Google speaks “Elmer Fudd” April 16, 2008

There once was a graphic designer, let’s call him Ian, that went to work one day. That day started out like any other, except that day happened to be April Fools’ Day.
One of Ian’s fellow graphic designers, let’s call her Yvette, thoroughly enjoys good fun at Ian’s expense. On this day she changed his language preference in Google from English to Elmer Fudd. Ian was so amused by Yvette’s gag that he has yet to revert his preferred language back to English.
Short story even shorter, I have a theory that life in general would be improved with a little Dr. Seuss injected into everyday life. While Elmer Fudd’s speech impediment speech sound disorder is no substitute for the Doctor himself, it’s close enough for me.
Sam Adams pint glass April 10, 2008

I have rediscovered my love for beer. In no small part to my recent purchase of the new pint glass Sam Adams has created.
“It’s been a personal passion of mine to develop a beer glass that elevates the craft beer drinking experience” said Jim Koch, founder and brewer of Samuel Adams. “We wanted to create a glass that offers beer lovers a full sensory drinking experience by fully showcasing Samuel Adams Boston Lager’s complex balance of malt and hop flavors. This glass achieves that mission.”
I am telling you that these new glasses make a difference. Every beer that I’ve had in a regular pint glass since has tasted a little flat. My favorite thing about these glasses is the last sip tastes as good as the first one. Anyone that’s had their fair share of beers in a pint glass knows that doesn’t usually happen.
You can buy the glasses in sets of 4 at the Sam Adams e-store. Be forewarned, you will taste much more of your beer.
