coffee... for buzz?

i suppose its fitting to follow yesterday's entry with a photo of my other favorite beverage. funny how they look so much alike. coptix recently received a 48 ounce bodum french press as a gift. we were beginning to make 3 or 4 presses a day with the old 32 ouncer. thankfully now we're down to a, well, manageable 2 to 3 a day. but, as i mentioned before, apparently coffee is now good for you, and the more the better.

from the "apple, here's my wallet" department: the new york times reviews a bunch of the iPod competitors today, and "The iPod is still smaller, more attractive and more thoughtfully designed than any of the upstarts." not that this comes as any surprise though. apple continues to do a stunningly good job of designing their products, and an even better job of marketing them. granted, i'm a sucker for a cool gadget, but ever since my brother tim got one for christmas i've had an insufferable case of iPod-envy. and you know, as soon as i can get my iBook paid off, i think i'm gonna buy one...
