It should be a fun class. There are a lot of coffee roasters who get trained in a single very specific approach to coffee roasting or who read stuff that convinces them that they must do things in a certain way and this class is all about breaking that down and empowering roasters to understand the contributions they can make to the finished product and how to make decisions that are right for their coffees, right for their business, and right for their customers.

Part of this is just that I have a lot of repeat instructors who decided they wanted to be part of this class again, but part of it is also that I've written the important stuff down and expect people to read it.

I had an hour scheduled for my class run through meeting, we knocked it out in under 35 minutes.

Every so often I think to check the @chest_bot leaderboard and I get a little disappointed that none of you have knocked my high score down yet.

You, too, can support me spending more time hanging out with the cat.

This is my cat this morning letting me know that I should stay home and snuggle with the cat instead of going to work. If enough companies were paying enough money for me to work on Typica full time I'd do a lot of that work at home with the cat. https://typica.us/

I have another one of these meetings tomorrow but someone else is the lead instructor there (though I guess he wants to restructure it as more like a panel thing so I might take a chunk of the lecture) so I can mostly listen on that one while for today's I'll be talking too much.

All set for today's meeting. This time it's my turn to run through a class that I'm leading with station instructors. There are still a couple slides in the presentation that I'll want to tweak before class, but I'm not going to have those ready today.

Cat is winking at me.

I'm lucky only 1 cat decided to move in here.

20th anniversary barrel shouting game

Work is done for the day. Time to build a city with lots of barrels to shout at.

It feels like a good time for someone to announce a reboot of Max Headroom. Netflix?

Someone said they liked my shirt today.

It's been over 20 years since the last update to HyperCard was released. When I was in the 4th grade I taught a small class on that. It was pretty neat because the people who wanted to make it do stuff could easily get into the coding side of things and the people who just wanted to draw stuff on the screen could do that, too.

Reglued the rubber strip that was falling off the bottom of the laptop. It seems to have elongated by an extra cm.

I was going to have another banana but then the cat sat on me so I guess I can't.
