11:17a	Fruit News This sounds like a great idea. I grew up with a number of fruit trees in my backyard, and there was always too much fruit to eat, and it just kept coming.

Good times. Neighbor, Can You Spare a Plum? All over the country, the underground fruit economy is growing. At new Web sites like neighborhoodfruit.com and veggietrader.com, fruit seekers can find public mulberry patches in Pennsylvania and neighbors willing to trade blackberries in Oklahoma.

In less great news, the Alien reboot is plagued with crazy. (note: I heard this was a prequel, not a reboot, which is kinda important given the awesomeness of Weaver-as-Ripley.) In casting news, "Battlestar Galactica" actress Katee Sackhoff is joining the cast of the eighth season of Fox’s "24" as a data analyst. Um. You mean "data analyst," right? Because there's no way Starbuck is sitting behind a desk on 24. (1 Comment | Comment on this)
