Unique technology for third-world farmers

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ June 28, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Photon Courier has an excellent summary of this Forbes article, “Trickle-Up Economics”. The article features International Development Enterprises, which is doing some really great things regarding getting life-improving technology to poor third-world farmers.
Photon Courier also makes a very good point I’d like to highlight:
Obviously, technologies such as those being pursued by Paul Polak and [...]

The joys of camping

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ June 27, 2005 ⋅ One comment

I like to camp. We went some last summer and decided we really needed to camp more this year, so this last weekend was the start of our 2005 camping season! We went up Saturday after church, and had a nice evening… and then we went to bed (cue some music that alerts [...]

Morbid curiosity

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ June 19, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Steve, Don’t Eat It! is an aptly-titled gallery of culinary nastiness. There’s some foul language (fair warning) but the food is fouler. You know you want to look…

Hahahaha!

Okay, this is probably not the funniest thing in the whole world… but I’m hard pressed to come up with anything better. Or maybe it’s just Friday Afternoon Syndrome.
Spamusement! Poorly-drawn cartoons inspired by actual spam subject lines!

Yahoo! 360? invites for the asking

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ May 31, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Gmail invites are so 2004. Yahoo! has learned something from watching the swarming masses, though, and is releasing its Yahoo! 360? service in the same way. It’s actually not that exciting (not nearly as revolutionary as Gmail, certainly) but it’s got some real potential, especially once they implement the promised RSS feeding.
In any [...]

New blogs

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ May 31, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s blog-o-mania around here! I have two new blogs and Daniel has one (yes, it’s true! He’s joined our modern blogging revolution!), and it’s likely that I’ll be starting a couple more in the months to come. It may turn out to be counterproductive to be publishing in so many different places, [...]

Disturbing information

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ May 26, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve never been much of a fan of Planned Parenthood (I know, shocking in a conservative) but I was distressed to read this post about “The Planned Parenthood Child Sex Abuse Cover-up.” I found the post itself to be somewhat confusingly written but the information seems to be factual and based on reputable numbers.

What Color Eyes Would Your Children Have?

What Color Eyes Would Your Children Have?
Kind of fun, although I’ll have to wait until Daniel gets home to actually find out, because I don’t know his parents’ eye colors.

State of mind

By Sarah Lewis ⋅ April 25, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

“To my mind, the idea that doing dishes is unpleasant can occur only when you aren’t doing them. Once you are standing in front of the sink with your sleeves rolled up and your hands in warm water, it really isn’t so bad. I enjoy taking my time with each dish, being fully aware of [...]

Oh, yeah…

I didn’t forget about the flash fiction thing. (Well, yes, actually, I did, but just for a couple of days. It’s not a long term sort of forgetting.) I’ll post one soon. In the meantime, feel free to submit your own.
