I love the smell of this Coffee & Tea Ltd.
Bottle Shock
Fun and happy movie about the beginnings of the California wine valley. Not a great script. Fine snowy evening rental.

20 Corporate Brand Logo Evolution ← Cool overview of brand logo evolution. Interesting to see how some have changed, and how some haven’t.
Fired up the Big Green Egg and did a 3 lb. grass-fed beef tenderloin on it tonight. Basic preparation with a little salt and pepper. Turned out really nice, but I still have much to learn. Controlling the heat on the Egg at 400 °F was harder than it should have. I could have done a better job building the fire.
Family Ski Weekend
Earlier this month we went “up north” and spent the weekend at Giant’s Ridge with our friends the Tangen’s. A fun time was had by all but Tammy was the only one that really knew how to ski. Kent and I did a morning in ski lessons and then worked up the courage to go down the real hills. The kids had a great time going down the bunny hill and back up on the “magic carpet”. The whole weekend felt a bit retro, and that was the inspiration for the video I put together.
Add video.
Had to dig out a smaller suit. Yeah for weight loss.
Enough Twitter already!
Driving at night.
Removing clay from wheel.
Throwing.
Helped neighbor resolve MobileMe syncing problem. MobileMe support did a good job.
Apple TV just restarted spontaneously on me. Rare, and annoying.
Start Seeing Black Dogs ← As someone that has a black dog, this site and it’s goal is absolutely worth highlighting.
Great cartoon on the bathroom wall at One on One bicycle studio.
PDML Photo Annual ← This looks like a really interesting photography book brought together by shooters around the world. Great idea.
Mazie and I are reading and relaxing at Cafe Mozart this morning. Really great espresso.

Back to Bartering.
Yes, we need to go back to the old system.
Really?
Yes, bartering.
Yes, they do that in Mexico.
Two old guys at Peet’s coffee (via hectorguatemala). I was sitting there with Hector overhearing the same conversation.
Finalizing our plans for the day in Chicago. I 💚 Chicago. Heading over to see Hector’s place shortly. Need coffee too.
