Enterprise pick No. 2 of the week: Microsoft Translator offline language packs

Microsoft Translator offline language packs now enhanced with AI! (Just in time for Leo to go to Japan). For iOS, Android, and Windows (Windows still to come). Significantly better offline translation thanks to better machine translations.

Beer pick of the week: Mikkeller Henry Hops

Mikkeller just opened a mega beer bar at NY’s Citi Field. They have a TON of taps and it’s also open on non-game days.  Meanwhile, they also have some of their more basic beers in cans (for the ballpark and elsewhere), including Henry Hops – a decent, basic IPA.
