"Askville.com" - Beta - The latest from Amazon.com - "Real answers from real people". Post a question and get answers. You can search for questions that need answering or search by answers. Kind of interesting - we will see if it's useful or just a time sink. Check it out for a while and see what happens.

"What the World eats" - interesting to see what others eat - and how much it costs. Interesting the mix between pre-made/pre-packaged food and the basic ingredients.  http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1626519,00.html

One of the books I am reading this week (I am reading 3 but this one is the most interesting) : Sit Down and Shut Up: Punk Rock Commentaries on Buddha, God, Truth, Sex, Death, and Dogen's Treasury of the Right Dharma Eye

 Very funny and somewhat instructive as well.  This Brad Warner guy has written another book called "Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies, & the Truth about Reality  which I have yet to read, but will probably  get. 

Check it out.
