I’m getting a little tired of this layout. It doesn’t lend itself to rapid updates, which is maybe why I don’t do them. Glenn Gould and discarded newspapers, outside the CBC Broadcast Centre, Toronto. Do any American tourists know what this is? Probably not, ’cause they’re too busy riding in rickshaws that have [...]
some light reading
The past few days I read two very interesting articles. One was called Power Steer and is about the production of beef in the US. It was pretty chilling, but very very well-written.
