Al Gore is paying for an idea that reduces CO2 in the atmosphere. My Idea.  Diatom farms.  They use huge amounts of Carbon Dioxide, they are robust they have useful wastes (you can use their dead bodies for all sorts of things like tooth paste, roads, kids sand boxes)  They don't eat much, and you [...]

Recently Nike added the option to custom create your own version of the Nike Air Turbulence.

SFO is not at all crowded.  The lines are short, but so are the attitudes of the flyers, which are mostly over 50 and under 12.  I usually can find a cute enough girl to sit near and strike up a conversation with but I am instead sitting near a power outlet typing away at [...]

I'm bored and chasing viral marketing… Here is another weird site from the Transformers Movie Trailer.

I went to the Great Dickens' Fair today.  It was great.  Everyone should go.   There was dancing, drinking, kissing games, burlesque shows.   My feet hurt, my vision is blurry, and my heart's a flutter.
