Poor Man’s Valencia Mocha

Here’s my just discovered recipe for a quick and easy valencia mocha.

Ingredients:

  • One cafe latte or cappuccino, preferably homemade
  • One chocolate orange, preferably the one you gave you wife in her stocking, but any will do.

Take a bite out of a slice of the chocolate orange and drink some coffee. Damn that’s good.

Bigger isn’t always better

Thanks to Paul, I stumbled upon one of the best essays I’ve read this year: Code’s Worst Enemy. If you write code for a living, be sure to check it out.

A hidden feature in Bloglines beta

Lots of folks know about the hotkey support in Bloglines. You can hit “j” to move to the next item and “k” to move to the previous one. One item we’re trying out in the beta is a double-tap on “j” when you reach the end of a feed or folder. When you get to the last item, hit “j” once like you want to move to the next item and then hit it again to tell us, yes really do it. The next feed or folder (depending on what’s currently selected) will open up and you’ll be taken to the first item. Single-key reading ftw!

Thanks Tony!

Tony Morgan has a nice writeup on why he uses Bloglines. I just wanted to say thanks for the positive words. :)  3Pane view + iframe view really does change things quite a bit. We use it all the time internally.

Yes Virginia, there is a Faraday Cage

I saw one of these repair and inspection guys while cruising through Vermont one day. It looks even crazier in person.
