The day’s gotten strangely complicated — I went from doing jury duty in Inglewood to eating organic eggs and pancakes in Swingers in Hollywood. Thus, this is the first post of the day. Does anyone know if there’s a booth with an electric outlet here?
>> Handmade eco-shopping made easy. Meet the Eco Etsy Street Team and cosa verde, a site that puts together a curated collection of eco-friendly, handmade items.
>> High fructose corn syrup made complicated. Remember how researchers found mercury in a bunch of popular foods made with high fructose corn syrup? Grist’s Tom Philpott now explores why the FDA’s been so reluctant to look into this food safety issue.

I just asked my sister (she’s probably your fave waitress at Swingers because she’s pretty awesome…), and she said that even though they have wireless, even letting anyone plug in a CELL PHONE there overloads their whole system and blows the computers out.
Sorry for the bad news, but at least you weren’t sitting next to a table with outlet access without knowing it! :)

Sad! Does this go for the Swingers in Santa Monica too? Thanks for the detailed info, Molly :)
