DIY electronics
At some point I think I would like to dabble in some DIY electronic projects. Mitch Altman at Cornfield Electronics put together this nice PDF comic on how to solder.

Home Roasting Coffee
My new favourite hobby is roasting my own coffee. Delicious and awesome.
I started off by researching easy ways to roast coffee at home and came upon this video:
I found a cheap (free actually) popper at a yard sale.
I ordered the green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's (the company that also made the video). It cost me (after shipping) just shy of 30 dollars for 4 different varieties of coffee (one pound each).
Following the instructions in the video, each roasting session lasts about 5 to 7 minutes. I roast the coffee the day before and then enjoy the freshly roasted coffee the next day. I have just been amazed with the results.
