Instead of buying cool stuff for baby, I just like to look at it online. At least this way I can have fun dreaming without the guilt of contributing to consumerism and landfills. (Onesie courtesy of InkydinkTees)

Uglys

Wanna dress your baby in Che tanks, Ramones concert tees, record player retro raglans and Trumpette sneaker–socks? You decide if his genetic marker for cool came from the X or the Y (probably both!), but he’s a Babesta for sure if he snuggles up with Ugly Dolls like this one.

The 100-Mile Diet

Their 100-mile diet began as a way to reduce dependence on the fossil fuels sucked up by the conventional food system, which sees food travel an average of at least 1,500 miles from farm to plate. But in the end, Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon realized that what began as a struggle slowly transformed into one of the deepest pleasures of their lives. For the first time they felt connected to the people and the places that sustain them.

Tons of Free Music

The Daytrotter Sessions: Recorded live at Futureappletree Studio One in downtown Rock Island, Ill. Some of the biggest indie bands swing by the studio, e.g. Cold War Kids, Of Montreal, Dr. Dog, and more, swing by the studio to use borrowed instruments, play with their touring mates, and leave behind four absolutely collectible songs (downloadable for free! and they keep archives so you don't have to check in every week) that often impart on whomever listens to them the true intensity that these musicians put into their art, sometimes with more clarity than they do when they have months to tinker with overdubs and experiments.
