Milwaukee Specialty Food and Coffee

Sprituality Forum

A new page has now been launched on the blog, called Spirituality Forum.  It will be a place to collect blog posts of a religious nature and to interact with readers on this topic.  Also, I had failed to notice that it is possible to open blog pages up to comments, so I will do so now.

Blog News: Wellness Forum

EDIT: This page is now live; click here.

Beginning Sunday afternoon, there will be a new page on this blog called "Wellness Forum."  Seems rather appropriate, as I am feeling very well today indeed--more so than in weeks.  On this (for most) long holiday weekend, I hope the same is true for you!

Blog News: Increased Facebook Integration

As many of you surely already know, it's extremely easy to upload photos en masse to Facebook.  Uploading photos to this blog is relatively difficult and time-consuming.  I will continue to post many photos here--frankly, because doing so attracts more eyeballs--but will also post many to my Facebook profile at http://www.facebook.com/milwaukeespecialtycoffee.

Blog News: Navigation Tweaks

I'm in the process of moving off-topic content to separate pages.  New pages, called "Wellness Forum" and "Religion Forum", will be created.  The "Editorial Forum" page is also back up after having been offline for some time. The format of the other Forum pages will be similar, with comments being integrated into the body of the post in the form of a dialogue.

Blog News: Thanks for Two Years! (And Hopefully, Many More!)

  Though I knew the day was fast approaching, I just realized today is the second anniversary of this site. Read what I blogged about on May 21, 2007.

Blog News: Reduced Posting Schedule

Until further notice, I will be posting to this blog three times a week only, on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I'm glad I started this blog--after all, there had been nothing like it in Milwaukee before--but am not sure that I am the right person to continue it.  I think there's a very real possibility that another person(s) would be better suited to take this property and run with it.  As always, the "Email Me" link at the top right is available for any comments or suggestions, or simply comment here.

Blog News: Trip to Arizona

A couple of you may have seen my errant post of last night, where I tried to post a Google Maps map of where I'll be staying from Feb. 12-24, across the street from the Scottsdale Fashion Square in Scottsdale, AZ.  I have to keep in mind that with RSS, some of you see everything I publish right away, even if I "take it back" later!

Blog News: Weather-related Cancellation

Due to extremely clement weather, this blog is cancelled for today and tomorrow.

Everybody GET OUTSIDE! 

See you Monday.

Web/Tech: Blog News: Social Media Madness

Stone Creek Coffee now has a Twitter presence, which is a great idea.  Kudos to them, also, for being featured in a recent Journal-Sentinel article. There's only one thing missing: any mention of longtime blogger Mary Dally-Muenzmaier. If memory serves, blog posts and newsletters were regular during Mary's tenure there. They've been a tad sporadic since then. Perhaps not coincidentally, a recent Mary post to her own blog mentioned Kim Kisiolek and Stephen Bybee, but not Stone Creek (where all three work or worked at one time). Tee-hee! Anyway, Stone Creek's blog--like this here one--was better when Mary was working on it. Love 'em and leave 'em, Mary, love 'em and leave 'em... ;-)

 *um, just so we're clear, Mary is happily married to a great guy!

Blog News: Store Closings: Harry W. Schwartz Update

There are now two Facebook groups dedicated to saving Harry W. Schwartz: here's one and here's the other.  I doubt any major chain business could inspire such passion.
