Most of my content is now going to show up at tumble.chrisjohanesen.com and not here. The new Tumblr 3.0 is really sweet. So beautifully simple, elegently powerful.
This is a nice video on eating locally, but how can you talk about reducing our food footprint without talking about how much more energy goes into putting meat vs. vegetables on your plate? Shipping food via truck is actually a fairly energy efficient way to distribute food, at least when you compare it to the […]
Is it just me, or does my commute to the office from the WTC Path station remind you of one of those Family Circus maps? But I’m pretty sure it’s the most direct route, measuring just under a mile. Oh yeah, I used the new Google Mapplets to measure the route. Here’s my bike ride […]
There’s another reason to like Obama. Turns out he’s a fairly accomplished doodler.

Although I consider myself left of Hillary Clinton, I think her presidency would be one of the best things that could happen to America. For one, it would be monumental to have a woman president. And what’s more, most of her staff consists of women. She wouldn’t be a puppet of the male political establishment […]
