Per my previous post, I’m not gonna put beer reviews up on the blog for a while. If you’re curious why, click-through the link. If you just wanna read my thoughts concerning an old favorite beer, continue on. As in my last post about beer, I’ll be using the rating system devised by Beer Advocate, where this review was originally posted.

Thoughts on the Reviewing of Beer
As all of you who listen to the show are no doubt aware: I enjoy beer. I enjoy it as a crafted thing in much the same way I would enjoy a pastry or a well-brewed cup of coffee. Without being overly vague, I do not consider beer a means to an end.
Science… sort of Florida Meetup of 2011!
Jacob was feeling lonely and said we should do some sort of meetup down south so he can make friends and leave the house for something other than work. I said sure and offered to drive all way down to Florida so provide double the incentive for all the Paleoposse to come out for a night of drinks, science, and burgeoning friendships. Would you like some details? You can have them!

New Job, New Town, No Time
A wise man once said to me,
There are only 3 kinds of friends: Moving friends, Airport friends, and Beer friends. And the latter is debatable.
Truer words have ne’er been spoken. And though I’ve said it before, I consider the members of the Paleoposse to be my friends… MOVING friends, even.
So…speaking of moving… are you guys free Saturday?

OK, OK, don’t get all nervous, I’m kidding. Luckily, I already managed the move (with the help of a few friends – paid in beer and pizza), and am about to start my 3rd week of work at my new job in Jacksonville, FL. Incidentally, you may have noticed that I haven’t made any blog posts in 3 weeks. COINCIDENCE?
Today I would just like to send a shout out to any PaleoPosse members in North Florida (and even Georgia & Alabama), and see if anyone would be interested in a meet-up! Depending on where everyone is hailing from, we could meet in Jacksonville, Gainesville, or Savanna.
Shoot me an email at jacob@sciencesortof.com and let’s do this!
Reposting Rowe
Our guest on the show this week (Episode 80) was Dr. Christie Rowe who had a contentious interaction with Simon Winchester about a fear-mongering seismology article he’d written. She gave us permission to repost her letters and his responses for your enjoyment. So do just that, enjoy.
