We only have one planet. If everyone could visit the glaciers, mountain ranges, deserts, poles, etc. They'd realise what they were causing. No doubt about it, as seeing the beauty of the planet in person is a huge eye opener. It obviously isn't easy to do.With that in mind, I'll recommend a couple television programs that will help illustrate my point.First is Planet Earth, the David Attenborough

I've been using Wikipedia since 2005 or so (probably used it before, not knowing what it was), a little while before it became a household name. Anyway, even now I still find interesting articles and tricks, stuff Britannica definitely will not have. And yes, I still take it with a grain of salt.With that said, I thought I'd make a post about tricks and interesting stuff I know about Wikipedia.

I think good posture is something people probably never pay too much attention too. Even with chairs, keyboards, etc. designed for good posture, it is easy to find a way to slouch, or find poor posture. With that said, it is good to sit up straight while using the computer (or anytime), and to stand up straight when walking. With that said, it is easy to find a few seconds here and there to

Flax is good for you. Did you know? "Canada is the largest producer and exporter of flax in the world." They have a council!

One of my favourite food shows is Good Eats. Just watched the episode titled "Let Them Eat Foam". Watch it below in two parts, and then get the relevant link.Part 1:Part 2:Angel Food Cake Recipe

There's plenty of things going on beyond the major headlines being made in China these days with the Olympics coming up quickly.To name a couple there's human rights violations that should not be happening, and also unethical treatment of animals at Chinese fur farms.All of which can easily be found on the web, and there's plenty of ways to take action, even while sitting at your PC.For more go

If you have some time, I'd recommend going outside and checking out Mars and Saturn tonight after sunset (approximately 20:45 EDT). Look due west slightly above the horizon. It'll last until 22:30 EDT provided one has an unobstructed view of the western horizon. I forgot to go out and take a look Thursday night, but they will be very very close to each other once again tonight.The above chart

So I'm working on getting a proper music blog going. In the meantime, some quality classic hip hop I've been listening to:Ultramagnetic MC's - Critical Beatdown (1988 Recorded 1986-1988)Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Road to Riches (March 14, 1989)N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton (August 8, 1988)The first two are debut albums, all three have a track in the last PS2 installment of the GTA trilogy, Grand

Google Canada currently has a black background, albeit this is to raise awareness for Earth Hour. I wrote about Google, and Google going black, as opposed to their usual white background. However I later found a post of theirs from the official Google blog, that newer displays may actually use more power displaying black. So the black background is only good for old CRT monitors (the bulky

So I was checking out the guests for upcoming talk shows, and got the dumb idea to make a blog post seeing how the respective bands sales are affected from their talk show appearance. Since some shows, the ones without writers, are not publicising their lineups, I'll use Letterman (Late Show), Ferguson (Late Late Show), and the Jimmy Kimmel (who cares) repeat.The Whigs will be on The Late Show

I read recently how some gift cards would now have a fee of some sort so that if not used x amount is taken off, say something like $2. Probably more like $2.95 or $2.50. Anyway, I just came upon this article, basically advising people to give cash instead of gift cards. This from the Consumers' Association of Canada. They cite fees, like I mentioned, along with expiry dates, and generally going

In my course of just going around the web, I came upon The Official Google Blog's latest post, basically it is saying to turn off your computer for the holidays, that being an office one if you won't be back for a little while, even a day or two. They do apply the same for home PCs. This should be the case anytime, and also if you'll be away from your home PC for the holidays. They suggest sleep

So, another first post, because this is the first post in my new 'music' blog, which I have been thinking of doing for a while now. The other first post belonging to my baseball blog which I started in June. I never have been a 'blog' fan per se, but I am slowly coming around to liking them, provided there is worthwhile content. I do like the participatory element, getting regular people writing,
