vac pot re-considerations

maybe vac pots aren't the most fragile coffeemakers after all!

"that night it was washed and laying on the counter and all of a sudden a big kaboom."

yuppers, readers, this lady is describing the self-destruction of her glass-lined thermal carafe, a common part of many popular autodrip brewers.

those vac pots are looking better and better!

on a completely different subject, did you ever wonder what happened to all the great internet genuises whose talent was cruelly assassinated by the end of the golden era? some have struggled; others have used that creativity in surprising ways.

an example of the latter is long-time bccy pal and famed 'net guru madhu "madman" menon. when he bagged information architecture, he struck out in a totally new area while keeping his reputation for innovation: thai food.

that's right -- he's cooking thai in bangalore! with the same artfulness, humor, and creativity we'd all expect of the old madman. . .the reviews are fantastic.

here's his new restaurant blog.
