They may still be working out logistical kinks, but our soba was as delicious as ever.

Shopping on eBay's and its New look


As reported by Mashables, Web 1.0 mainstay eBay has unveiled a new company logo, ditching the floating letters for a more traditional, simple font, but with the same color scheme.
In a note on its site, eBay president Devin Wenig says the new logo is part of its effort to reinvent the 17-year-old brand and create a new eBay. Wenig says the site today offers a “cleaner” and “more consistent” experience than before and that the crisp letters in the logo reflect that. Retaining the color palette was important, however, since they represent eBay’s “connected and diverse” community of buyers and sellers, he wrote.
