8 Tips For Feeling Awake Without Caffeine
After reading Richard's article about latte art this morning, I started thinking about lattes. What exactly is a latte? I know I've never had a latte.

Have Fun: Draw And Doodle On This Coffee Mug With Chalk
Do you like scribbling? I remember as a kid I would take chalk and write on the sidewalk or take colored chalk and write on the walls.

Used Tea Bag Art – What a Beautiful Way to Recycle
I love both coffee and hot tea. To me, coffee is less maintenance though. You just pour it in a mug, add a little cream and go. Tea, on the other hand, takes more patience. You have to stand there while it steeps and then deal with the drippy messy tea bag when you take it out.
What do you do ...

Americano vs Au lait
I live in a city where 'grabbing a coffee' is more than a treat or a daily habit. Its a lifestyle. Your drink speaks more than 140 characters about who you are and the result can easily be the cause for a new facebook fan club. A recent observation by Debbie Mandel, a stress management specialist, r ...
Ratchet & Clank – Gadget Geek #1
I am a HUGE Ratchet & Clank fan. I bought a Playstation 2 just because of it as it only exists on that console (sucks). I lived in Los Angeles, California at the time and I used to drop by Starbucks in the morning, grab a coffee and then went home to kick some royal twerp butt before I started w ...
