Liptons, whose Red Berries fruit tea comes in a nylon mesh teabag with a nylon string, tyvek tag and a box twice the size it needs to be.

Sustainability fail.

Nasty, bland tea, too.

OpenStreetMap *Routable* on Garmin

Anger is an energy: I had such a rotten day that I dove into this all evening and have a nice toolchain (with Majel Barrett sound effects) for making the awesomeness that is OSM routable.  The routable functionality (that's where the GPS can follow roads instead of striking out as the crow flies) is pretty new and beta for OSM, and I'm dead chuffed to have got this working.  The UK & Ireland Routable Topo map file will be available from ravenfamily.org/andyg/maps from midnight-thirty.
