cmaloney | Thankfully they ripped a hole in the wall for the area they're doing construction so we can hear it more clearly | 13:43 |
cmaloney | Sounds like the stomach of a giant robot | 13:43 |

mrgoodcat | anybody have an aeropress and/or french press? | 15:24 |
brousch | I have a french press | 15:26 |
brousch | I just got it 10 days ago | 15:26 |
mrgoodcat | ever used an aeropress? | 15:26 |
mrgoodcat | i'm trying to decide which to get | 15:26 |
brousch | I have not | 15:27 |
mrgoodcat | oh well | 15:27 |
mrgoodcat | will probably just go with a french press | 15:28 |
trevlar | mrgoodcat: I have an aeropress | 15:28 |
trevlar | I like it | 15:28 |
rick_h__ | moka pot ftw! :) | 15:29 |
rick_h__ | have a french press, the wife uses it but it's meh for coffee imo | 15:29 |
rick_h__ | I almost got an aeropress, but it seemed like I'd be stuck with custom filters and the like | 15:29 |
brousch | I love the coffee from my french press | 15:29 |
brousch | It has more substance than filtered coffee, but no grounds get through | 15:31 |
rick_h__ | moka pot | 15:31 |
rick_h__ | much better than the french press | 15:31 |
mrgoodcat | lol | 15:31 |
mrgoodcat | knew rick_h__ would have a strong opinion on the subject | 15:32 |
rick_h__ | :) | 15:32 |
rick_h__ | well I'm aeropress curious | 15:32 |
mrgoodcat | what don't you like about the press? | 15:32 |
mrgoodcat | most coffee lovers seem to love them | 15:33 |
rick_h__ | french press? | 15:34 |
rick_h__ | the taste of the coffee isn't as good | 15:34 |
brousch | I don't see what difference a moka pot would have compared to french press | 15:34 |
jrwren | french press: its better than drip | 15:34 |
rick_h__ | right, it's better than drip | 15:34 |
rick_h__ | but < moka pot | 15:34 |
rick_h__ | and I don't know about aeropress | 15:34 |
mrgoodcat | the advantage of press over drip as I see it is a more even steep. Drip gets super bitter and over extracts some while under extracting the rest | 15:35 |
brousch | The filter is also a problem | 15:37 |
mrgoodcat | paper filter extracts the oils? | 15:37 |
mrgoodcat | you don't have to use a paper filter in a drip maker | 15:37 |
brousch | moka pot looks more annoying to set up and clean | 15:38 |
mrgoodcat | i'm trying to figure out what the advantage of moka pot is | 15:38 |
brousch | It gives you extra hipster points | 15:39 |
mrgoodcat | seems to me a moka pot would brew at above-optimal temperatures | 15:41 |
mrgoodcat | e.g. bitterness | 15:41 |
widox | I <3 my french press | 15:42 |
widox | maybe rick_h__ wasn't using a proper grind ;) | 15:42 |
rick_h__ | :P | 15:42 |
rick_h__ | grind level 1 baby | 15:43 |
widox | I have heard from many folks that the aeropress is great - I actually just got one, haven't used it yet though | 15:43 |
widox | brews a bit stronger then other methods | 15:43 |
widox | its also super easy to clean | 15:44 |
widox | and, you can get metal filters instead of paper ones | 15:45 |
widox | though, it comes with a few paper ones | 15:45 |
mrgoodcat | where do detroit-area folks get their beans? | 15:46 |
mrgoodcat | my parents always sing the praises of TONX | 15:46 |
rick_h__ | every 2wk mail order peets | 15:46 |
widox | mrgoodcat: I started using Tonx recently. pretty good | 15:47 |
widox | otherwise, I like to buy eith Great Lakes or Germack beans | 15:47 |
mrgoodcat | i like the idea of tonx | 15:47 |
mrgoodcat | hassle free | 15:48 |
widox | yes. but you don't get a choice either | 15:48 |
mrgoodcat | yea... | 15:48 |
mrgoodcat | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 15:48 |
widox | but, the risk of some crap beans is low :) | 15:49 |
mrgoodcat | time to go to lunch | 15:50 |
trevlar | I like to get Great Lakes too | 16:07 |
trevlar | available at westborn and other grocery stores if you can't make it to the shop | 16:08 |
cmaloney | I must be a complete luddite because I just get the Meijer beans. :) | 17:06 |
brousch | cmaloney: You disgust me | 17:07 |
greg-g | I get grocery store beans too | 17:07 |
cmaloney | Splurged on Zingermans beans last time we were at Meijer | 17:07 |
cmaloney | Though I don't get the "fill your own bag" beans. They're pre-sealed. | 17:07 |
greg-g | I don't feel like paying $15 for 12 ounces when I can get beans for $9.99/lb | 17:07 |
cmaloney | But they're not bad. | 17:07 |
cmaloney | I tend to drink things dark roasted anyway so bitterness is not a huhge factor for me. | 17:07 |
jrwren | cmaloney: the meijer organic beans aren't bad at all | 17:08 |
* greg-g is a light-medium roast kind of guy | 17:08 | |
cmaloney | Ow. My foot just hurt pretty hard. | 17:09 |
cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: Do you receive my Dragon Go Server invites? | 17:20 |
ColonelPanic001 | hm. Did I install that on the new phone | 17:21 |
ColonelPanic001 | I may just be dumb, hang on | 17:22 |
ColonelPanic001 | I didn't before though, had to go to the site to accept them | 17:22 |
cmaloney | Ah, OK | 17:22 |
brousch | I want to learn Go | 17:25 |
ColonelPanic001 | play go | 17:26 |
cmaloney | brousch: Want book recommendations? | 17:26 |
cmaloney | Also, play lots off go | 17:26 |
brousch | I don't know any Gonads | 17:27 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: woot light/medium, more caffiene | 17:27 |
brousch | I assume that's what you call yourselves | 17:27 |
ColonelPanic001 | it is now | 17:27 |
cmaloney | we prefer Weiquinads | 17:27 |
ColonelPanic001 | I don't. | 17:27 |
cmaloney | ;) | 17:27 |
greg-g | rick_h__: and taste, I like the taste better :) | 17:27 |
* ColonelPanic001 is a gonad | 17:27 | |
rick_h__ | greg-g: +1 | 17:28 |
greg-g | rick_h__: as in, it has taste other than "burnt" ;) | 17:28 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: I'm a picky meduium roastser guy. Peets domnico ftw | 17:28 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: exactly! | 17:28 |
greg-g | :) | 17:28 |
ColonelPanic001 | I have some maxwell house at home | 17:28 |
ColonelPanic001 | nothing but the best decaf for me | 17:28 |
greg-g | good to the last drop | 17:28 |
brousch | French Roast. The burn covers the taste of sadness from decaf | 17:29 |
cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: please report to the town center where we can burn the heretic | 17:29 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: http://www.peets.com/coffee/by-roast/coffee-shop-by-category-medium-roast/cafe-domingo-wholebean-each.html is what I get every 2wk ftw | 17:29 |
bookiebot | http://goo.gl/eN3s85 - Café Domingo® | Peet's Coffee & Tea | 17:29 |
rick_h__ | domingo not domnico :/ | 17:29 |
ColonelPanic001 | or just send me coffee. I don't drink it enough to justify bothering with good stuff like I do with tea | 17:29 |
ColonelPanic001 | too much caffeine | 17:29 |
cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: please report to the town center where we can draw, quarter, and then burn the heretic | 17:29 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: <3 the camping pics | 17:30 |
greg-g | rick_h__: :) it was fun | 17:32 |
mrgoodcat | sudo reboot | 17:32 |
greg-g | first time with a camp stove since boy scouts | 17:32 |
mrgoodcat | gah ignore that | 17:32 |
rick_h__ | lol | 17:32 |
ColonelPanic001 | [sudo] password for mrgoodcat: | 17:32 |
* ColonelPanic001 crosses fingers | 17:32 | |
rick_h__ | greg-g: looked awesome, water, nice spot there. | 17:32 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: the little man looked like he was having a blast | 17:33 |
greg-g | yeah, a secret spot :) | 17:33 |
greg-g | he did, he LOVES the woods | 17:33 |
greg-g | still scared of water a bit, but working on that | 17:33 |
rick_h__ | glad to see you're not letting the beard go to waste lol | 17:33 |
greg-g | haha, nope | 17:33 |
rick_h__ | yea, we started swim classes at 6mo because we wanted to try to bypass the water fear | 17:33 |
greg-g | unfortunately, I'm also growing a belly to go with it, need to work on that | 17:33 |
rick_h__ | camping is good for that :) lots of steps | 17:33 |
greg-g | :) | 17:34 |
rick_h__ | though we went to a county campground and there was an ice cream truck that came by. First time the boy got to do that | 17:35 |
rick_h__ | he came running back from his mom waving it in his hand "daddy daddy look what I got!!!" | 17:35 |
mrgoodcat | no ice cream trucks in my neighborhood at home... | 17:35 |
greg-g | rick_h__: wow | 17:36 |
mrgoodcat | neighborhood assoc. decided not to allow them | 17:36 |
greg-g | yeah, no ice cream trucks at this campsite | 17:36 |
rick_h__ | yea, the county part is much more of a camper/trailer thing. Lots of tent sites/etc but has a lot of trails, boat rentals, a kids activity schedule every weekend | 17:36 |
rick_h__ | arts and hay rides/etc | 17:36 |
rick_h__ | so it's a bit bigger/etc than your normal woods campsite | 17:36 |
greg-g | it's 12 miles up a road up the mountainside along a creek, dead ends at a trailhead. A mile before the trailhead is a campground with ~6ish sites. No water spigot, just vault toliets and two bear proof trash cans. | 17:37 |
rick_h__ | but was funny, "we're camping, why is there an ice cream truck going by?" | 17:37 |
jrwren | i wish we had ice cream trucks here. if we did, I'd not be able to hear it over my own music. | 17:37 |
rick_h__ | so you hiked in the tent/stove/etc? | 17:37 |
rick_h__ | nice | 17:37 |
greg-g | so, the only people who stay at this site either A) are just sleeping one night before they start out on a backpacking trip or B) have been told about it by friends as 'that place that is perfect, no resrevations ever, even foruth of july, and did I say it's pefect?" | 17:38 |
greg-g | oh, no, only hiked the stuff 50ft-ish, the site is one mile before the trailhead, along the road | 17:38 |
rick_h__ | oh before it | 17:38 |
greg-g | yeah | 17:38 |
cmaloney | Y'know, I'm starting to sour on these Leopold keyboards. | 17:39 |
rick_h__ | did I tell you we switched up our plans out there | 17:39 |
cmaloney | Having an issue with the f key | 17:39 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: we're going to do yosemite vs wine country | 17:40 |
rick_h__ | cmaloney: time to go filco, keyboard level += 1 | 17:40 |
cmaloney | Yeah, I'm starting to think so as well | 17:40 |
cmaloney | Though the CODE keyboard piqued my interest. | 17:40 |
greg-g | rick_h__: whoa! nice! | 17:41 |
cmaloney | We'll see. If this thing starts misbehaving again then I'll be making an order | 17:41 |
greg-g | rick_h__: where are you staying? in the park or a hotel outside? | 17:41 |
mrgoodcat | backpacking++ | 17:41 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: cabin outside | 17:41 |
mrgoodcat | greg-g: what trail? | 17:41 |
cmaloney | though obviously not from this keyboard should the F key go wonky. :) | 17:41 |
greg-g | cool! | 17:41 |
rick_h__ | mrgoodcat: no, we're going to be in SFO with family and have luggage/etc | 17:41 |
greg-g | mrgoodcat: California Trinity-Shasta National Forest | 17:41 |
rick_h__ | so just day hikes, but I'll be bringing the tripid and camer gear | 17:41 |
mrgoodcat | ah. thats a bit far for me | 17:42 |
greg-g | I'm not giving direct directions, I need to keep this place semi-secret :) | 17:42 |
rick_h__ | mrgoodcat: hoists lakes and the manistee river trail/northern country trail loop are nice around here | 17:42 |
rick_h__ | lol | 17:42 |
mrgoodcat | i like killarney provincial park in canada | 17:42 |
rick_h__ | though we've not backpacked since the boy was born | 17:42 |
mrgoodcat | i've done some of the app. trail too though and it was amazing | 17:43 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: but yea, doing a really good family friendly wine country thing was getting to be too pita, so big parks it is then! | 17:43 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: not like we're out that way that often to see it anyway | 17:43 |
greg-g | yeah, backpacking turned to car camping on Dec 11, 2012 :) | 17:43 |
rick_h__ | lol | 17:43 |
greg-g | we tried one night of backpacking with a 6 month old, it worked, but yeah, only one night :) | 17:44 |
greg-g | the next day we went a bought a coleman tent and air mattress :) | 17:44 |
mrgoodcat | wow that sounds painful | 17:44 |
greg-g | it wasn't too bad, he was mostly in "happy to be carried in a carrier" mode | 17:44 |
greg-g | but, making camp/dinner/setup stuff was tough | 17:45 |
rick_h__ | hah, yea we did tent camping but he'd get up at 4:30am most trips | 17:45 |
rick_h__ | and moved over to trailer "camping" | 17:45 |
greg-g | :) | 17:45 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: see my eagles nest pics from our trip the 4th? | 17:46 |
greg-g | no! | 17:46 |

rick_h__ | greg-g: there's one chick in the nest and another up to the left on a branch | 17:47 |
greg-g | cool | 17:47 |
rick_h__ | yea, was hoping to get mom or dad around but no luck | 17:47 |
rick_h__ | 550mm range to get that shot, needed a boat to get closer heh | 17:48 |
mrgoodcat | rick_h__: what camera? | 17:48 |
rick_h__ | mrgoodcat: my gx7 | 17:48 |

greg-g | kids on summer vaction in coffee shop drinking their latte's through a straw | 18:06 |
rick_h__ | lol | 18:06 |
mrgoodcat | heh | 18:06 |
cmaloney | And to think we had to beg our parents for coffee-milk | 18:14 |
cmaloney | Didn't even know how to order it | 18:15 |
greg-g | spoiled kids too, you should see their table, it's disgusting | 18:15 |
greg-g | half-finished pastries, crumbs everywhere | 18:15 |
mrgoodcat | my dog would love them | 18:15 |
cmaloney | Hate that | 18:17 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: wife sent this to me the other day http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052970204740904577196931457473816?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052970204740904577196931457473816.html | 18:17 |

rick_h__ | wsj hates me | 18:17 |
cmaloney | Also: FUck Microsoft Activation | 18:17 |
rick_h__ | lol | 18:18 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: well shared with you on G+ and hopefully loads | 18:18 |
greg-g | yeah, that loaded fine | 18:18 |
cmaloney | Had to do a repair on MS Office because it couldn't activate properly. | 18:18 |
greg-g | I remember there being a book recently about that, an american mom who moved to france and how she changed her parenting etc | 18:19 |
cmaloney | Installed Libreoffice in the interim because it doesn't care how you use it, just how you distribute it. | 18:19 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: yea, not usually up to the bait of that stuff | 18:19 |
cmaloney | If it's in the WSJ it's likely because someone is promoting said book. | 18:19 |
greg-g | ah, yeah, rick_h__, that's an excerpt/adaptation of the book I was thining of | 18:19 |
cmaloney | ++ | 18:19 |
rick_h__ | greg-g: ah interesting | 18:19 |
greg-g | wait, no | 18:19 |
rick_h__ | cmaloney: gets the medal! | 18:19 |
greg-g | no, unwait, yes | 18:20 |
greg-g | it said "to be published on tuesday" so i was confused, until i saw the publication date of the article | 18:20 |
rick_h__ | anyway, I think we as parents sometimes do like to compare against others and yet know/feel like we shouldn't | 18:20 |
cmaloney | Seriously, the only time a news-source prints a "blinding flash of the obvious" it's because someone is promoting something | 18:20 |
cmaloney | Wonder at what point all of the news will be sponsored by something | 18:21 |
cmaloney | "12 car-pileup in Downtown Happytown reported. In his latest book 'how to keep from crashing' Dr. Wanker described the common causes of 12 car pileups" | 18:22 |
cmaloney | "1) Losing focus on the focus of driving" | 18:22 |
cmaloney | "2) Rapture. Though this isn't as common as #1." | 18:23 |
greg-g | I pray ever day for the rapture | 18:24 |
greg-g | not for the same reasons others do | 18:24 |
cmaloney | "Calgon, take them away" | 18:25 |
greg-g | :) | 18:25 |
jrwren | rapture palooza was a terrible movie. | 18:34 |
rick_h__ | lol | 18:34 |
jrwren | looks like she did a 2013 followup: Bébé day by day : 100 keys to French parenting | 18:47 |
