Impress That Coffee Fiend

Culture No Comments

She loves coffee, you’re more of a tea kind of dude. A date at her neighborhood Starbucks is out of the question, but don’t worry, we’re here for you. Introducing GoCoffeeGo, a San Francisco-based company with an expansive online catalog of coffees for more refined tastes.

Its founders Scott Pritikin and Elise Papazian are self-proclaimed coffee junkies themselves:

There is no bean we shall not grind, no coffee we shall not try. We must gulp and slurp them all! We are coffee adventurers. We sought to expand our “cup” and fill our Espresso machines, French Presses, Pour-Overs, Vacuum Pots, Moccamasters and yes… even a vintage Mr. Coffee machine with the ultimate beans from Super-Star Specialty Roasters throughout the country, who are known in their local communities as the “gods and goddesses” of coffee. Whether you live in a luxury Penthouse in a metropolitan city or a shack in the backwoods, you deserve access to great coffee.

You don’t know jack about coffee, but that’s not a problem. The site offers award winners and members’ picks. You can now see further, standing on the shoulders of giants.

All you really need to ask her is “light, medium or dark roast?” Then, upon receiving your order the next business day, just saunter up to her, pull out the coffee and ask, “your place, 6:00PM?” No self-avowed coffee fiend will be able to resist you. And you’ll have already have made it back to her place without even trying–sweet!

If you’re really studious, you can read the section dedicated to the history of coffee and their tips for making a killer cup.

You’re welcome.

The Story of a Disappearing Critique on Google+

Whatever your views may be when it comes to flesh on social networks, you have to agree that a process that doesn’t notify users of actions being taken by a social network with regard to their content is one that breeds insecurity and doubt. How can we feel that Google+ is an extension of our homes when we can’t be sure that we’re allowed to voice our opinions? This situation is grave indeed.

The Sad Ballad of Halloween

Halloween is an artifact that has existed far longer than this country, under various names and in many guises over time. It’s a weird, twisted survivor that survives by absorbing the qualities of the culture in prominence where the day is celebrated. These days, people shake their heads when they think about Halloween — how could a kid’s dress-up holiday have become so grossly sexualized?
