I love that place. Especially on Wednesdays. You'll be hard pressed to find another farmers market that has so much abundance of fresh, top quality organic produce than here, year-round. You also never know who you're going to see.
This morning I was shopping at the usual purveyors and who else was right next to me but James Beard award winning chef Suzanne Goin with camera crew. Suzanne is the executive chef/owner of Lucques and A.O.C. Some of you Top Chef fans might recognize her from Season 2 where she was a guest judge.

I walked down the way to the place where I usually buy my asparagus and then Giada DiLaurentis was standing right next to me, looking at zucchini blossoms and filming one of her shows on the Food Network. So, I might be in one of her shows for half a second. I haven't watched anything on the FN for years, so I'll never get to see it :)
Maybe I'll put up some camera phone pics later.

Craziness. The line was about 2 blocks long when I arrived at the gallery last night around 9pm. Artists got in right away. Here's a short recap of the show on Joystiq's website:http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/15/joyst ... -am-8-bit/
Oh and my piece sold, which was great.
Here's another from Kotaku:

I was watching the live stream from Beijing for the Mens 96k Greco tournament and Karam Gaber lost to Elis Guri of Albania in the 1/8 bracket!
Very, very close match, went to the 3rd round and Guri squeaked by Gaber by one point. I'm hoping Adam Wheeler from the US gets bronze since the rest of the US Greco guys are out of contention.
Hopefully the US freestyle team does much better.

I just saw some pretty nice ground technique from a Judoka from Montenegro....yes, LIVE and streaming from Beijing on nbcolympics.com!
Blue(Montenegro) judoka with arm triangle(choke) in place, escaping from half guard.
Blue in side mount, with arm triangle fully applied, White taps. Ippon for Blue!
I do wish that in sport judo nowadays that they did let the judokas show more ground work. There are so many opportunities for different submissions that the officials don't let develop. In the case above, Blue was trying to sweep White to expose the back and get points, but switched right away to the arm triangle.
