Soft-serve gets a makeover at upscale ice cream joints. Think spiced cantaloupe topping, balsalmic cherries, a “creamsicle” of white nectarine granita and jasmine tea soft-serve.

The Slow Food movement plans a Labor Day Slow Food Nation festival, to be the “Woodstock” of food festivals. Hope they bring more porta-potties than the original.

The Rutgers Tomato Project brings back the Jersey tomato.

The Minimalist does a no-bake summer cheesecake with blueberries.

Some New Yorkers are apparently unable or unwilling to leave their own neighborhoods for dinner.

Move over, 2012. 2010 is up first, and Aspen Optics is asserting that it’ll be a banner year for fiber. Granted, we’re taking all of this pretty lightly given the industry that it’s in, but nevertheless, said company is proclaiming that FTTH (fiber to the home) will soon be known as FTEH (fiber to every home) while FTTO (fiber to the office) will morph into FTEO (fiber to every office). The proclamation does note that we’re talking about “developed nations” here, and the release does tend to focus on the UAE in particular, but this provides good fodder for discussion if nothing else. Do you see fiber booming in just 18 months? We’re guessing it’ll take a few more years beyond that for it to really make a play for significant cable market share, but hey, we’d love to be wrong.

There’s been a lot of head-scratching about the exact cause of the meteoric rise in price for a barrel of oil. Are speculators driving it to turn a quick buck? Is it the weakening value of the U.S. dollar? How about increaded worldwide demand? Chances are, all those forces are playing a part in the rise of fuel prices, and no single solution is likely to fix the problem.

Just as it was starting to look like prices would rise on a daily basis for the rest of eternity, the price of a barrel of oil dropped by $16 from Tuesday to Thursday. Economists point to the dismal economic and inflation news as a main factor for the drop. All we know is that ever since gas got more expensive, everything else started to follow suit. That leads us to spend less on things that we don’t absolutely need, which probably isn’t good for the economy.

With news of the large drop in the price of a barrel of crude, Wall Street got all excited and responded with a couple days of very positive gains in the stock market. Good news, right? Well, oil jumped by over $2 on Friday morning alone, so we’ll have to see. Is the $4 per gallon nightmare almost over? Probably not, but we can hope.

THAXT7’s orange and white tabby kitty, Ben takes a well deserved break after a long rehearsal for his New Year’s Eve gig.

This accomplished bass player is definately a “hip” cat. I wish I could attend this sold- out event.

Ben asked me to share his best wishes to all for a happy and SAFE Mew Year.
