Spring Inspiration: A collection of 25 Springtime Images

Kim — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:53:10 +0000

Spring is in the air! At least this week! And it has me itching to open the windows, air out the house, and give everything a good refreshing cleansing. The same applies to some designs I have laying around, which sent me on the hunt for some inspiring, refreshing, aaahhh-take a deep breath Springtime images. Here are some of my favorites.

Recycling can be fun! [VIDEO]

I just love the fun theory videos. I completely believe that if something is more enjoyable, more people will do it. Even if it’s something they generally don’t like doing. Like walking UP stairs, obeying the speed limit, recycling one bottle at a time. Etc… My favorite of the fun theory videos, however, is the bottle arcade!

This gorilla walks upright! [VIDEO]

Okay, I’m slow to the bandwagon on this one, but gotta share it — a gorilla that walks upright on 2 legs. Yup.

Two cabs EXPLODE in New York City [VIDEO]

Wow, not something you see everyday. Even in New York City! The Washington Post has the story and video. Apparently two cabs exploded in NYC last night. A passerby who was recording got the 2nd explosion on tape. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

Periodic Table of the Google

Kim — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 02:05:49 +0000

Google is massive. No secret. And sometimes finding your way around the huge monster that it is can be hard. Sometimes you stumble across a product or service you didn’t even know about! Enter the periodic table of the Google. A handy little chart put together by the folks at Google to help you easily navigate products, services, and APIs and maintained by Google itself. Nice.

Have ScribeFire, will blog.

So, I have already tapered off my posts. I got off to a great (second) start and whammo. Nothing. And it’s not that I didn’t want to post, I just go caught up in other things and well, didn’t. So, say hello to ScribeFire. Maybe if I have a browser extension I’ll post as often as I’d really like to. Maybe :) This post itself is being written with ScribeFire… Let’s see how I do moving forward.

Taco Bell’s Beef apparently doesn’t even qualify as meat filling!

Kim — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:00:41 +0000

Say what? There isn’t enough actual beef in Taco Bell’s meat to call it meat? Only 36% meat? The minimum amount to call it “taco filling” is 40%… They don’t even meet that requirement… Wow… You don’t say!

The state of Alabama is saying just that and has slapped Taco Bell with a lawsuit. In the suit they say:

The USDA policy book requires food labeled as “taco filling” to contain “at least 40 percent fresh meat,” and the label must show the true product name.

In containers shipped to Taco Bell stores, not seen by consumers, the label reads: “Taco Meat Filling.”

Beasley Allen law firm adds that what Taco Bell is marketing as beef only contains 36% meat.

So, what do you do when you want to make it hard for your neighbors to sell or rent their home – even though you’ve been having a war with them for years? You hang a swastika in your window. Among other things. Wow! How is this guy not in jail already?

“Fowl Play as Fight Cock Kills Owner”

Kim — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 05:44:54 +0000

It’s not everyday you see a headline like this. Just outstanding. Sad, but… So a fighting rooster didn’t want to go into the ring again, and he (the rooster) made his opinion known. Karma’s a bitch!

The Euphori-Lock!

Kim — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:45:19 +0000

The Euphori-Lock! Really! This is so funny and sad at the same time. I love the sense of humor at Ben & Jerry’s for even having a product like this in their arsenal and for keeping it cheap! Keep that chunky monkey on lockdown at your office!
