About Caffeinated CPU

I have two passions: coffee and computers! Hence the name of this website, Caffeinated CPU. This website is an outlet for me that captures my love for the two. Every few weeks you can expect a new article based on all things coffee and technology related.

Caffeinated

I would argue there’s no wrong way to love coffee. Whether one takes it black or enjoys an extra sweet hazelnut flavoured latte. I take it a step further.

I delight in discovering different coffee beans I can get my hands on. From light to dark roast, from different origins, to different tasting notes, and from various roasters, I want to try them all! I take care to freshly grind my coffee beans for my morning brew. I have a vast array of different brewers to choose from and to experiment with. I am also simply fond of going to local cafés, both to independent and chains alike. It's a delightful hobby of mine.

So, let’s brew some coffee (no special tools or skills required)!

CPU

Here we get technical. Another passion of mine is delcing deep into a topic in technology. I am talking "how does a CPU work?" level deep! Although, given my profession, most of my tech blog posts will be about software. Including the tools I used to make this very website! In particular, you should read my very first article: History of Markdown.
