Adventures with iMovie
Last week was an audio/video adventure. Editing numerous interviews for a client, I became reacquainted with iMovie. In my pre-Mac days (translation: before I ate the metaphorical Apple), I would use whatever software I could find to edit videos. When I lived in St. Lucia in 2001, I used Adobe Premiere to edit/render videos. Oftentimes the power would go out, my laptop battery would run out of juice, and I would have to start over from scratch. It wasn't exactly a delightful editing process. However, I did learn quite a bit from those days of transferring clips from a tape-based camera to a computer and slogging my way through…I literally learned while on the go.

Why in an era when “no” is being said so often is this news?
Grad Student's Guide to Good Tea
Look, coffee is great and all, but it just doesn’t hold a candle to the variety and flexibility of tea. I am a dyed in the wool tea drinker, and I can't write a word without a cuppa. But tea can be tricky; just choosing the generic bagged tea off the shelf rarely results in a triumphant tea experience. Recently, we at GradHacker have posted guides for wine and coffee, and it is high time that delicious teas were given their due.
Ag ec as a lens on economic sustainability
OK, I'm prejudiced. I don't much care for factory-raised meat (or produce, for that matter). That's one of the reasons why I have a big freezer in the garage. (Chest type. Energy efficient. In the unheated garage so that five months out of the year it uses almost no electricity at all.)
