Have you ever been to a hotel/venue where they have the Starbucks logo and state "We proudly brew Starbucks coffee"? I am no longer fooled by such signs. I think the coffee brewed at places like that taste more like chicken than they do like Starbucks.

One thing my brother-in-law taught me about the food business is that consistency is important. Drinking coffee at places with these "proudly brewed" signs is like throwing darts at the wall (or more accurately, them throwing darts at me). You *never* know what you get.

While it may sound like I am ranting, I really am not. It would be much, much worse if they did not brew it at all!

I am pretty bummed at the blog that Valerie posted on caffiene. It sure explain a lot to me. I'm always tired, can't focus and get headaches if I don't get my coffee. But I think they forgot forgetful (ironically), nostalgic, allergy-prone and blog prone.

I have arrived at my destination safely and have a room that is about 2-times the size of a walk-in closet. Actually, it not the size of the room that matters but how you use it. Good thing it doesn't take much space to contemplate how to create a light-weight plug-in framework for the Solaris 10 Container demo.

Let's see if the Java Studio 7 Enterprise UML support will help me get something in place.
