I’ve been using this AeroPress one cup system for over a year and half now and thanks to this step by step Stumptown tutorial I’m now getting the best cup of coffee out of it that I can. It’s a very inexpensive device that doesn’t take a lot of work to clean and maintain. It comes with a year supply (or more if you reuse them) of filters. Check it out if you’re looking for a simple one cup coffee solution.

Stumptown: How to prepare the perfect AeroPress at home

Things you’ll need/might want: Aeropress ($25)
Kyocera Hand Burr Grinder, Mr Coffee Electric Burr Grinder (I have this and it does the trick), Bodum Burr Grinder.
Bodum Mini Electric Water Kettle and maybe a scale but I think you could skip this and just do a level scoop for the Aeropress.

do this.

The audio on this isn’t great, but it’s kinda amazing to watch a young, extremely animated Meth in action.

Rap with some of this and some of that.

The minute that you understand that you can poke life and actually something will, you know if you push in, something will pop out the other side, that you can change it, you can mold it. That’s maybe the most important thing. It’s to shake off this erroneous notion that life is there and you’re just gonna live in it, versus embrace it, change it, improve it, make your mark upon it.

I think that’s very important and however you learn that, once you learn it, you’ll want to change life and make it better, cause it’s kind of messed up, in a lot of ways. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again. [via]

it took me about a week to read steve’s bio between my iPhone and iPad (both creations of his company, Apple).

it was an impulse buy at SFO when i found out there was no wi-fi on my cross-continental flight. what gripped me the most were the interesting historical context to the early days of anerican computing as well as stark business lessons (which we all know are, generally, correct).

i’m not going to say that he’s a genius. yes, he’s very smart. but, listen to this clip. he just figured something out and stuck to it. he refused to compromise how he wanted to live his life and the result is obvious.

it’s a real simple equation that doesn’t need grandiose aspirations. he led a fulfilling life and constantly chased his interests with this perspective. that’s all it takes. arguments for the “next steve jobs” are frivolous.

just have some guts and believe that you are here for a reason. if you do that, you’ll be okay.
