[00:25] <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)
[00:28] <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
[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <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
[00:32]  * greg-g nods
[00:32] <greg-g> cheaper maybe at that age

[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
[00:33] <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
[00:34] <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__> :)
[00:35] <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 :/
[00:36] <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
[00:39]  * greg-g nods
[01:01] <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
[01:02] <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
[01:04] <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
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <cmaloney> Well, we had to get off of I-75 before I-696 because it was flooded / closed.
[11:41] <cmaloney> Good morning
[11:43] <rick_h__> morning
[12:58] <cmaloney> How's the morning so far?
[13:10] <mrgoodcat> cold
[13:19] <cmaloney> Yeah, this is definitely not the normal fare for summe
[13:19] <cmaloney> r
[13:26] <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"
[13:28] <jrwren_> from where does London get its electricity?
[13:29] <cmaloney> Apparently from good intentions
[13:34] <mrgoodcat> got caught in a hail storm this weekend at my brother's lacrosse tournament
[13:34] <mrgoodcat> not fun
[13:35] <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!!
[13:40] <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
[13:41] <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
[17:02] <cmaloney> jrwren_: That Medium piece you retweeted is hardly Google becoming IBM.
[17:06] <jrwren_> *shrug*
[17:06] <jrwren_> i agree.
[17:07] <jrwren_> in fact, I found the author very naive.
[17:07] <jrwren_> which he suggested a few times throughout.
[17:10] <cmaloney> Yeah
[17:11] <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.
[17:13] <jrwren_> exactly.
[17:13] <jrwren_> he espoused many values in that post, none of which align wiht my own.
[17:18] <cmaloney> Yeah, it reminded me of the bad ol' days of Shareware
[17:19] <cmaloney> or the "I can't afford to release this software without ads" mentality
[17:19] <cmaloney> Which I find curious and repugnant
[17:20] <jrwren_> shareware or ads?
[17:20] <jrwren_> which search engine do you use?
[17:20] <cmaloney> Shareware is fine
[17:21] <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
[17:22] <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?

[17:24] <jrwren_> I thought you might like that :)
[17:25] <jrwren_> neurotech sounds like industrial.
[17:25] <cmaloney> 'tis
[17:25] <cmaloney> This is a good cover of the Soft Cel Version. ;)
[17:26] <jrwren_> :p
[17:27] <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
[17:29] <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

[17:45] <jrwren_> thanks cmaloney
[17:53] <cmaloney> np. :)
[17:53] <cmaloney> They're all great. Decipher is quite good and mellow.
[17:53] <cmaloney> Antagonist is much heavier
