Well last year I blogged a handful of times here. I was just going over in my head what I had done in the last year. I thought I would give some updates.
In reverse order…
Sodbuster Stout Ale
This Ale is fantastic! The drink pictured in my post was actually a mixture of Mars Cafe’s coffee, brewed the Toddy Method and the Sod Buster Stout. It is a fantastic drink! The sod buster on it’s own has a great dark malty taste which compliments most meals. I have purchased this a few times and have used it to cook pot roasts and other meals with great flavor results.
How much do you know about castle?
This widget I built was on ABC.com, it only got 680 views and 26 installs. But it was a fun project to work on.
Bike-A-Thon!
We raised over $3000.00, which I see as a great success! Unfortunately the week of the Haiti trip there was rioting due to elections of new government and our building supporters suggested that we do not come until things settle down. I believe that the trip will happen in February. There will be an update on that some time.
Voices of Freedom – Promo Video
This video was shown at churches all over Des Moines. It had over 400 views online. I have been asked to make another promo video for another project.
KICK BALL!
Well… we WON! We won 1 game through the whole season. We worked hard together, but we always seemed to come up short at the end. We had big wins on friend-ship and laughs. If we do this again, I am in.
Look what I did! (secret life widget)
The secret life widget was featured on the home page of ABC.com and had 42,615 views and still being viewed. It was installed on 77 other sites by users. That was a pretty fun project and while the numbers sound great! I am not sure of the ROI on book sales.
A new bike…
Well I bought the Trek. I got this back in August shortly after I posted this. It is a great bike and super fast. I most recently rode single-speed in a Thanksgiving Alley-cat style race and received first place for single-speed. It was quite fun. I am looking at new tires and wheels to improve the speed. Riding fixed gear is harder than i thought, but it is a great workout. I used this bike nearly everyday for 3 months to get to and from work. I will update the next biking thing.
So whats next… I am not sure. You can follow me on twitter or maybe I will post on this blog more often.
Let me know what you think by leaving some comments.
