Coffee shop etiquette

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 16:48:47 GMT

Here I am sitting at a coffee house in First Hill and beside the most annoying man on earth.

Reason #1: Loud talker

Does he really need to talk on his cell phone for 15 mins at a time at full volume? I really, really don’t need to know that you ordered a bicycle for your kid nor any details on why your order from Omaha Steaks is delayed.

Open your snack hole

Last weekend, I was driving through the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle and noticed a crazy billboard with the slogan “Open your snack hole” and almost veered off the road.

Questions you should never ask about Canada

Fri, 10 Feb 2006 19:28:30 GMT

Being Canadian, I am continually shocked at the kind of questions i get asked or statements I read in the press about Canada. Britney Spears has a famous quote where, when asked about the perks of being famous, she replied “I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada”. woah, go Britney!

When the announcement came down about the 2010 Winter Olympics to be held in Vancouver, the Tourism Vancouver website got swamped with questions, and here is a sampling of them, with their country of origin, and with some smartass replies from an unnamed source within the tourism office. Thanks to Cem (and others) for sending me this

7 weird things you can do on the internet

Thu, 15 Dec 2005 10:06:12 GMT

Here’s a list of 7 random things that you probably didn’t know you could do on the internet:

1. See what a website looked like 10 years ago!

Check out the Way Back Internet machine, which is a website that has archived tons of pages, dating back to 1996. For example:

- Google in 1998

- MSN in 2000 (which i think looks better than it does today)

- Sun in 1996

- Marthastewart.com in 1998 (not really “a good thing”)

Ode to my sweetheart

Sat, 03 Dec 2005 02:49:36 GMT

Oh how I love thee

Every morning I wake up to your beautiful aura

and you get my day started off with a rush

Your tantilizing heat, aroma and sweetness almost make me blush

Oh coffee, what would I do without you?

As you can tell from my really bad poetry above, I really love coffee and could be a borderline addict. Days that start off with a great cup of coffee are always the best! That’s the bonus of living in Seattle, since there are so many great coffee shops around, either chains like Starbucks and Tully’s or local independants. I heard some crazy fact that Seattle has the most coffee shops per square mile than any other city in the US. While I haven’t verified this, if you just walk around Seattle,
