Espresso Twists in Naples, Italy
6 Nov 2009 | 9:00 pmIn Naples an excellent cup of coffee can be found twice on every block. If you ask for coffee and want something that comes in a cup larger than the length of your thumb, Neapolitans either look confused or smirk. For them, coffee is caffe and caffe everywhere else in the world is called espresso. -

Common mistakes in social media and other insights on impact
21 Nov 2009 | 9:03 amOver on SmartBlog, Mary Ellen Slayter interviews Olivier Blanchard (above), a seasoned brand strategist at BrandBuilder Marketing. Blanchard delves into his perspective on how businesses can maximize their return on social media. He shares, for instance, three common mistakes companies make when trying to measure the value of social media: Focusing too much on digital measurement. Not understanding the difference between nonfinancial impact and financial impact. Not establishing clear goals and objectives when launching a social media program. How can you avoid this fate, and what other… -
A geography of BBQ
21 Nov 2009 | 8:38 amAs a newcomer to DC, people keep telling me that my BBQ education is about to begin. Though complete strangers and close roommates have preached the glories of BBQ, this article is the clearest introduction to the sauce I’ve seen yet. Did you know there are at least four kinds of sauce? Kansas City Style Sauce Texas Style Sauce North Carolina Style Sauce South Carolina Style Sauce Check out the article to see just how each of them differ. Hungry for more? There’s much more about food and recipes. Permalink | Leave a comment » -

Spotlight On: Matt Preston
16 Nov 2009 | 2:58 pmRice Paper Expert, Matt Pearson Now, I confess that I don’t actually know Matt Preston; but if he suggests going down the pub for a pint and a chat, I’ll be there. Once he gets back from South East Asia and Australia, that is. Matt and his wife have gone on a trip: From September my wife and I will be embarking on an adventure in to the unknown. Travelling through South East Asia then settling in Australia for a while. It’s time to broaden our horizons. Doesn’t say when they’ll be back, notice. This, I think, may be the essence of why I find Matt and his work… -
Spudz Lens Cleaning Cloths; Update
10 Nov 2009 | 9:36 amI have been carrying around and using Spudz Lens Cleaning Cloths now for almost two years. I have had the tiny ones, the huge ones (not sure they are actually called “Spudz“), the “grey card” one and now the bit-bigger-but-not-so-big-it’s-not-practical one (large – 10″ x 10″). And I still absolutely love them! I don’t think I ever go anywhere without one, either in my pocket and mainly reserved for cleaning my specs, or clipped on the side of the camera bag. I use them for cleaning my monitors and even the TV once in a while (although… -
Canon UK, You Are Grinding My Gears!
4 Nov 2009 | 5:37 amOkay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration (pretty much an outright lie, really). I don’t have any great issue with Canon in general, it’s just with the PR people. On the Canon UK website, they have a section of “PR Contacts” complete with names and email addresses. However, I’ve emailed them all and not had a single response. I suppose it could be a problem with junk mail in either direction, but I don’t seem to have junk issues with other people. It puzzles me why a company such as Canon would want to tell you who to contact and then not reply. Maybe The… -
fotoLIBRA Picture Library – Anyone Using It?

We are not particularly looking for good or bad experiences; I’m exploring stock photography in general and I have always liked the fotoLIBRA format, even if only because it is different to the “usual” library way of working.

Spotlight On: Bob Keefer, Contemporary Photographer
28 Oct 2009 | 3:11 amEvery now and then we get an email from a photographer suggesting our readers might be interested in their work. I always like to believe that all photographers are interested in all other photographers work, but I suspect that “all” should be modified to “most” or even “some”. Anyway, as someone who comes from the black & white darkroom era and who has played with hand-colouring (unsuccessfully, I might add!) I thought I would shine the spotlight on Bob Keefer. In his words: Your readers might be interested in checking out my contemporary hand colored…

Thoughts on email archiving (Admins: Here’s how to keep your users from hating you or tell you Lotus Notes sucks)
27 Oct 2009 | 11:09 pmFirst, a disclaimer: I do not use Lotus Notes Archiving. Instead, I use another method to invisibly move my finished work (emails, calendar, and tasks) to my archive. However, I serve many Lotus Notes users that use, want to use, or are forced to use Lotus Notes archiving. It is from these clients that I have learned a great deal about the relationship between archiving and lost productivity. This blog post is written for these people and it will consider the impact of poorly configured archiving and what you can do about it. I received an email from a customer today asking me a question… -
Playing with sidebar widgets in Lotus Notes 8.51. Cool!
21 Oct 2009 | 10:09 pmWith today's release of eProductivity 1.81 out the door, I took some time to play with the widgets in Notes 8.51. This is really neat. I was able to easily configure two widgets in Notes and I even have them now floating on my desktop as their own windows. How cool is that? Here's a preview of the Today view and the All by Context views: While I'm testing this with eProductivity, you can use these steps with any view in any database in Lotus Notes. I've documented the steps I used to accomplish this here.Originally posted on eProductivity -

From 2400 Baud & Alligator Clips to 30,000 ft. w/Lotus Notes
19 Oct 2009 | 12:08 amI've been using Lotus Notes for a few years (Since R2) and over the past 16 years, Notes has become the core of my information, communication, collaboration, and action management systems. I started using Notes back in the days of 2400 Baud SmartModems. One of the reasons I used, recommended, and deployed Notes for my clients at the time was because it allowed people to work locally (off-line) and it hid the fact that the modem technolgy was slow and phone jacks were hard to find. (Remember, this was back in the days when you had to carry screw drivers and alligator clips with you to the… -
10 Min to upgrade to Domino 8.5.1; 20+ hours to recover
18 Oct 2009 | 10:00 pmShort story: 8.5.1 upgrade was fast and easy but Windows Update killed my server. The long version: Saturday afternoon, I decided to upgrade one of my development servers from 7.04 to 8.5.1 today. I am pleased to say that as far as I can tell the upgrade was easy and fast. Once I backed up my data, it only took me about 10 minutes to install 8.5.1 and let the server do its thing at startup. I then restarted the Domino service and all appeared fine. How's that for a seamless upgrade? Sweet! The last step was to reboot the server to confirm that the Domino service would restart…

French Press + Fresh Beans = Bigger Crust, More Oil Transport, Tastier Coffee
21 Nov 2009 | 9:29 amThis morning, as I made myself a french press of Guatemala Antigua coffee, roasted 3 days ago, I thought I would take a picture of the french press as it brewed. This picture is taken about 30 seconds after pouring near-boiling water on top of coffee, ground just seconds before. From the picture, you can see that this mini, 3-cup french press has a very tall crust! You can see 3 layers here, a bottom layer of mostly liquid, a middle layer of water steeping with coffee grounds and a top layer of foam, bubbling as carbon dioxide is released from mixing with hot water. If you use stale coffee… -
Coffee News Roundup: Laptops to Blade Grinders
14 Nov 2009 | 5:46 pmHere are a few coffee articles I found interesting in the news and tweeted to my followers on Twitter this past week: Downtown coffee shop pulls plug on power-hungry patrons A big debate is brewing between coffee shop owners; should they continue offering free Internet access to patrons, knowing a few will stay for hours, occupying limited seating, without making a purchase? Or cut off access and hope customers still visit without the free Internet perk? I think there should be a time limit, with a code printed on a receipt… need more Internet time? Make another purchase. Happy medium. -
Flavored Coffee and Maintaining Quality
3 Oct 2009 | 8:53 pmFlavored Coffee and Maintaining Quality. Lots of people like to drink flavored coffee… I enjoy it occasionally, but whenever I get flavored coffee at the local coffee shop or someone’s house, it never seems to taste very good. Have you ever noticed how bitter and bland the brew usually tastes? It’s like a mixture of instant coffee with irish cream flavoring. Not very appealing and no pleasant aftertaste. It’s important to note that I’m referring to pre-flavored beans… coffee beans that have flavoring added to them as soon as they’re out of the roaster… -
Coffee News Roundup: Latte Art to Eco-Friendly Printers

A short explanation of what latte art is, including a video of a barista making lattes of zoo animals (pretty neat!). You likely won’t find baristas making latte art at your local retail coffee chain, but you may be surprised if you have an independent coffee house near you. Coffee mug-shaped cubicle is a cramped reminder of how much you hate your job This is a very interesting cubicle created by a Brazillian designer… it’s a… -
Do Light or Dark Roasts Have More Caffeine?
22 Aug 2009 | 6:33 pmDo light or dark roasts have more caffeine? Iwas recently asked by a Twitter follower “why does dark roast coffee have more caffeine?”. A lot of people believe that just because the beans were roasted dark and have a burnt taste, that means that the coffee is “stronger” and has more caffeine… but that isn’t exactly the case. The quick answer is that for the most part, lighter roasts actually have more caffeine than darker roasts. When coffee beans are roasted, the beans undergo a series of physical changes including growing in size, becoming lighter in…

ShopSavvy Prices and Locates Better Deals
20 Nov 2009 | 8:00 amAndroid/iPhone: ShopSavvy proved itself one of the most popular Android apps out of the gate, and it's easy to see why. Now on iPhones, the app lets you scan item barcodes, see who has it for less, and locate them. Beyond the simple price comparisons via barcode scanning, ShopSavvy saves a history of items you've looked at, and can send price alerts when items drop below the prices you've already seen and given a casual "Meh" to. It locates the stores nearby that have your items for less, and allows you to save items you've scanned to wish lists. In other words, it harnesses all the cool… -

While this particular how-to is built for an iPhone, the idea can be easily used (or adjusted) for any phone with a camera. For this project, you'll need a jar lid, a suction cup, and some old camera lenses—generally, if you're a camera buff, you may have some scrapped cameras around that you can steal these from.

Apple Adds Some Transparency to App Store Approvals
12 Nov 2009 | 9:00 amThere's been a lot of controversy surrounding Apple and their practice regarding the iPhone App Store, like multiple app bannings (including the Google Voice fiasco), inconsistent rules, and a lack of communication with developers. A few days ago, Apple decided to take a step in the right direction concerning the latter point (albeit a small step), giving developers the ability to see the status of their submitted apps. When they log into the Dev Center, they can see if their app is "in review," "waiting for review," or "ready for sale," complete with a timestamp for when that status was… -

Travel to Turin and Bologna (or eating our way through Italy) – Episode 208
21 Nov 2009 | 7:30 amThe Amateur Traveler talks to Ira Bernstein about two lesser visited cities in Italy – Turin and Bologna. Turin has the reputation as the Detroit of Italy because of its long association with Fiat but that nickname does not express the beauty of the city, the warmth of its people nor the quality of its wine. Bologna has a reputation for good food in a country known for its good food which may be one of the reasons that Bologna is known as “the fat”. The city is the home of bolognese sauce and lasagna. It also lays claim to one of the oldest if not the oldest university in… -

Both islands are less developed than their neighbors and better islands for relaxing on a beach than filling up your time with excursions from the activity vendors. Molokai is the one of the two that stole Pam’s heart away with a more authentic Hawaiian experience. Molokai might be best known for recently sainted Father Damien who worked with victims of Leprosy (Hansen’s Disease) on the island until he… -

The weekend however has arrived and I have some free time to do some work. Todays post will be about blocking adverts on websites while using Safari. I find that adverts on web pages are getting more an more annoying and some, inevitably, need to be removed from view. This plugin for Safari is very similar to one for Firefox, called Adblock Plus.

This little trick will enable any video to automatically play when you load it in the player. This is similar to VLC and enables you to sit back and relax rather than hitting play. This trick only works in Snow Leopard where the new app is found. To run this trick open Terminal. This is found in Applications > Utilities. In the… -

Stockholm Public Transportation: Bus and Metro explained
17 Nov 2009 | 9:10 amA train at Telefonplan Metro Station. Photo by harry_nl. By Marcus Cederstrom in Stockholm— Each day in Stockholm, 700,000 trips are made using public transportation. Considering only about 800,000 people live within Stockholm city limits, that number is pretty impressive. With the efficient and user-friendly SL, Stockholm’s public transportation company, it makes sense that so many Stockholmers take to the metro, buses, and more. The lowdown Stockholm is a very walk-able city, but if you’re less interested in wandering around than getting around efficiently (or if you just want to get… -

NaNoWriMo: A Pep Talk and a Warning
2 Nov 2009 | 9:20 amI honor any project to write something — especially to write a long piece of fiction. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do but, like most people, I have always been too scared to attempt it. So, kudos. But, here’s the thing: it’s hard to start writing, and it’s almost as hard to keep writing. Believe me, I know. And, there will be times every day when you get discouraged or you want to throw in the towel because you feel lost or depressed or useless or just plain tired. Empty. That’s the word. Empty. All I want to say is, keep at it. -

Consequently, it’s also about writing a book, fake self-help, the long road to developing expertise, and the ups and downs of repeatedly asking the world to tell you who you are. The video is long. As usual. This is how it works. I’d had this fancy idea that I’d do a DFW-style dump of annotations about what I talk about over these 40 minutes, and I might add that later, but for now here’s all you need to know: Dish soap… -

The talk is subtitled, “With All Due Respect to the Seduction Community”2, and it contains my typically NSFW use of, well, words, I guess.

Mud Rooms, Red Letters, and Real Priorities
28 Apr 2009 | 4:28 amThanks to my funny, literary pal, Jason B. Jones, today, I’m visiting lovely, warm Connecticut to do some talks and whatnot at CCSU. I mention it because I’d started typing this little post mid-way through the long eastbound flight that delivered me here from three fun (but very long) days doing a comedy thing with You Look Nice Today and Jordan, Jesse, Go! over on that other, top-left, edge of our nation. So, I was tired. Really tired. The kind of tired where your wallet hurts your butt, and coffee tastes weird, and you try super-hard to sleep, but – well –… -

10 Apr 2009 | 6:29 amThis unbelievably long article is related to (but not necessarily about) a discussion that I and several other people have been participating in online over the past few days. It’s about (and not about) the increasingly popular practice of re-publishing someone’s online work on another site without the attribution, formatting, and linking that many bloggers regard as standard, ethical, and fair. It’s admittedly a polemic (which is what people who think they’re clever call, “a rambling rant”), but what may seem to many to be a childish and ungrateful…

Should Personal Electronic Devices be Banned in the Cockpit?
20 Nov 2009 | 12:49 pmLawmakers are champing at the bit to introduce new legislation banning personal electronics in the cockpit after the two Northwest Airlines pilots revealed that they were working on their laptops when they overshot their destination last month. Reducing distractions for pilots seems like a no-brainer, but would these new laws actually hinder future safety advancements on planes? The Senate is currently considering a bill called the Distracted Flying Act, which would ban the use of personal wireless devices and laptops on the flight deck of commercial aircraft. Proponents of the bill have… -
Backpacking Central & Eastern Europe: Austria & Slovenia
20 Nov 2009 | 11:50 amA generation ago, young travelers hit the road with nothing more than a backpack, a few dollars and a Eurail pass to cover as many Western European countries as possible. But these days, that Eurail pass can take travelers far past the west-to-east borders, all the way to the Black Sea. Already jaded by her Western European experiences, Dara Bramson reports on her journey south and east as part of a new generation of intrepid backpackers. At first glance, Vienna is unmistakably beautiful and clean; akin to Washington, DC. But with the exception of indoor smoking and a few stunning monuments,… -
A Message from American Express: Pay Late, Lose Your Rewards
20 Nov 2009 | 11:21 amAirlines have become notorious for stringing travelers up like piñatas and beating them with frivolous fees. Now, American Express wants to take a swing. Starting January 1, the credit card company is enacting a new policy that could cost you the points or miles you earned with your card—if you don’t pay your bill on time. If you have an American Express card cobranded with Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, Hilton Hotels, and Starwood Hotels, rewards won’t be transferred to your loyalty account with those partners if you are late paying your bill. You can get those rewards back, but it will… -

14 Nov 2009 | 5:02 pmI have quite a few friends and family going through some changes right now and I was reminded of a post I wrote a while ago that I thought would be good to post again. As a leader in the church, sometimes change is one of the most challenging things for people to cope with especially volunteers. During some of my challenging change moments I have had people ask me how I remain so positive despite the rapid change around me. Here is my short list of things I try to do to stay positive: 1.

Are You Afraid To Let Go?
2 Nov 2009 | 8:39 pmA couple of years ago I remember taking my son to a birthday party, and it was at this party where he acquired one of his first addictions… BALLOONS! As we approached the park where the party was hosted his big brown eyes saw balloons of all colors tied to each picnic table in the pavilion. He had a smile from ear to ear and immediately ran to a paired set of red and blue balloons shouting, “Boom, boom!” because he couldn’t quite say balloon yet. Michael wasn’t strong enough to rip the strings from the table so he just stood there holding these two balloons tightly,… -
Five Reasons To Be In A Small Group For Life
24 Oct 2009 | 1:27 pmAt the Group Life Conference this year Andy Stanley shared five reasons that he will be in a small group for life. Here they are: 1. It’s the easiest place to invite un-churched people to, especially if they are not ready for the whole Sunday morning experience. 2. It’s often one of the only contexts for pastors or church staff to engage in ministry with their spouse. 3. It’s the only environment where you get to engage others on their spiritual journey, where they are at. You are often forced to connect with people that you would not normally connect with. We often are exposed to… -

It’s got a rotating carousel, Lifestream, and more. It uses a few plugins but are easy to configure. -
