When I write sci-fi pieces, I’m usually looking at the mind.  Not just in how people act and react to one another, but in particular how they act and react within the constraints of technology.  In the proto-cyberpunk world I am currently working in, there is a certain amount of psychological risk when dealing with memories and experiences created through the use of implanted technology.  Not just the classic old trope of “can you be killed in cyberspace?” but a slightly more nuanced approach based around ideas like the one linked below.

Adventures in coffee-making: Parte the Firste

July 7, 2014 People, Uncategorized Comments Off on Adventures in coffee-making: Parte the Firste

Today I am trying to sort out the order of operations in making iced coffee.  DON’T MOCK ME, coffee is serious stuff.  Empires have been raised and fallen over it’s use.

I have the following ingredients in hand:

64oz of old brewed coffee (in the fridge).

cup of sugar

cup of heavy cream

cup of ice

 

Attempt#1

Order:  Fill glass with ice.  fill to 3/4 with cold coffee.  Add 1 tbsp cream and 1 tbsp sugar.  stir.

Result:  The cream freezes to the ice cubes and the sugar stays mostly undissolved.

Assessment:  Tasty, but not very sweet.  When the coffee is gone you get this sugar-water mix because the sugar doesn’t dissolve.
