So this battery for the iphone 3g/3gs is pretty damn big. But I would not go anywhere without it. I use up my iPhone battery pretty fast from heavy use. Having this battery around will allow me to charge it fully about 3 times. Or i can leave the phone in the battery and get a good 4 hours of constant data (which i have tested and yes it gets that).

It has an extra usb port at the bottom so i can charge up any usb device which comes in very handy for charging my bluetooth headset or my sons iPod Touch.

There is a light on the back as well which is very bright and uses almost no battery. This has come in very handy on many occasions for using as a flashlight. I have never used it for its designated purpose of being a “flash” for the camera because it seems too awkward. But as a flashlight, it is great.

I HIGHLY recommend this battery to anybody with an iphone that will use up the battery in less than a day as i often do.

I drink a lot of coffee….a lot of coffee.

I really dont like drip coffee. I dont like pod espresso (always far too bitter). I rarely like super automatic espresso. I do love french press and drink it every day. I also love my moka pot (stovetop espresso).  And when i’m out and there is a good espresso machine, i do love a good, well pulled cup. I dont like cream nor sugar as I like to taste the nuance of the coffee.

In comes the Aerobie Aeropress. My God does this thing make a great cup of espresso. The process is simple:
1. put filter in aeropress, put on cup, place espresso grounds in

2. pour 175 degree water up to the number

3. stir for 10 seconds

4. press for 20 seconds

thats it!

cleanup is a breeze as all you do is shoot out the puck and wipe down the end.

verdict: Awsome! Don’t drop $1k on a super automatic for your office, just get one of these.
