Dear phone makers,

Nobody wants phones with a crease down the middle of the screen. We want Ranka's squishy critter phone instead.

Look at this cat.

Punk the cat requests belly rubs.

This profile is a cat.

New business cards arrived today. I was aiming for something simpler than the old design and note space on the back. Getting rid of logos was a conscious decision.

Unicorn pink hot chocolate is a thing that exists. Drink it from your left handed unicorn mug.

Cat recommends petting the cat.

This looked dubious until I realized that for some reason I was seeing a graph of views over the past 8 minutes. Now I wonder why anybody would think this is a useful thing to display.

There's a film crew at the shop all day today. They're doing a portfolio piece but I think I'll be able to upload that to PeerTube when they're finished. They're scheduled for filming another day later in the month.

According to YouTube Studio my videos typically get a weird gigantic spike in watch time after they've been up for about half a year. The one that's become the most watched coffee roasting video that actually provides good information on that site didn't get much for views in its first year. Now I just tell people to watch my stuff on https://video.typica.us/ but nobody does.

I use the cupping spoons that people give me. This one is from Australia.

belly rubs

She's trying hard to lick my arm.

The cat thinks my arm is delicious.

One of the coffees that arrived yesterday. I taste every new coffee roasted lots of different ways to figure out the approach I want to take in production. Even very similar coffees that might taste the same from one season to the next might require slightly different approaches to roasting to get that match.

She knows I'm taking a picture.

Hello, cat.

Quality time with the cat
