Japanese coffee brewing maching

January 24, 2008 12:27pm

Eh? I swore i saw this on Boing Boing before, oh yeah =P : http://gadgets.boingboing.net/2008/01/23/the-other-monstrous.html

Anyways the Coffee is great there. I was there opening day and took a few snaps that are on my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuhaib/sets/72157603781751074/
Its pricy tho (not $20k a cup as the nytimes article states) but around $10 with the one i got going for $11, but it amounts to more then one cup. Its more like 3 cups.

The Other Monstrous "Clover," a $20k Coffee Brewing Vacuum Siphon

January 23, 2008 1:37pm

Eh, like others mention that is not the Clover but its called a siphon bar. And the coffee is great as i was there to try it out. I took some photos with my iPhone while there, not the best and maybe i will go back with my G9 later on. You can take a look at my photos on my flickr feed http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuhaib/sets/72157603781751074/ .
And if any is wonder what do they charge for a cup of coffee from this $20k machine, it is around $10 with the one that i ordered costing $11 ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/zuhaib/2214450807/in/set-72157603781751074/ ). Its worth about 3 cups of coffee and comes with toffee. Its pricey but worth a once in a month or maybe to share with two.

Bamboo microscopes made in India for $4

October 31, 2007 11:38pm

$4 is not bad, in RS its about Rs.157 which is decent money.
The Avg yearly income in India is about $500, so this is almost 1% of someones yearly income.
1% of a US Avg yearly incomes comes to about $400.

Its a good goal and I dont mean to knock it as more education is great but whenever i see an article about how something is just "X dollars" in another country it just makes me think about what is the real cost of that product (like the OLPC).

Skull-watch of Mary Queen of Scots

October 25, 2007 11:09am

If she would have just employed people as skilled to make this watch in coming up with a proper cypher she might not have lost hear heard.

Really tho she had a "disturbing" past, so a gift like this would make sense.

Yeah, being American-Pakistani and knowing the culture this sounds a bit like a husband that did a more then just push her...

Humm, i must say this ep felt a lot better then the first one. The first one felt like, I dont know how to say it, but as if things where just thrown together and see if it would stick.
Great to see the improvement and i cant wait for the next one now.

If you want some more interesting (and dare I say, better) qawalli music listen to Sabri Brothers. They are on iTunes but some of there really good stuff is found on there CD and mix tapes.

I have a song of there that goes for about 30min, a single song. The Poetry is just crazy, and is even for me hard to follow as they use very high urdu.
I have been staying away from Music as its Ramadan, so its just all podcasts.
