As many of you know, I really love keeping data. Any kind of data. I figure if I track everything, even if I don't know how I can use the data, in the future I'll have it to make the choice. But if I don't track it now, I may regret not having it, and all will be lost.

Neil Young is awesome. From what I've read, he was a bit of a creative sphincter* when he was younger, but apparently at some point something changed, and he became this really friendly guy. Of course, I've

well, i'm not sure i want to get into a big debate about it on avalantern, but regarding genetically modified foods, i'm with you. the trickiest part is defining what genetically modified even means! seedless watermelons are genetically modified simply by breeding. (though my friend believes big corporations did this to make seeds more valuable.)

This video of a miniature wunderland is absolutely incredible. Neil Young, you may have a run for your money!

Occupy the Food Industry [link comment]
[Benji!] [27 January 2012]
This whole recent todo about genetically modified foods really confuses me (I haven't read the article you linked to, just the quotes, so I don't know if it even talks much about genetically modified food but this is something that has really been bothering me). Humans have been genetically modifying food for centuries. I don't remember what it w

I'm sure this article is a bit over the top, but even if you take it with a grain of salt it's horrifying. We all know these things happen in our food industry, so why does no one talk about it? Why are we only talking about Banks being evil, or electronics companies exploiting Chinese factories (and paying them well above local minimum wage)?

Green House Gas Data for the US [link]
[THE Lowly Peon] [22 January 2012]
The EPA requires that emitters of lots of green house gases publish data about their pollutants, and they publish it here. This website is horrible, but the data is pretty unreal.
The great Houston area has some of the most pollutant plants in the US.

I've always assumed that cities like LA and Houston are horribly sprawled because they were, in one way or another, designed around the automobile. This parking expert believes it's not the car that caused this concrete paradise, but the parking lots.
Also, did you know that parking lots really came from Oklahoma City? And they make loads
My History with a Jawbone UP [blog update]
[THE Lowly Peon] [21 December 2011]
well, a few days ago, my second UP died. because two UPs, from different places, times, and probably production times, both died at different times, i figure it may be best to get a refund on that one instead of a replacement. i'm excited for jawbone to release their 2.0 version of this, as i believe it will be really solid. i just can't afford to
