Xeni Jardin is a long-time contributor and co-editor of the mighty BoingBoing. She's a Contributing Writer for Wired and you can also hear her quite often on your radio if its tuned into .
Recently she traveled to Guatemala (just getting back home this week) and blogged about it beautifully onher travel blog.
Because she's perfect, when we asked her to compile a list, she chose "Top ten places to buy things that consume electricity in LA" whose title alone made us smile.
