159/365. There may not be a heaven. But there is a San Francisco ~ Ashleigh Brilliant

I had, once again, the pleasure of meeting with Rob Tod, the founder of Allagash Beer at the Twitter HQ. Here he is with his lovely wife who flew along with him while their two daughters stayed back in Portland Maine with the Grandparents.

Anyone who loves beer should follow @allagashbeer.

Cheers to you Rob.

119/365. Without question the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer ~ Dave Barry

I'm a day late in posting this shot, and with good reason. It was the beer. Anyhow, this was more or less a proper exit to Google seeing as how I had no departure lunch or party, but Dave and I had preplanned an Allagash beer tasting / pairing event with the founder Rob Tod (yeah, I set him up with a Twitter account). Nevertheless, there isn't anything too exciting about this photo, I mainly just wanted it documented into my 365 project.

strobist info: (one light) SB-900 @ 1/4 @ 20mm into 43" silver reflective - high camera left (nothing new and exciting)

camera info: Nikon D700 | 24-70mm(ƒ/2.8G)@26mm | ƒ/4.0 | ISO 500 | 1/30s — Tripoded on timer

35/365. Grab a brew. Don't cost nothin'. ~ Bluto (Animal House)

This is my beer, that I drank. Yes, I drank it... but it was for artistic purposes only! Not because I enjoyed it!

Today Dave walked me around a side of Google I never been to with a pond, cool trails, and lots of leaves (as if it were still fall!). The next two photos before this one are from that same walk. It was a nice break from staring at code all day — I must say Greasemonkey, Firebug, GMonkey, and Gmail do not play well together!

ANYWAY, Happy Bokeh Wednesday Everyone! See you tomorrow.

33/365. Go Dad! ~ Chris Griffin (Family Guy)

I. <3. Family Guy. I've seen every episode, at least three times. I bought these toys about a year ago in Canada and it hasn't been until now that I've been able to properly light them up (since I *have* taken pictures of them before). Since these guys are so rounded and curvy, the Genesis 200 lit them up so nicely it was hard to get a shot I didn't like. Hope everyone had a good Monday. See you tomorrow.

camera info: Nikon D700 | ISO 100 | 24-70mm(f/2.8G)@70mm | f/16 | 1/200s | WB 5200K

strobist info: Genesis 200 @ 1/1 power into 45" umbrella closed down | 2' from subject. Background was a double-layered black sheet sitting on my office chair (faux-seemless).

models release: Peter Griffin (double-phisting), and Chris Griffin.

15/365. Plastic cup politics ~ Less Than Jake.

We have a tradition every Thursday where we drink beer. It's called "Thirsty Thursday" which had originally started as Wine Wednesday. Our project managers are convinced that we're eventually just gonna go with "Alcohol Weekdays."

The two beers you see in the photo are made by Allagash, two of the best beers in the Universe. That funny lookin' guy in the photo is Dave. See ya'll tomorrow.

And in many cases, it fulfills

Tonight settled down on an Alagash Triple.

Can you tell the beer in his right hand is larger than the other?
