When in Prague, Mucha’s Slav Epic is well worth the trek. And so is the Communist museum (ironically wedged between a McDonalds and a Casino).
Ai Weiwei
Were you born in the year of the Jack?

What’s inside Ai Weiwei?

And then there is what Ai Weiwei is fighting against. Bone headed Communist oppression.

Watch the film about the Velvet Revolution. Long live Czech freedom and democracy!

The fantastic Firehouse Gallery in Berryville today featured a NYTimes best selling book authored by our neighbor, and a trunk show of local art featuring sustainability. Also salami.
Books on Sustainable Farming by Forrest Pritchard
Forrest Pritchard’s new book Growing Tomorrow is still climbing up the best seller charts. Forrest is a neighbor and a friend. (See a video conversation featured here on apothecaryshed featuring Forrest’s previous book, Gaining Ground.)
Art by Keith Patterson
Buzz by Firehouse Gallery
Both Keith and Kelli Patterson are outstanding artists. But we’ll let you judge that for yourself.

politics, who knows democracy in action, germany, nazi rally, ndp party, neo-nazi, politics, regensburg, riot police, video 1 Comment
On a recent trip to Regensburg, Germany (two weeks before the national elections there), I watched the townspeople reject the neo-Nazi NDP party idiots vociferously. The police were present in great numbers protecting the Nazi’s from being ridden out of town on a rail.
Probably the most interesting phenomenon was when all of the church bells in town were rung at once to drown out the Nazi rally.
I took some video.

Hey NSA! Stop collecting my trap and trace, pen register, email header, stoplight camera data. You may not be Big Brother, but I want you out of my business. How the hell can an idiot like Snowden have root access to your ultra classified database? You guys are too stupid to control the pile.

Our neighbor Forrest Pritchard just published a book. Amy stole it, so I have not read it yet (wish me luck getting it back), but my bet is it is both entertaining and clear headed. I thumbed through it today after our copy arrived, and I can’t wait to read it. Sustainable agriculture, organic farming, ecological stewardship, and local food; what’s not to like? We salute you Forrest.

Just did live Sunday morning talk show TV on the Up with Chris Hayes show. Boy was that fun.
Here is a link to the segment itself.
Here’s what the remote studio in DC looks like.

Mr smiley face is who you address. NY people don’t look like this!
The green room is more like a Marriott lobby than we TV stars care to admit. Please don’t tell anybody.
The Green Room.
Marriott or TV studio? You decide.

Or somesuch.
One of our esteemed mad scientists is slated to be a guest on MSNBC’s “Up With Chris Hayes” tomorrow morning (Sunday 2.24) 9:20-10:00am EST. They wanted to fly the entire apothecary shed to NY for the show, but the plan now is to do this from the DC studios. We’ll be talking about Cyber War.
Ride em cowboy.
You can bet we will harp on software security!
