attack of the yak

A few technological breakthroughs to mention. First, if you look to the left margin of this blog, you will see a image showing what the currently playing (or last played) song on my computer is, as well as a link to my current playlist. I could also put up a link to a page to contorl the music on my computer, but I dont want to make it TOO easy for someone to play Hootie and the Blowfish on my computer at inopportune times. It needs to be a challenge. I doubt anyone really cares what I am listening to at any particular time, but it seemed like a cool feature of the music player I use (Amarok), so I dont care that you dont care.

Also, I have finally bought an internet domain www.fivepercentyak.com . It is hosted on my machine at home, so it may sporatically go down, or be slowed down by my copious porno viewing hogging all the bandwidth, but it is better than having to use an IP address to get to my pictures. Currently it is just links to peoples blogs and my picture site on the homepage, but I plan to hone my web site development skills on making something cooler.

Finally, we have figured out how to open up a beer keg so that we can refill it. So once we brew more homebrewed beer, we can put it in a keg and people will think we are cool. I also bought new equipment and supplies and a book on brewing (there is a cool homebrew supply shop in Columbia), so we can now brew larger quantities of better beer than we could with the crappy Mr. Beer kit. Eventually, we can hopefully brew more interesting craft beers and sell them. Then we can take over the world. MWaaaaaa hahahaha. ahem... ..... .... The next step is to actually make beer and eventually to get/make/steal a kegerator. a kegerator is a refridgerator that you can put a keg in and has a tap on the top. It also generally contains a CO2 tank so that you dont have to pump it to pressurize the beer. you can buy one for a few hundred bucks or buy a kit to convert a normal mini fridge. Oh, I found out when opening the kegs, that it hurts to get stabbed with a screw driver and that six month old skunky keg beer tastes like vinegar.... who knew?
