• Global Administrative Areas | Boundaries without limits – GADM is a spatial database of the location of the world's administrative areas (or adminstrative boundaries) for use in GIS and similar software. Administrative areas in this database are countries and lower level subdivisions such as provinces, departments, bibhag, bundeslander, daerah istimewa, fivondronana, krong, landsvæðun, opština, sous-préfectures, counties, and thana. GADM describes where these administrative areas are (the "spatial features"), and for each area it provides some attributes, foremost being the name and variant names.

• Passion Container – Ⅰ frequently hear the word "passion" used to describe tango. Even those who do not dance at all will say to friends and strangers, "Tango is such a passionate dance." After dancing tango for more than a decade, Ⅰ would be the first to agree that the tango calls forth our deepest passions. However, it bothers me that "passionate" is sometimes understood as "sexual" in the tango world, even though it has a much broader meaning in other contexts.

• The Essential Tango – In Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the tango was born, they say that the initial "embrace" tells you everything before you even take the first step. Well, what exactly, you might ask, is this "everything" that can be learned in a mere instant of physical contact?

Setup: Gaggia Baby; Mahlkönig Vario (1,5)

Fette, dicke Crema (eher Schaum), die relativ schnell zusammenfällt und sehr wässrig schmeckt. Espresso schmeckt sehr mild, langweilig.

Vielleicht eher geeignet für Milch-Drinks? Laut Kaffeezentrale auch eher weniger geeignet für Espresso — nächstens Mal weiss ich also Bescheid.

Today (this sounds like Ⅰ was posting to this blog in a regular mode…) Ⅰ would like to present you a blog from by blogroll: Jonathan’s Coffeeblog. A fellow coffee-lover Jon is, but it seems he has many other interests as well, especially comics. And, incidentally Ⅰ also have re-discovered an app that came bundled with my Mac: ComicLife. Ⅰ assume that is what Jon uses as well, but see for yourself, his style is stunning, clever and just fun to read:

And speaking of style: his blog’s design is interesting,. Definitely not as boring as my „off the shelf don’t have the time to redesign“-K2 theme. And if you like the curious, mind-expanding look at things close to everyday life (like „what is bright coffee?„), or some exciting piece of history that you never knew anyone would be telling you… (like Hulagu’s exit strategy).

Go, check it out, not only if you like coffee, but especially if you like to be surprised and entertained while being educated as well
