Opening the microlending system, via Seth Godin’s Blog
This is very, very interesting. The premise is that you give a small loan, perhaps $150, to a business in Africa (via Kiva — they find the entrepeneurs and follow up with them), and over 6-12 months, they repay you.

Cracker Barrel coming to Pell City, via Fark
Hardee-har-har!
Now, I was going to write a long post about how I call Cracker Barrel “The Bigot Barn” to anyone who suggests we eat there (which never happens, so really I just call it that to myself), but after searching the net, I found some interesting articles about […]
