Coffee Content by Feed



I have completed my cgi scripts to parse the necesssary information from the BBC and FOX RSS feeds as well as the NYTimes(it turns out that these feeds were a lot less machine readable than the times feed because they had style information as opposed to just trees). Yesterday's coffee content looked like this. Soon, the java applet which allows users without access to a news brews machine to make their own coffee will be launched. This infographic is a rough sketch of how it will look.
As an optimist, I like to think that there will come a time when the flavor of Yemeni mocha(representing the middle east) won't be so prominent, but in the meantime, it sure is tasty.
