  • Oscar Contest – last chance!

    There’s less than 24 hours til the 2009 Oscar telecast begins, which means you’d better enter my Contest if you haven’t already! It seems a lot of folks have left it til the last minute, and the number of entries has been climbing rapidly this week. We’re up to 360!

    As usual, I’m asking if any of you with Tivos would be willing to volunteer to report on the number of dead people in the annual tribute montage. With this many entries, I think the tie breaker is going to be really important! (Unless there’s an upset. COME ON, UPSET!)

    Super cute! Pictures of exotic baby animals. I think baby tawny frogmouths are my new favorite thing ever.


  • Zooborns

    Zooborns – pictures of exotic baby animals from around the world. TOTAL CUTENESS OVERLOAD. And what’s more, they have a free iPhone app! I can look at baby elephants and lemurs and gorillas wherever I go!

  • StillTasty

    StillTasty – the ultimate shelf life guide. This should hopefully eliminate all kinds of arguments the next time I go on a rampage and clean out the pantry.

    Edited to add: Holy crap! You’re not supposed to wash chicken before you cook it. WHAT?!

  • Fatbet is ON!

    Okay, in case you missed the Fatbet post below, I’ve set one up. It runs for the next three months. If you want to join in, all you have to do is set a reasonably difficult (yet achievable) weight loss goal for that period of time. (Note: The other competitors don’t see your weight; just your progress towards your goal.) I’m suggesting that anybody that doesn’t achieve their goal must PayPal $50 to the person who loses the most. People who achieve their goal must PayPal $20 to the ultimate winner. Yes, I’m talking real money here. That was the whole point of the NYT article that gave me the idea. People who literally bet their ass stand a much better chance of reaching their goals! If you want to join in, just send an email or leave a comment.

    Note: The stupid site only uses pounds, not kilos. So those of us using the metric system have to convert.

    is resigned to the fact that the price for a shoulder massage from Korean coworker is having him count the grey hairs on top of my head. 🙁
