Caffeine

|

InfoDesign has a link to a whole wad of sample IA deliverables and a paper that explains the relationships between them.

The latest featured link on the Blogger home page is Badgett's Coffee eJournal. As one would surmise, "It's All About Coffee!!!" Interesting bit of caffeine trivia: Twining's English Breakfast Tea has more caffeine in it than coffee does.

Speaking of caffeinated beverages, I've been drinking a lot of Vanilla Coke lately, just for the hell of it. Obviously I like the stuff, but I have the same complaint with it that I do with Cherry Coke: it tastes too damn much like regular Coke. I want to taste vanilla in it, goddamit. At least with Cherry Coke, there are viable (and superior) alternate beverages, namely Dr. Pepper and Cherry Bomb Jolt.

My quest for Cherry Bomb Jolt somewhere within reasonable walking distance of the hovel continues. My local Food Depot briefly reinstated the beverage to its shelves, but it's gone again. I've now discovered that the 7-11 at College & Spadina carries it; still a bit of a hike but a vast improvement over hauling my ass all the way down to the Eaton Centre for it.

I wonder if Jolt will add a vanilla cola to their product line....
