I wonder if this can turn fear at the sight of a shark’s dorsal fin into drooling.
We’ve had a lot of snow here in West Texas. Crazy weather. How is your weather?
Have a Great Weekend!

Where: FRANK - 407 Colorado, Austin, TX 78701 – (512-494-6916)
When: February 6th, 6pm-10pm
What: “Saturday Night Smackdown was inspired by our dear friends atOctane, those dedicated souls keepin coffee alive in the heart of the dirty south, Atlanta, GA. The idea is similar, to create an event for the surrounding coffee community to gather and share ideas, experiences, knowledge, and a whole lotta love.” – source
p.s. – “Instead of the one pour-three judges, winner is picked format SNS will now be done in a more fast paced and thrilling head to head style pour offs. Enter the Single Elimination Bracket System, a tournament style latte art throwdown wherein two baristas pour head to head and one winner is chosen to move to the next bracket unitl we reach the last top two baristas to see who walks away with the top honors.” – source

Podcast Coming Soon
I’ve been wanting to put together a podcast for Texas Coffee People for a long time, but haven’t really done much about it until recently.
The podcast is called “The Dose”, and should be ready within a week or two. You will be able to find it on iTunes as well.
I have no idea how often these podcasts will take place, but I’m hoping it will be monthly.
I’m also hoping to have the first one finished before the end of this month. If you have some news for us, we’d like to hear about it. Grand openings, events, promotions, sales, interesting people, interviews, and almost anything else that you could imagine taking place on a podcast: if you have any, we’d love to hear from you.
Random Picture Friday #22: Mug Mouse
Introducing: MugMouse. The most useless seemingly useful piece of office equipment in existence.
(via)
It’s a mug. It’s a laser mouse. It reduces productivity to a crawl and effectively keeps your fuel nearby.
Just don’t drop it on your keyboard.
Have a Great Weekend!
