10 Things I'll Miss About Seattle, No. 4: Indulgent Baristas
Posted December, 18 at 1:30 pm by Jonathan Kauffman, VoraciousFourth in a series of the things I'll most miss about eating in Seattle.
I know it's a cliché, but man, will I miss the coffee in Seattle. The baseline quality here is higher than anywhere else in the country, and I've been disappointed with most of the Third Wave cafes I've visited in San Francisco, New York, and Los Angeles since moving here. For all the bullshit that certain Seattle cafes make customers endure -- and oh, I'll be naming names later on this week -- most of the baristas in town are gracious and forbearing about the pedantic requests they fulfill.Topics: Best of Seattle -
School of Crime: Killer Morris Goldberg, 78, Shows How To Talk Your Way Back into Prison Cell
Posted December, 18 at 1:07 pm by Rick Anderson, The Daily WeeklyGetting out of prison early takes a special effort, and Morris "Mel" Goldberg has provided his fellow prisoners with a lesson on how not to make it.
"If you feel it is better for me to remain incarcerated," the 78-year-old Monroe inmate recently told the state Clemency and Pardons Board, "so be it."Topics: Crime & Punishment -

Obamitas = LOCO
Posted December, 18 at 12:15 pm by Angela Garbes, VoraciousNormally, I am a big fan of the website Eat Me Daily. Their observations about food and culture are sharp and witty, and they consistently put out some of best cookbook and food book reviews around. However, yesterday's Eat Me Daily admission that they are "charmed" by Obamitas, "the artisanal chocolate cookies out of Spain that feature the likeness of President Barack Obama," leaves me scratching my head and saying, "Aw, hell no."Topics: Food Media -
Reardon Watch: Strong Jaw, Tender Heart
Posted December, 18 at 11:51 am by Laura Onstot, The Daily WeeklyThis week, Aaron Reardon proved that he's not just a chiseled specimen of a man capable of running powerful multi-county transit agencies. He also has a heart for children. On Wednesday Reardon visited a class of three and four-year-olds at Hawthorne Elementary to hand out gingerbread cookies and read (in that silky baritone of his) "The Doorbell Rang" by Pat Hutchins, a story about siblings who share their treats as more and more friends arrive.
"I talked with the children Wednesday about the importance of giving to others," Reardon said, before adding that the state should also practice giving in the form of funding for these free preschool programs.
A man of political power with a cut physique and now he's good with kids too? Be still my beating heart!Topics: Reardon Watch -
Tonight (and Last Night): the Cadence Chamber Orchestra
Posted December, 18 at 11:42 am by Gavin Borchert, ReverbThe brand-new Cadence Chamber Orchestra plans to perform concerts in pairs, one in a traditional hall (tonight at 8, at Cornish College's PONCHO Concert Hall) and one, putting the hay down where the goats can get it, in an unconventional venue. For their debut last night, conductor Tigran Arakelyan chose Capitol Hill's coffeehouse/bar Café Metropolitain. Decorated with trompe-l'oeil storefronts, the faux-on-faux Café is to the Paris Las Vegas casino what the casino is to Paris itself. Clustered around small tables was a capacity, mostly young, crowd, and Hill denizens wandered in and out, amazed to see 30 musicians crammed into one side of the Café's main room. The orchestra's dress was completely informal--which I didn't even notice until halfway through the show, which shows you how little it matters what classical performers wear onstage.Topics: Concert Reviews -
Casey Printz Robs Two Banks While Wearing a Sweatshirt Bearing His Name
Posted December, 18 at 11:27 am by Caleb Hannan, The Daily WeeklyCalling cards are risky for today's modern criminal. Sure, it's nice to get recognized for your work. But giving cops a head start on finding you is usually a bad idea.
Just ask Casey Printz.
The 23-year-old is accused of using a BB gun to knock over two banks and a kitchen supply store. Last week cops arrested Printz at an Aurora Avenue motel.
So how did they know they'd found their man? He was wearing the evidence.Topics: Crime & Punishment -
10 Things I'll Miss About Seattle, No. 3: Nightcaps at Cafe Presse
Posted December, 18 at 10:37 am by Jonathan Kauffman, VoraciousThird in a series of the things I'll most miss about eating in Seattle.
Though I've been eating at Cafe Presse since it opened in the summer of 2007, ending the night at the bar has become a more frequent pleasure since I moved four blocks away. Joanne Herron and Jim Drohman's all-day, late-night cafe is one of those restaurants that is so well designed and well run that there's no gap between what it wants to be and what it is. Sure, the food's not always mind-blowing, but it's not supposed to be -- and at the prices Drohman charges, it's impossible to find the cafe's equal on the Hill (though when the kitchen's humming, Oddfellows comes close).Topics: Best of Seattle -
Why Microsoft Cares That You Use Internet Explorer
Posted December, 18 at 10:31 am by Caleb Hannan, The Daily WeeklyEarlier this week, the European Union dropped antitrust charges against Microsoft after the software giant agreed to offer Windows users a choice of 12 different browsers.
If you're like me (i.e. you can make a computer crash just by looking at it), you probably wondered just why the hell Microsoft so stubbornly resisted offering non-Internet Explorer options for so long (the suit has been playing out for the past decade) and at such a high cost (they've already paid the EU $2.4 billion in fines thus far) for a service they provide for free (you don't pay a dime to use IE, not that you would).
Thankfully, Slate has your answer.Topics: Technology -
