The NYTimes on the bourgeoning Sour Beer market. Glad to see it expanding. Russian River Brewing’s delightfully sour beers fermented with Brettanomyces yeast and aged in oak are among my current favorites. Although there is also some wisdom in the remarks of Ron Gansberg, the brewmaster at Cascade Brewing, “I didn’t sign on to the hops arms race and I’m not going to go down the road of, ‘My beer is more sour than yours.’ ”
The NY Times on the homeless population of Downtown Eastside Vancouver. So true; I’ve never seen such a throng. It made the Tenderloin seem like a vast uninhabited countryside.

So really, I do totally get why the stereotype fitting, hole-in-the-wall barbecue joint appeals to an out of towner, but come on Jim Noles, couldn’t you have wandered next door? Ok, so maybe 2 or 3 doors down, but still, why not give a new place a try! :)
The NY Times on the age old problem of what to wear when riding a bike. Spandex what?
Clay Shirky with a lengthy but nice piece: journalism is important, not the publishing industry; there probably will not be a new digital newspaper model which replaces the traditional newspaper, because the problems of printing and distribution solved by this traditional entity are completely trivial under the digital regime. So completely true, and yet I still just so hate reading from a screen.
A look at the downsides mass transit must overcome in order for people to abandon the automobile.
