I know that I've tried this before, and it hasn't worked. There was something called Lefty270 a long time ago that was not interesting, then there was 44 Days, which hardly got updated. Then I tried to resurrect Lefty270 as twothousandseven, but that project also failed miserably. I don't completely understand why it is that I'm trying to do this whole "blog" thing, other than an innate desire to bitch and moan to somebody.
Well, that's only half-true. I think the real reason that I've finally been inspired (by Jeewan Ghuman's "Transition to Reality"; www.transition2reality.blogspot.com) is because I think I have some pretty good ideas. Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm getting bored, or maybe I'm getting boring; but everyday the world seems to be getting dumber and dumber. In an effort to light up the world and stem the tide of this rising stupidity, I have decided to start my blogging career anew with "Moka Express."
The concept is fairly simple: I think about a lot of things, and I want to generate discussion. A favorite pass-time throughout history has been for interested parties to sit around and talk about the state of things. It doesn't matter what kind of things, just things. Sometimes, these things are discussed over a cup of coffee (or espresso ...).
I recently purchased a Bialetti Moka Express coffee machine. The Moka Express was unveiled in Italy in 1933 and instantly become a cultural icon. Displayed in several museums of modern art, the Moka Express enables the everyday person to brew delicious espresso quickly and easily on their stove top. See the image below, and reference www.bialetti.com.
My goal is that exciting ideas will bubble up in my head and spill onto this blog. Then I encourage all of you to drink in what I have said and post comments in response. Together we can generate an exciting conversation on each topic. The plan is for me to update bi-weekly, to give me enough time to think out posts and to provide enough time for you all to respond. Perhaps our dialog can be as epic as the invention for which this page is named.
Cheers,
Jack
