I had never had an oatmeal stout from Redhook before. I wonder if it's a new thing for them. It's pretty mellow for a stout, almost like an IPA, but darker. It's got that distinct Redhook flavor like all their styles. Nice one actually. I would definitely have it again. Not so special, but extremely drinkable, especially with food. 6/10

First, a disclaimer: I'm not an Apple fanboy. I don't even particularly like Apple. But I will still get an iPad, because contrary to what a lot of people think, I do believe it's magical.
Jobs put it perfectly during the presentation; you need to hold one to appreciate how great it is. If there was no such thing as a laptop in the world and I showed you one, you would go "a tiny computer with a small keyboard that doesn't have a number pad? Bad speakers and and low-res display? And it's more expensive than my desktop machine, even though it comes with a slower processor, not to mention it gets hot and scalds my lap? No way, I don't need one". My point is, the iPad is one of those portable devices you need to own and experience yourself to appreciate its practical use.
It is in fact a revolutionary device that will change the way we live. I know Apple did not come up with a totally new concept here. But the original iPod wasn't a new idea either, there were many other mp3 players out there when it first came out. It's Apple's comprehensive thinking under the hood that made the iPod so revolutionary. The design of the physical device, the interface, Apple's content model via iTunes, affordability etc. I think with the iPad, they are following a similar model, if not a more comprehensive one.
Here are some more reasons why I am getting one:

More experimentation with the 7d, this time incorporating a more cinematic look with color grading and aspect ratio.Comments [0]
I've had the 85mm f/1.8 for over a week now, so I thought I should offer a mini review for the "rest of us". And by that I mean if you are looking for specs, charts, sample photos, stats etc. please look elsewhere. Here's what I've got:

Unless I return it (which is still a possibility) I will try to add more comments as I discover this lens. So stay tuned!

I've always been a big fan of Sam Smith's but I hadn't tried their India ale before. It didn't disappoint. Smooth, tasty, highly drinkable. Man, those Brits really know how to brew. 7/10
