A guy named Ola in Norway is collecting one million giraffes and he needs them by the end of the year to win a bet. He’s got 824,025 of them so far (probably more by the time I click the “publish” button). The only rule is you can’t use a computer to make your giraffe(s). Here’s a video of him explaining why he wants a million of them. Anyways, I just sent him these two!

Edible Paradise is a blog about cooking seasonally from farmer’s markets in Monterey and Santa Cruz that I just added to my RSS Reader.

One of my favorite things about living in Bernal is that I can walk or ride my bike to the Alemany Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning. For less than $20 I can stock up on food for the week! I have my favorite vendors for various things. Like the mushroom stand…and the egg stand…the jumbo eggs from Alemany are so big that they have to wrap rubber bands around the recycled cartons they use to keep the eggs from falling out. I don’t know really know where these eggs come from though and was just thinking today that it would be nice if there were a site for Alemany where you could find out about all the different vendors and farms at the market. Some of them I think have been selling at Alemany for several generations!

I don’t think I’d want members of the royal family lounging in my teacup but still, these tea bags are ingenious! At least they are wearing clothes.

And while we are on the subject tea, this yellow submarine is also brilliant. I think the beatles would approve.

The other 162 bots live over here. (Like all of us, TikiRobot has a crazy uncle too…)

Hooray! Google Maps now tells you how to get to places by bike!

This is going to be at the Palace of Fine Arts on Wednesday and Thursday. It looks awesome. We should go!

Here’s a list of films that are playing (though I’m not sure which films are playing on which night).
