Writing content when you leave the computer at work is difficult. Learning is a never ending process.

Blogging about not blogging.
I hate that it’s cliche in the blogging world and while I have been busy, it’s not actually what I am here to write about. November is National Novel Writing Month. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s a great way to get your first novel started. I have been there, done that, heck even won once, but invariably it seems November is a busy month for me. Besides 1333 words a day is big commitment on top of everything else I am working on, so I am bowing out. That said I would like to get this site more active again and in that vein I will be participating for National Blog Posting Month. It should get me back on track for this site plus develop some new content, expect mostly posts on beer and brewing related topics, but a few others may slip into the fold, mostly I am just looking forward to writing again. Day one done and it wasn’t that difficult. Tuesday, July 5

Digging through Beer and Wine history, it is the Beer Archaeologist. Sounds like a great job blending alcohol, history, and science. The New York Times looks at high end homebrewing. While if you have the money it's great for the more expensive rigs, it is important to remember that to get started you don't need to spend more than $150 for everything. (via Fuzzy Brew) North Carolina Wrap up of this year's Tour de Fat in Durham, it was a great time but small enough that you didn't have to fight lines or crowds. Dave has photos from the festivities. It was the perfect start for the festival here in North Carolina. Local beer Summer beers highlighted in this article at the NC State paper. Calendar Summer is heating up and that may mean more people drinking beer, but it seems to be less beer events so a quick look at happenings in the next month.

I spend a lot of my day focusing. Trying to pay a great deal of attention to what I am doing, why I am doing it and trying to make sure I don't get in someone else's way. I don't succeed as often as I would like, but I hope I am getting better. Tanks under pressure, large water volumes, plenty of hoses and kegs are all around me every day. If not careful I could get someone or heck myself injured. Thankfully I don't have to learn these lessons alone, I am working with a team of folks watching over my shoulder to make sure I focus on the things that matter. Beer is fun, safety is first. Focusing on the moment and what your actions may result in is the first lesson of many about brewing I am learning.
