target="_blank">Time</a>&#8221; are certainly worth a read.  Are you in to retro 3D?  If so, get your glasses on and check out <a title="Swell3D" href="http://www.swell3d.com/" target="_blank">Swell3d.com</a>.  However, if this episode is getting you into too good of a mood, maybe you should take a look at <a title="Things To Be Miserable About" href="http://www.thingstobemiserableabout.com/" target="_blank">thingstobemiserableabout.com</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, there is just a smidge of beer news in this eposide (since I missed the <a title="Washington Cask Festival" href="http://www.washingtonbeer.com/cbf.htm" target="_blank">Washington Cask Festival</a>).  <a title="Seattle Beer Week" href="http://www.seattlebeerweek.com/" target="_blank">Seattle Beer Week</a> is coming up in May.  Check out the <a title="Seattle Beer Week" href="http://www.seattlebeerweek.com/" target="_blank">Seattle Beer Week</a> website to learn more about what that entails.</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Zach Harjo" src="http://crapmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/images/zachharjo.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="155" />The song of the day is <em>Hangman</em> by <a title="Zach Harjo" href="http://www.myspace.com/zachharjo" target="_blank">Zach Harjo</a> and we close the show on <em>Broken Halos</em>.  Both songs are from Zach&#8217;s upcoming album called <em>Dark Poems</em>.  It&#8217;s not out yet, but you can catch Zach this Wednesday (April 1st) on <a title="KEXP Upcoming Guests" href="http://kexp.org/programming/instudio.asp" target="_blank">KEXP</a> or on Saturday April 4th at the <a title="Sunset Tavern" href="http://www.sunsettavern.com/" target="_blank">Sunset Tavern</a> in Ballard.  The website of the day is <a title="Playhboy's Cover to Cover" href="http://playboy.covertocover.com/" target="_blank">Playboy&#8217;s cover-to-cover</a> site, a free archive of high quality, scanned playboy issues spanning the publication&#8217;s history.  Also included in this episode is a <a title="Restroom Review" href="http://www.crapmonkey.com/restroom-reviews" target="_blank">restroom review</a> of <a title="Sully's Pub" href="http://sullyslounge.com/" target="_blank">Sully&#8217;s Lounge</a> in Queen Anne.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s wrong with the picture below?  This is a rare glimpse of the <a title="Seattle Space Needle" href="http://www.spaceneedle.com/" target="_blank">Seattle Space Needle</a> at night without its normal illumination.  The lights were shut off for one hour on Saturday night in observance of <a title="Earth Hour" href="http://www.earthhour.org/home/" target="_blank">Earth Hour</a>.  As you can see, very little of the rest of the city played along.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Double Black" src="http://crapmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/images/DB_Stout.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="309" />It&#8217;s amazing how fast the time goes.  In this episode, we listen to a brief audio clip from the last sunny day of the season when Wendy and I attended the <a title="Oyster Run" href="http://www.oysterrun.org/" target="_blank">Oyster Run</a> in Anacortes (<a title="Oyster Run Photos" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/crapmonkey/sets/72157607633556920/" target="_blank">photos available here</a>).  Winter&#8217;s not all bad though, the <a title="Winter Brewfest" href="http://www.washingtonbeer.com/wbf.htm" target="_blank">4th Annual Winter Brewfest</a> is at <a title="Hales Ales" href="http://www.halesales.com/" target="_blank">Hales Ales</a> on December 5th and 6th.  Starting to compile your Christmas list?  Perhaps the beer lovers on your list might like this <a title="Remote Control Beer Cooler" href="http://tech.msn.com/guides/holidaytech/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=11577126&amp;imageindex=9" target="_blank">remote control beer cooler</a>.  Or, perhaps you&#8217;d rather get creative and make your own <a title="Kegorator" href="http://thebrewingnetwork.com/Beer-Gadgets/The-Portable-Kegerator" target="_blank">portable kegerator</a>.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m extremely pleased to note that <a title="Redhook" href="http://www.redhook.com/" target="_blank">Redhook</a> has released their Double Black Stout for a limited time (production of the beer was halted in 2000).  This was my favorite beer back in the late 90s when it was brewed with <a title="Starbucks" href="http://www.starbucks.com/" target="_blank">Starbucks</a> coffee, and it&#8217;s still quite delicious today &#8211; though I don&#8217;t know what coffee they use now.</p>
<p>Lately I&#8217;ve been using a new service call <a title="ChaCha" href="http://www.chacha.com/" target="_blank">ChaCha</a>.  This service is a great way to get information on the fly &#8211; just text 242242 with any question, and they will text you back an answer.</p>
<p>The website of the day is <a title="Truemers" href="http://truemors.nowpublic.com/" target="_blank">Truemers</a> and the Song of the day is <em>Evelee</em>, by Darren Lucas.  Today&#8217;s episode closes on <em>Something New</em> by John Francis.  Click the Arrow below to listen to the episode.</p>

		<itunes:summary>It's amazing how fast the time goes.nbsp; In this episode, we listen to a brief audio clip from the last sunny day of the season when Wendy and I attended the Oyster Run in Anacortes (photos available here).nbsp; Winter's not all bad though, the 4th Annual Winter Brewfest is at Hales Ales on December 5th and 6th.nbsp; Starting to compile your Christmas list?nbsp; Perhaps the beer lovers on your list might like this remote control beer cooler.nbsp; Or, perhaps you'd rather get creative and make your own portable kegerator.

I'm extremely pleased to note that Redhook has released their Double Black Stout for a limited time (production of the beer was halted in 2000).nbsp; This was my favorite beer back in the late 90s when it was brewed with Starbucks coffee, and it's still quite delicious today - though I don't know what coffee they use now.

Lately I've been using a new service call ChaCha.nbsp; This service is a great way to get information on the fly - just text 242242 with any question, and they will text you back an answer.

The website of the day is Truemers and the Song of the day is Evelee, by Darren Lucas.nbsp; Today's episode closes on Something New by John Francis.nbsp; Click the Arrow below to listen to the episode.

<p>It&#8217;s the first day of Fall and what better way to celebrate than with a CrapMonkey Podcast.  First off, I want to invite you to a benefit for <a title="Jeff Fielder" href="http://www.jefffielder.com" target="_blank">Jeff Fielder</a> who recently had some of his favorite instruments stolen while he was on the road with <a title="Sera Cahoone" href="http://www.seracahoone.com/" target="_blank">Sera Cahoone</a>.  It will be at <a title="The Station" href="http://www.myballard.com/2008/06/14/the-station-bistro/" target="_blank">Station in Ballard</a> on <strong>October 3rd</strong> (<a title="Jeff Fielder Benefit" href="http://crapmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/images/Jeff_Flyer.jpg" target="_blank">download flyer</a>) and you may also <a title="Fielder Donation" href="http://www.dropcash.com/campaign/JeffFielder/feel_the_fielder" target="_blank">make a donation to the Fielder cause via PayPal</a> (<strong>note: </strong>I accidently said Oct 4th in the podcast &#8211; please note my slip of the tongue!).  In this episode, we chat about technology topics including the <a title="Democratic Convention Media Gallery" href="http://gallery1.demconvention.com" target="_blank">Democratic National Convention Online Media Gallery</a>, <a title="Chrome" href="http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/" target="_blank">Chrome</a>, <a title="IE 8" href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/beta/" target="_blank">Internet Explorer 8 beta 2</a>, and <a title="Zune" href="http://www.zune.net" target="_blank">Zune 3.0</a>.  We also chat about some low tech but useful gadgets including the <a title="SwirlyGig" href="http://www.swirlygig.com/" target="_blank">SwirlyGig</a> and the <a title="The Ring Thing" href="http://www.ringthing.com.au/" target="_blank">Ring Thing</a>.  In beer news, Budweiser released their newest beer <a title="American Ale" href="http://www.anheuser-busch.com/ABMarketing-AmericanAle.html" target="_blank">American Ale</a> (strangely released shortly after being bought by <a title="InBev" href="http://www.inbev.com/" target="_blank">InBev</a>).  Finally, I want to encourage you to check out the <a title="Bre Pettis" href="http://brepettis.com" target="_blank">History Hackers</a> pilot which airs Friday on the History Channel.</p>
<p>The song of the day is (fittingly) <em>Rob You Blind</em> by <a title="Jeff Fielder" href="http://www.jefffielder.com">Jeff Fielder</a> and the show closes on <em>Last Disguise</em>, also by <a title="Jeff Fielder" href="http://www.jefffielder.com">Jeff Fielder</a>.  The website of the day is <a title="Thrill The World" href="http://www.thrilltheworld.com" target="_blank">ThrilltheWorld.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s hot in Seattle!  I&#8217;m not complaining, but it&#8217;s a short show cause it&#8217;s just too hot in the Crapmonkey &#8220;Studio&#8221; to stay for any length of time.  Looking for something to do this weekend?  The <a title="Rails to Ales Brewfest" href="http://railstoales.org/" target="_blank">Rails to Ales Brewfest</a> is coming up in Cle Elum on Saturday, July 12th.  If you&#8217;re not down with heading that far East, you might just go as far as Redmond and visit the <a title="Sub Pop 20th Anniversary Concert" href="http://www.subpop.com/sp20" target="_blank">Sub Pop 20th Anniversary Concert</a> (July 12 &amp; 13).  Personally, I&#8217;m looking most forward to the <a title="Oregon Brewfest" href="http://www.oregonbrewfest.com/" target="_blank">Oregon Brewfest</a> coming up at the end of the month (<a title="Oregon Brewfest Video" href="http://www.crapmonkey.com/archives/121" target="_blank">Click here to view a video I produced at last year&#8217;s brewfest</a>).  In Tech news, <a title="Bill Gates" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates" target="_blank">Bill Gates</a> retired this week.  <a title="Gates Videos" href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/billg/videos/" target="_blank">A great retrospective collection of videos</a> is located on <a title="Microsoft" href="http://www.microsoft.com" target="_blank">Microsoft.com</a>. </p>
<p>The Song of the Day is <em>Rooftop</em> by Sunday Morning Music.  They are not together anymore, but you might want to keep track of former members, <a title="Jeff Fielder" href="http://www,jefffielder.com" target="_blank">Jeff Fielder</a> and <a title="Zach Harjo" href="http://www.myspace.com/zachharjo" target="_blank">Zach Harjo</a>.  The Website of the day is <a title="Viewzi.com" href="http://www.viewzi.com" target="_blank">viewzi.com</a> and we close the show with a song called <em>4th of July</em> by <a title="Stephen Kellogg" href="http://www.stephenkellogg.com/" target="_blank">Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers</a>.</p>
