If I Had A Buttrock Brewery
February 16, 2008 2:32 pm
Wendy and I have always thought it would be cool to open a buttrock brewery. While we may never actually achieve the goal, we do find it fun to dream up the kind of beers we would have on tap.
Perhaps one day we will achieve our dream, but until then, here are a few of our ideas:
Hef Leppard
Iron Marzen
Motley Brue
Van Weizen, StrIPA
Great Witte
QueensRye
Sabastian Bock
Do you have any others? Leave your buttrock beer styles in the comments!
CrapMonkey Gets a Pedicure
January 30, 2008 8:55 pm
Today, for the first time ever, I found myself getting a Pedicure. Wendy talked me into it since, technically, we are on vacation (though we haven’t yet left the neighborhood). Honestly, I’m not sure why I waited so long to get one of these. You sit in an electric massage chair with your feet in a jetted foot spa. There is some kind of mixture in the foot spa that makes the water blue and comforting (hopefully it wasn’t a Tidy Bowl Tablet!). After they trim up and file your toe nails, they scrub your feet and massage them. Next, they lotion your feet and calves, rub the lotion in, and dry you off. It must have taken about 30 to 40 minutes total and was quite relaxing. Aside from Rachael Ray and Oprah on the television, it was a great experience. For around $20 total out of pocket, it sure beats getting your hair cut.
Welcome to 2008!

The Chinese would say that 2008 is the year of the Rat. Here in Seattle, 2008 is going to be the year of the CrapMonkey. Thanks for all of your support over the years and apologies for my limited and sporadic publishing as of late. We’ll get back into the swing of things soon. Hope your holidays were great and have a wonderful new year! Thanks to Pete for the artwork!

November 12, 2007 2:29 pmI just wanted to share this error message I received on my machine today. I don’t even recall what threw the error, but I love the way it’s worded. I wasn’t trying to destroy anything at the time…

The Podcast and New Media Expo is in full swing in Ontario, California. I’ve been down here since Thursday and have not had time to do a CrapMonkey Podcast as of yet. That said, I am making regular podcast updates to the Seattle Podcasting Network site. Feel free to check it out and see what’s new on the podcasting landscape!
CrapMonkey Finally Makes the Cover of Wired
June 30, 2007 9:07 am
Okay, so maybe it’s just my copy. Wired Magazine and Xerox ran a promotion that offered subscribers the chance to get their pictures on a personalized cover of the July issue. Only the first 5000 subscribers to submit a photo were able to participate. Check out other July Wired covers here (or add your own to the group).
Women’s Arm Wrestling at The Tin Hat
June 26, 2007 11:44 pmOn Monday night, the Tin Hat Bar and Grill in Ballard held a women’s arm wrestling tournament. The proceeds went to benefit Home Alive, a Seattle based non-profit that offers affordable self-defense classes. It was a great evening of beers and cheers in the name of a good cause. Enjoy the video of the festivities below. There are also some great photos of the event in Matt Harjo’s Flickr set.

June 24, 2007 2:56 pmHow much time each week do you spend sitting on the phone waiting for a conference call to begin? I spend more time that way than I care to admit. In fact, after a while it starts to feel as if the hold music is taunting you. Hence, the song below (available in mp3 or wma).
