That chrisdellavedova.com link isn’t working for me.

That NYT article from the Modern Gal was interesting. I too fear that people will get bogged down and burned out wondering if they should buy fresh orange juice or concentrate, as I have, or worrying about their Nalgene. The whole thing could be in danger of seeming overwhelming and overly complicated to a short-attention-span world.

Mickey — Thanks for the heads up on the broken link. The whole green noise thing is interesting. I think it’s given me a little kick in the pants to focus more on the simple and fun things. Because I don’t want to be a part of the burn out.
