“Transparent Beans” — I haven’t had to buy coffee beans for several weeks. During my weekly grocery shopping today, I bought a bag of sumatra and noticed the new coffee bean bags at Sunflower Farmers Market. Instead of the single line on which people write in the name of the beans, now the bags have a see-through window. Of course, being a coffee connoisseur that I am, I can tell that these beans are sumatra simply by looking at them through the window. (photo via my Flickr)

We’re certainly not in this world yet, and I’m not sure if we ever will be. Older generations (30+?) frequently think of the younger generation as a whole as being highly technologically and technically adept. My experience with college students always contradicts this conventional wisdom. The best analogy I can think of is the following: Most kids know how to use a VCR, but it’s still only a small subset that know how to program one. Most kids today know how to browse the web, but very few would know what an IP address is. [via xkcd]

Fun with Lady Liberty!

“Reserved Parking for Mercedes-Benz Owners” — Wow. I guess they can do this because it’s the special luxury section of the parking lot at the James Brown Arena in Augusta, GA. I shot it as a graffiti for @dailyshoot #ds173. Technically it’s not, but it might as well be.
