Why Recycle?

Friday, March 30th, 2007

Today was recycling day in my town. Which meant that I was scrambling around at 7am, lugging those big blue containers to the end of the driveway 2 minutes before the truck rolled in. Not fun.
Luckily, I had AllThingsMichigan here to remind me that the benefits of recycling vastly outweigh a few minutes of [...]

Wednesday, March 28th, 2007

Tons of lensmasters put heart into their lenses. But some offer a particularly intimate view into their own struggles. And nanswa is one of those lensmasters.
Apart from telling a personal account of depression in "Anatomy of a Nervous Breakdown," nanswa provides great information on the signs of burnout, gives suggestions for dealing with stress, [...]

Think Baby: When Geeks Have Kids

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Corey's in the office with us today. And we were sharing stories about our first ever computers (Commodore VIC-20 and Apple IIe)! Then we checked out Chris Anderson's awesome new GeekDad blog (think Wired meets MAKE meets The Discovery Store meets your dad tinkering in the toolshed on Saturdays). Then I landed on this lens, [...]

Sell Your Home Without a Realtor

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

The housing market is imploding. Your home's now worth less than your car.
Okay, maybe it's not that bad.
But it ain't good. And that hefty realtor fee you'll pay isn't going to help matters.
Enter Janet21's "Real Estate: For Sale by Owner," the ultimate lens for people thinking of bypassing a realtor and selling [...]

How to Stop Bullying

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

If someone said to you: "You're fat!"
would you say:
a) Well thank you for that. You're so kind. I'm clever too.
b) Thank you for this training in how to look after myself.
c) I've got better things to do than to try to make friends with a bully.
d) Yes, I know, it's a real gift.
e) This bullying [...]

Best Music for Children

Monday, March 19th, 2007

It was really tough choosing which one of kerryg's lenses to highlight tonight. She's got top-notch stuff on her favorite TV shows, her garden... even her love of Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
But she had me at "Beethoven's Wig: Sing-Along Symphonies."
That's right, the kiddies love Beethoven, too. In today's lens of the day, "The Very [...]
