Couch Where Jack Dreamed Up His Secret Sauce?
Monday, June 4, 2012
Here's a snap from a recent cupping (coffee tasting) at Beacon Coffee Roasters in Ventura, California. They're still working on their website so for now, you'll have to order over the phone, or stock up the next time you head north! This artisan coffee roaster is worth the effort if you're serious about your brew. Extremely passionate and knowledgeable about their coffee, the owners John and Jen can talk coffee on your level. beaconcoffee.com

Larger Than Life
At Camera Obscura on the Santa Monica bluffs in Palisades Park you can peek for free at the 360 degree view outside - from INSIDE the larger than life-sized camera. Enter through the Senior Center that inhabits the prime real estate on the ground floor. Trade your ID for the key to the camera. After a twisting climb upstairs you'll find the door to the camera posted with the directions for its use.
If you're like us, you'll enter the dark room without so much as a glance at the directions. Once you close the door you'll find yourself in the pitch dark body of a pinhole camera. The images that surround the building are shinning on a large disk or table on front of you. There's a steering wheel of sorts that allows you to take in the full 360 degree view outside.
On your way out you may notice, there's a light switch just inside the door! lol What a great treasure for the whole family - one of those awesome ideas created for us decades ago by people with vision. See it!
