Goldilocks Planet Discovered

Why is it called the Goldilocks planet? Because the conditions are "just right" for life. :) The temperature would allow for liquid water, which would almost guarantee that there would be life of some kind on this planet, even if it was just bacteria. You can read more HERE.

Yesterday's News

You're watching tv. The volume is perfect for what you're watching, but once the commercials come on it seems far too loud. Does this bother you? Well it bothers your senator! You can read about how the senate took on loud tv commercials HERE.

Blogger is Being Lamesauce and I Can't Upload a Picture...

...so I guess you'll have to view a photo of THESE floppy disc sticky notes on ThinkGeek's site.

Girls School Hostel Project

The Girls School Hostel project seeks to provide students at the local secondary school with proper accommodations. In 2010, the school began teaching its first class of students in grade 11. The new students live very far from school and sought accommodation from the school and community. Sixteen girls began living in an unfinished building that the community had started. Unfortunately, there were insufficient funds to finish construction of that building. These girls, not wanting to lose their chance at an education, have turned the unfinished building into a makeshift hostel. The girls sleep just inches above a dirt floor on old mattresses. This living situation is unhealthy and some girls have gotten sick. This project sees to ameliorate this situation by finishing the building that the community started. With Peace Corps Partnership Funds, we will create a girls’ hostel with a proper floor, ceiling and beds. This will give these dedicated young women a chance to receive a good education.

You can donate HERE.

Modern Family Calendar

I was just browsing Calendars.com, one of my favorite websites (this is a lie), and I found this cute Modern Family calendar. Fun fact: I was disqualified in a spelling bee once because I misspelled calendar.

How to be Alone

I saw this video a few weeks ago and didn't think much of it. I just watched it again because it was posted on Boing Boing, and for some reason I like it a lot better now. *Shrug*

I Saw Someone Do This Once...

...but they wouldn't show me how. :( And now I am triumphant. :)

New Favorite Website?

This photo came from TurtlesEatingThings.com. Yes, it's a website dedicated to pictures of our little friends enjoying some tasty noms.

"Like" Stamp

THIS stamp would be a fun way to spice up boring paperwork. There's a dislike version too, but I didn't post a picture because that's too negative for my taste.

It's A Lunchbox...

...that looks like a sandwich! You can get it HERE for $7.99.

Oh How Cute.

THIS mouse paper clip cup is available on Perpetualkid.com. You could store other things in the cup, but who knows how the mouse would react.

AWW!

Rubber Bands

I guess these shaped rubber bands are a thing now. I see a lot of people wearing them around their wrists, which kind of kills the point, which is that they're shaped like things you like. But I guess it would be silly not to use them at all because they're shaped like something you like. You can buy these fast food ones HERE.

Watermelon Car

I like it. :)

Treadmillasaurus Rex

THIS is Treadmillasaurus Rex, a game featured on The Awesomer that I find to be very cute. Every few seconds the wheel spins and adds more confetti, or a hat, etc. Fun for about 30 seconds.

A Blog You'd Enjoy

THIS is a blog called "The Bitchy Waiter." He has some hilarious insights about tipping, bringing children to restaurants, and drinking. I highly recommend it. However, he is a bit free with his language so if you're easily offended you might not want to check it out.
