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] nice! [00:28] love the stone pool area like that [00:28] vs straight grey concrete stuff [00:28] yeah [00:28] it was purty [00:29] also came home one bottle of wine richer :) [00:29] just bottled last month(?) [00:29] always a good thing :) [00:29] hmm, what kind of wine? [00:29] cab [00:29] not my fav, but it'll do [00:30] put that away for a long time [00:30] 7yr or so [00:30] wow, ok [00:30] one month old it'll need a lot of settling to be yummy [00:30] he said it's about a 13% abv [00:30] and yeah, bottled on premise [00:30] yea, but cabs are all biting flavors and guess they need time to smooth out [00:30] I thought I didn't like cabs [00:31] but then read up and tried one that was 8yr old [00:31] it was delish [00:31] 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] cheaper maybe at that age [00:32] http://www.winespectator.com/drvinny/show/id/44440 [00:32] http://goo.gl/N3nsxj - How long can you cellar an exceptional California Cabernet Sauvignon? | Ask Dr. Vinny | Wine Spectator [00:32] yea, they've not paid to store it for 5+ years [00:32] warehouses are expensive and all that [00:32] yeah [00:33] I go by one on my way down to the city [00:33] especially since they need to hold temp/etc [00:33] wine "cellar" storage place [00:33] ah, very cool [00:33] yeah, I think you can rent small spaces in it [00:34] yeah, we won't be able to keep ours for 7 years safely :/ [00:34] might have to JFDI [00:34] :) [00:34] :) [00:35] 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] and see how something ages like that [00:35] but it'd have to be same vineyard, same grapes, etc [00:35] I might be able to get a few more bottles... [00:35] but, we don't have a safe place, really :/ [00:36] yea, same here [00:36] it's just something to keep in mind when I buy things [00:36] watching the years more carefully depending on the variety [00:39] * greg-g nods [01:01] Had a very nice 10yr old port this weekend. :) [01:01] mmm... nom nom [01:01] hah [01:01] not tried much port yet [01:01] http://www.fonseca.pt/en/port/wood/tawny-port/10-year-old/ [01:01] http://goo.gl/MlwJ49 - 10 Year Old Tawny Port | Fonseca Port [01:01] had a LOT of rose in london with the heat [01:01] yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Rose [01:01] learning to appreciate a nice cool glass of wine at dinner [01:02] So the ones that are less sweet I'm liking in the summer [01:02] but yea, many of them aren't that great [01:02] my parents drank a lot of that in the 1970s (as did everyone) so it tastes like old people to me. [01:02] lol [01:04] cmaloney: you guys back from OH-land? [01:04] Yeah, was a bit of fun getting back [01:04] traffic? [01:04] Weather [01:05] ah, yea we went to a movie and they lost power [01:05] had to leave in the middle of it [01:05] must have been fun getting home in it [01:06] Well, we had to get off of I-75 before I-696 because it was flooded / closed. === sydney is now known as ripgoobert === ripgoobert is now known as does === does is now known as sydney === sydney is now known as pebsugcinflurmay === pebsugcinflurmay is now known as sydney [11:41] Good morning [11:43] morning [12:58] How's the morning so far? [13:10] cold [13:19] Yeah, this is definitely not the normal fare for summe [13:19] r [13:26] yay! [13:26] done sweating my butt off in london [13:26] "We have AC, we keep it at 80F but we have it" [13:28] from where does London get its electricity? [13:29] Apparently from good intentions [13:34] got caught in a hail storm this weekend at my brother's lacrosse tournament [13:34] not fun [13:35] ouch [13:35] not fun like training for a marathon is not fun, but in the end, you can say that you did it. [13:35] You survived a HAILSTORM!! [13:40] ha yea... i would rather not be able to say that [13:40] hail hurts [13:40] besides, i've done marathons so i don't need to add a hailstorm to the resume [13:41] I think you're not thinking big enough [13:41] Running through a hailstorm during a marathon while being chased by a tornado [13:41] *FUN* [13:41] Think of how improved your time will be [17:02] jrwren_: That Medium piece you retweeted is hardly Google becoming IBM. [17:06] *shrug* [17:06] i agree. [17:07] in fact, I found the author very naive. [17:07] which he suggested a few times throughout. [17:10] Yeah [17:11] esp. the desire to get paid for an app that just brokers Kahn Academy content via Youtube. [17:11] That's a "derp" moment right there. [17:13] exactly. [17:13] he espoused many values in that post, none of which align wiht my own. [17:18] Yeah, it reminded me of the bad ol' days of Shareware [17:19] or the "I can't afford to release this software without ads" mentality [17:19] Which I find curious and repugnant [17:20] shareware or ads? [17:20] which search engine do you use? [17:20] Shareware is fine [17:21] the "it's free but with ads, and the ads can't be turned off for any amount of money" [17:21] and yes, i use Google. [17:21] oh! well that is annoying for sure. [17:21] * jrwren_ hands cmaloney duckduckgo :p [17:22] But how will Google know what I'm thinking? [17:22] or show you ads which cannot be turned off for any amount of money?
