Yeah, the machine and the coffee it makes are sometimes called the same thing. Its basically a stove top espresso maker. And if you forget the little screen and its ring seal... man that frigging sucks, let me tell you. Coffee all over the walls is not fun to clean up.

Speaking of which, does anyone know what real moka is? I am about to make some. There is no chocolate in it!

Yeah, I only learned that after meeting my wife, who is Italian. Over here it is still widely drunk. I can't stand it personally... The smart farmers start producing coca. Heck Argentina might even legalize coca, not cocaine, and don't anyone even try to say its the same. Anyways, the current...

I will lay out my intent of the bat, so I don't rope you in deceivingly. I feel that freedom of religion is redundant.

I seem to get about 1800 spam messages a month... 60 a day? It all gets filtered into my spam folder, so I don't really notice, but there is something satisfying about deleting 1800 messages all at once. It probably helps that my email address is printed in full on my website. How much spam do...

Well, normally I only start thinking about these things around Christmas time. Christmas has been obviously secularized and so you start seeing those signs that say, "Jesus is the real reason of the season." So, I got to thinking... Is Easter a Christian Holiday anymore? Was it to begin with...

Europeans do not really tip. They leave small amounts of change behind, maybe half a euro, maybe a bit more. Being Canadian, I feel obliged. The interesting thing is, when you tip someone here, they seem genuinely happy. It is really heartwarming. I always try to make some pleasant comment to...
