Matt came by this evening and brought some Onkyo sound equipment he wants Wesley to have. I haven’t looked it over yet but I assume it’s good stuff. Also included are some big, nice Pioneer speakers. I may use those in the living room :) But, the speakers I currently use are very nice. He…
Read More Friday free stuffFirstly, my cafe au lait experiments are going well. I brew a very dark roast at extra strength in a press pot (30g in a 3-cup I’d normally use 20g in) and then froth milk with my espresso machine steam wand.

So, I showed it to Wesley tonight when it got dark. He thought it was boring. The movie I squirmed all the way through. Uh, except when I was jumping. Sure, he…
Read More Wesley and Silent House. Wesley and Silent Hill.I wrote this some months back when I was trying to convince someone – anyone – to hire me into a coffee business… No one would bite – I didn’t get a single phone call.
