Came across this video on the interwebs. I've basically known this fact for a while now, Compact Flourescents (CF) contain mercury and if you break the bulb or one dies you can't just throw it in the trash. Perhaps the EPA jumped on the CF bandwagon too soon. This video of a Texas Republican Senator is amusing but at the same time highlights some important points about these little twisty bulbs.

I was searching for Spring Clean-up details 2008 and after quite a bit of searching and frustration I came across the info - here it is. Happy leaf clean-up & hopefully this will be easier to find than html page that's presently hard to find.

I was chatting to a musician buddy of mine the other day and he mentioned a jazz trio he saw this year called the Esbjörn Svensson Trio, they also go by the name of E.S.T. Google them when I got home and I was blow away. These blokes are rekindling my past love of Jazz. The Yellow Jackets' new stuff sounds too "Smooth Jazz" like for me. EST rocks....

Was on my way to the Polaris Husky Rescue when I came across a bike parade on Main St. The 2007 "Tour de Fat" is an annual bike parade through the streets of down town Ft. Collins Colorado.

I just came across this on the Interwebs, it actually turned out to be an urban ledgend buy it appears to work at least for shorter words, fascinating none the less!

Came across this little 5 minute video while surfing YouTube. So what the hell is Circuit Bending anyway. The official def is as follows: Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of electronic devices such as guitar effects, children's toys and synthesizers to create new muscial instruments and sound generators. It's a form of experimental electronic music.

Here is an email I just sent out to ING Direct in response to the frustration I was having recovering a lot PIN and getting hung up on by a nice customer service woman. Is it me or are online banks making it overly difficult to log in and manage our money? Well all hail the Internets and let the consumer fight back. To add a few more coals to the fire consider PayPal to ING - PayPal has a better interest rate - 5% vs ING Directs 4% and their website is much easier to use!

Dear Sir,

It's just plain rotten to kick someone when they're down but I can't help myself when I hear news like this. Ted Haggard is one of the top evangelical leaders in the US, an outspoken opponent to gay marriage and a personal friend of the Focus on the Family chump we know and love, James Dobson. He's just been accused of buying drugs and having gay sex with a male prostitute. What a day: the news media are ruining poor Kerry simply because he forget to add a few words to the end of a joke written by his staff and Ted Haggard is fessing up to some of what his accuser is saying regarding the drugs and sex - wow!

Cafe Prasad describes it's self as a "Veggie Restaurant" and was voted one of the top 10 Veggie Restaurants in the US in a recent survey.

Last time I ate there I was a little disappointed. They have a great buffet and the buffet food is sold by weight. Being hungry, very hungry I piled my plate with some yummy curry and other goodies and on checkout discovered that it came to the pricly sum of $14, bloody hell! Not that the food was bad, it was excellent but I just felt that for the same price I could of walked down the street to the Dushanbe Tea House, a real restaurant, sat down and dinned on an equally yummy dish for the same price in nicer surroundings.
