The latest:

>> The thing is, yeah, we drink a hell of a lot of coffee up here in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle's weather usually necessitates it, and besides, we like the stuff. We're in love with the entire freaky culture of coffee, and nearly everything associated with the beverage -- from coffee-table books to wi-fi.

Which brings me to barista and blogger Tonx. I've never met the man myself, but he has expressed admiration for one of my coffee photos in Flickr -- a compliment which may not seem like a big deal until you've seen his coffee photos.

If you don't crave coffee right now, believe me, you will once you're done looking at his terrific gallery of latte art images. Flights to Seattle leave on the hour.
