[2011 intro:] Just a place to jot down recipes, beer tasting notes, restaurants I liked, and so on. I could write these down in a notebook, but why not keep them online?

[2024 edit:] Ah, the early 2010s, when a blog felt like the easiest way to share notes and photos with friends…

As I started using social media more, I drifted away from longer-form text, so this site mostly petered out in 2019. It’s too bad, because I still look back at it from time to time to jog my memory on how I cooked something, or remember the name of some beer I liked in Belgium 13 years ago.

In any case, I’m keeping this around as a personal time capsule, low-quality photos and all. I did split out my top homebrewing-and-similar projects in their own web site with more photos and less text, which I’ve been updating more often (http://analogrobotbrewing.com/).

Also: In 2025 I migrated this blog to Hugo in the process of moving various projects off of Wordpress, so I expect some links or images broke during the process, but it seems good enough.
