A few weeks ago, my friend Nick Nunns returned from the Craft Brewers Conference (which I’m going to next year, dammit!), and proceeded to rock my world. In a good way. Nick told me about the idea of an Alternating Proprietorship, or an AltProp. It’s not a new idea. I’ve probably mentioned it in some post on [...] [...]

Michelle suggested taking photos every day of the fast just to track my melting, and so I’ve accumulated a few of those shots and put them up on a Gallery Page, in case you’re interested, which you can find here.

I’ve been swamped at work, dealing with appeals, jury trials, and generally seeking justice in a crazy system. So, while some exciting things have been happening in this wonderful beer town called Ann Arbor, I haven’t been writing about it. But today, I can finally catch a little time to mention a few items of interest. First of all, I’m writing this post right at Arbor Brewing, where Old Tjikko [...]
