Cell phones playing music, office phones ringing, fax machines beeping, pda's vibrating, people knocking on the door, and multiple email accounts all filling up... The attention we spend on these items keeps us all from keeping in touch with each other, hence, the purpose of this blog... to try and keep in touch with friends, family, and those who are wondering why we haven't called in more than a week.r1P51nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09299443757745115734noreply@blogger.comBlogger81125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4072634989668583459.post-16962426861444629492010-04-02T11:14:00.005-04:002010-04-02T11:19:27.841-04:00

Anti-whaling activists are using a small, space-age-like vessel to scare off Japan's whaling fleet from Antarctic waters — with a ghostly tune as its main weapon. The Ady Gil, a 78-foot-long, carbon-fiber, wave-piercing trimaran that runs on low-emission, renewable fuels, is the latest addition to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's protest fleet against Japan's yearly whale hunt near

We hope this note finds you enjoying your summer! Today we cleaned up a local beach in Gulfstream, FL, collecting bags of small plastics and trash with the support from many of our local volunteers. It was a great way to start the day, knowing an entire beach was picked clean of trash.So how about a knowing you've taken part in supporting one of your environmental causes as a birthday gift from

We are following a detox diet that Gwyneth Paltrow has posted on her website Goop.com.The salad pictured here has been my favorite so far. It has a carrot and ginger dressing that tastes awesome.So, day three of no caffiene, no sugar, no bread, no preservatives, etc. is going pretty well. We've got a ton of coconuts in the yard ready to be picked for more coconut juice. I can say however, I

Take a minute to visit StopTheBreakwaters.com to download and print this petition after educating yourself how local tax dollars will be spent on the largest proposed breakwater project on the East Coast. This project threatens to destroy almost 9 acres of nearshore hardbottom reef, threaten sea turtles, ruin surf, etc. Act now before this project paves the way for breakwaters up and down our

Here's some redemption for myself knowing that there are other people with WAAAAY too much time on their hands... and that the lunch video of the dry ice was still a 'lunch break'. Hahaha.

Question: What do you do with that big block of dry ice leftover in that cooler of food just delivered by UPS?... Simple. Smash it up into small pieces, put them into plastic bottles and add water!

Todd101.,   I just wanted to share some news with you.  I’m on the board for the local Surfrider Foundation Chapter here in PBC.  We are monitoring a large project the County is pushing.  Although you see ‘Surfrider’ attached it’s not just beach and waves related.  Our county tax dollars are being considered on a $30+ million project only for

In just disgust, it's as if football season ended today. Who would have thought the Eagles would have even been in the playoffs? It was the scenario... if this teams loses, that team beats that team, and the temperature is juuuust right, the Eagles will make the playoffs. Well they did. Not only did their star running back rush for only 36 yards, they had consistent players drop balls and a QB

So some real major changes today. New truck and new phone. After all of my ranting and raving about the HTC Fuze (or Diamond Touch Pro), I couldn't stand one more missed text or quirky reset. Accompanied to the AT&T store by friend and business partner from Evolution Entertainment , I succombed to the Apple cult, drank the juice, traded in my brand new Fuze and became the 'very proud' owner

Well, after a continuous run of issues with my HTC 8525, several hacks, rebuilds, and new ROMs I've decided it's the perfect time of year for a much needed business purchase, the HTC Fuze. I'm looking forward to it arriving in the mail this weekend and hope my phone conversations with you guys will much improved with little to no more dropped calls due to the band switching. Toys, toys, toys...

Happy Halloween from Duncan and the rest of the family. Looks like we're going to be a bit busy, and have been as of late, so we thought an early wish would be good. I'm off to the west coast of FL tomorrow to present at the marine laboratory in Bonita Beach, FL. The topic is oyster habitat suitability. For those who may not know, the presense of thriving oyster population in a habitat shows

Based on our experience one evening this weekend, we feel this way.We were driving back from Port St. Lucie when we noticed a truck swerving in and out of his lane (or should I say 'lanes'). We figured maybe it was a text-messaging thing, or maybe a directions check and gave him a couple miles to see if his erratic driving would improve. Not the case.So we called *FHP, to report a possible drunk

We are both enjoying some disconnection from our laptops, office phones, cell phones, and computers. Mr. Duncan is enjoying himself at his 'puppy spa' (he loves it) and getting trimmed up before we pick him up. Here's the view from the breakfast table - it sure beats a computer screen.
