Roasting Journal: Costa Rican at Preset 2 Pt. 2
Today I once again tried roasting some Costa Rican beans at Preset 2. My last batch was really decent, but it was a little bit light, even by my standards. I was thinking about going from 4:45 to maybe 4:00, but I kinda got carried away taking photos and roasted to 2:45.

Roasting Journal: Costa Rican at Preset 2
In order to better keep track of my exploits in roasting coffee beans, I’m going to start posting my settings and experiences to Tumblr.

I’m working on a site prototype and this came in handy. FilterMusic.net uses it for their full-screen image backgrounds. It’s a nice, light, jquery-based image slideshow that’s super simple to set up and use. I’ve been looking for random slideshow code all week and this is arguably the nicest I’ve found.
