The History of Coffee

I'm pleased to be quoted in this very well-written overview of coffee.

This is another of my self-serving posts, but perhaps I'll be forgiven. This is the new blog for a program we have been running this school year. We have brought EarthView -- a giant, inflatable globe -- to about 8,000 students so far. The purpose is to promote geographic education. The blog is a response to the many questions students ask during our programs, and that we cannot get to.

This is a useful way to visualize our water footprints. Contrary to the reactions some stumbers have posted, it is more informative than preachy. And for those who are wondering, yes, the growing of crops is included (for example in coffee, beer, and beef calculations). The totals do not discriminate between consumptive and non-consumptive uses, or identify the impact on water quality of various choices (e.g., organic versus conventional coffee). But it is useful to view the relative scale of water use for different activities, side-by-side.

The Heatstick company has some very intriguing products. I look forward to trying out a couple of them. I thought the wearable hummingbird feeder was a joke, but it is real -- have a look at the video!

I agree with the Stumbler who wrote that the Kandle Heeter is not terribly efficient, but I plan to try one anyway as an enjoyable heat supplement.

A simple page -- handy reference to the heat of peppers.

My Year of Reading "Year of" Books

A librarian read a few books by people who devoted a year to a particular task or idea. She found so many that she decided to spend a year reading such books. That year is 2009, and she is blogging the experience.

Great contribution to coffee literacy. If you have ever been panicked in a coffee shop, trying to decipher the menu while people behind you in line want their coffee, use this primer.

My own blog --- Stumblers be the judge.

Dr. Hayesbohs collections on Flickr

Again, my own site here. The main improvent, though, is the collections/mosaic layout that Flickr now makes available. I am making this my main Flickr screen, since it readily points users to my photos by group. Includes photos from Brazil, Nicaragua, Cuba, and other places I've enjoyed.

Geography of Coffee

Stumblers: I hope you don't mind, but this is my own page. I kind of like it. Please have a look. The purpose is to help people understand all the people and places involved in providing us coffee.
