Did you not listen when I said that you are at the mercy of the advertisers in a lot of bad ways? Here is a sample attention map of what a major website layout looks like in 2009. This is everything that a user sees when they first load the page. The areas shaded in red get the most immediate, direct attention; yellow is next; blue is last. It’s like going to the supermarket for milk and only milk… is it any surprise to you that DAIRY IS ALWAYS FARTHEST FROM THE ENTRANCE? Supermarkets are designed like that for a reason! And it’s not because of anything relating to customer efficiency!

Not sure what you’re going on about, but I get my food from a CSA (the C stands for community, Katie). Speaking of, here is this week’s haul, split between two people:

Sugar Snap Peas-1 LB
Garlic Scapes-4 each…this is the last of the scapes
Red Leaf Lettuce-1 head
Green Leaf Lettuce-1 head
Escarole-1 head
Silverado Swiss Chard-1 bunch
Summer Squash-2 pounds
Parsley-1 bunch
