When most people think of coffee, they think of a bitter concoction, maybe made palatable by cream and sugar, they drink not so much for the taste but for the caffeine.
Over the past few years I dove headfirst into figuring out how to make good coffee, after an eye-opening experience in Seattle a few years ago. I'd been drinking coffee for years at that point, always drowned in milk and sugar. Black coffee was a no-go; too bitter, too foul-tasting. While on a trip to Seattle I visited Seattle Coffee Works and a friend had me try some of his freshly ground and brewed coffee. Instead of an overwhelming bitter taste, this coffee had a sweetness to it and at that point I decided I wanted to figure out how to make the same stuff at home.
Since then, I've tried a variety of brewing methods and tools, and that's what I'm going to ramble about today. Buckle up.

To say it's been a while since I've done anything with my site is an understatement. Not much to write at the moment, but I'm going to try to work on a few things that I've been thinking about and see what takes shape.
I'm turning 29 tomorrow. I think I'll make a bit of a resolution to try to post something at least once or twice a week, even if it's just silly stuff.
Last post was about friction. Found another gem out there tonight that solves a simple problem, but does it really, really well.

After the last couple weeks of Back To Work and some questions from some forums, I decided to write this about about a couple apps I use on iOS and OSX. Friction, on any device, sucks. You want to get in, get out, and get back to doing the thing you were working on. Apps like Drafts and Alfred 2 help to cut down on friction.

So I saw Miami Connection this weekend in Orlando. It was incredible and it's probably going to be on my mind for a while.
