2010 was a year that the City of Salt saw two new craft breweries, more than enough new seasonals, enough high gravity beer to give you a wedgie, and some damn fine liquor. So for you, we will be highlighting the best of the best that hit market and what I feel best summarized the bad-ass-ness-ocity that is the motherfucking Utah craft scene! … read more

As much as I try, I can’t play everything. So if you can’t find Super Scribblenauts or Starcraft II or the latest WoW expansion on this list, it is not a reflection of their merit, so much as an indication that I am but one nerd with finite resources.  Don’t be hatin’ … read more

Nope, he’s awesome and here’s why. … read more

All I want for kwanzukka is my own fucking radio show on KRCL. I have a feeling that I am one of at least a hundred douchebags to send off such a request. I’m sure that in the talentless pool, few stand out who would make awesome on-air contributions. What I’m finding in the close relationship I’ve been forging with the home-spun station, is that it’s what’s on the inside of the future hopeful and what he or she can contribute that is going to matter. … read more

If you’ve been following Utah skateboarding for a while, you may or may not know Cristobal Napoleon Keller.  Even though Keller has been around for a long time, he’s remained pretty underground. He’s been keeping it real for quite a while and doing some really stylish tricks along with some really amazing artwork.  This guy always has a smile, enjoys life more than most and is really fun to nerd out with on ‘90s skate trivia. … read more
