Oh, that espresso machine problem

Sunday I mentioned that my espresso machine failed during a matcha latte demo. It turned out to be a trivial thing… my thermal cutoff died. My initial impression that it must have overheated was correct. I went to Home Espresso Repair in Phinney Read More...

How to be adaptable

Over the last few days I have been chatting with some more people who I think will be good partners for near-term business projects… I was approached by someone who wants me to coordinate and plan a short-term ceramics event in the late summer/early Read More...

First matcha latte demo

It was a quiet day at Bellevue’s Uwajimaya, but I did my first demonstration of Three Tree Tea’s matcha latte mix . Customer reception seemed mostly positive, but there are some folks who don’t like matcha, some who don’t like Read More...

Demos on weekdays, sorbet at night

A rare case of tax procrastination

When I worked at Microsoft I had a habit of figuring out my taxes just after all the forms came in… I would file my return right away if I was due a refund, or wait until the last moment if I owed money. This year my taxes were more complicated Read More...

Irritating spammers

It seems over the last few months my referrer logs on my blog site have become nearly useless. I used to enjoy looking to see who was linking to me, but now 90% of the “referrers” are actually bogus. They attempt to promote questionable pharmaceutical Read More...

Outsourced customer service sucks

A bit over a week ago my otherwise nifty Motorola MPX220 phone decided to stop charging… the battery seemed fine, but when I plugged in any of several charging devices, no power flowed into the device. After struggling through what I thought was Read More...
