Coffee Halo

Posted on March 14, 2010 by Kelson


Coffee Halo, originally uploaded by Kelson.

I only used the coffee mug because it was something handy with which I could block the sun. Still, I kind of like the “Behold…Coffee!” effect. OK, it’s not quite on a level with Heterodyne Coffee, but what is?

MMM…

Posted on December 16, 2009 by Kelson

Found a bottle of cinnamon in the lunch room and added it to coffee and a hot chocolate packet for a makeshift Mayan mocha. #

Monday Morning

Posted on December 7, 2009 by Kelson
  • I’m not sure light drizzle counts as “wind and rain,” but since I’d like to have water next year, I’ll take what I can get. # (We did finally get some later in the day.)
  • You know you need coffee when you bring your travel mug from home and leave it in the car. #

Coffee Saving Time

Posted on November 13, 2009 by Kelson

Since the time change, coffee has been running out an hour earlier. Coincidence? #

All it Needs is an iPod

Starbucks VIA Stand-Up

Seriously: this Starbucks VIA stand-up looks like it could use an iPod.

Venti Schmenti

Posted on September 16, 2009 by Kelson

So what do you think…

Travel Mug: Venti Schmenti. (Diedrich Coffee: Not So Big)

Would it be a bad idea to bring this travel mug to Starbucks? #

(Completely unrelated: The sound of gardening tools outside the office is blending with the computer fans for really weird harmonics. #)

Powerless at the Mall

Posted on September 3, 2009 by Kelson

How an outdoor mall dealt with a lunchtime power outage. And some Apple observations.

  • Power’s out at mall. No teriyaki bowl for me. Subway it is! (Hmm, and no iced coffee either. *sigh*) #
  • Near as I can tell, the Apple store is just completely shut down. Hazards of making checkout depend on computer network, I guess. #
  • For contrast, Subway just dug out a pad of paper credit card slips & did texture rubbings w/ a pen. #
  • Odd: muzak is so omnipresent I didn’t notice it was still playing. Speakers must be on another circuit from the stores. #
  • Turns out only some buildings have lost power. Including all the coffee except Starbucks. But Jamba Juice has power! #
  • Was weird walking through mall at lunch seeing lighted stores on right & dark on left. Some stayed open, some closed, some adapted. #
  • Coffee Bean mostly closed during the power outage, but set an employee out front with 2 urns of coffee. No ice, though. #

Out with the Old

Posted on July 2, 2009 by Kelson
  • OK, I think the new server is tested enough for now. Time for lunch. And, I think, a walk. #
  • Odd: I just watched 2 people tossing things over the edge of the roof of an office building in the distance for several minutes. #
  • I’ve just turned off our oldest internet-facing server. I’m not 100% sure, but I think it went back to 2001 – almost as old as IE6! #

Coffee & Crowds

Posted on June 19, 2009 by Kelson
  • You know you need coffee when: you put a filter in the coffee maker, then go back to get…a filter for the coffee maker. #
  • It gets better: after that I went to put the bag of coffee back in the fridge. Where I’ve never kept coffee. Ever. Batting 1000 today. #
  • Mall is a lot more crowded than Wed. Sure, it’s Friday, but also I think schools let out yesterday. Waiting in line this time at Jamba #

Coffee Cliché

Posted on June 14, 2009 by Kelson

Realized I’m doing the cliche coffee+laptop+wifi thing…except I’m at home with coffee I brewed myself and using my own network. #
