I just got my Verizon FIOS Internet and Cable.
I went to speedtest.net and ran a test.
That’s 15,489 kb/s down and 13,601 kb/s up. I did test with my MacBook Pro over WiFi connect to the Verizon wireless G router. I should be getting 15 kb/s up, I’ll have to test this with a wired connection later.
I’ll blog about my experience with it more later.
So I’m sitting here waiting for the Verizon guy to come and install my FIOS Internet and TV. So I need to make a list of what shows I have set to record on my old DVR. Please note, many of these shows are my girlfriends!
No matter what brand of coffee you buy or how you brew it. The way you grind it has a lot to do with the quality of coffee that you’re gonna get.
About two years ago I started to really get into drinking good coffee. I was thinking about getting a nice espresso machine, however good ones start at about $600-$800. I read too many reviews about lesser machines and one of the most common things that I heard from all of that was that all of these cheaper machines wouldn’t last very long. So I started looking at grinders and this one made by KitchenAid was said to be the best. I figured I could at least start with a good grinder that would last a long time.
This thing weighs 10 freaking pounds, it’s bad-ass. And it grinds coffee so perfectly!
I soon got into making coffee with a french press. And that is by far my most favorite way to brew coffee. It’s also the easiest to clean up. And it’s the cheapest thing you can get to brew coffee; usually about $20 for a Bodum brand french press.
The most important thing about making coffee with a french press is that you have to get a course grind. This means that the ground coffee needs to have larger chunks than a what a drip coffee maker would require. I’ve seen this is what really seperates a $60 burr grinder and this $300 grinder. If you do not get a large enough grind, the coffee will come out tasting really bitter and quite nasty.
Well my coffee is ready, so i’ll go get to drinking that. Have a good morning.
This aired on the ONN a few weeks ago, but I just caught it. Hilarious!

Dr. Steve Brule is enjoying some Sweet Berry Wine
- I first saw this off of an email that Pat sent out trying to convince other people to go to the wine festival coming up.
And this is what happens if you enjoy a little too much Sweet Berry Wine!
For your health!
This is a really good idea.
