How much CO2 is released in a Google search?
“Each google search lets out 7 gram of CO2. A kettle of boiling water required for a cup of tea leaves 15 gram. That means two google searches are equal to a cup of tea.” (via Alex Wissner Gross)1

Field notes
// somedays, i can go a whole day at the office without saying a few dozen words to coworkers or clients… i don’t do this intentionally… it’s just part of being involved in special projects… maybe it’s the whole out-of-site-out-of-mind equation… & it’s not that i’m goofing off… working on a design for sales sheet promoting new media advertising opportunities… still, if i knew it was going to be this dull today, i would have taken a personal day & worked in the garden…
corn, tomato and sundry seedlings come forth
but don’t plant the corn & tomato next to each other in the garden… they are not companion plants & may harm each other’s growth if planted close together…
spinach seedlings
pea seedlings break forth
Do you read poetry?
“In 2002, 12% of adults read poetry. 2008 it’s 8.3%.” 1

in an escape from the bias and collectivism of wikipedia, i discovered and am enjoying the encyclopædia britannica’s blog. some of the interesting stories of the day include: Do Americans Support Capitalism, and Which Capitalism? and Starbucks Not the Answer for New York Freelancers. My favorite post so far is Creative Design (Space-Saving Coffee Lids).

50% of the book division’s catalog achieved breakeven/profit status… a case for small press publishers?

from seeds, i now have 18 pea plants, 18 pepper plants, 10 spinach plants, 18 cantaloupe, 20 cabbage… the rest are still germinating…

i should reply to all the emails i’ve neglected… but every time i start, the kidlingers turn berserker & search for lands to plunder…

trying to figure out if this poem will work better in a 6-line, 3-stanza form or a 3-line, 6 stanza form…
