Beer Me – Advent Beer Calendar Edition

Beer Me! is a YouTube series where a couple hipsters from BC drink half a dozen of a certain kind of beer (they claim in an hour) rating each on things like artwork, taste, reliability, etc. while getting progressively more wasted.

Friday Fun Link – Dubai Fireworks (Full)

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my highest mark for a presentation in library school was one I did that was actually in a journalism class. My presentation was about online video and how it allows you to transcend both space and time in a way that other previous media (television, radio, etc.) couldn’t. This video from […]
