Buying things is fun. The Internet makes it ever more fun and, often unfortunately for one's wallet, maybe too easy. Gabe and Jeff explore the different ways the buy things from vendors on the Internet while sipping a strangely-named beer sent in from a listener -- Helluva Caucasian by Living The Dream Brewing.

Gabe and Jeff do an epic, in-depth look at DEVONthink Pro Office and discuss how they use the tool that has become such a big part of their digital lives. Mosaic Promise by Founders provided the perfect sip-worthy backdrop for the discussion.

Macdrifter Review of DEVONthink To Go 2

Gabe and Jeff discuss the usefulness of Apple's stock iOS apps. Which ones get daily use and which ones are better left in a folder somewhere? It turns out, Apple makes some good, but not perfect software and it takes a lot of discussion and sipping on a slightly-stale Amazing She-Monster by Spring House Brewing Company to hash things out.

Gabe asks a lot of questions about Jeff's budget experiment where he tries to live on a small amount of money for six months. They talk about what he found on the journey to live with less. Diversions include a discussion about what seems important versus what really is important and how to approach big problems like an adult (as unfun as that sounds).

They kept the conversation smooth and lively while sipping a Nitro Coffee Stout by Boston Beer Company.

Although they complain like cranky old men about a lot of stuff, Gabe and Jeff do like things. This podcast is proof as they discuss things they like ranging from physical objects to people, theories, places and ideas. Sipping on a Thunder Foam by Harpoon Brewery

Gabe and Jeff depart from their talk of task managers to delve into Louis CK's latest offering, Horace & Pete. It is an incredible show but it can be brutal in parts. They needed a calm, gentle IPA to guide them through it. The beer came in the form of a G-Bot by New England Brewing Company sent by an excellent listener.

Jeff and Gabe talk about where our systems break down, rough edges and friction. Not just the uber-nerdy task management stuff but also what needs to be fixed with travel, apps, photo management, banking, and life in general.

These problems all fade into the background when imbibing a nicely balanced Sea Hag by New England Brewery sent from a good friend of the show, Terry. Thanks, Terry.

Gabe and Jeff subject themselves to perhaps the worst beer ever brewed but then switched gears to an excellent brew from Wicked Weed (although it is a sour so Gabe wasn't happy about it anyway). They talk about how their devices shape their lives by helping them find things, communicate and catalog their beer experiences.

Good habits, bad habits, habits of mind — we all have habits. Gabe and Jeff discuss the value of habits and their downsides while sipping on an excellent beer by Tröeg's Brewing Company called Nugget Nectar.

They both wanted to make a habit of drinking this beer. It was excellent.
