Passages: Paul Newman, 1925-2008

Film legend, race-car driver, popcorn impresario. Activist, philanthropist, and all around lucky guy.

I mention this because — as much as I’m a fan of his work on screen — I’m downright grateful that he leant his name and likeness to his daughter’s brand, Newman’s Own Organics, and in the process brought his bazillion-lumen star power to Fair Trade and Organic coffee. He made corporate philanthropy cool.

Thanks, Paul. For everything.

Hello.

Bloggle is the online playground of Doug Cadmus, a usability guy, writer, photographer and sometime dramatist who moved to Vermont for the coffee. When not writing, reading or walking his old, blind golden retriever, he roasts coffee in his garage and is the Web Guy for Green Mountain Coffee in Waterbury, VT.

- @bgbarcus There isn't a positive spin. "Mommy doesn't like books" is a snapshot view of what's wrong with American families, I think. Sad. 2008/11/17

- Overheard: A little girl studies a book. Handing it to her mother she's told, "Mommy doesn't like books... it's your Aunt Rosie who reads." 2008/11/16
Words, words, words.
