2001 Rioja, Gran Reserva, Marqués de Cáceres, España (Spain)

This is 85% Tempranillo, which to me is a pretty tasty wine. Another one I would suggest to try out to experience different varietals.

2004 Alluvium Red Wine, Beringer, Knights Valley, CA

This is a little different as the wine name Alluvium is somewhat unique for a California wine. This was a very nice wine and I enjoyed it.

Survival Straps

I ordered and received an interesting new bracelet from Survival Straps. I read an article about them on Wired http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/survival_straps_paracord_bracelet and I liked the idea since I always have ropes and survival gear around.

http://www.survivalstraps.com/

I got a wide bracelet in two shades of tan so that it blends in a little more with my skin tone. The big metal shackle sort of stands out though. I'll probably order up some 550 para cord of my own and weave up a couple for the kids. The shackles are pretty standard marine versions.

The Concrete Jungle

I just finished reading The Concrete Jungle by Charles Stross. I really like his style of writing so I find it pretty easy to just blow through books and stories of his. This story has an interesting twist like a Men In Black story based in the UK.

This group is not being used and all the iPhone information will be moving to a public space. There is no need to sign up for the group any longer.

Finally, a fairy tarot deck for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The Mystic Faerie Tarot deck from Llewellyn is one of Aecletic Tarot's top ten deck for 2007. The deck created by Linda Ravenscroft is both beautiful and enchanting. You can now go to the iTune store to purchase and download it to your iPhone.

Anda's Game

I just finished reading Anda's Game by Cory Doctorow from his book Overclocked.

http://www.feedbooks.com/book/336

This reminds me so much of playing World of Warcraft and being in a big guild. I haven't played in a while as I concentrate on finishing up an iPhone app but I did have a lot of fun with it and the story brings back some fun memories.

When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth

I just finished reading When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth by Cory Doctorow from his book Overclocked.

http://www.feedbooks.com/book/335

I enjoyed the story and found it an interesting read. I'm not sure I would expect even a group of sysadmins to know anything about survival but with a little Google help I'm sure they could figure it out.
