2013 Running
I finished a 12 mile run today. I don't think I will run any more before midnight, so that brings my total to 895 miles for the year.

Knoxville Brew aka K Brew
My chef friend had been talking about a new coffee place: Knoxville Brew. They serve up a mighty fine cup of Joe. I had a simple drip (the El Ishco from El Salvador). It was quite smooth and had a fantastic flavor. K Brew isn't exactly close to my house, so that's good for my wallet.

MicroSD Card Microcontroller
Bunnie talks about hacking MicroSD cards:
"An Arduino, with its 8-bit 16 MHz microcontroller, will set you back around $20. A microSD card with several gigabytes of memory and a microcontroller with several times the performance could be purchased for a fraction of the price."
