The real question is if all the University’s hot water fountains are going to offer me free hot water, why there isnt a single place I can spend twenty cents for a teabag?

Tired: Gonzo journalism
Wired: Statler & Waldorf journalism
Hired: Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem journalism
cat: what are you doing and why isn't it petting the cat?
Smart Mart (local organic/health food store that just opened recently on the other side of town) started selling my coffee today. Hope that goes well for them.
Pro tip: you're not on an episode of Frasier. Don't order coffee as if you were. (every place has a menu; using words that exist on that menu improves the odds that you get what you want and avoids turning the ordering process into a game of 20 questions)

I think I need a better answer to, "how's your Dad?" than, "well, he died in September, so..." Any advice?

@taweret This seems very similar to Name that Cheese, a game show sometimes seen during The Garfield Show. If you name the cheese, you win the cheese.
Tonight's grocery run is the most disappointing one since that time when not 1 item in the ice cream section had cream listed as the top ingredient.

@cwebber I find that whenever I feel entangled in a web of architecture or code that I've woven myself, it's best to put down the keyboard, and go for a walk.
A shower can help, too.
Or preparing a snack. (If actually hungry, also eating the snack.)
You'd think that the fundamentals of software design were lofty and deep, but this is what I've learnt: walking helps to think, and a break helps too.

Why is everyone so mad at that episode of TNG where Spiderman's true identity is revealed to be Reginald Barclay
Tonight the cat is alternating between rolling around and hugging me depending on which room I'm in. These rooms will now be known as the rolling room and the hugging room.
I think I've figured out where to put a picture of my cat in the book. (What does my cat have to do with roasted coffee product development? Absolutely nothing, but cats make everything better.)
New decaf coffees are now available through the shop's web site. A couple days later than I hoped to get that up, but it's done now.
The current design starts each chapter with the tl;dr version so if you want to fake having read the book you only need to skim 5 pages.
Spent some time last night working on chapter heading layout and ended up with something that I think I might like. Later I'll need to swap in real photos instead of the Atelier Firis fan art that's currently acting as a placeholder.

i had a dream where i was supposed to compress a bunch of sporting equipment as .tar.bz2 by putting it through various machinery but i got bored and threw a bunch of it into the bz2 machine without bothering to tar it, and then i had to go digging up the ground to find all the equipment because it got lost all because i was too lazy to tar it
the moral of the story is always tar before compressing so you don't lose file attributes and also so you don't have to spend days digging up lacrosse sticks and jump ropes
This is one of those areas where people get themselves worked up at the potential complexity, but it's something that you build up to in straightforward and easy to manage steps.
After I'm done with the book I think I'll do some videos that walk through exercises from the book starting with blending for espresso.
