Coffee Art
Here’s a new bunch of images I pulled from a coffee art email that’s making the rounds. There’s the fish:
Butterfly:
I like the sailboat one in particular:
There were several others in the email too.
It looks like at least one of these is from Israel. I would like to credit them properly if anybody knows who the [...]
Swedish Fish AquaLife ~ Canadian sea creatures
Who knew a second guinea-pig-to-paradise candy opportunity would pop up in the same week? Today we have the new Swedish Fish AquaLife "Soft & Chewy Candy" in approximately a 6" X 4" X 3/4" box full of dolphins, whales, starfish, blowfish, seahorses, and of course red Swedish Fish:
They’re not quite as pretty in real [...]
Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Guides ~ choosing an environmentally sound catch
If you’re conscious of what you eat and worry about over-fishing and other questionable environmental practices in parts of the fishing industry, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has Seafood Watch Guides that can help you choose.

Smile Train ~ Tropical Charity
When it comes to heart-warming charities whose impact is immediately obvious with two simple photos, it doesn’t get any better than The Smile Train. They are "The World’s Leading Cleft Charity."

iPond
There is some controversy brewing in Australia over this little product:
It’s the iPond — a combination portable music player speaker and Siamese fighting fish aquarium. The issue is that some animal rights activists say that the container is far too small for the fish that it contains (meaning not enough oxygen or clean water) [...]
Environmental Graffiti: Australia Goes Green With Anti-Whaling Action and Fake Fish Flinging
Australians fling fish?
Umm, okay.
Read it here at Environmental Graffiti.
Maybe their Navy could fling some fake whales at the Japanese whaling research ships. As for me, I’m going to go throw some cans of tuna to see how strong I am.
