Google Analytics are awesome.
They're free, easy to set up, and tell you everything you need to know about how your website is performing.
But, they also encompass a confusing array of data, can be time-consuming to set up, and involve a dictionary of Google-speak. (What is a visit versus a pageview anyway?)

"Craft beer is too hoppy. Discuss." I tweeted that the other day in response to this Slate article. It sparked a good conversation on the twittuh and it seemed worth continuing here.

What's happening to the wine blog world? Attrition. It reminds me of my college classes.

Just catching up with this story…last fall, Rogue Ales in Oregon announced they had sourced a new yeast strain from an unusual place–the brewmaster's beard!
