The winter, she continues

So. Other than the 15 hours of darkness a day causing me to be overly tired lately (thank god we're past the solstice), things have been pretty good lately. Did a lot of walking, a lot of work for my classes, and picked up some nifty books from the library.

On the down-side, my car's engine has a small oil leak. On the up-side, it's covered by the warranty, so I'm not going to be paying for it.

And, as a measure against the relative lack of anything useful to say today, a few links I want to remember, with pretty much no unifying theme:
- Renting vs. buying: The realities of home-ownership
- An introduction to square-foot gardening
- Copyblogger
- What the world eats -- a really cool photo-journalism series of 15 pictures: each of them is a family sitting next to all the food they eat in a single week. The photographer went to 30 different countries to do this, from Australia to Chad to Japan. It's very, very cool.

Hiho,

If you take the "what the world eats" thing literally, then some of the pictures are scary. For example:



What is that strange animal at the bottom left, and how do they prepare it? :)

I can only assume they don't eat the stuffed animals.

Hiho,

I assume nothing. If they put it in the picture... Heck, I'm wondering about the kid on the sofa too now. ;)

Cu,
Andrew
