Hi! I'm Brian DeWitt. Nice to meet you!

This is a collection of all my Internets. My goal here is to group all of my various doings on the Internet into one place. This way we can have one conversation. And hopefully become better Internet pals. The tabs below are a nice intro.

Professional Content Writing Word of the Day

Posted on 05 December 2011

A professional content writer, or as you might say “copywriter” I know and work with at the new gig situation types some of the weirdest stuff.

Today’s word is mundange. Let us break down this word and derive its meaning.

Mundane is commonly used as “ordinary, banal, unimaginative.” Dange, according to Urban Dictionary, means extreme repulsion; exceedingly lazy. So it follows that mundange means:

  • 1. ordinary or banal to the point of causing physical and/or mental atrophy
  • 2. unimaginative to the point of causing extreme repulsion and creating unpleasant smells

Just drop one euro in the mail to me every time you use this fantastic new word.

Coffee chains urged to improve takeaway cup recycling | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Posted on 04 November 2011

It’s good to talk about it but let’s start doing something about it. As Merlin Mann says, if it were a priority it would be done by now.

Also, Starbucks not revealing the number of disposable cups they sell isn’t a surprise. And its not difficult to figure out how many they sell. Look at earnings over the time period, assume roughly 75% are hot beverages, average the prices of their hot beverages (since those come in the paper cups), then divide adjusted earnings by average price and you have a good estimate at how many disposable cups Starbucks sells.

Learn Your Coffee Roasts

Posted on 02 November 2011

What exactly does roasting do? The sugars, fats and starches that are within the bean are emulsified, caramelized and released. This creates the delicate coffee oil. This oil is what gives coffee its distinctive aroma and taste.

All of these studies about coffee’s benefits in the last few months seem “perfectly” timed to coincide with the cold weather. :)

Capitalizing On The Coffee Buzz - Yahoo! Finance

Posted on 29 October 2011

Since supply and demand aren’t 100% aligned some increase in price is expected. My concern now lies with drastic increase in futures prices of coffee. Increases there are way out of line with actual supply and demand.
