Bush Appoints Nemo Head of EPA Beaches ~ Can Leonard Stop Him?
A recent trip to the Seattle Aquarium proved interesting. The scale of the place is great, and there are many things for the kids to do. My personal favorites were the octopus tube and the illuminated jellyfish “donut” that you get to walk through. My not-so-favorite thing was hearing the kids calling out the names [...]
I pledge to keep our oceans clean ~ Disney told me to
A keeper of a “public service announcement” popped up reminding me to keep the ocean clean this morning. I was reading an article about the governor of landlocked Utah and his response to the mine collapse on the Salt Lake Tribune’s website. It made a point that I hadn’t realized: “Oceans Are Part Of Your [...]
Boredome in the Surfdome ~ Emtec yawn contagious
Engadget posted yesterday on the new Emtec 2GB C230 portable media player. Apparently, it’s a bit snoozy: “Try not to yawn too hard on this one, but Emtec has loosed a fairly boring PMP that does manage to do a so-so job in the attractivity department.”
I’m still trying to figure out why out of the [...]
Escape your body ~ Scientists do the back stroke in out-of-body research
Apparently, according to the BBC, experts have a figured out a way to induce an out-of-body experience.
In few words, they apparently give you some goggles and rub your back till you float off.
If you don’t have time for the article, just note that:
“The researchers say their findings could have practicalapplications, such as helping take video [...]
Global warming a serious problem ~ but so darn cute
Last night Draftfcb hosted an art show and auction in New York. One of the paintings, an acrylic by Estrella Vega, was called “Flamingo Girl and/or the Evolution of Man.” I like it for the most part. It’s obvious that someone is going to look at it and absolutely love it. With the proceeds going [...]
Go Mobile Commando ~ iPhone Army Bikini
Okay, I’m sorry to say it out loud because I know I’ll get chastised, but I love my iPhone. It’s almost perfect as a device (the service on the other hand…). So far, the only accessory that I’ve felt was a must have was the thin little screen protector that I paid way too much [...]
All Dogs Go to Paradise ~ Trilogy Pet Food
Along with the dangerous toys from China, the recent pet food scandal scared enough people into fleeing from brands they trusted. We left behind some orange packaging for the big blue and started using a company called Trilogy. It seemed a little farfetched and environmentally unsound to start mail ordering pet food, but when we [...]
GoToNewAdAgency ~ GoToMyPC
I ran across some ads for GoToMyPC that are a little boring and almost givethe company the feel of a cheap mortgage web advertiser:
It’s a shame they chose not to stand out. I use one of GoTo’s other products: GoToMeeting. I just became an official customer yesterday when I forgot to cancel my trial. The [...]
He’s got Spirit ~ for a creepy Italian mathematician beach stalker
All right, Spirit Airlines, what is this!? Remove this right now and fire your ad agency.
I’m embarrassed to say that we put a friend on a Spirit flight this morning bound for South Carolina. I think she might be offended by this creepy sexist campaign.
Disappearing Dolphin Disaster
Lesson: Dolphins are cute. Therefore, you can’t eat them, and when they die it’s bad.
They are dying. This is bad.
Scientists ask: Where have all the dolphins gone? From the article: “Dolphins are sometimes trapped hundreds at a time, and are asphyxiated… .”
Are anchovies on your pizza to blame? Even though you’re not consuming the actual [...]
