| greg-g | Friend's parents in Sonoma own a vineyard. This is Rowan and Carrie swimming in their pool. It was as amazing of a house as you think (well, almost, not extreme, but... very nice) | 00:25 |
| rick_h__ | nice! | 00:28 |
| rick_h__ | love the stone pool area like that | 00:28 |
| rick_h__ | vs straight grey concrete stuff | 00:28 |
| greg-g | yeah | 00:28 |
| greg-g | it was purty | 00:28 |
| greg-g | also came home one bottle of wine richer :) | 00:29 |
| greg-g | just bottled last month(?) | 00:29 |
| rick_h__ | always a good thing :) | 00:29 |
| rick_h__ | hmm, what kind of wine? | 00:29 |
| greg-g | cab | 00:29 |
| greg-g | not my fav, but it'll do | 00:29 |
| rick_h__ | put that away for a long time | 00:30 |
| rick_h__ | 7yr or so | 00:30 |
| greg-g | wow, ok | 00:30 |
| rick_h__ | one month old it'll need a lot of settling to be yummy | 00:30 |
| greg-g | he said it's about a 13% abv | 00:30 |
| greg-g | and yeah, bottled on premise | 00:30 |
| rick_h__ | yea, but cabs are all biting flavors and guess they need time to smooth out | 00:30 |
| rick_h__ | I thought I didn't like cabs | 00:30 |
| rick_h__ | but then read up and tried one that was 8yr old | 00:31 |
| rick_h__ | it was delish | 00:31 |
| rick_h__ | so I think I just tried to get 1 or 2yr old bottles that weren't ready yet | 00:31 |
| * greg-g nods | 00:32 | |
| greg-g | cheaper maybe at that age | 00:32 |

| bookiebot | http://goo.gl/N3nsxj - How long can you cellar an exceptional California Cabernet Sauvignon? | Ask Dr. Vinny | Wine Spectator | 00:32 |
| rick_h__ | yea, they've not paid to store it for 5+ years | 00:32 |
| rick_h__ | warehouses are expensive and all that | 00:32 |
| greg-g | yeah | 00:32 |
| greg-g | I go by one on my way down to the city | 00:33 |
| rick_h__ | especially since they need to hold temp/etc | 00:33 |
| greg-g | wine "cellar" storage place | 00:33 |
| rick_h__ | ah, very cool | 00:33 |
| greg-g | yeah, I think you can rent small spaces in it | 00:33 |
| greg-g | yeah, we won't be able to keep ours for 7 years safely :/ | 00:34 |
| greg-g | might have to JFDI | 00:34 |
| greg-g | :) | 00:34 |
| rick_h__ | :) | 00:34 |
| rick_h__ | well let me know how it goes. It'd be awesome to do a taste test of wine at fresh, 2yr, 5yr, 8yr kind of thing | 00:35 |
| rick_h__ | and see how something ages like that | 00:35 |
| rick_h__ | but it'd have to be same vineyard, same grapes, etc | 00:35 |
| greg-g | I might be able to get a few more bottles... | 00:35 |
| greg-g | but, we don't have a safe place, really :/ | 00:35 |
| rick_h__ | yea, same here | 00:36 |
| rick_h__ | it's just something to keep in mind when I buy things | 00:36 |
| rick_h__ | watching the years more carefully depending on the variety | 00:36 |
| * greg-g nods | 00:39 | |
| cmaloney | Had a very nice 10yr old port this weekend. :) | 01:01 |
| jrwren_ | mmm... nom nom | 01:01 |
| rick_h__ | hah | 01:01 |
| rick_h__ | not tried much port yet | 01:01 |

| rick_h__ | had a LOT of rose in london with the heat | 01:01 |
| cmaloney | yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Rose | 01:01 |
| rick_h__ | learning to appreciate a nice cool glass of wine at dinner | 01:01 |
| rick_h__ | So the ones that are less sweet I'm liking in the summer | 01:02 |
| rick_h__ | but yea, many of them aren't that great | 01:02 |
| cmaloney | my parents drank a lot of that in the 1970s (as did everyone) so it tastes like old people to me. | 01:02 |
| rick_h__ | lol | 01:02 |
| rick_h__ | cmaloney: you guys back from OH-land? | 01:04 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, was a bit of fun getting back | 01:04 |
| rick_h__ | traffic? | 01:04 |
| cmaloney | Weather | 01:04 |
| rick_h__ | ah, yea we went to a movie and they lost power | 01:05 |
| rick_h__ | had to leave in the middle of it | 01:05 |
| rick_h__ | must have been fun getting home in it | 01:05 |
| cmaloney | Well, we had to get off of I-75 before I-696 because it was flooded / closed. | 01:06 |

| cmaloney | Good morning | 11:41 |
| rick_h__ | morning | 11:43 |
| cmaloney | How's the morning so far? | 12:58 |
| mrgoodcat | cold | 13:10 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, this is definitely not the normal fare for summe | 13:19 |
| cmaloney | r | 13:19 |
| rick_h__ | yay! | 13:26 |
| rick_h__ | done sweating my butt off in london | 13:26 |
| rick_h__ | "We have AC, we keep it at 80F but we have it" | 13:26 |
| jrwren_ | from where does London get its electricity? | 13:28 |
| cmaloney | Apparently from good intentions | 13:29 |
| mrgoodcat | got caught in a hail storm this weekend at my brother's lacrosse tournament | 13:34 |
| mrgoodcat | not fun | 13:34 |
| rick_h__ | ouch | 13:35 |
| jrwren_ | not fun like training for a marathon is not fun, but in the end, you can say that you did it. | 13:35 |
| jrwren_ | You survived a HAILSTORM!! | 13:35 |
| mrgoodcat | ha yea... i would rather not be able to say that | 13:40 |
| mrgoodcat | hail hurts | 13:40 |
| mrgoodcat | besides, i've done marathons so i don't need to add a hailstorm to the resume | 13:40 |
| cmaloney | I think you're not thinking big enough | 13:41 |
| cmaloney | Running through a hailstorm during a marathon while being chased by a tornado | 13:41 |
| cmaloney | *FUN* | 13:41 |
| cmaloney | Think of how improved your time will be | 13:41 |
| cmaloney | jrwren_: That Medium piece you retweeted is hardly Google becoming IBM. | 17:02 |
| jrwren_ | *shrug* | 17:06 |
| jrwren_ | i agree. | 17:06 |
| jrwren_ | in fact, I found the author very naive. | 17:07 |
| jrwren_ | which he suggested a few times throughout. | 17:07 |
| cmaloney | Yeah | 17:10 |
| cmaloney | esp. the desire to get paid for an app that just brokers Kahn Academy content via Youtube. | 17:11 |
| cmaloney | That's a "derp" moment right there. | 17:11 |
| jrwren_ | exactly. | 17:13 |
| jrwren_ | he espoused many values in that post, none of which align wiht my own. | 17:13 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it reminded me of the bad ol' days of Shareware | 17:18 |
| cmaloney | or the "I can't afford to release this software without ads" mentality | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | Which I find curious and repugnant | 17:19 |
| jrwren_ | shareware or ads? | 17:20 |
| jrwren_ | which search engine do you use? | 17:20 |
| cmaloney | Shareware is fine | 17:20 |
| cmaloney | the "it's free but with ads, and the ads can't be turned off for any amount of money" | 17:21 |
| cmaloney | and yes, i use Google. | 17:21 |
| jrwren_ | oh! well that is annoying for sure. | 17:21 |
| * jrwren_ hands cmaloney duckduckgo :p | 17:21 | |
| cmaloney | But how will Google know what I'm thinking? | 17:22 |
| jrwren_ | or show you ads which cannot be turned off for any amount of money? | 17:22 |

| jrwren_ | I thought you might like that :) | 17:24 |
| jrwren_ | neurotech sounds like industrial. | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | 'tis | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | This is a good cover of the Soft Cel Version. ;) | 17:25 |
| jrwren_ | :p | 17:26 |
| cmaloney | I'm surprised how many songs I first heard as covers | 17:27 |
| cmaloney | but that's how I discover some of my music | 17:27 |
| cmaloney | I mean, Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive introduced me to Louis Jordan | 17:29 |
| cmaloney | A non-trivial number of songs on that album are on the Best of Louis Jordan album | 17:29 |

| jrwren_ | thanks cmaloney | 17:45 |

| cmaloney | They're all great. Decipher is quite good and mellow. | 17:53 |
| cmaloney | Antagonist is much heavier | 17:53 |
