I heard this really bad news at a meeting this AM: Fire coursed through the shops of the historic Eastern Market on Capitol Hill early Monday morning, gutting the southern half of the 134-year-old landmark. I’m ashamed that in my nearly ten years in DC, I had just gotten to Eastern Market last fall. The [...]

Another Beth blogs: Web Analytics packages are sold as if it’s an automatic coffee maker. In fact, it is more like buying a coffee plantation. You can still get your cup of coffee (eventually), but your [sic] going to have to stick your hands in a lot more manure than you ever knew. How funny! [...]

Ugh. It looks like it hit at least 85 degrees here today. This wouldn’t be a problem, except that I live in an old building that has a forced water heating/cooling system.

A family of mourning doves has been making regular appearances on my balcony. I’m not sure what’s attractive about last year’s dead planter foliage, but this is the second time I’ve seen a bird here.

Just announced: Talk show host Don Imus’ situation worsened Wednesday, when MSNBC announced that it would no longer simulcast the “Imus in the Morning” radio program. I’ve been reading the commentary on places like HuffPo that claim that we need to tolerate Imus’ kind of speech, but for me, what was the real issue here [...]

Or, the more things change, the more they stay the same. So I was doing my regular read of InfoDesign, and came across Keith Instone’s Reaction to NextD, which points to this PDF by GK VanPatter, IA’s Unidentical Twins (Revisited), which is an expansion of a recent comment to Peter Morville post on Information Architecture [...]

I just noticed yet another Flickr function! I’ve known for a while that groups and people have RSS feeds, but I just now noticed that they also provide feeds of recent photos from your contact list. You can choose either all your contacts or just your friends and family. Sweet!
About Me
I'm a techie who thinks that obesity is more a symptom than a cause and that the real problem is our Western diet -- especially sugar, refined grains, and industrial oils. I'm into nutrition, ancestral health & food policy. And cats!
