Well yet again I received the cursed email from the National Park Service:
Thank you for submitting a lottery application for a Grand Canyon noncommercial river permit. We regret to inform you that you were not a winner. We wish you better luck next time.
Well next time I have 5 chances to win the lottery (assuming I don’t go on any Grand Canyon trips in 2009 or 2010), the maximum for non-carryover-from-waitlist people. For all who are interested in how the lottery went this year I have provided the Park Service’s statistics document.
At least we still have Pumphouse Wash unpermitted…

Telluride was Telluride yet again. Flagstaff Brewing Company was once again representing at the Blues and Brews festival. This year’s festival was marked by record breaking crowds, record breaking beer consumption, and (in my book) record breaking sunshine. This was probably the best festival in a few years as far as the music lineup was concerned. John Hiatt was probably the biggest surprise, probably because I haven’t seen him in forever. Warren, Trucks (both), Dirty Dozen, and Joan all were up to festival standards. For a special treat Warren Haynes and Susan Tedeschi-Trucks, with Ron Holloway, preformed a great set up at the conference center Saturday night, making for a sleepy Sunday morning.
The breweries were out in force as usual on Saturday morning. Despite adding a couple breweries to the roster, overcrowded beer lines were standard. We drained the three FBC kegs in record time, and I would venture to guess most breweries were out of beer within 2.5 hours. Overall, one of the more memorable festivals in recent times. Until next year Telluride!

Here is the thinkscript code for the Inverse Fisher Transform RSI that will work with thinkorswim charts.

It seems as though textpattern (and my site format) is sticking those long lines through the right sidebar of the site. I you highlight the whole thing and copy it should work on the paste in Studies. Here is what it should look like if it is working right (click for a larger, readable picture):
Edit: That is fixed now, sorry about the scrollbars

Due to overwhelming interest cough, I have decided to make a gallery section of Barlow the dog. There is a link from the “Sections” sidebar on all pages or you can view it by following this url. Maybe if I can figure out how to run the gallery plugin a bit better, it will be easier to navigate in the future. Until then enjoy the first rough attempt.

It finally happened… Flagstaff Brewing Company has brewed the 1000th batch of beer. It will be a maibock, coming in at around 6.8-7.0% ABV, 30 I.B.U., with an original gravity pushing 17° Plato. We are expecting a release date around the end of April.
