The complete oral history of TiVo and TiVo's core problem
A couple weeks ago, I did an hour long interview with the writer of "The Definitive Oral History of TiVo" and he used a few quotes of mine in the storytelling. It's a very good and long read, and one... Continue reading

Recovery gear and the fact that maxtrax fit!
Image
Recovery gear is a great thing to have around. You never know when and how you will get stuck, so it's important to be prepared. I figured I'd mention all the stuff I keep in my Ridgeline's trunk in the hopes of never being trapped when I'm off the grid.... Continue reading

Driving modes in the Ridgeline
There's a set of drive modes in the new Ridgeline and so far I've only used two of them. The Snow mode definitely cuts down on spinning out and gets you up to speed more safely. I tried my hardest in two feet of snow to spin tires and Snow... Continue reading

Truxxx leveling/lift kit, new wheels/tires, plus skid plates
Image
Big day today as I finally installed the Truxxx 1.5" leveling kit that lifts the front a couple inches to match the height of the rear suspension. Once the lift kit was in place, I threw on a new set of 18" KMC XD wheels with Yokohama 265/60/18 tires. They're... Continue reading

Playing on the beach with a drone and my Ridgeline
Me and a friend tested out some drone follow shots while driving around (and around) on the Oregon coast. I was surprised at how well the truck drove in the sand. Can't wait to do this all again. Continue reading

January 31: Mocha
Image
The final drink! I was counting the days since mid-month and was happy to finally make it to the end. Though this mocha looked nice, it had a bitter and burnt flavor. The final aspect of this experiment is seeing how "addicted" I became to these drinks. I'm going to... Continue reading

January 30: Iced Caramel Macchiato
Image
While at Starbucks, I tried my first foray into something iced, so I tried something that sounded like a joke name for a beverage if you were making fun of someone buying something at Starbucks. Being cold meant it wasn't too bitter, but it was mostly sweetened milk, so it... Continue reading

January 29: Pourover dark roast coffee
Image
I attempted to drink something more like straight up coffee, and so my wife made a nice pourover cup with a fancy filter and some dark roast beans. I took one sip and could not believe how atrociously bitter it tasted. I couldn't take more than two drinks of it,... Continue reading

January 28: Mocha
Image
While out on a long cold bike ride with friends, we made a stop at a coffee shop for some snacks and caffeine 25 miles into a 45 mile ride. I was so cold from the barely-above-freezing temps ride that I barely remember how this tasted as it was more... Continue reading

January 27: Latte

I tried a fancy coffee place again, this time for a Latte to see what it'd be like. It was fairly dark and a bit bitter, but got mellow as it cooled. Continue reading

January 26: Kicker
Image
This is a local chain's specialty drink, which is a mocha with irish cream added. I wasn't a big fan, it was mostly sweet with a weird twist from the Bailey's type flavor up against bitter burnt coffee taste. Continue reading

January 25: Mocha

Decided to give a shop another chance, and grabbed a different drink this time. Like many others, this was really bitter and awful tasting at first, though the coffee did mellow over a few minutes of cooling down. Continue reading

January 24: White Chocolate Mocha
Image
I tried a new-to-me drive-through coffee shack, and chose one of their specials. It was a terrible mix of too sweet of flavors with too bitter and burnt coffee flavor, so basically, dreck. Continue reading

January 23: Mocha

I went to the fanciest coffee place in town to finally give them a try. The mocha served up here was extremely well done, no hint of bitterness, just a nice mix of coffee and chocolate flavors in a really smooth way. Continue reading

Jan 22: Vanilla Latte

This was maybe a tad too sweet, but easy to drink down fast before a long bike ride in the cold. Continue reading

Bitter, burnt, not good. Drank this late in the day and had trouble going to sleep later that night. Continue reading

January 20: Latte

Tried a new coffee place near my gym after a workout. Fairly burnt and bitter. I guess the three generations in every cup were actual dead people, which is what it tasted like. Continue reading

January 19: Shitty diner black coffee

Went out for a relaxing big breakfast and all they had was regular coffee. Bitter, burnt, and eventually forced down. Again, I can't wait until this is over. Continue reading

January 18: Mocha
Image
Today's experiment was that I forgot to drink something around breakfast and again at lunch, so I ended up getting this drink after 4pm. Of course, that meant I was fairly wide awake until 1AM, about an hour or two after a normal bedtime for me. Caffeine is a hell... Continue reading

January 17: Mocha
Image
Decided to try a simple mocha from Starbucks today. Basically tasted like hot chocolate with a small bitter coffee aftertaste. I can't tell if this meant the espresso was prepared correctly or I'm getting used to the flavor but this was the least offensive drink in the past week. I... Continue reading

January 16: Latte Macchiato
Image
Decided to try something different at Starbucks today. A macchiato is technically a stronger espresso drink with less foamed milk than a standard latte. I didn't know this going in, but it did taste a bit stronger and more bitter than a standard latte from Starbucks. The awful taste mellowed... Continue reading

January 15: Espresso
Image
I finally decided to give a shot of plain black espresso a try. My wife said this wasn't her best work, but it was basically undrinkable. The flavor was so bitter and extreme I couldn't handle more than a single gulp. Basically it tasted like poison. I'll give espresso another... Continue reading
