My name is Carleton Atwater and I live in Boston. Among other things I write for Beeriety.com, your new favorite beer website.I get pretty excited about new media, craft beer, politics and technology,  especially when they overlap. Using Yahoo Pipes I’ve put together a RSS feed which aggregates most of my online activity into one subscribeable feed. atwaterc (at) gmail.com Asks me questions var sc_project=347144; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=1; var sc_security=""; background by Time Master Tumblr (3.0; @sostark)http://sostark.net/<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://sostark.net/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/445999869/tumblr_kz8knd6s3R1qz7wfj&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p><strong>Elvis Presley</strong> ‘If I Can Dream’</p> <p><a href="http://nedhepburn.tumblr.com/post/445953547/elvis-presley-if-i-can-dream">nedhepburn</a>:</p>http://sostark.net/post/445999869http://sostark.net/post/445999869Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:22:21 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz72d8pTg21qz9kdso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://bminortoa.tumblr.com/post/444217425/pitchfork-meet-the-wilco-tango-foxtrot-beer">bminortoa</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://pitchfork.com/news/38175-meet-the-wilco-tango-foxtrot-beer/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PitchforkLatestNews+%28Pitchfork%3A+Latest+News%29&utm_content=Google+Reader">Pitchfork: Meet the “Wilco Tango Foxtrot” Beer</a></p> </blockquote>http://sostark.net/post/445789659http://sostark.net/post/445789659Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:16:53 -0500beerpitchfork<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz6vpvf26m1qzci65o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://fuckyeahrocknroll.tumblr.com/post/443978773/macca-damon-random-photo-of-the-day">fuckyeahrocknroll</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>[Paul McCartney]  & Damon [Albarn]</p> <p>Random photo of the day!</p> </blockquote> <p>I’m tempted to make some terrible pun about ‘passing the torch’ here, but I won’t</p>http://sostark.net/post/443984362http://sostark.net/post/443984362Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:02:26 -0500you're welcome<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz6oi5GktB1qa98r8o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Interesting, will have to check this out.</p> <p><a href="http://chrisbrook.tumblr.com/post/443756899/hadnt-heard-about-this-but-good-to-know-its">via chrisbrook</a></p>http://sostark.net/post/443769335http://sostark.net/post/443769335Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:32:44 -0500bostonsession beerlocal food slow fest<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz6oahWlP21qz59z1o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/beerpulse/~3/Kfx0jEwl7yI/">Pretty Things Fluffy White Rabbits coming soon</a></p>http://sostark.net/post/443751010http://sostark.net/post/443751010Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:18:17 -0500beer<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kz4zwtrRDv1qzpzfmo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Conan O’Brien’ isn’t making a single cent off his upcoming 30 city comedy tour</strong></p> <p>Coco is doing the whole thing so he can employ his former “<strong>Tonight Show</strong>” staff. <br/>We’re told roughly 40 people have been hired to work on the production — many of whom are “Tonight Show” alums.</p> <p><a href="http://blondesnotbombs.tumblr.com/post/443508208/even-more-reason-to-love-conan">blondesnotbombs</a>:<a href="http://theduty.tumblr.com/post/442170756/robotindisguise-conan-obrien-isnt-making-a">theduty</a>:<a href="http://robotindisguise.tumblr.com/post/441841879">robotindisguise</a>:</p>http://sostark.net/post/443516884http://sostark.net/post/443516884Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:14:15 -0500team conan<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bqK12BJlfpE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bqK12BJlfpE&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://tumblr.beeriety.com/post/443424687/renowned-beer-writer-michael-jackson-on-late-night">beeriety</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Renowned beer writer <a title="Wikipedia -

Often this can be because they’ve never had a proper introduction to all the different tastes and variety that beer has to offer. We here at Beeriety believe there is a beer out there for everyone.
