Buh-Bye Miss California!


Even though I don't agree with her, I was willing to defend this woman's right to express her opinion against same-sex marriage when asked during the Miss USA competition. But, she has subsequently ignored her responsibilities to the public 'office' to continue speaking out against it every chance she got.

This is one time I agree with you Donald Trump. I won't be shedding any tears over her de-crowning at all.

Wave email Gooooodbye


Google Wave is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web, coming later this year, that promises to transform the way we email, share pix, links, and more. This video of it's launch at a recent conference is about 1.5 hours long, but it really gives you a good idea of what it's about. Very exciting!

This LINK will offer more discussion of the basic idea.

This LINK is a discussion of it being proposed as a new multi-client platform.

Could this be Sarah Palin's weekend getaway?

Don't judge the book by the ... bookcase?


While it becomes easier to store digital media, it seems to become more interesting to store the real deal. Your book collection in particular says a lot about your personality, so why shouldn’t your book shelf do the same? Here are 20 of the most brilliant bookcases for stylish readers.

"Dancing Ninja men who know how to twirl"

Okay ... I am a HUGE 80's music fan, but when you break a video down literally it just becomes hilarious! Here we have the literal version of Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart ... lock up your sons!



This one is pretty funny too ... Meatloaf sings (I would do) Anything for Love



There are lots more on YouTube if you do a search for "Literal Versions" or click on this LINK

The hills are alive


I luv the design of these sofas called 'montanara' by Gaetano Pesce. They may not work in every home decor but they are still really cool!

How sweet it is!


This is an interesting site that gives us a direct comparison of how much sugar we eat in our everyday foods. Find out where sugar is hiding.

They've used regular sugar cubes (4 grams of sugar each) to show how the sugars in your favorite foods literally stack up, gram for gram.

Note: They don't differentiate between different types of sugar - i.e., sucrose, fructose, cane sugar, corn syrup, honey, etc., although there are differences in how these sugars are metabolized. Cubes of white sugar are a visual aid. Nutritional information was taken from package labels, manufacturer websites, or the USDA nutrient database. Calorie amounts are based on 4 calories per gram of sugar unless otherwise noted.
