QOTD: Timely inspiration

content deleted by author

Clearly I'm not part of the target demographic

The post "Programmable Liquid Container lets you customize your cola" was recently brought to my attention. Which linked to this post about Customizable Soda. Imagine that, "up to 32 possible soda choices in a single bottle."

I don't know about you, but I can't even recall 10 different flavours of soda pop! But then again, I can't remember the names of all Seven Dwarfs either.

No doubt based on my extensive medical expertise

Am I the only one who thinks it's a little odd that the first page returned by Google when searching for "Epipen guidelines" is a link to my blog?

update: greeting card design

Perhaps creating greeting cards as the play-group craft is a little ambitious for children of weeMiche's age. But there's nothing like glue-stick, markers, stickers and glitter to keep toddlers happy! (Too bad the items are never quite used as intended)

PSA: I've been targeted... have you?

Hey! How many of you got spammed with this message today? (I've changed the company name to BlahBlahBlah to avoid giving extra publicity to the folks in question.) If you are in any way linked or available from T.O.Mama's post from last year, be warned... this message is headed your way! (This is based on visitor tracking information available to me.)

(I have to say, I'm impressed that one of my posts was actually read... briefly and incompletely but read nonetheless.)

Hello and good afternoon from BlahBlahBlahMom.com..I hope this message finds you well. My name is Chris Cooper and I work with a company called BlahBlahBlahMom, one of the internet's leading resource and shopping sites for Moms.. If you are not familiar with BlahBlahBlahMom, please stop by their site at www.BlahBlahBlahMom.com. This morning I was on the 'net looking for some "parent/kid focused" blogs this morning and came across your blog, and I really enjoyed reading your posts. (how did it go with the greeting card submission?)

Anyway, I wanted to contact you today to see about your interest in possibly joining the BlahBlahBlahMom Affiliate Program. Are you familiar with Affiliate Programs? If not, basically they work like this: you would join the BlahBlahBlahMom program (for free, of course), and post an ad or two on your blog promoting BlahBlahBlahMom. Then, whenever your readers click those ads, come over to the BlahBlahBlahMom site and join BlahBlahBlahMom, you are paid a commission on that registration. The affiliate program is a quick and easy way to make some extra money from you blog.

We do have a number of incentives that we use to attract new members to join, in fact right now we are featuring a Free one year subscription to Parents Magazine as well as a $2500 Home Organization Sweepstakes. You could post a banner or text link about these offers on your blog, and since your blog is read by the perfect BlahBlahBlahMom member (moms!), it would seem to be a natural fit to post info about BlahBlahBlahMom and make some money on the side.

Please let me know what you think. If you have any questions or comments - please feel free to get in touch via phone or email. If you would like to get started, you can apply here:www.BlahBlahBlah.com/BlahBlahBlahMom.

Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon!

How Evil Are You?

With thanks to Badger for pointing the way to a place where there are no limits to how unproductive I can be!

You Are 30% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well. In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

How Evil Are You?

Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!!! Ahem. Hope everyone's having a nice weekend!

Marimba Ponies: Too cute for words!

I'd never heard of the Marimba Ponies until I happened across this post which linked to this 8 MB MPEG of the band doing the Sabre Dance. (Technically I came across the URL to the MPEG first and had to back-extrapolate the post... but that's neither here nor there).

It's worthwhile noting that members of the Marimba Ponies are aged four through twelve.

In The News: Mercury in Fluorescent Bulbs

Not unlike their pole-shaped counterparts, compact fluorescent blubs also contain mercury and should be treated with the same precautions.

Noteworthy points from the Toronto Star article:

• If a compact fluorescent bulb breaks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency advises householders to immediately air out the room to let mercury vapour escape. The broken glass should be swept up, not vacuumed, and then placed in a sealed bag.
• Manitoba Hydro advises householders to wipe the area where the bulb broke with a damp paper towel, and to dispose of the towel with the shards of glass.Most bulbs will burn out eventually without breaking.
• Both Toronto Hydro and Ontario's energy ministry have the same advice: Store the burned-out bulbs in a safe place, and dispose of them when there's a community hazardous-waste collection.
• In Toronto, there's generally one Environment Day per year in each ward, when local residents can bring hazardous waste to be safely disposed of.During the rest of the year, the city's six solid-waste drop-off depots will take hazardous waste. Information is available at 416-338-2010.
