Scotch: A Pronunciation Guide

barbook:

And one final video (or rather series of videos), via Mr. Peter Vidani: actor Brian Cox demonstrates the proper pronunciation of leading single malt Scotch names. I’ll confess I’ve always been a bit intimidated to ask for Auchentoshan or Bruichladdich in a bar.

A deconstructed Bloody Mary at Aviary starts with a glass of frozen Worcestershire sauce, frozen balls of celery and Fresno ice cubes topped with white, tomato-flavored ice. A carafe of tomato juice and Karlsson’s vodka is added to the glass by the guest to finish the drink.

“In this scenario one sunny day you’re working on low-level NoSQL projects at the Gootch or wherever, and you get an email from Facebook and you go for the interview and Zuckerberg is talking about scaling PHP and suddenly pauses, gets this look in his eye, pulls his hoodie over his head and says “You have sixty seconds. You should be running.” Because engineers, as we are often reminded, are the ultimate prey.”

When I was 15, I configured a Waffle BBS system to act as a mail application and Usenet newsreader:

In the middle of the night, a mechanical lamp timer would turn on my 286 computer.
AUTOEXEC.BAT would detect the time, and run a separate batch file.
This batch file would run a UUCP application. My 2400 baud modem would call Lake Systems, a private dial-up UNIX system run by the sysadmin of Marquette University, and download a payload of mail and news.
In the morning, I was free to read rec.humor.funny without the bother of busy signals or slow modem throughput.
In order to set up this Rube Goldberg contraption, I needed to register as a host. Scanning my soda can- and candybar wrapper-littered desk, I fixed upon a half-eaten white chocolate bar, and chose my hostname.

Alpine.

Twenty-one years later, an anonymous software engineer pulled together various digital artifacts to create a multiplayer game for his son.

Tonight, while playing that game, I ran into my 15-year-old self.
