Northampton Top Ten #9: The Farmer’s Market
Every Saturday from 7:00 to 12:30 in the morning local farmers set up a small market on Gothic Street. Northampton’s Farmers’ Market is a great opportunity to buy local produce in season and take an morning stroll downtown. Although small, the market has a reputation of selling quality products that include fruits, veggies, herbs, maple syrup, baked goods, dairy and eggs among others.
For more information on the market visit the CISA (Community Involved in Sustainable Agriculture) website.

iMockups: iPad App Review
By Jason, project manager at Skytemple
I really enjoyed working with this program in spite of some of it’s limitations.
iMockups features a robust library of graphics that can be scaled, rotated, and dragged to any point on the canvas. Canvases can be copied, so a designer can depict a design as buttons and drop-downs are clicked. And with multiple projects these canvases fall under, it is impossible to lose track of your work.
However, without being able to flip or rotate graphics, I was unable to depict some of the concepts I was visualizing. The other issue I had was due to the fact that the graphics aren’t vector based; the larger you scale a button or a shape, the more distorted it becomes.
While some limitations were frustrating, the features more than make up for any functions that were absent from this version. In future revisions, I’d love to see the library expanded further, the graphics vectorized, and allowing for graphics to be flipped and rotated.

10 things we like about Northampton
Skytemple’s offices are located in downtown Northampton, Massachusetts. A small but vibrant town located in the Pioneer Valley,
Northampton has a lot to offer. If you stroll along Main Street, the heart of the town, you will notice how much locals and visitors like to hang out in the coffee shops, to eat at the many restaurants and to take a look at what the fun and curious shops are selling.
You may also notice that Northampton is home to a large community of artists, musicians and creative people. This is obvious in the many cultural venues present in the town. Likewise there is a large student community coming from the Five Colleges.
There are many things we like about Noho but we decided to blog our top ten. We hope you have as much fun reading it as we did writing it.
