Eating Seasonal

I’ve been reading a lot lately about food- eating seasonal, local, healthy and so forth. These goals are inter-linked. I checked if the place where we get our vegetables bought from local farms, turns out “they do when they can”:http://www.russos.com/home/home.html (in the summer). A little more Googling lead me to “Sustainable Table”:http://www.sustainabletable.org/ which is a phenomenal site about all the goals I listed above. Here’s a list of “what’s in season in which month”:http://www.sustainabletable.org/shop/eatseasonal/ in for many states in the United States.

Wobble and Clock

I walked by a “Brookstone”:http://www.brookstone.com the other day and saw this:
Wobble and Bob

Now this may seem like a totally random and totally acceptable clock to many people. These people are clearly not fans of the funniest cartoon on the Internet, a.k.a. “Weebl and Bob”:http://weebls-stuff.com/wab/ about the wobbling, oval shaped Weebl and sometimes his friend Bob. Now tell me the Brookstone folks thought up the name _Bob Wobble Clock_ without ever having seen Weebl & Bob!

To prove I am not crazy, or at least my form of madness is common, here’s “another blogger”:http://kenny.wordpress.com/2006/06/03/bob-the-ripoff/ who had the same idea.
