Technology and the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails

Most people, I suppose, keep some sort of reading materials in the loo. In my household a rotation of sales catalogs from Urban Outfitters, Free People and Pottery Barn, Martha Steward's Living and Sierra are the meat of commode reading.

This morning, mid way through Sierra I noticed a small announcement from The Pennsylvania State University Cooperative Extension-Lehigh. They have designed and made available publicly an ap (for iPhone and iPad-sorry other smart phone users). Functioning much like other "finder" aps, you can find farm fresh foods  by entering location and mileage range.

What fun the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails can be with such an ap. As you travel from piece to piece your travels can be intersected with apple picking, fresh churned ice cream, farmers markets, Christmas tree farms and farm stands.
