Local Kid Makes Good

Jacob Applebaum used to frequent Santa Rosa Food Not Bombs, where I sometimes ribbed him about using the royal "we" to describe the project. He has spent the past year consistently impressing me, first cruising to Iraq and delievering some of the best technerd on the streets blogging I've ever read, now he's in NOLA working his ass off to document the scene and improve the quality of life of the holdouts. He grew up alright. To mar myself with an odious retro slogans: "Jacob Applebaum, live like him"
