acme coffee challenge... or something like that

I agree with Mike: when trying to imitate a cartoon it makes perfect sense to use the Internet, and more specifically Wikipedia, as a source of rock-solid facts to prove that nothing can possibly go wrong.

Next up: I demonstrate the feasibility of this approach with my newly acquired Acme(TM) Rocketsled. Wish me luck!

PS: I was in fact in awe of Mike's goal for a while, for sheer bravery if not originality. I thought: I may consume copious amounts of coffee, but 100 cups in a day! Ah, pure genius. "I will stay alert to Mike turning into a blur and report accordingly if it happens" I said to myself. Then I realized he planned to drink 100 cups over 48 hours. Treachery! I sweat coffee at that rate. I eat entire coffee plants for breakfast! Bah!

PS2: Yes. I am kidding. I don't eat coffee plants for breakfast.

PS3: Although... the general tone of this post is making me reconsider how much coffee, in fact I am ingesting. Needless to say, it's all Mike's fault.

happy new year!

Hey, better late than never no? :)

I got back a couple of days ago from a 5-day visit to Victoria, BC (Canada). This was more than a visit, in fact it was an actual vacation (gasp!) involving almost no use of computers and barely checking any email (twice in a week!). Quite amazing actually.

I made the decision a few days ago to start blogging again. 2005 was a year were blogging proceeded in fits and starts, and the year just flew by, what with all the moves across continents and such.

So here we are. Have a great 2006 everyone!
