NBTextra : Los Angeles Beer Week from New Brew Thursday on Vimeo.
Welcome the second annual Los Angeles Beer Week! The LA craft beer scene has had a steady amount of growth over the last year and this year’s LA Beer Week is a testament to that.
On this, the final day of LA Beer Week at Union Station in downtown Los Angeles, we talk to some local Los Angeles breweries, LA Beer Week event organizers and even an EPIC LA burger truck you may have heard of before, called Grill ‘Em All.
Thanks to everyone involved for allowing us the opportunity to film and enjoy such a great event.
You DEFINITELY don’t want to miss next year’s LABW!

It has been a long time (far too long) since we let everybody know what is going on with Geeks On PHP so here I am to do exactly that. Due to some scheduling issues and unforeseen events Stephen and I have decided to disband the Geeks On PHP podcast. We had a great time bringing you weekly discussions on PHP, web development, databases and everything in between.
I recently started a new project called TweetPHP which is a web site and podcast focused on collaborative PHP development. We are using github to host our codebase and allow users to fork off their own copies of the repository and add/modify/contribute. If you are interested in a podcast focused on PHP and were still waiting for the OOP series then I urge you check out TweetPHP as we will be discussing object oriented programming in our next episode.
I will still be contributing to For the Love of Geeks in the form of blog posts and helping maintain the twitter account. If you are interested in seeing what else I am up to please check out http://nicholaskreidberg.com.
Thanks,
- Nicholas

Ray Ozzie to leave Microsoft. Microsoft steering OEM’s away from using Win Phone 7 on tablets. This is bucking the real trend. It won’t pay off for MSFT. Crazy.
