QUICK NOTES JUSTICE

  • FJ HOUSE member Dylan Sittig did some work with Food Forward this weekend, an organization that harvests unused fruit from participating private owners and redistributes it to local charities.  Maybe he can tell you more about it in the future.
  • Considerable work has been done to the FJ GARDEN.  Look for photos and updates in the future.
  • The New York Times has published two interesting articles about Apple and the cost of foreign manufacturing.  First was their unsettling look at the dim future of American technology manufacturing, followed by an equally dark look at the human costs of Apple's Chinese production.  Both are interesting looks at the other side of a company that's generally regarded to be not evil, and reveal the high costs of affordable luxury items.  
  • On a similar note, awesome blog Well Spent posted a piece called Why Clothes Cost What They Do, which explains why its worth it to pay more for quality.  It compiles the commentary of some of the coolest designers and manufacturers out there, including another brilliant exposition from American hero Eunice Lee.  Fellow Minnesotan Kat McMillan (from Pierrepont Hicks) hits another one home in the comments section.  Well Spent have also put out a feature on American-made slippers, something I didn't believe to exist until two minutes ago.
  • I had a really good orange for breakfast this morning.
