What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Was cleaning up some boxes of stuff that I have not unpacked since I moved out of the house near St. Louis 2 years ago and found my Sony Librié. Wonder if I can find a screen after all these years.

This thing was my Christmas present to myself in 2004.
I bought it online and then hacked it with some firmware hack that I could not read. to enable some basic english on the screen menus.
I broke it in 2005, while in Japan of all places.

@JaredBusch So this was the first e-reader?
An early Amazon Kindle (before the kindle obviously)
Pretty cool, I wonder if you could still get media.

God I hope this never happens if I have kids....
Happened just the other day to me... thankfully she's still mostly just breast milk.

RCA had an e-reader out in the early 2000's. I bought my wife one. they were super heavy though... she didn't like it.
I have my old Nook too, that was pre-Kindle I think as well.

I was drinking the DogFish Beer For Breakfast Stout yesterday.
"A stout tricked out with all sorts of breakfast ingredients including Guatemalan Antigua cold press coffee, Maple syrup harvested from Western Massachusetts and for the quintessential Delaware breakfast touch - Rapa Scrapple and their secret blend of spices. "

@MattSpeller I recently discovered that Trader Joe's carries Nitro Stout. Unfortunately, it's like $12 for a 6 pack.

@Grey And that is expensive? Or maybe I'm just used to paying for expensive beer...

That is a cheap 6pack here in $CDN
We get fancy ones from Oregon for $25/6pack

I usually pay about $8-9 for a 6 pack of beer (Avery, Left Hand, or Guinness).

I recall that! I went to Calgary to teach a class and was blown away by the price of beer. Your government must be making all their money on vice taxes. It makes a good case for giving up all of your vices!
