Comments Welcome

plastic water bottles It’s really interesting, and a walk down memory lane, to be reminded how there was a time not that long ago when the idea of selling bottled water would have been almost laughable. Sure we’ll pay for a bottle of flavoured liquid, but plain ordinary water? Crazy. And yet it’s this huge business Continue reading the story "Water from Plastic Bottles or the Tap"

Early Morning Wonder and Peace

Comments Welcome

I am not a morning person. And yet I love the morning. More and more as I get further removed from my former nocturnal life as a musician. But I don’t think I’ll ever be someone who naturally gets up at the crack of dawn. But a funny thing happens every so often. Or should I say, every Christmas morning. With childlike glee I still Continue reading the story "Early Morning Wonder and Peace"

The Indestructible Roll-Up Computer Keyboard

Posted on: April 28th, 2010 by
Comments Welcome

As computers advance, it seems we just keep moving smaller. Desktops to laptops to netbooks to tablets. And that’s not even counting the countless phones and PDAs that have teeny keyboards best suited to a newborn size finger or thumb.

Life is best when you and your loved ones all feel great. Nothing drives this point home more than when one member falls ill.

Posted on: April 25th, 2010 by
Comments Welcome

A couple of months ago I wrote about some wonderful organic dog toys made by Simply Fido. I discussed the big advantages, and in my opinion great importance of going organic, and not toxic for something our dogs are going to chew on, and end up partially ingesting. Company information/background: "Simply Fido Organic Pet Toys are made of organic fabrics and all-natural dyes. Organically grown, Continue reading the story "Follow-up on Simply Fido Organic Dog Toys"

It was sent to ThinkGeek.com in jest by someone who observed that dogs have important files they need to store too. Well it turns out, there already something along these lines available just for animals. flexi pc pet id tag <span class=Continue reading the story "Dog ID Canister Meets USB Drive"

Iceland volcano The recent spate of earthquakes around the world, and the continuing volcanic eruption under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland are an impressive though frightening reminder of the power of nature. The Icelandic volcano that has thrown the airline industry has now started producing lava and is finally spewing less ash into the Continue reading the story "In Awe of the Earth’s Power"
