What Would You Buy with 3 Trillion Dollars?

Mon, 12 May 2008 08:17:49 PDT

This website is hilarious and really depressing at the same time. It's a faux shopping website and unlike most shopping websites, it's not supposed to help you save money. Your task is to see how many things, people, islands, etc. that you can buy if you have the estimated cost of the Iraq occupation to flush down the drain.
So gentlemen and ladies, start your pocketbooks.

Donate To Food Banks

Sun, 11 May 2008 03:41:30 PDT

I should've paid better attention to the date so I could've posted this earlier. Postal carriers held their annual food drive on Saturday. It is the largest food drive in the country. While it's too late to participate, you can still make a donation to the Second Harvest Food Bank, http://www.secondharvest.org/. I'm sure there are other similar charities, so feel free to post them. Anyway, I�m marking my calendar for May 10th for next year! You can also donate non-perishable food items at Safeway. They have a collection bin at the front of the store. Nutritious items such as peanut...more

World Fair Trade Day

Sun, 11 May 2008 02:05:15 PDT

Yesterday was World Fair Trade Day. I don't think this was widely publicized, and since every day has been claimed by some group (Don't Buy Gas Today Day, anyone?), these days have sort of lost their meaning. I still think it's important to draw awareness to fair trade, which is the point of these days anyway. Here are a couple of fair trade sources I'm aware of. Please post others I've missed.

Is Santana Row freezing out Ben & Jerry's?

Sun, 11 May 2008 01:46:40 PDT

The owner of the Santana Row Ben & Jerry's claims he is being pushed out by management group Federal Realty. Walid Hazim says he renewed his lease in June 2007 but Federal says he failed to renew the lease. A new tenant, Red Mango, has already been procured and plans to move in as soon as B&J's vacates. I've never heard of Red Mango but apparently they sell frozen yogurt in Hollywood. Aside from the lease disagreement, Red Mango sounds repulsive to me as I hate mangos, and I never knew they were red. I thought they were more of...more

Use Yahoo for search

Mon, 05 May 2008 02:29:22 PDT

What with Yahoo holding off Microsoft taking them over I have been choosing to use Yahoo for all my searching needs.
I don't want Microsoft taking over more of the world -- this is the least that I can do...
PS: I love Yahoo's 'Search Assist'! Try it -- it's free!

Postage Goes Up to 42� May 12th

Mon, 05 May 2008 01:20:01 PDT

Postage goes up to 42� in a week, Monday, May 12th. This is an increase of 1� since the last price hike about a year ago. It's a good time to stock up on Forever Stamps. Forever Stamps are so named because you pay the current price for them (41� until May 12th) and can use them for first class postage forever, no matter how much the cost goes up.
