Fall and Canning

Tony — Wed, 10/15/2008 - 7:13pm

It struck her about two weeks ago. We had found a roadside vegetable garden and shed just down the road toward Pilot Hill. You know, the kind with baskets piled with heirloom tomatoes, a box with a scrawled note saying "Please pay here", and outside rows of tomato plants, corn, peppers, squash, and further up the side of the hill apple and pear trees. Then down the road just a bit further we discovered an Asian family tending an acre or so of strawberries.

Victory Gardens

Sebastian — Wed, 07/23/2008 - 9:31am

These days Dana is getting more and more into exploring local produce and agriculture. There are a lot of upsides to the concept, from supporting the community, to eating organic, to reducing the fuel and other infrastructure we require to support ourselves. It seems we're not alone on this, we continue to hear and read about others doing the same, a sort of groundswell of interest in urban agriculture, self-sufficiency, even guerrilla gardening.

New weepies album

Sebastian — Fri, 04/25/2008 - 7:44pm

So the Weepies have a new album. And it's good. I've been getting to know it over the last couple of days since its release, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. There's some really nice stuff here from this pair of lovebirds.

Here's a nice way to get it (God bless Amazon.com. High quality music downloads, free of any DRM rights-usurping bullshit)

God Bless KABL

Sebastian — Tue, 01/08/2008 - 9:08am

These words have been spoken quite a few times in the last day or so, now that we have discovered that our often mourned KABL radio is broadcasting an MP3 stream.

A picture is worth a thousand words

"The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat'"

Fixing a locked up SanDisk Sansa e250 audio player

Sebastian — Wed, 07/26/2006 - 1:36pm

SanDisk doesn't publish the steps to accessing the recovery mode on the e250 flash player. So when mine had some filesystem corruption, I eventually ended up with a device that would not boot. It went into database refresh mode, and stopped partway through.

Initially SanDisk suggested I format the drive from Windows, but since it wouldn't boot, I could not mount it. (Good to know, though, that the drive can simply be formatted without ill effects.)
