"Kenya’s Chalbi Desert is a bleak, forbidding stretch of coarse sand and ash-gray ridges broken by clusters of tiny huts. It is also one of the windiest places on Earth, experts say, and it soon will be the site of Africa’s largest wind farm… When completed in 2012, the wind farm is expected to boost the power supply in this nation by almost 30 percent."

Earlier this fall, a little shockwave of terror zipped through the foodie Web: We were facing a canned pumpkin shortage. Local news stations ran stories explaining how poor weather conditions the previous year had led to smaller crops. Bloggers followed up with jokey posts about hoarding. Commenters on Serious Eats replied to the news with statements like, “I had to go to 3 stores before I found pumpkin last week. I bought 4 cans, but now I’m going back to buy 4 more!” and “Oh no I love pumpkin pie…im gonna have to go stock up before all the other pumpkin pie fiends find out.” But only one commenter said what I would’ve thought to be obvious and will paraphrase as follows: “Dudes, just a cook a pumpkin.”
Gillian Welch sings “Black Star” at Bonnaroo 2007. Still one of my favorite Radiohead covers, and the only Gillian Welch song I own. I like the other stuff I’ve heard from her, just not enough to buy an album.

Sarah, you’re the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. And you’re beautiful, you’re smart, you laugh at all of my stupid jokes, and you have this horrible habit of constantly saving my life. The truth is, you’re everything I thought I’ve always wanted and more.
Still from Shall We Dance, my favorite Fred & Ginger film. Here’s how big a fan I am of Fred Astaire: in high school, I had a still of him dancing on the ceiling in Royal Wedding up in my locker.

So I missed this thing, and have only seen the reactions from people I follow. I had to actually google “tumblr proposal” to see what all the fuss was about.
