Latest Numbers
"Schlotzsky's reports 40 percent of customers consider Wi-Fi and
Web browsing as factor in visiting: As the chain has expanded to 38
company-owned and franchise stores mostly in the South that offer
in-store free computer access and Wi-Fi, their latest market research
shows a significant uptick in awareness.
The company reported that 40 percent of customers surveyed
considered Wi-Fi and computer access a factor in their decision to
come to Schlotzsky's, while 6 percent said Wi-Fi access alone was why
they were there....
But the CEO wasn't a geek; he liked seeing entire families or
sports teams or groups of parents and kids come in and spent time
using the high-speed connection. It's important to recall that a small
but significant minority of Internet users have broadband; for the
rest, Schlotzsky's offering is a profound (and free) pleasure.... [Wi-Fi Networking

This screams libraries to me! We already provide the high-speed
access and the computers, so why is it so difficult for library
directors to understand the benefit of adding wireless to the mix?
Maybe we just need the financial and marketing resources to do
these kinds of surveys and promotions, but then it's a chicken and egg
scenario, isn't it? It doesn't really matter if wireless users are the
chicken or the egg, because they should be library users.

Tomato up?
Tomato up?
02/10/2004 02:47 AMWhile this recipe does not share anything in common with my Red Sox Cowboy Up Cookies, and I haven't heard anyone
telling the Patriots to "Tomato Up!", nonetheless I have crafted a
special tart in honor of my favorite football team: tarte Tatin
aux tomates. (And also to bring the a Super Bowl party.) I can't
take all the credit for it, since it was in large part inspired by a
recipe I found for Caramelized Tomato Tarts in a great new cookbook
(more about that soon).
But I love making tarte Tatin, a kind of French
upside-down apple pie with yummy caramel flavor. I combined what I saw
for the tomato tarts with my Tatin recipe, and voila! Tomato
tarte Tatin! It's baking now, so I've no idea yet if it's any good. If
it turns out OK, I'll post the recipe here.
Until then, Tomato Up you Patriots fans! Or, as my father so
eloquently signed off in an email to me earlier this week, "Go Pats
scratch out the Cats!"

Tomato Advice
Tomato Advice
03/13/2003 10:16 AMI spoke to my mother about growing tomatoes last night. Her advice:
Purchase the yummy-looking varieties, but also some early ones.
The
growing season in Maine is all too short, and a September frost
can
kill the late-bearing varieties. If this happens, you need to
pick all
the green tomatoes and take them inside, where they'll turn
red--but
never properly ripen. So if you want to be guaranteed that ripe
tomato
taste, you should plant at least one variety which ripens early.

The Amish Paste, Orange Banana and Glacier tomatoes look pretty
healthy
(perhaps a bit too tall). The Brandywine are still very short; I
received these from a friend, and I suspect they're a long-season
tomato. I'll need to transplant the tomatoes into the garden
sometime
in the next few days.

ongoing software
so that each and every image has descriptive text in both its
alt and
title attributes. This is
good accessibility practice
and should also make it possible for search engines to find my
pictures. But they can’t. The image
here, which is
in a file whose name, unhelpfully, is
IMGP0990.png, is
correctly labeled in both
title and
alt
attributes as “Sunlit cherry tomatoes on white-painted wood.” I
just now visited John Battelle’s
helpful list of search
engines and lots of them offered “image search” capabilities,
but not one turned that picture up when I searched for “sunlit
cherry tomatoes”. (Lots of them turn the page up when you do an
ordinary text search.) How hard can it be? I hereby promise that when
I find a credible general-purpose Web Image Search tool that leads me
to that picture via “sunlit cherry tomatoes”, I will publish a
rave review here and do my best to spread the word.

slice the
weeds off just below ground level. No bending, no digging, no
cramps--and it's fast.
