It’s been kinda a short week here in the U.S. due to the  Independence Day holiday. A day that most of us Americans prove that we all have a little Redneck in us my grilling meat, drinking beer, and watching stuff blow up. 😉

Geeks already knew Reddit was popular. This week the press found out.

Something tells me our fellow Geeks over at Dropbox won’t be dating this coworker.

IZArc got a minor update to version 4.1.8.

Metallica at Comic-Con? Wish I could be there 😥

I hope y’all have a happy and safe weekend!

DuckDuckGo, there’s an app for that! Android, iOS, Windows
 
Firefox gets a logo tweak. So does the Motorola logo.
 
AnandTech looks at 4 Haswell mobos. [H]ardOCP looks at one. Is Asus back on top?
 
Google wants in on the game console cash. They are also making a wristwatch (like Apple).  I really don’t understand the watch thing. I haven’t worn one in many, many years. The time is on everything electric (TV, TV set-top box, computer, microwave, coffee maker, car radio, cell / smart phone, etc.). I’ve already got an Android phone.
 
I had a great beer from Blue Mountain Barrel House this week called Local Species. If you’re in to craft beers we have some great craft breweries here in Virginia. My favorites are:
Hardywood
Blue Mountain
Devil’s Backbone
Wild Wolf
If you are ever vacationing in Virginia, check out the Brew Ridge Trail!
No, I’m not making this next part up… I am really excited to try Beer Hound Brewery!!!!!!
