Is it just me, or does this new skin feel like windows xp

It is terrible. Not as good as prior skin.
On a large screen it is a narrow column -- maybe for more advertising space?
The "subscribed/watched" forums used to be so simple and elegant. It is now too cluttered and less easy to navigate.

We'll get through it. These changes are not even close to the upheaval of the major update last time.

The first coffee I purchased at Costco that I actually like:

Nice. Medium is still too dark for me though. I'm light light light all the way.

If I had my druthers I would pick light roast also. But this stuff is good! Very smooth taste.

I prefer med to med-dark roasts, which is why I'm in love with Lavazza Super Crema.

In Santa Cruz - brought my travel espresso machine and grinder - and the results are better than I expected. The Smart Grinder Pro, which I keep at work, is really miserably for espresso, so maybe I should keep the travel grinder there as well, and keep the smart grinder pro for pour-over, or french press. By contrast, the JX-Pro is very adept at espresso, with increments that are just the right size to change the experience slightly without being so big as to make you wish for a middle point.

The bicycling experiences down here are just great.
