Spare a square

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Note: This article applies to both male and female human beings. I’m a folder, but I believe that all of this information this will also apply to scrunchers.
It has come to my attention that we are putting unnecessary waste down the toilet.
I don’t have many (if any; I don’t have a very good memory) [...]

Thoughts on Food, Inc

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Last night I watched the documentary movie, “Food, Inc“, with Rachel.
In past years I’ve watched movies such as “Super Size Me” and “Fast Food Nation“. Such films can gross people out and even change the foods they choose to eat.

I’d like to know where the best events [...]

Australia follows USA with tree-killing iPhone bills

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

We all remember Justine’s first iPhone bill [video] totaling 300 pages in August last year. It resulted in every website imaginable writing something about the story, and AT&T removing itemised data from their bills and allowing customers to opt-in to e-billing/paperless billing.
When Justine’s video was released I’d been using data on my Nokia 6280 for [...]
