Julio Ojeda-Zapata, Pioneer Press


> When Apple first began selling its pioneering personal computers in the late 1970s, its first batch of machines went to Team Electronics in the Twin Cities.

> Team Electronics eventually morphed into FirstTech, a Minneapolis tech dealer that has prided itself on being the world's first Apple reseller -- and being symbiotically associated with the Cupertino, Calif.-based personal-technology giant.

> Soon, though, FirstTech will be no more.

*** The Edible Atlas: Around The World In 39 Cuisines – Review ***
<http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/20/edible-atlas-around-world-cuisines-review>
Sam Leith, The Guardian


> Here is a nice idea for a cookery book, amiably executed and attractively plated up. Mina Holland has produced what you'd hesitate to call a whistle-stop tour – perhaps the metaphor should be a dim sum or tapas-style feast – of a number of the world's different cuisines. She is interested in how these styles of cooking draw on local ingredients and traditions, they way they sit in the culture and, above all, the way in which they have cross-fertilised with other food cultures. "Food typifies everything that is different about another culture and gives the most authentic insight into how people live," she writes on the first page of her introduction, which is a bit of an overstatement but gives a flavour of the project.




*** The History Of The Veggie Burger ***
<http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/history-veggie-burger-180950163/?no-ist>
K. Annabelle Smith, Smithsonian Magazine


> The London-based natural food restaurant owner called it the “VegeBurger” when it first hit the market. Though recipes for a “vegetable burger” without meat have been cited in print as early as 1969, when Sams released his product in 1982, the word “Vege” or what Americans now know as “veggie,” was a relatively new thing—in fact, it didn’t enter the lexicon until the late ’70s.




*** A 26-Story History Of San Francisco ***

Alexis C. Madrigal, The Atlantic


> This is the story of 140 New Montgomery, but the building is also a way of thinking about the history and future of the city.
