"Shopping online to eat locally is not just about the food. With oil prices so high, making an effort to reduce the energy costs associated with transporting food from farm to table can be a political stance."

It seems that the LSU Tigers baseball team's next opponent in their attempt at another College World Series championship will be the UC Irvine Anteaters. Anteaters! Anteaters.
[Note this from the Wikipedia: "The Anteater mascot was promoted by 3 students in UCI's founding year, Bob Ernst and Pat Glasgow of the water polo team, and rowing team member Schuyler Bassett. The mascot name was brought to a vote to the student body where irregularities were suspected in the voting process."]

The Poor Clio Time Machine
I'm taking a class in May on Adobe AIR for Flex Developers, so I've been trying to build up my chops enough in Flex 3 to make the class productive. Slogging through tutorials is always instructive, but I find I really pick up my learning pace when I try to actually create something and then have to learn all the things it takes to flesh out my idea.
So, I have created the Poor Clio Time Machine, which lets the user find a spot in the historical continuum of Poor Clio postings and see what was posted on that day; to make it more visually interesting, I have also allowed users to limit the results to photo entries. One major caveat: the older a posting is, the more vulnerable it is to any linked pages long ago having disappeared. This is especially true, as you might guess, for news citations.
