My New Favorite

So I found this new site that I have been bouncing around for a couple months now and I have come to really like it. The site combines my frothy love for a good beer with the need to spend as little on said beer as necessary. As we all know the only way to accomplish this is to hit up a place during happy hour.

So my new favorite site is gotime.com. They provide a database of every happy hour in Seattle and when I say "every" happy hour, I mean these folks have scoped out every joint in Seattle for happy hours. If you had a kegger in your back yard and called it a happy hour, they would know about it.

Here's why I like the site so much. No matter the time of day, there is a happy hour going on and gotime will tell you where it is, even at 7AM. I kid not.

Anyway, at the fear of sounding like a fan boy, just go and check it out yourself. They also have an iPhone app (which I wish I could login from so I can access my favorites, hint, hint) and they also have other stuff like music and events and such. I'm a beer guy so I only really use it for that. Check it out you too may find a use for it.

No follow for you!

So I have been reading a lot of articles by so called Twitter "experts" who tell people that the "polite" thing to do is to follow back everyone following you. Uhm...no!

No offense to those following me but the beauty about Twitter is that "I" get to choose who I follow. I am following those that I have an interest. There's no science to it really. If I find someone that I think could be cool, I'll follow them and sometimes I unfollow if I lose interest.

There are a lot of folks that follow me that I, for the life of me I can't figure out why. For some reason I have a large following from Florida, perhaps my name is written on a bathroom stall down there. Regardless why you follow me, don't expect to get followed back, I'm not a follow backer and there is nothing that says I have to be. I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just I have a hard enough time keeping up with those I do follow. I would simply be overwhelmed if I followed everyone.

For those of you following me, thanks, I'm glad I can entertain you with my witless ramblings. If you're following me only to gain another follower then move along, there's nothing to see here.
