2013's Best Pumpkin/Sweet Potato Beers by @bobholt

Pumpkin Beers in August?! JUST SAY NO!

But when September rolls around, I start picking them up (Because if you wait until, oh, I don't know... October, they'll all be GONE. Awful.)

I'm making a bigger wish list than good ol' @voodootikigod, because who knows what will show up at my local package store? And if you find one I haven't tried that you just want to send me? You know where to find me.

@voodootikigod's Original Intro

As many know, I am fiend for the orange gourd known as Pumpkin. Whether in a pie, a latte, or as a flavor of beer - I cannot get enough pumpkin and wait all year for the orange goodness. I also have a fondness for beer, so the matching of the two is a beautiful moment in heaven for me. As such I am on a mission this year to try as many pumpkin ales as possible and rank them as to my preference. Your preference many be different and that is perfectly fine. What I am looking for in my pumpkin ale is a good taste of pumpkin, sligh

This is a work in progress. If I missed something or someone, please let me know!

Best Practices

It's hard to recommend best practices in general without context, but basically, writing clean, readable code with lots of comments, and doing a lot of automated unit testing, followed by an automated build process using ANT or Grunt to concatenate and minify files is a start.

Twitter

I don't focus much on blogs any more. I focus more on Twitter. If the people I follow there recommend something, I'll go read it. Here's the best of my Twitter list, including developers, conferences, and interesting groups. There are other great developers on Twitter, but these tweet mostly about development:

	// Usage:
	//
	// 1. Put this in the file that gets first loaded by RequireJS
	// 2. Once the page has loaded, type window.rtree.map() in the console
	// This will map all dependencies in the window.rtree.tree object
	// 3. To generate UML call window.rtree.toUml(). The output can be used
	// here: http://yuml.me/diagram/scruffy/class/draw
	requirejs.onResourceLoad = function (context, map, depMaps) {
	if (!window.rtree) {
	window.rtree = {};
