The scene in MUSC’s horseshoe this morning for the graduation ceremony.
Congratulations to MUSC’s Class of 2008!
MUSC Graduation 2008
First Flush
The tea variety, not toilets.
Tomorrow is the First Flush festival at Charleston’s very own tea plantation (and apparently the only one in the US too). Goes from 10-5 with music and other fun things to do.
This years’ First Flush Festival–to celebrate the arrival of our 2008 tea crop–will be held on Saturday May 17, 2008. Mark your calendar and come to Charleston Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw Island for a whole day of fun, games, food, some great live music and an opportunity to purchase your own supply of Charleston Tea Plantation’s 2008 First Flush Loose Tea. Last year’s Festival was a great day for all who attended and for the Charleston Tea Plantation Team!
The tea plantation’s been on my list of places to check out for a while now so I figured this would be a good opportunity to go see.
Feel free to join me if you’re not busy tomorrow.
Zombie goodness
Got to see the preview of Dan’s Brunch of the Living Dead short film at tonight’s meetup (which was a lot of fun with lots of new and old faces BTW).
Very funny and excellently done. The shot of zombie-Joan eating brains and gristle was great. Everybody involved did a great job and I’m looking forward to seeing the final release.
Open source beer
This is kind of a cool and novel project that slipped by me. The Free Beer concept takes a beer recipe and releases it under a Creative Commons license. Anybody can take the recipe, brew it, modify it and even sell it as long as credit is given and the modified recipe is published
The recipe and branding elements of FREE BEER is published under a Creative Commons (Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5) license, which means that anyone can use the recipe to brew their own FREE BEER or create a derivative of the recipe. Anyone is free to earn money from FREE BEER, but they must publish the recipe under the same license and credit our work. All design and branding elements are available to beer brewers, and can be modified to suit, provided changes are published under the same license (“Attribution & Share Alike“)
The most recent version is Free Beer v3.4, but it’s in Portuguese so you’ll need a translator.
Here’s an idea. How about some of our Lowcountry homebrewers give one of the recipes a try and show off the results at one of our meetups! Maybe they could even make up a Lowcountry version of Free Beer too! Some guys in Knoxville TN came up with v3.3. I’m sure brewers around here could whip up something too. I think that would be pretty awesome.
I really need eavestroughs
I have my very own waterfall when it rains
This is what the storm looked like from my house
