The other day some friends from work and I tried out a relatively new BBQ restaurant on our lunch hour. And when I say restaurant I mean “trailer of awesomeness.” Yes, Franklin Barbecue, like a great deal of Austin’s culinary culture, is a food cart in a parking lot and this cart delivers.
Well, they don’t actually deliver, and get there early because the food sells out in hours.
…with laundry.
Whether it’s organizing Westboro Baptist Church counter protests or the constant harassment of Justin Bieber, it’s becoming evident that the internet sub-culture is having a growing impact on the world.
Today we learned the company that owns Reddit, Conde Nast, has taken a stance against profiting on ads placed by groups that support California’s Prop. 19. As a backlash, Reddit readers are submitting images, text and stories in mass promoting the new bill and subsequently voting to increase their popularity (and as a result, visibility). I can only imagine how much more pro-marijuana imagery and content there is now than if they had let the ads run; though, now the press is free.
The internet generation is growing up, and it’s only a matter of time before we are in a position to use this unity and intelligence as a force for positive change (oh, and the occasional prank).
…mediocrity is forever.
