Burger King Has Crown-Shaped Food

Doo-dah, Doo-dah!
But seriously, the meal is already two-thirds of the daily caloric intake recommended by our fine and competent government. Is it truly necessary to keep calling attention to food like this?

Organic Marketing 101

I was just writing (for another project) about the difference between organic food and, well, non-organic food and I realized that the whole organic food industry has been taking the high road when marketing their products.
Now, This may be intentional (and it most-likely is) but just once I’d like to see a big yellow star [...]

Job Well Done

So far, in the month of December, 55 people have accessed my site via google searches using phrases (more than one word).  Now that I think of it, I posted on my ability to track these occurrences in this post a while back.  Anyway, of these 55 searches, 20 of them were eggnog-related; everything from [...]

With the whirlwind first cut, Rock N’ Roll Train, the band’s [...]

The Price of Milk

The “special” at my local pizzeria went from $5.00 to $5.50 today.  I asked the guy behind the counter why the price went up.
“Ethanol,” he said, and shrugged his shoulders.
Which got me to thinking.  Lately, I’ve been pretty much immune to things like rising gas prices and fare hikes.  In fact, the last time I [...]

Build a Better Bicycle

Took me forever to get around to posting this, but I used the built in camera in the monitor plus a program called Gawker that takes still captures at predetermined intervals (every 5 seconds for this) to make this video of me striping and then rebuilding my new fixie. The explosion sound at the [...]

Do The Green Thing

I love when actual reseach brings me to cool stuff that I bookmark. I was doing a project for class about green IT and I stumbled upon a review of an EPEAT rated PC on livepaths.com. After checking out the review, I clicked around on the site for a minute, cause it looked [...]
