Beer!


Over the last week I was able to taste one of the best beers I've had in a long time. This beer was suggested to me by the Nashua Beer Store clerk Pouchon. This beer is an American Double and an Imperial IPA. IPA's are my favorite style of beer, to me IPA's have a ton of flavor and everyone has amazing qualities to it that set them apart from other styles of beer. The reason I was so fond of Resin produced by Sixpoint Brewery in Brooklyn New York was that it literally sent my taste buds into overload with all the different flavors which emerged from every drink. Some facts about Resin it is 9.10 ABV which is rather strong for beer. It is produced in a can so light will not effect the beers color or flavor. You can find this beer only at the Nashua Beer Store. It is a great place to get any type of beer or find a new favorite.

Vietnamese Coffee

Lately I have become obsessed with Vietnamese Coffee. It is twice as strong as regular coffee and has a better flavor overall. I cannot wait to drink my next cup of this awesome coffee. This video is filled with awesome facts such as Vietnam is the 2nd largest coffee exporter in the world. I found this video on vimeo which is similar to youtube but has better quality and more DIY style videos. The music in the background music is likely to get stuck in your head as well. I will be likely drinking a cup of this coffee in the next couple of hours. Currently I am singing the song out loud, my roommates believe this sounds similar to crazy frog who I will talk about in my next post. Until then enjoy this truly beautiful video about a truly incredible beverage.

Impact of The Internet on Society

The impact of the Internet on society is a rather large one. We have gone from a nation who has gone from getting all media from the television, radio, and newspapers, to a nation who will primarily get most information from the internet. In a day I will gain most of my information from either a blog website or just from looking at CNN on the internet. When watching TV everything is immersed in social networking, if you watch a sporting event the commentators have next the name @..... refering to a twitter handle. Even advertisements will refer you to a website. On campus being part of the radio station I first hand have discovered the key to more listeners is to have a presence in social media and have a great website. The majority of music that I will discover comes from the internet. Think you can find a band across the world with just using the internet. When you go to a restaurant you will most likely see couples not talking with each other but down in there phones surfing the web or texting. The internet is a great tool but it has its downsides. It has negative effects on society such as developing a who market of illegal activity and a generation who has poor social skills.

About Me.

Hey, I'm Matt Denaro. Welcome to my blog, here I'm going to tell you about myself. I am an Electrical Engineering Major here at UML. One of the best experiences I've had here at school is being part of the Campus Radio Station WUML 91.5. For the last 3 years I've been heavily involved with the day to day operations of the radio station. I am currently the co-host of Mixtape Science a hodgepodge show playing the best underground music around the world. My proudest moment at WUML is being part of the 60 Year Anniversary dinner which was put on in October and having close to 250 alumni come and celebrate with us. My best friend is Steve Lacourciere who met freshman year in Leitch Hall, here on campus. We became friends because he would spend all his time in my quad and always expell great wisdom upon all of us. I currently work for Apple and have been for about two years. It is a great place to work and enrich lives with great technology. I am addicted to going to a local taqueria in Salem Ma, I host an event called Tuesday night taco's where you get two dollar tacos.I am always interested in trying different foods my favorite food is Cambodian Dishes and Sushi. When I'm not working at the radio, apple or school, I rebuild antique cars with my father, we are currently restoring an 1978 MGB, I've learned to weld and fabricate in the process of the car. We hope for the car to be done around summer time. Well this is me in a nut shell. Enjoy!
