I haven’t had time to write much that’s not software or software-related lately. That continues today. But here’s a link I don’t want to forget: SM’s Clever Coffee Dripper. The espresso machine needs some maintenance right now, and the press pot is starting to annoy me when it comes time to clean it up. Also, once the whole “no time” problem eases, I’m planning to try my hand at roasting. While I’d like it to be so, I doubt everything I roast will be good in the espresso machine, and the french press will still be annoying to clean.

Due to an absurdly bad streak of luck with my equipment, a kitchen remodel, a heavy work schedule, and some other demands on my time, I’ve barely kept up with email. When I’m in that place, posting here is out of the question. The kitchen remodel has now run its course, and I’ve turned my bad IT luck around with a nice new machine. Once I’ve finished transitioning my life to this monster MBP, I will post some photos of the remodel. The transformation is drastic. If I’ve missed an email or an IM from anyone, please resend… you’ve not been ignored, just lost in the flood.

I don’t know quite what to make of this, or the fact that I found it so funny.

Amazon Rank. It’s a miserable failure.

• Gorilla Espresso A Go-Go
• Gimme – both Deep Disco and Leftist Espresso blends sound good
• Various blends from Klatch Roasting look good
• Blend developed from an HB contest.

And I still haven’t tried all the ones from my last list. I am glad I got through a couple of bags of Lifesaver before Ritual discontinued it.

Word is, Caffe Ladro’s espresso blend is worth trying. Linking it here so I won’t forget it.

This analysis is correct. My take is a little different, though. They didn’t *break* the internet; they broke IPv4. By doing that, they have slyly added a reason (i.e. impending doom) to accelerate adoption of IPv6, where their scheme will no longer suck. Greater adoption of IPv6 will *save* the internet. So they didn’t break it… they saved it. Q.E.D.

After the last post, I need to move to “trivial and fun.” So, here’s last weekend’s long run, and my current favorite for the deadliest run I know in Arlington. The hills around mile 4 mean business. If you take the hard trail from miles 4 – 6 or so (resist the temptation to bail back out to the W&OD…) you won’t even notice the climb on mile 9.5 – 10. Click here if no map appears below. Course completed in 95 minutes and change.

I almost tagged this “politics,” but it isn’t, really. It’s not unrelated to politics, but calling it that trivializes the issue in a way I’m not comfortable with. Regardless of who’s controlling which branch of whichever government you like to harp on, there should be no room in our society for something like this to happen. What’s worse, it sounds like this might even be in the range of outcomes considered “good”.
