Coffee. Peanut butter. Porter. Those three things go so well together. I’m in heaven.

It’s election night and, unlike this movie, the goal is not to Kill Or Be Killed. This cider kills with the wonderful tartness of the strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry flavors.

SO. MUCH. COCOA. Whoever figured out that chocolate and cocoa porters were a good idea deserves sainthood.

This is one of the lighter pumpkin beers I’ve had. It out allows the cinnamon and spice flavors to shine through more.

The tangy apple cider hits first, but it’s followed by a lovely caramel flavor. A surprising and enjoyable flavor profile.

The original pumpkin beer and one of my favorites. This time, I’m having it with sugar on the rim for an added Halloween blast.

This beer was aged in bourbon barrels and, boy, howdy, you can tell. The flavor is powerful and stays with you for a while. I love it.

While most pumpkin beers are more about the spice than the pumpkin, Frog’s Hollow lives up to the “double” in “double pumpkin ale”.

Before I get into pumpkin beers, time to celebrate Oktoberfest, starting with this classic from Great Lakes, a smooth and easy to drink Marzen with a hint of malt body.

This beer is served in two differently sized glasses on purpose. The smaller glass’ flavor was bolder than the larger, though I enjoyed both.

There was a time when I wouldn’t go near an IPA because of how bitter and hoppy it was. Now, I can’t get enough of citrus IPAs, and this is one of the best.

This hazy IPA from Sierra Nevada has more kick than Hazy Little Thing, and is a great follow up drink.

It’s a warm day today, which means that a citrusy IPA like this one is cool and refreshing, thanks to both the flavor and the hoppiness.

There isn’t much difference between Sierra Nevada’s Summerfest and their Pale Ale outside of a little more body to the ale and a little more ABV. I still enjoyed it, though.

Summerfest is a light and hoppy drink which is easy on your taste buds. If you’re looking for a beer to pound, consider this one.

Honestly, I picked this one because it entered me into a drawing for a trip to Boston, but that doesn’t mean the beer isn’t good. Strong and full bodied malt flavor that is refreshing to drink.

Goal #1 - Read Every Day

Not sure what happened, but I managed to not read any manga or graphic novels last month. With two OIPA weekends, I did get two audiobooks in, along with a few books of varying sizes.

As Rem Lezar is created, I create a much more enjoyable experience with this powerful coffee stout.

I picked this one out before I realized it’s St. Patty’s Weekend. I don’t care. This is a light, sweet, and refreshing drink.

Now that I’m weaning myself away from the Big Tech companies and their services, I needed to find an alternative. Fortunately, there is a cloud based PIM service, Nextcloud, which is open source and, should I wish, something I could host on my own hardware and network.

#2024Goals #Nextcloud

https://medi-nerd.com/2024/03/13/minimize-big-tech-reliance-cloud-personal-information-services/

Ever since I first used Microsoft Outlook, I’ve looked for ways to organize my calendar, contacts, and notes. Whether it was a paper planner, a Palm Pilot, or the current method of choice, a smartphone, the ability to organize my life at my fingers is something I enjoy doing. Once companies like Yahoo and Google started offering their own PIM services, it just made sense to use them in tandem with my phone.

Now that I’m weaning myself away from the Big Tech companies and their services, I needed to find an alternative. Fortunately, there is a cloud based PIM service, Nextcloud, which is open source and, should I wish, something I could host on my own hardware and network.

Not only does Nextcloud offer the same calendar, contacts, and notes management as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and others, it also features a file syncing service similar to Dropbox, OneDrive, or Google Drive. Unlike the big corporate services, Nextcloud is fully open source, secure, and has many hosts around the world to choose from. I am currently trying out on of those hosts which offers 8GB of storage under their free tier. If everything works well enough, and I believe it will, my next step is to spin up my own Nextcloud host on my own network and take full control of my data.

You can find out more about Nextcloud at https://nextcloud.com/.

Two months into 2024 and my goal progress continues, though not at the same pace. Some goals have slowed down, while others have caught up, if not surpassed, their planned pace. Let’s take a look.

Two months into 2024 and my goal progress continues, though not at the same pace. Some goals have slowed down, while others have caught up, if not surpassed, their planned pace. Let’s take a look.

Goal #1 – Read every day

After my crazy reading pace in January, I’ve come back down to Earth here in February. While I’ve continued to get reading in every day of the month, the books I’ve read have been longer, so I only finished five books, bringing my total to seventeen for the year.

• The Universe in a Nutshell (Audiobook)
• Babel
• Beneath the Sugar Sky (Audiobook)
• Exam Red MS-900 Microsoft 365 Fundamentals, 2nd Edition
• Attack on Titan, Volume 2 (Graphic Novel)

Goal #2 – Post to my website every day

The streak continues. As of Thursday, I have posted for 62 consecutive days, including all of January (31) and February (29). With this post, the streak will reach 64.

Goal #3 – Minimize reliance on Big Tech

My focus in February was on my email, specifically getting more and more off of Gmail and onto the open source and privacy focused Proton Mail. It turns out there is also a Proton Mail app for Mac which, while currently in beta, is an excellent replacement for the built in Mail app, ensuring I am completely in the Proton environment, at least from an email standpoint.

Goal #4 – 2024 Winking Lizard World Tour of Beers

Unlike my reading pace, I’ve exceeded my beer tour pace thanks to purchasing a 6 pack and more regular weekly visits to the Lizard. I sit at 15 as of the end of February.

• Sam Smith Organic Chocolate Stout
• 3 Floyds Turbo Reaper IPA
• 3 Floyds Gumball Head Wheat Beer

Always good to visit a Cleveland Irish Red Ale standby. This ale has a stronger flavor but is still an easy to enjoy brew.

Now that we’ve gotten past Pink Hearts Day, let’s move into Green Clover Day season with a beer that makes me want an Irish coffee next. Chocolate and coffee mix well in this stout.
