Canadian or not, Guinness Extra Stout is darn delicious. In fact, upon having the "Export" for the first time while overseas, I thought, 'this is good, but not as good as the extra stout.' I feel pretty foolish now that I know it's the same thing. But who knows, maybe the Canadians do something special to it.

That said, the most delicious beer on earth is absolutely, without question, unequivocally Trappist Rochefort 10. Nobody knows beer like those Belgian monks.

I hear that! The seven Trappist breweries are the Lloyd Loars of Zymurgy.

Not home, but one of my favourite places to play - Lake-of-the-Woods

This is me on the shores of Lake in Michigan at the "top `o the thumb", Gill's Rock, the tip of the Door County peninsula, which is Wisconsin's premier weekend getaway. My wife took this picture of me over the past Labor Day weekend.

We recently moved from our Oakland to nearby Emeryville, home of Pixar, exceptionally cool urban architecture, live/work lofts, a vibrant arts scene, and our favorite diner, Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe (the latter of which pulls a good pint of Guiness, lest I wander too far off topic).

"Where I at man", part 2 of 2: my favorite public art installation in Emeryville, are these yellow utility boxes seen all over town, by a local artist commissioned by the city...

Hey Jim,

Emeryville underwent one of the most amazing transformations of any town I've ever witnessed. When I moved to the east bay in '82, Emeryville comprised a run-down steel mill, some corner liquor stores, a row of PaiGow poker parlors, a few brothels, and a pretty good country roadhouse saloon--that used to be a brothel.

Today it is a thriving high-tech village with some great restaurants, interesting residential and commercial architecture, a bunch of high-end retail shops, a huge Ikea that sits on top of the of mill site, and that same row of PaiGow poker parlors. It's been gentified to the gills, but mostly to the benefit of the region as a whole and certainly to the coffers at city hall. There are even some interesting innovative cohousing projects and alternative art scenes there.

And the Can't Fail Cafe is a great spot--night or day. Not too much in the way of live acoustic-music venues there, but Strings is just down the street and the Freight isn't too far, either.

I really didn't know much about Emeryville until I took a job at Chiron (now Navartis) in '94. Though it's grown and developed even since then, it still has than same urban, alternative, funky vibe that I enjoyed back then. My main worry is that its real estate and rents don't increase with its continuing development, pricing the artists out of the area, since they are a big part of why this is such a special place. But City Hall still seems to be as commited to the arts as they have been for the past couple fo decades, so hopefully my worries may be foundless.

(Now we just need to do something about the music scene )
