In response to Marco’s post.
Are you sure you’re using Firefox 3? It doesn’t seem any more cluttered than Safari. Yes, it’s stupid that they made it look nothing like any other OS X windows, but the toolbars, etc. look virtually identical.

And several add-ons do not work with FF3. Simple ones like Delicious and Digg and Stumble Upon.

Many fixes have to be made using the config tool. I do not like 12 “suggestions” for every letter I type.

FF3 will take some getting used to, but I am tumbling this using Safari and no, I do not see many similarities with FF3.

The Mason Dixon Wine
Though I don’t typically select my wine based on its carbon intensity, I found this study by Dr. Vino pretty interesting.
Tyler Colman, a PhD and wine blogger, examined the carbon footprint of wine and found that a “green” line exists, as shown above. For all states West of the line, it is more carbon efficient to consume wine trucked from California. For all states East of the line, it is more efficient to consumer wine bottled from France. Though a Bordeaux comes from a different continent, efficiencies in container shipping and shorter truck routes make it more efficient than trucking wine from Napa across the United States.
You can check out the study, “Red, White and ‘Green’: The Cost of Carbon in the Global Wine Trade” by Tyler Colman and Pablo Paster for more information.
