Our drip coffee maker is in storage, and even if it weren’t it’s hard to make a single serving of coffee in one of those things. I think I’m the only person I know who uses a French press because it is more convenient. The quality of the coffee produced is pretty good too.

Parker has found quite a comfortable spot.
He’s lying on my arm & chest, as I am lying on the couch. Today’s picture is taken with the netbook’s webcam.
The problem is that I can’t get up to feed him — or me!

Blood oranges have more flavor than normal oranges, and are slightly startling to open if you’re not expecting that color inside. Their extra flavor is nice in a salad, particularly if you make the dressing with some zest and the juice from a few of the segments.

On a fairly regular basis people bring in food and put it in our lunch room. Not often, though, is it two entire boxes of donuts. These were courtesy of one of our sales guys.
Boston Kreme is, in my opinion, the One True Donut, though today I chose half a French Cruller.

We use MythTV to record all of our TV. One nice thing is that I can stream my TV shows to my desktop PC or even the laptop, meaning I don’t have to be at the TV in order to watch something. Tonight I was able to chat with people over IM and read my email while I watched This Old House.
