Real Geologists Don't Drink Virtual Beer

Today ended my participating in a pilot of the online workshop from Carelton College/ SERC on New Worlds for Geoscience Teaching: Using Online Games and Environments.
The agenda included at the end a gathering for "virtual beer" which was not exactly agreed upon how to do it. If you've ever been around geologists, there is often a lot of beer involved, so we opted to share photos of us sipping some brews.
So this is me enjoying a Fat Tire, and playing with the effects features of PhotoBooth in Mac OS X to do a cheap greenscreen of me at Yosemite.
Virtual beer just does not cut it!
