Caffespresso

By the way, or should I say BTW, since this blog has coffee as part of the title, I want to say that I found a new coffee shop called Caffespresso. The owner, Claudio Ragazzi, is from Italy and serves a variety of sandwiches, bakes some delightful breads, pastries and cookies and of course offers a selection of tea and coffee based drinks. (Gelati is supplied by DeLuca) He teaches a class in Mediterranean Geography at VCU for fun and tells me that a couple colleagues of his will be teaching Spanish and Italian there soon on Wednesday evenings. Ciao!

Twitter

Read a lot about and followed a lot of the news-related twitters. Just enough to peak one's interest. It's like the "sound bite" concept, just en(this would be just about where the 140 character limit would be)ough to grab your interest and go form there.

Rss Feeds

This RSS concept is appropriately named, especially for those of us who need "simple" in our lives. I tried some very specialized feeds which are easy to keep up with and conversely, some general ones on professional matters or "newsy" items. These are overwhelming, especially if you are a bit compulsive and feel compelled to at least read the titles of each story. Best (for me) to try to stay focused!

Week 2

This week's excercise is something that I've put off for quite some time. Seems like there is really nothing too hard about it, but procrastination is a very strong force! I've observed the blog phenomenon, social networking etc. through the window, but have finally opened it and have one leg through. Oops, too late, I am on the inside now.
I have taken the vitual leap of faith so that the entire world, well at least the Henrico Library world, can see a tiny part of my world.
