More fun things:

Perhaps I'm getting a little overzealous in posting again so soon, but for a quick taste (unfortunately not literally) of what I did this summer, check this stuff out:

I spent the beginning of this summer working as an intern for WhistlePig Whiskey, a new whiskey company based in Shoreham, Vermont.  My main duties were to handle Twitter, blogging, etc. (which explains the sparse postings on the WhistlePig blog, given the sorry state of this electronic travelogue...), but I also was able to have a hand in some of the more business-minded aspects of launching the company, from arranging shipments down to bottling the whiskey.  An additional perk was, of course, the opportunity to sample the product early and often.  It's delicious, perhaps-even-nutritious, and it retails for around $70 a bottle, so it was a great privilege to have such unlimited access.

One of the coolest projects I ended up working on for WhistlePig was a mood video we created (I use "we" very loosely here, as I had little to do with the creative process behind the film) to tell the story of the brand.  The brainchild of my friends Evan and Ian, and shot by Nick Stefani, it came out great.  Check it out below.

More recently, Ian also compiled a bunch of his random footage from the summer into an awesome 60-second montage.  Check it out -- I've probably watched it twenty times by now.

I can never really tell whether I think these things are so great because I know the vast majority of the people and places in them, or because they just are.  Hopefully it's the latter.
