Stumptown Coming to Seattle!
Removing Grounds During Cupping (BW) Originally uploaded by Jeff Carlson. Portland’s best coffee roaster looks to be opening a shop in Seattle, according to Seattle Weekly. A few days ago I learned (and tasted) that Cafe Verité in Ballard is using Stumptown beans. I also see from the Weekly that Victrola’s second store ...

Travel Coffee
I spent the weekend at my mom’s farm in California, visiting family and friends and getting ready to hit Macworld Expo for the rest of this week. I’ve spent most of my non-socializing time working on the presentations I’m giving, which means I’ve been up late working…and drinking coffee. Understand that the coffee situation here ...

New Sony HDV Camcorders
I figure I may as well blog before I get sucked into the insanity of Macworld on Tuesday. (I’m also preparing for my presentations, which is what has me tied to my computer.) The folks at Engadget and Gizmodo are working overtime to report from CES. Now, we learn that Sony is going to release ...

New Panasonic Camcorders
With CES just about to get into full gear, Panasonic has announced new camcorder lineups—specifically a bunch of 3-CCD models (i.e., camcorders that record to three image sensors, not just one). My pal Ags writes up the details at Amazon’s tech blog.

New Canon Camcorders Announced
My family pitched in to buy a camcorder for my sister, and sure enough, the Canon ZR500 that we got is about to be replaced. Canon is kicking off CES with updates to its ZR series, replacing the 500, 600, and 700 with an 800, 830, and 850. It’s also updating it line of DVD-based ...

iLife 07 and iWork 07 Existence Leaked
Amazon.com has posted placeholders for iLife ’07 and iWork ’07 in advance of Macworld Expo, although there are no other details about the products themselves. On one hand, this doesn’t surprise me because an update of iLife is pretty much expected now that Apple has christened the suite with a year name (Apple isn’t foolish ...

Adobe Premiere Coming Back to Mac

Coffee Gear of the Future
Lore Sjöberg at Wired.com muses on what coffee gear will look like in a few year’s time: “All Hail the Mighty Coffee Bean!” Step Two: Storage All coffee lovers know that coffee grounds turn into the very dandruff of the Dark Lord himself if you leave them out for more than 145 seconds. Clearly I’ll ...

‘Eat at Bill’s’ by Lisa Brenneis
In 2003, I edited Lisa Brenneis’s Final Cut Express for Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide, which thrust me into the world of digital video editing beyond iMovie. Lisa, of course, is better known for her Final Cut Pro VQS, and knows both programs inside and out. Back then, she mentioned a documentary project she ...

Macworld Expo Coming Up
The champagne cork from New Year’s Eve hasn’t even fully dried out, and already it’s time for the main event in the Mac universe: Macworld Expo next week, January 9-12. The big question on my mind, of course, is whether Steve Jobs will announce iLife ’07, which has of late become tradition. Updating the iLife ...
