I've been trying my hand at latte art. Though I have a very long way to go, I've been documenting my efforts, with a hope of learning from my mistakes. Blogger's mobile support makes it pretty easy to collect pictures, and I've finally gotten around to making a decent template for the "blog."

coffee.persistent.info is the result. Technically, this isn't a Blogger template, since I just have some static HTML as the content. Instead, it uses the JSON output that Blogger's GData API supports. Rendering the page in JavaScript allows for more flexibility. I wanted to make pictures that I liked take up 4 slots (a layout inspired by TwitterPoster). This imposed additional constraints (in order to prevent overlap between sequential large pictures). The display is generally reverse-chronological starting from the top left, but images are occasionally shuffled around to prevent such overlaps. There is also a bit of interactivity, the pictures are clickable to display larger versions. To help with all this, I've been experimenting with jQuery (also on Mail Trends), and am liking it quite a bit.
