Steve Jobs thinks I'm Gay!
I'm a member of a beer club. A small gathering of beer-centric geeks who get a kick out of tasting and discussing micro-brewed, craft beers, rare beers, one-off beers etc.
Most of the club is a little nerdier than me when it comes to tasting. They take notes. Descriptive chronicles of the palatte. I simply sniff, taste and throw out my 2 cents when I feel like I have something to add to the group. However, I found that when we would get together every so often, I couldn't remember exactly what I had tried before, while the others seemed fairly knowledgable of their dark beery pasts.
So this time, I decided to take notes.
Conveniently enough I have an iPod Touch, with a program called 'notes'. So I decided I would type in my findings. After some 18-20 beers I had quite a bit of opinion based typing under my index finger, but...I’m a little worried about my decision to take notes now that I've gone back and reviewed what I drank that evening, as one of the last few entries reads:
Lazy Magnolia – Southern Pecan Nut Brown Ale = men
Disturbing.
The reasonable explanation certainly must be that I commented a simple ‘meh’ because it failed to impress me, but the iPod thinks it knows what I really mean when I type and will correct it accordingly. Which doesn’t necessarily lessen the shock when my own notes tell me that I thought a Nut Brown Ale tasted like men.
...Shudder.
I think Steve Jobs just called me a homo.
