Just curious...
Across the USA by Train for Just $213
So weird. I swear I posted about Derek Low's amazing breakdown of taking Amtrak across the United States on a budget, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in my archives here. Oh well, anyway, if you're a railfan or just interested in seeing the US without having to drive, this journey by Amtrak may be the way to go.
And recently Derek has offered to plan a similar trip for you for a fee of $49. That's pretty generous and quite amazing I think. I may have to do this soon.

That's all. I just wanted to put that out there.
Super 73 e-bike review
A company named Lithium Cycles has created a really cool looking e-bike called the Super 73 that I'd almost consider buying if it only were a bit cheaper. I give it a few years and I'm sure new battery technology will turn e-bikes into pretty affordable and amazing articles of transportation. I cannot wait. :)
OXO Steel POP Air-Tight Container
I was in Portland, Maine a couple of months ago and I visited a local cafe that stored their coffee beans in these Oxo Steel POP Containers. When I returned home, I decided to buy one for myself. It is one of the best things I've ever bought for my coffee setup. The single-button air-tight lid is so easy to use and doesn't require me to lean my body weight to push air out. Super satisfied with this purchase.
I bought the small size (.9 Quarts) but if you need larger versions OXO sells that too.
