There's no Goliath here... today was very difficult for the American voters. And no, it's not for the elections (Clinton vs. Obama) at all. It's an election of a different kind. An election for a higher calling... higher than the Presidency. It's today's final night for "American Idol".
I tried to hang on until the final bell and good thing I did. While I like the two Davids, I must respectfully take Cook's side. He's just more versatile than the younger David, don't you think? Well at least I do. I haven't seen David A. ...
Something good coming out from way down under, New Zealand baby! Title is cool, catching on a "whoaaah... waz that again" kind of reaction. But definitely worth the second look. Click the logo to jump to the website where now it sports a songwriting competition, a cool podcast.
If you're into music... er, well now-a-days called "noise", you have to attend this one. Well, if you're in NZ I mean. But hey, if you can head on down to Kiwi land you won't regret it anyway. After the conference, there really is so ...
Are you looking to adopt a new puppy for the family? Maybe you need a little "sunshine" into your home, a puppy can brighten up your day... even the gloomiest of all. We've all been told how a dog is man's best friend, and truly they are. You may even be surprised that these gentle pets can love you unconditionally, great life companion indeed.
My UK-based friend, Nicole Mackie, has recently published a fantastic book that can help you through your early puppy days. I just received my own copy and have ...
Wonderful news from CNN...
South African Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee, just won the right to be eligable to compete at this summer's Olympic Games in Beijing after sport's highest court backed his appeal against a ban imposed by athletics authorities.
Judging by the photo above, you'd see nothing but determination... running through his life. He's been a double amputee since he was a baby. Nothing makes him give up, he runs on shock-absorbing carbon-fiber prosthetics that resemble bent skis -- earning him the nickname "Blade Runner."
He's been running with those blades for a long time, this man ...
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80's singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn't care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the "girls" so to say.
Well, for the Alex Fletcher's out there, here's a terrrific idea to consider. While I myself would take on any Sophie Fisher over this gadget, chances may be too slim to find one... even by accident.

I think nothing says "Go Green" more than a product that saves the greens we have left on earth. I've seen this JavaLog while watching Discovery Channel tonight. I am very impressed. This product alone must have saved millions of acres of trees. Sure, everyone needs to warm up and enjoy the crackling fire by the fireplace during chippy winter nights. One just needs to remind himself that everytime he throws a 5 lbs. log into the fire, it contributes to the environment... whatever left we have of it.
Java-Log is the most innovative, funky new fireplace ...
Has been quite some time since my last movie out. I've always wanted to see The Bucket List too. Is the film really good? There are some Jack Nicholson movies that I skipped because reviews weren't really great. I'd make The Bucket List an exception BUT hey, if some of you would say it's not worth the time. I'd skip this one too.
Jumping to a related topic I've asked a few of my friends about what's on their bucket list. Some came back with hilarious answers like the following:
Die my hair red - ...
You know what they say, a man is as good as the tools he has. What's a man to do if he couldn't say "ok darling no problemo"... or "leave it to the Hulkster sweetheart"
The Wenger Giant Swiss Army Knife - oh yeah... it's really a giant (no fun putting this in your pocket, really) - has no fewer than 85 implements capable of performing over 100 separate functions, from scaling fish to fixing bicycles. All of which makes it impossibly useful. Want a laser flashlight? No problem. Torch? Can do. Universal Wrench? Yup. Golf divot repair tool? ...
I thought that it only happened in the movies, but lately I've visited this website from MSN Lifestyle that says the movie plot isn't really that far from what's happening in reality.
Here's a great intro to this story from that website:
In 2006, America's honeybees started mysteriously abandoning their hives, never to return. Farmers -- many of whom rely on the pollinator to help their crops grow (almonds, apples, avocados, blueberries, broccoli, carrots, cherries, and onions are just a few of the foods that require pollination) -- are understandably worried, as are scientists, who fear the ...

Re-thinking Hybrid Cars
I’ve come across an interesting article from Yahoo.com’s Yahoo Green section. With the current escalating trend of the price of oil and gasoline (including their bi-products), the cost of owning a hybrid car is slowly making sense. People before think that gas cars are cheaper than hybrid (gas/electric) cars, and that hybrid will not pay [...]-

A Humble City
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th [...]

Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
