Valleywag got some coverage here:

(sorry, not sure if I can HTMLize stuff here, so I’m opting for the readable link)
As best as I can tell, once being a former coffeehouse employee (the owner was a mechanical engineer the rest of the time, so he was huge on process and quality), Starbucks has managed to capture what most of the non-Starbucks coffeehouses seem to do, but spent a good amount of time covering it.
It’s all a bunch of hooey anyhow. I wouldn’t trust any company that redefines “macchiato” so extremely to have the slightest whit of understanding when it comes to crema.

Is this show unofficially over?
I mean, is it?
Because our hero’s last Twitter was *still* Not a Number days ago.
OMG That still cracks me up so much!!!!!!
But srsly, are you done consumatron?

This show is not over.
I’m twittering more than ever, now that I have unlimited txting on my phone.
I’m also twittering with anticipation for the day that everything else gets caught up and I am free to do more videos.
Fuck the excuses though. I’ll be back soon…. Hopefully I haven’t lost it.
Srsly… I’m not done.

A little moral support for you:

It’s not what he says about Bush (albeit true), it’s what he says about failure (while Bush is a prime example) that should offer you solace.
Keep up the good work.

Good news everyone! F the excuses!
(On a side note, We all know, except for those of us who don’t, that the holy grail of video blogs is acheiving the following milestone: having regularly occurring, frequent posts [without being as lame as RocketBoom]. I’ve yet to see anyone with an unrelated Full time job and S.O. be able to pull it off though.)
Srsly though, thanks a trillion billion zillion !!!!!!!!!!!!
I like this show!
