Hoosiers For Beverage Choices


Hoosier Beverage Campaign

Hoosiers for Beverage Choices, “HBC” has an on going campaign to modernize the Indiana alcohol laws for good. The goal of HBC is to update Indiana law to allow for:

•1) The carry-out sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays.

•2) End the cold beer monopoly and allow the sale of cold beer at all licensed drug, grocery, and convenience stores.

If you would like to support the campaign you may sign the petition at : www.beveragechoices.com

While I am in favor of this campaign. I would LOVE to see more retailers carry REAL beer. We need to send a message to retail chains and tell them no more fizzy yellow beer! We want more microbrews! We want real craft beers! The good stuff! We need to stop the insanity. The general public thinks good beer is Coors light. This needs to change! I see this campaign as being a start in something beautiful.

Some retailers like; Kroger, Payless, and Meijer are getting more craft brews in stock. We need to encourage them to carry more like beers. Bookgopher and I took a trip to Grand Rapids Michigan last year. We took a gander at their Meijer for some supplies. They had a colossal wall of micro/ craft brews! I was in awe. They also allowed sales of alcohol after 10AM on Sundays!

Again, sign the petition. We would love to have a modern alcohol law in Indiana.

Fighting Robots


It seems that we are seeing robotics and transformers becoming more and more main stream. It is not like the days when transformers was originally popular and we were impressed by 2 or 3 manipulation point robotics. People are making free standing robotic creations in their backyard with 10’s if not 100’s points of manipulation. It makes me wonder how close we are from having movies as like Wall- E being true. Although the movie was fairly light hearted it had a very strong emotional under current that was very discontenting because I could very easily see a large portion of our population do something like that and not give it a second thought. Now back to the main point of this article is to take a look at how these complex robotics are maintaining their balance as well as carrying on a grudge match on what appears to be a white board. I must say that I am impressed by the performance here. Now take into account that this was uploaded to you tube a little over two years ago. Imagine what this company could do with investment and developing. Would love to see any lurkers or guests tell me what they think.

Statistics and editorial rants


So listening to one of the latest TWiT podcasts and having other various stats bouncing around in my noggin I decided to go a little off the beaten path and give you guys an opinionated and possibly biased view of the world through my eyes. I apologize if I offend or upset anyone but if you don’t like what is written or feel angry about it you have the god given right to leave now, stop reading, or by all means leave me a comment. Please do not slander or harass this site or associated sites, I hold all responsibility for what is published in this article.

Wireshark and Firefox release new versions


Two big software releases came down today starting with Wireshark 1.2. They have added a bunch of new features including a 64 bit installer as well as better Mac OS X support. They have also added a number of new protocols as well as filter auto completes. Two of the more interesting features are geoip and open street map lookups. I don’t know about you but I am looking forward to trying this new software out.

The other release today of course was Mozilla’s stable release of Firefox 3.5. Spouting many new features from every orifice and little issues with add-on functionality (none if you install nightly tester tools as I do) it seems to be a great step forward if only some of the skin developers can keep up. I plan to test weave just as soon as possible but as with my last article this is being written from my touch which is helping greatly on my quest of daily contributions. *** this just in after installing the stable version of FF I had to no addons issues whatsoever***. For a full scoop either install it yourself or head over to lifehacker and check the articles comment section that’s where I always fund the little things I have missed.
