An App That Locates All the Farmers Markets Near You

I’m feelin’ pretty swell to get a little bit of press coverage for the farmers market web app that I built.

Allow me to present bosfarmers.com.

After frustration with the formatting of existing websites that list Boston area farmers markets, I decided to take thing into my own hands. I think it’s pretty nifty & helpful, maybe you will too.

The Nerdy Part: it’s made up of static pages, which are generated once a day using shell scripts, command line php scripts (yes, those do exist & they are kind of monstrous), with a MySQL database as the data store.

The owner of the Worcester funeral home holding the body of accused marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev expects to find a cemetery to bury Tsarnaev by Monday.

But Peter Stefan, owner of the Worcester funeral home, says his job is to bury people, not to judge them.

“You can’t pick and choose. If you come to me and say your Uncle Freddy murdered ten members of your family what do I say to you? ‘I can’t help you because I don’t do murderers’ funerals?’” Stefan said. ” The only difference is this has more notoriety. Also I can’t separate the sins from the sinners — it doesn’t work.”

Bless this man for bringing some dignity to the table. And shame on those who think otherwise. I don’t see much difference between those holding signs reading, “Bury the garbage in the landfill,” and the Westboro Baptist Church. Not all of us deserve freedom, but even the worst of us deserve dignity.
