If you've been out at cultural events in Orlando in 2009, there's a good chance you'll see a man looking down at his sketchbook with his watercolors out. He's Thomas Thorspecken, and he's drawing and painting the scene around him. Check his blog in a few days and see the results.
We're back together for another news-based DrupalEasy podcast covering some of the latest Drupal-related (and sometimes not-so-related) happenings in the Drupal community. Join Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and myself (Mike Anello) as we discuss Opera Unite, the next version of Drupal and CCK, an upcoming Drupal-powered intranet package. As always, we also make our Picks of the Week and Site of the Week.

In the ground floor of an otherwise trendy (and empty) condominium building in College Park, there is a shining beam of local light called Harmoni Artisan Meal Market. They are known to host many local events, most recently was a Slow Food Pot-Luck Dinner.
We caught up with blogger/foodie/activist Rachel Weidinger, who also happens to be an expert preserver, at her Homegrown Village booth at MakerFaire 2009 in San Mateo, California. She showed us how to preserve fresh lemons with salt so they will last a year and taste delicious added to omelets, hummus, salads and pasta:
Special thanks to Homegrown.org and FarmAid for putting on this great event! You can fiind more tips from Rachel on her blog AKitchenOfHerOwn.com or follow her on Twitter @Rachelannyes.
Tomorrow morning at 8AM, people in 60 cities all over the world will get together for coffee and conversation, continuing a 3-year tradition that started with 2 trendsetters in New York who decided to have good coffee and conversation in real life instead of online. In Orlando, we hold Likemind at the Drunken Monkey, one of the best coffee shops in town, every third Friday of the month. Watch the twitters about likemind scroll by today and tomorrow to see all the other people and places that get involved in this international affair.
Emma Jane Hogbin and Konstantin Kaefer recently finished the book titled Front End Drupal. Emma reveals a little about the book, shares stories about knitting, conferences, and the open source scene.
I saw this on the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals site - you can get in the lottery for several festivals and have guaranteed tour dates in September if you apply through CAFF's Touring Lottery.
This post was actually written as a draft back in February, but it seemed silly to blog about the 2010 festival circuit before the 2009 festival had started.
The fine folks at Icebar Orlando (dot com) invited us to do our podcast from their "Fire Lounge" - who are we to turn down an invite from Orlando's coolest bar (bad pun, I can't help myself)? We had a great discussion about the number of content types on Drupal sites, our (equal) love for designers, and a bunch of other Drupal news from the last 2 weeks.
