FONTANA - An armed robber who sneaked up on a bicyclist Sunday night didn't want the man's money, wallet or anything else of great value. He wanted tacos.
The victim, a 35-year-old Fontana man, had just bought about $20 in tacos from a stand at San Bernardino and Fontana avenues and was riding home when the bandit confronted him. "He approached him from behind, saying, `Give me your tacos,"' said police Sgt. Jeff Decker. "He grabbed the bag of tacos, punched him in the face and began to flee."
The victim demanded his tacos back when they were taken.
"The suspect then pointed what appeared to be a black handgun at the victim," Decker said.
The taco bandit, standing about five feet from the victim, threatened to kill him, then ran.
Police said the robbery was at 9:15 p.m. on Hawthorne Avenue east of Catawba Avenue.
The suspect is described as a 25- to 30-year-old man, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 190 pounds. He has brown hair and eyes and wore a black hooded sweat shirt. The man also had a long mustache.
Decker said food robberies are not uncommon when the victim is delivering pizzas, but he considered this crime to be odd.
"Doing an armed robbery for tacos, that's a little out there," he said.

Coffee. now.

We got a new coffeemaker; at work. It is trying very hard to solve all possible coffee related problems, but it's a little terrifying.

I went and read the website about it and supposedly "The new ‘funky’ look combines an almost retro feel with modern ergonomics". I think that nothing about this coffeemaker could actually be described as ergonomic.

Also it  "stimulates with a welcoming, easy and fun to use interface". Especially when I want coffee, I do not want to be stimulated with a welcoming and fun interface. I want a coffee button that gives me coffee. now.

I'm also a little freaked out by the "Creamy topping"; pod. Supposedly this enables the machine to make lattes and so on.

However, I find it very satisfying to read the nutrition information they provided and add up the mg's of caffeine I'm consuming throughout the day. zing :)
