Oil and beer

Some Danes have brewed the world's first open-source beer, with the recipe and logo released under the Creative Commons License. As some skeptics observe in the guestbook, lots of people already give away beer recipes. Since I have other uses for my bathtub, I'll have to wait for some enterprising local to bring Vores Øl to a local pub for a fair judgement of the value of this contribution to the public domain. (Via Slashdot.)

Meanwhile, Chevron seems to be intensifying its peak-oil-esque promotion, Will You Join Us. According to Edgar in Crisis Energética, they're advertising on Mexican CNN, definitely several steps above the pastoral SUV ads we see more often here.
