Codename pick of the week: Project B

A blast from the MS codename past. Project B, aka Project Baraboo, was the codename for the HoloLens. Baraboo is the name of a town in Wisconsin. Not sure if there’s another Baraboo somewhere… Given the Windows Holographic and Dona Sakar news today, it seems like a good time to resurrect the Project B code name.

Beer pick of the week: Melvin Brewing’s 2X4 DIPA

If you can get your hands on some Melvin, do it! But it’s not super easy to find this Wyoming beer, at least out East. For those who can and who like a good DIPA, try the 2X4. Warning: (At 10% and 98 IBUs, not for hop haters.)
