“You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.” — Obi-Wan Kenobi

Venue: Skillman/Princeton/Rocky Hill
Venue City: , NJ
Brewery: Bolero Snort Brewery
Brewery City: Ridgefield Park, NJ
Beer: The Last Bovine
Style: IPA - Imperial / Double
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 9%
My rating: 4.5/5
Brewer's notes: Strong signs of the hops are within this one - train with care, a few too many can send you to the dark side. Brewed and double dry hopped with Citra, Amarillo, Falconers Flight and a tiny hit of Columbus lend notes of bright tangerine and spacey clementines with background resin.

NetNewsWire

NetNewsWire was one of the first RSS readers I used.

I've used news feeds and feed readers for as long as I can remember. But Chris's recent post got me thinking about the RSS tools I have used over the years and I remembered that for me it all really started with NetNewsWire. I have not used it for years and I had assumed it was dead. I am happy to learn that NetNewsWire is alive. I downloaded the trial version for macOS and iOS. I'll use it for a few days and compare to my experience with Reeder. Just because of ... "nostalgia".
