The Big Here Quiz - Kevin Kelly
How knowledgeable are you about where you live? How aware are you of your home’s greater place among the world?
Kevin Kelly’s blog features a fascinating quiz to test these questions, and get you thinking about how well you understand the greater context of the place you call home.
If you’re like me you’ll probably score very low on the quiz, but I loved how it made me consider some of the “big picture” questions about things we have the luxury of ignoring in the modern world. Here’s a couple intriguing questions from the list:
- “Where does your electric power come from and how is it generated?”
- “Where does the pollution in your air come from?”

Eat This Much
Website
We’ve posted a few recipe/food websites before, and this one might be our favorite. Simply enter the number of calories and number of meals you want to eat in a day, and the site will spit out an entire day’s worth of meals/recipes for you.
The site has a bunch of extra features like auto-meal planning if you make an account, but the home page alone is a great source of ideas. The screenshot below shows the result after I spent about 3 seconds on the inputs.
We love useful websites that are easy to use, and this page does just that, enjoy!

Poll Question of the Week:
Last week’s poll results:
Pizza was the big winner last week! With beer and pasta tied for runner-up. Lots of props to whoever submitted PBJ as their top choice, I can’t say I agree, but I’m happy there’s someone out there getting so much consistent joy out of PB&Js.
