Good morning advertisers and small business owners

I want to take just a moment to clear up what seems to be a misunderstanding between you and I. You see, I pay a service to keep me off of junk mail lists (green dimes). It works fantastically and I completely recommend it. I mention this because it illustrates just how much I dislike [...]

General Strike 9/11/07

I never believe any of these organized protests can catch on enough to be noticed. However, I like the thought and maybe this is the one time it will? Either way I figured it’s worth a fair shake to help spread the word and let folks decide for themselves. I am staying home on September [...]

2nd Anniversary of Katrina - My message to New Orleans.

We the taxpayer have so far to date paid $114 billion to rebuild Hurricane Katrina damaged areas. That’s the simplest of numbers and a more motivated person could find all manner of collateral and indirect expenses to beef that amount right up. Now, with that $114 billion in mind, look at this image, which odds [...]

Green your parking!

I am not one of the lucky few who owns a parking lot. Or even a driveway. Anyways, if I did own a parking lot or driveway I would replace the solid ashphalt mass with permeable pavers. They provide the same structural parking good times, but without the messed up water tables and heat island [...]

Combine your love for both the earth and its people, with this pair of hand-screened, sweatshop-free, [...]

Revolving doors have a purpose beyond hijinx?!

It turns out that there is a very good reason to use revolving doors. I thought they were just used to provide opportunities for wacky door pranks. Apparently, on average 8x as much air is exchanged when a swing door is opened as opposed to a revolving door. That’s an amazing difference to the expense [...]

Definition of “in your face you bastard!”

I love it. The Atlanta Humane Society is now accepting Michael Vick t-shirts and jerseys. They’ll be used as bedding, chew toys and rags for cleaning up dog shit.
Also,
On Tuesday night, the St. Paul Saints minor league team handed out 1,500 Vick chew toys to fans. It’s the team’s mascot — a pig — dressed [...]

Knowing is half the battle: Cheese & Tofu

Today I read a really great article all about tofu. Sounds about as boring as fireworks in hell, I know. However, it was well written and I even learned some stuff which I might remember tomorrow. Without any further rambling I direct you to Collen Patrick-Goudreau to get your smart on. No seriously, I swear [...]
