You can never have too much coffee…
I’ve just returned from a California vacation, which included, naturally, a few days inside Disneyland. I found the coffee options pretty poor and figured I’d share some tips here for coffee travelers. We stayed in the Paradise Pier hotel, and while it featured in-room coffee, it was really typical hotel room coffee, which is to […]
They say it’s good for your health to laugh at least ten minutes a day, so…here’s a list of signs you’re drinking too much coffee, enjoy! (source) You’re Drinking Too Much Coffee When . . . Juan Valdez named his donkey after you. You ski uphill. You get a speeding ticket even when you’re parked. […]
I know this is totally off topic, but I had to let you know about a new iPod dock from Pressure Drop called the JukeDock. It fits any iPod with a dock connector and has an adjustable back stop to fit the different sizes – mine works great with my iPod Mini and my iPod […]

From all appearances, they’ve taken replaced all the existing coffee shops, maybe even added a few. Luxor had *two*, for example! I never did […]
Starbucks had a darn good quarter, with sales increasing 24% and net income per share increasing 33% (via Bloomberg news). They’re expanding their lineup, adding hot breakfast sandwiches and lunch items. So, where is this all going? Straight downhill, that’s where. If they maintained espresso as the core of their business I’d respect that, but […]
A little random humor for the day: 15. “They told me at the blood bank this might happen.” 14. “This is just a 15 minute power-nap like they raved about in the last time management course you sent me to.” 13. “Whew! Guess I left the top off the liquid paper” 12. “I wasn’t sleeping! […]
I found a neat table showing the amount of caffeine in various drinks…check it out here.
‘Tis the season, and it’s good to take a break from the seriousness of neighborhood Christmas Light contests and take a minute to laugh. And so, I present a fine collection of Christmas comics, none of which I created but which I present here for your Holiday Humor needs (click through to the rest of […]
