BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL

Dad and I drove south to Poplarville, MS for their annual Blueberry Festival. The town transformed itself into a showcase for more than just berries. Festival goers could sample many regional flavors, arts and crafts, and great music. The downside? Battling the MS Summer sun was a full-time job. Visit my flickr stream to see more photos of our day.

If you could found a festival in your hometown, what would it celebrate?

NET NEUTRALITY: DON'T MAKE MOBY TACKLE YOU

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPS IN CONGRESS

This issue is no joke. The more I read about Net Neutrality, the more I realise that the issue is one of free speech and economic competition. If internet service providers are allowed to pick and choose which sites get decent bandwidth, then all the small mom & pop online stores and all the small blogs and news sources would be forced offline. Imagine an internet with only big-name retailers and big-wig broadcasters! That's not the future I want for myself and my family!
