I use the UNTAPPD app to keep track of each beer I try. I believe it all started when I couldn't remember what brewer's version of Oktoberfest I liked, and which ones I hated. As of today, I have tasted and rated 562 beers. I rate all the beers on a 5 star scale: 3 is average, 3.5 is good, 4 is great, 4.5 is the best I have had. So here is the list: IPAs and APAs 4.5 stars Furious - Surly

I ran into a list of KanYe's best songs by Complex Magazine. While they got all of the songs right, I feel they got the top 10 order wrong. Below are Complex's top 10, and then my top 10 (you can see the whole list here). Complex 10. Heatless 9. Through the Wire 8. All of the Lights 7. Stronger 6. All Falls Down 5. Diamonds from Sierra Leone 4. Niggas in Paris 3. Runnaway 2. Flashing Lights 1.

If you were born in the 90's or after you might have missed out on a cultural phenominon in music: the mixtape. A good mixtape could be a lot of things, from creating roadtrip memories to professing your love to your highschool sweetheart. The existence of the mixtape really started with the cassette tape. I spent my childhood waiting by the stereo waiting for my faviorite song to come on

It has been on my wish list for years, and now I finally bought my first Hi-Fi stereo system. I was budget so it definatley isn't as impressive as some people's but I love the results. Here is my setup: Sony STR-DN30 7.2 Channel Receiver Whafedale Diamond 10.1 Speakers (pair) BIC America 10" 350 Watt Sub-woofer Overall, the whole system cost less than $1000 but sounds amazing!

With the number of hits they have its difficult to narrow down this list but here I go, top ten Led Zeppelin songs: The Rain Song Dazed and Confused Over the Hills and Far Away* Stairway to Heaven Since I've Been Loving You Ramble On D'Yer Mak'er* The Ocean* Fool in the Rain* Whole Lotta Love* The interesting thing about the list is only 5 of the 10 songs charted when originally released (*)

Like many people, I got through phases in the music I crave. I will listen to KanYe and J Cole for weeks, then I will break out my Led Zeppelin and Steely Dan albums. Right now there is no band hotter for me than the Black Keys. When I am listening to rock music, I rarely am looking for the hard-hitting, catchy tunes (AC-DC, the Killers); rather I prefer creative, skilled,

According to corporate America and whoever else is trying sell us stuff, its never too early to start thinking about Christmas. Instead of fighting the man like I should, I am just going to give in and add to the problem; here is my list of best Christmas hip-hop songs. You may be asking: why hip-hop songs? I really wanted challenge myself this year instead of taking the easy

A few years back I bought my first laptop, and at the time, Dell was the popular choice and I didn't know nearly what I know now about laptops. Without having anything to compare it to, it seemed like a great laptop at first; then the problems started. A couple months in my battery failed. I was still under warranty so I sent it in and they sent me a replacement. Of course it wasn't the nice

I just recently was on a vacation and took in some breath taking views. Like many of you, I thought to myself: I wish I could capture this moment. While it can't take the place of the real thing, panoramic photos are a good start. Here's any easy way to make a panoramic photo on your computer with any digital camera. Some photo editors such as Ashampoo do a great job with creating these

  Everywhere you turn Lady Gaga is there and making news. With her singing career just underway, she already has 7 Billboard Top 100 songs to her credit, and her popularity is just getting started. I do have to give her credit, she has taken her hype and made the most of it for herself. Lady Gaga started off by writing songs for Britney Spears, Fergie, Akon, and the Pussycat Dolls, and
