Kenny’s Rules for the Savage

Signs like this aren’t rude- it helps to keep the riff raff and savages from pouring off the best stuff.

Besides, all you have to do is wait a while and once everyone’s tried everything then go to town with the bottles you liked.

I did a deep clean of my Rancilio Rocky yesterday in a weird moment of OCD where I was just going to do a light cleaning.

I started a light cleaning and got some Grindz ready… Next thing I knew it was hours later and there were parts everywhere.

But Rocky’s clean and ready for some fresh beans for 2012.

Although Kenny and Patrick had a ton of syrahs being poured for NYE, this was my fave. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it. Holus Bolus

Kenny and Patrick had this out at New Year’s – with another 15 or so Syrahs… was really nice

Kickstarter Project Delivered In Time For Chanukah!

Monkeyletric!Yay! My monkeylight just arrived! I helped fund the project on kickstarter a while back and it finally shipped. I <3 kickstarter.com.

I’ll mount the light on my wheel tomorrow and check it out on the mean streets. I’ll also try to get a pic posted or take a video somehow. An action-shot, if you will.

Here’s some background on the project: project page.

And here’s a great article on The Verve about Kickstarter and Product Development.

Hrm, I should re-check those other artist projects I helped fund back when I had a job and see how they’re coming along.
