The future of the coffee web... · Thursday November 23, 2006 by colin newell

I have seen the future of the specialty coffee web…
and it’s JimSeven.Com
Sure, I have been webbing or blogging for 12+, almost 13 years.
The new generation of coffee savvy writers have taken the World-wide-web and its readers to a totally new place.
There was a time, not so long ago, that I viewed (with suspicion) a few of the competing specialty-coffee sites. It was not so long ago that there we were a handful of sites. Now there are more.
Many more.
And I take great comfort in the quality of these blogs and the positive energy of the writers and hosts.
So much so… that if I quit tomorrow, I know that the audience for these websites and blogs would be in good hands.
Good hands indeed.
But I am not done… just yet.

Lukas Rossi wins RockStar Supernova · Wednesday September 13, 2006 by colin newell
A Canadian wins Rockstar MSN again!
Canadian rocker Lukas Rossi pulled out all the stops to edge out Dilana, Toby and the Icelandic guy (Magni) for the title:
Lead singer Rockstar SuperNova
Not much of a TV watcher (being more devoted to a variety of Radio media), I have been hooked to this for the last 2 seasons.
For some reason, this seasons preliminaries did not interest me much. Truth is, the likes of Tommy Lee and his tatooed cohorts from Motley Crue, Metallica and MC5 hold little interest.
Yet. It grew on me. I have seen the last 4 weeks or so.
It has been fun.
And another Canadian won.
Yea.
