Welcome to The Half Hour Happy Hour, your chance to sit back, have a drink, and listen to some insightful musings, funny anecdotes, the occasional rant, and an all too frequent Bruce Willis reference. Join Jen, Justin and Jer in hoisting a beverage (or three), picking apart topics of the day, and explaining how things came to be the way they are. Its one part educational, one part bacchanal, best served over ice with a healthy dose of wit and a twist of cynicism. beer, conversation, technology, society, humor, informative The Half Hour Happy Hour The Half Hour Happy Hour admin@blunderbussmedia.com no yes So Long, And Thanks For All The Beer http://www.thehalfhourhappyhour.com/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-beer http://www.thehalfhourhappyhour.com/so-long-and-thanks-for-all-the-beer#comments Sat, 17 Dec 2011 18:49:48 +0000 bbmedia http://www.thehalfhourhappyhour.com/thehalfhourhappyhour/?p=551

As the year comes to a close, we bring you a special episode of The Half Hour Happy Hour. We record on location at one of our very favorite Sarasota watering holes, The Cock & Bull Pub. We bring a few friends along for the ride, and we drink a large amount of beer. It's a great time. With this episode, we also have a sad announcement, as we will be going on indefinite hiatus. We've enjoyed the time we've spent with you and appreciate your listenership.

There's a nip in the air and a nip in our glasses that remind us it's time for another episode of The Half Hour Happy Hour. This week we sample some more beer from Schlafly, which we will miss saying once we are out. We start off with a bit of business news about the failed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile. Then we talk a bit about the bulldog and how some people want to genetically engineer it back to it's pre-human-screwed-with state. Finally, we geek out on the way out with some news and pictures of the Curiosity rover, and a new breakthrough in HUD contact lenses. beer, podcast, nasa, curiosity, bulldog, led, contact, lens The Half Hour Happy Hour yes no White Nose Bats, Zombie Boot Camp, And Face Molesting Robo-Bear-Pillow http://www.thehalfhourhappyhour.com/white-nose-bats-zombie-boot-camp-and-face-molesting-robo-bear-pillow http://www.thehalfhourhappyhour.com/white-nose-bats-zombie-boot-camp-and-face-molesting-robo-bear-pillow#comments Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:14:08 +0000 bbmedia http://www.thehalfhourhappyhour.com/thehalfhourhappyhour/?p=531

This week, we've got your usual mix of the ridiculous and awesome. You know, things like an airline that wants in flight porn. Hmm. There's also some good social commentary this week as we touch on topics like how much money is wasted on commuting and the ethics of employing technology to monitor/spy on your children.

This week we've got a lot of artsy things to talk about. Sarasota Chalk Festival rolled through town and inspired Jen to find some alternative art styles.

Welcome to The Half Hour Happy Hour's spooktacular Halloween episode. We start off with a little info one where Halloween came from, how it get to where it is, and how much we Americans like to spend on it. We've also got some awesome pumpkin carving pictures. After the Halloween talk, we move on to topics like the Polish cops who got fired for protecting Paris Hilton, why it would be a bad thing if the U.S. got out of debt, and what kind of hijinks PETA is getting up to these days. Then I offer a bit of a counterpoint to some of previous space exploration discussions. We wouldn't want to appear biased, of course.

We have a story about free sperm, but you're on your own for actually finding some. Try Craigslist (you wouldn't be the first). This week's episode starts with a few stories related to previous episodes, like real life superhero Phoenix Jones and Virgin Galactic's new spaceport. We've also got french Spiderman, giant robot arms, and ninja turtle noses.
