I’ve been really enjoying this series about signs. Give it a read.
5 A Day CSA
After a grocery store trip this weekend that left me with a lot of produce and not much money, this is looking mighty attractive. Unlike most community supported agriculture groups, I won’t be locked into getting a new box every week or paying a few hundred dollars upfront for months of produce. I can have it delivered on Tuesdays, or pick it up on Thursdays. And if I’ll be out of town, I can just opt out of buying one altogether and get one when I come back.
I’ll be getting one next week, since I still need to get through my stock of fruits and veggies. That said, if you’re in the D.C. metropolitan area, I invite you to try this with me.

The Stacy Jones Band is a Seattle based group blending sounds from jazz, funky blues & late 1960’s early 70’s rock. With vocal qualities similar to Bonnie Raitt & Susan Tedeschi, plus funky musical styling akin to recent Blues Traveler; The Stacy Jones Band has a sound all their own.
The stunning & brilliant Stacy Jones is the lead vocalist for The Stacy Jones Band as well as songwriter/guitarist/keyboard & harmonica player. 28 years old, Stacy belts out a vocal richness beyond her years & is collaborating with talented professionals that match her ability & showmanship. The Stacy Jones Band is a true collaboration between Stacy Jones, Jeff Meeter (guitar/songwriting/vocals) Tom Jones (bass/songwriting/vocals) & Rick Bowen (percussion/songwriting/vocals). Collectively they have over 80 years experience as working musicians.

One of the astounding things that my “Stacy Jones” Google Alert turned up today. Enjoy.
To listen to talk radio, to watch TV pundits, to read a newspaper’s online message board, is to realize that increasingly, we are a people estranged from critical thinking, divorced from logic, alienated from even objective truth. We admit no ideas that do not confirm us, hear no voices that do not echo us, sift out all information that does not validate what we wish to believe.

Google Italy Executives Found Guilty Over Offensive Video
THOUGHTS
I predict that Google and YouTube execs will need their own special brand of business liability insurance if people keep suing them over things they have no direct control.
Anyone know if the the four boys who were participating in the bullying are facing such a harsh penalty?
This sets a really awful legal precedent that’s going to force companies like Google and YouTube to adopt Big Brother-esque policies just to avoid getting sued. Then, I’d wager, the same people filing these frivolous lawsuits would raise an almighty whine about their privacy being invaded.
What a world.
