Gin Time: Tonic Water Tasting

IMG_0413

In an effort to pep up my gin and ton­ics I’ve decided to sam­ple some “pre­mium” tonic waters. There’s really no point in shelling out for top – shelf hooch if you’re going to mix it with swill. Tonight was Fentiman’s Tonic Water (warn­ing, hideous web­site ahoy).

The ver­dict: A fuck-sight bet­ter than Canada Dry or Schweppes.

Winer’s Line in the Sand

NMD

Taking a page from the play­book of John “mother of all tools” Dowdell, Dave Winer has declared that he will no longer tol­er­ate off-topic dis­cus­sion and mind­less Apple fan­boy­ism on his pre­cious blog. Of course, in Dave’s world “off-topic” means “doesn’t agree with my sage wis­dom” and “mind­less Apple fan­boy­ism” means “in any way approv­ing of Apple.”

Look Dave, we get it, peo­ple dis­agree­ing with you irri­tates you. I mean, good gods peo­ple, don’t you know who this is? This is Dave Winer. The “proto-blogger!” Having your nar­cis­sis­tic and ill-thought-out bull­shit pointed out to you must be ago­niz­ing. I’d sug­gest dis­pens­ing with com­ments entirely, but then how would you get your fix of syco­phan­tic cock-sucking? A man can’t live by his achieve­ments alone for fuck’s sake!
