New thing arrived today. It sort of works with my laptop but I only have 1 kind of crummy synth installed for testing that doesn't really allow for everything this is capable of. It'll work better hooked up to stuff I've got at home.

This is still the most Klingon design on a coffee bag I've ever seen. #raktajino

This is what I've been using to draft the coffee roasting book I've been working on. It's a hard cover Moleskine book that came in a swag bag from some event. Between the hard cover and the strap, I can fit it in my pocket without worrying about it getting destroyed and I can write notes as I think of them no matter where I am. The contents get moved to a computer, organized, and fleshed out when I have larger time blocks and I'm in the right state of mind for working on that.

I wonder what this said before it was run through Google Translate.

I need to clean that carpet.

Cat likes these pillows.

This is such an odd trend in junk email.

In case any of you wanted to know what infrared gas burners looks like, here's a picture. My larger roaster has two of these running down the length of the drum. They're considerably less polluting than the more common atmospheric burners, but you need to read farther ahead on your roasting plan because it takes a while between changing the burner setting and seeing the impact of that change.

Book store in the airport has a surprisingly large selection of Cardcaptor Sakura jigsaw puzzles. I bought a new notebook instead. You can never have too many notebooks.

The dogs continue to multiply. Now appearing in different colors. They seem to be free to come and go as they please.

Good dog

There are more dogs here every day.

My hotel room is now being guarded by this cat. I feel safer already.

Previous experience suggested that I could only use chopsticks in China. Now I know I can extend that to more of Asia. Maybe I just can't use them in America.

I've never seen -????????? as a file permission before.

Nutella and berry pancakes for breakfast along with a single espresso and an iced mocha with way too much whipped cream.
