I and a friend of mine just launched a new side project called Perk-O-Late. I was so pleased with the layout of this blog that I used a similar approach for Perk-O-Late.
Anyway, it should be great fun, coffee news, experiments in home roasting and various other coffee-related bits. We’ll likely be giving away the fruits of our home roasting, so stay tuned!

Technabob pointed to Phillipe Starck’s latest, cantilevered watch design the other day. As usual, the design is brilliantly minimal while still innovative. Gizmodo picked up the news/photo and then added, “their innards are cheap as a dime store windup toy.” Unlike Gizmodo, I got my hands on my own cantilevered Starck yesterday and the build quality is fantastic. Take a look:

I’m not sure where they got their information, but the “innards” are the same (high-) quality movements of any other Starck/Fossil licensed brand watch. Definitely not cheap.
