"Locavorism, that culinary buzzword, seems to be everywhere these days. But a restaurant’s dedication to regional cuisine can mean more than having a relationship with local farms and purveyors. Here are a few spots around the country that celebrate their stamping grounds in ways that go beyond ingredients."

Hey everyone! I'm SO excited to announce that today Geek & Sundry Vlogs launches! It's a new channel where our team and I have hand-picked vloggers to talk about all sorts of awesome stuff, from Comics to Jeff Lewis to thumb-wrestling...take a look and see!

And over the summer I'll be searching for a limited number to add to the channel as well, so check out my intro video for more deets!

Oh, and please SUBSCRIBE to the channel if you like this idea. It really helps to support these new talented people extra if you like them and share their videos, to allow their vlogs to grow from scratch. 

I really wanted to use my platform to help new voices out, this I think is the perfect way to do it :) Let me know what we're missing, what you want to hear about!

Llyn Foulkes - Private Concert by Arts Alive

What an awesome afternoon! Got to not only see the Llyn Foulkes exhibition at the Hammer Museum (for free), but got to see/hear two sets of his performance on The Machine and even got a chance to meet and thank him for his lifetime of work. A kindred spirit indeed.

After today, most of the show goes on to New York, but some of the pieces will be returning to their owners. Llyn melancholically commented that this show will probably be the last time he'll see this many of his works exhibited in one place.

It was much like being at the Rauschenberg combine retrospective curated a few years ago at the MOCA. That volume of pieces had never been exhibited together, either. At least I got to meet the artist this time!

(The Dark Bob was kind enough to let me con him into getting in a photo with him and Llyn.)

Earth's Richat Structure
Image Credit: +NASA/GSFC/METI/Japan Space Systems, and U.S./Japan ASTER Science Team
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130519.html

What on Earth is that? The Richat Structure in the Sahara Desert of Mauritania is easily visible from space because it is nearly 50 kilometers across. Once thought to be an impact crater, the Richat Structure's flat middle and lack of shock-altered rock indicates otherwise. The possibility that the Richat Structure was formed by a volcanic eruption also seems improbable because of the lack of a dome of igneous or volcanic rock. Rather, the layered sedimentary rock of the Richat structure is now thought by many to have been caused by uplifted rock sculpted by erosion. The above image was captured by the ASTER instruments onboard the orbiting orbiting Terra satellite. Why the Richat Structure is nearly circular remains a... more »

The city wears a slouch hat is one of those Cage works that many know about, but few have actually heard. Commissioned by CBS' "Columbia Workshop" to accompany a radio play by "Beat" poet/writer Kenneth Patchen--a surreal script centered around a mysterious drifter known as "The Voice" and his encounters with various characters of the urban landscape. Cage's music aptly fits Patchen's texts, scored for "sound orchestra" of 5 percussionists along with live and recorded sound effects, revealing Cage's gift for orchestrating the timbres of percussion. One can only imagine what unsuspecting families, seated around the radio for an evening's entertainment, made of this bizarre script and rambunctious music in 1942!

New York City is trying to lead the way in public health initiatives. Part of this initiative is city wide bike share program. The catch is you can only ride the bike if you are less than 260 pounds, meaning the people who need to bike the most are banned from the program.
...
The reason for the ban is wear and tear on the bikes. Yet a number of cyclists and bike shop owners have said that that the hefty frames on the bikes used in the program should be adequate to support someone who weighs 260 pounds. In any event, it turns out that DC and Boston have similar weight policies for their city wide bike share programs.

NYC doubles fines for electric bike riding to $1K
Electric bikes have been illegal in the entire state of New York since 2004. The reason that NYC is stepping up the fine is due to supposed numerous complaints of pedestrians nearly being hit on the congested NYC streets, and bike lanes, by delivery men using electric bikes which can reach speeds up to 30 miles per hour. David Pollack from the Committee for Taxi Safety went so far to say the bikes “a menace to little children” and a “menace to society”.
