Greg from Pages Within bartered MP3s for syrup.
So, last week marked the height of sugaring season here in Vermont, andthat meant that everywhere you drove in the state you could find smokebillowing from the sides of mountains, where it before seemd impossiblethat houses even existed. As I rode my bike to school last week, Icould swear I could smell cooking sap mixed with woodsmoke everywhere.
Ah, Vermont.

Brian Brown of iBurlington finally noticed the free stand-alone Weekend section that the Burlington Free Press has been printing and plugging since the end of last year, and he predicts Seven Days' swift demise.
Writes Brian:
I am convinced they can not survive more than a couple of years now that the Free Press has decided to do something about them.
Thanks, Charity, for the tip.

Evslin's got a summary of winners and links to stories about the contest from the Guardian and USA Today at his blog, Fractals of Change.
