The agony of a typo.

Yes, I know.
I've screwed up our first poll ever.

"VOTE for your favorite Shultzy's Server?"

What's with the question mark? Well, I started the poll as "Who is your favorite Shultzy's Server?" And, as with most things, I should have left it well enough alone. But, I didn't. So, I wanted to change it to "VOTE for your favorite Shultzy's server." And that would have been fine. But I messed up the capitalization of "server" and left in the original question mark.

And that's when the agony set in...

For, unlike most web actions, this one is irreversible for practical purposes. The clever people at Google decided an author can't edit a poll once it's started to collect votes. I can't fix the header without starting the poll over again. And since we already have votes and a bunch of competitive employees, I'd be foolhardy to try a "do-over".

So, it is my penalty to have to look at this error each day for the next month or so. Aaargh!

My apologies to our readers.

Shultzy's in Japan? No, but I will be.

I'm headed to Japan tomorrow for a few days, so there won't be any blog updates until I get there. Emily will be sending me beer updates via SMS which I will then relay to the Shultzy's Twitter account and on to the blog. I will have my laptop with me, so I'll keep you up to date with any Shultzy's news that occurs in my absence. While I'm in Japan, there will be plenty of eating and drinking, though in all likelihood I'll have to wait until I return to get my Chimichurri Cheesesteak and 1/2 liter of Bitburger.

See you when I get back!
