I switched from Blogger to Movable Type on September 7, 2003. This page was made before that time. I'm keeping it here so that incoming links and bookmarks still work. No problem, really, just be aware that these old pages will not be updated.

All of the old content was moved into Movable Type, and is accessible from the home page. We now returned to your regularly-scheduled blog.

Honeymoon's Over

Well, the honeymoon's over. I ordered three large pizzas for dinner, cancelled my gym membership, and threw away all of my grooming products. I'm a husband now, not a boyfriend. Deal closed. Too late for her to back out now.

I kid. We're still decompressing after the wedding and honeymoon, so blogging will be light this week.

In Search of Efes Beer in Knoxville

Does anyone know where to get Efes Turkish beer in Knoxville? Melissa and I had it in New York and liked it a bunch.

LATER: We stopped by Sam's Party Store after the UT game hoping he'd have it. No luck. What he did have was some darned fine Wurzburger Oktoberfest </obligatory German spelling>.

I love me some Octoberfest. The sadly defunct New Knoxville Brewing Company had a great one that I drank at the Black Mountain music festival with Al Cruzen, one of the company's founders. He had a pup tent set up with two kegs of the stuff. Drink all you want. Good times. Al's brother is also a brewmaster and a nice guy. It must run in the family.

Does anyone know why Octoberfests aren't made year round? I hate sitting in front of the calendar 11 months out of the year, crossing out dates as the season slowly approaches.

Which Les Jones are you?

I'm the good-looking one.

In the early days of the web around 1994 someone did a WebCrawler search for "les or leslie or lesley or lester jones" and made a mailing list. There were hundreds of us.

I graduated Maryville (TN) High School and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (with a degree in biology). I worked for U.S. Internet until about a year after the IPO, and now work as an e-commerce manager in Knoxville. I was the author and owner of the award-winning 56K.COM from 1997 to 2003.
