I have temporarily changed the look around here a little as I was having trouble with the old theme. Seems that when people left comments, it would make the sidebars disappear from view and drop down below. Well, no more. I don’t know what else I will do to it, but I will be working on the header design in the coming weeks…but at least for now, the pages will all work. If you come across any bugs, please let me know! It does look a lot sleeker though, and I also added a picture in the top right corner of yours truly…:-)

Lucky me, I just got an email about an investment opportunity in some renewable energy!

DEAR SIR
GREETINGS
LOGIC-CO IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL COMPANY HAS RENEWABLE ENERGY: ELECTRICITY.EXTRACTED FROM THE LIGHTNING:
THE RATE OF LIGHTNING IS 100 FLASH PER SECOND ALLOVER THE GLOBE. IF USA HAS 1% OF THE TOTAL FLASHES THIS MEANS 1 FLASH PER SECOND. FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE, ONE FLASH = 4 STROKES. EACH STROKE HAS (10)^12 WATT.
THIS MEANS : WHEN LOGIC-CO SUCCEEDS TO GET ONE FLASH ,AND TRANSFORM IT TO ELECTRICITY == THAT IS EQUAL TO A POWER STATION 0F 20 MW WORKS FOR 50 HOURS CONTINOUSELY. IMAGEN IF WE COULD TRANSFORM ONE FLASH PER MINIUTE ALLOVER USA.
IN THAT TIME NO NEED FOR ANY FUEL COMBUSTION THAT POLLUTES THE ENVIRONMENT. NOW LOGIC-CO IS SEEKING A PARTENER IN USA TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT, PRODUCING FRIENDLY ENVIRO-ELECTRICITY.

DEAR SIR,

Honestly, I would be afraid of them playing with lightning when they cannot even spell correctly. Seems spammers are going after environmentalists now instead of the kinds of emails we normally get spammed with!

One of my new favorite sites that I discovered is Zen Habits which is written by Leo in a far away distant land. Recently, he put together an extensive list of his “motivation hacks” that I have found to be of great help in my everyday life of being organized, getting things done, and just being an overall Good Human. These motivation hacks can be found at “Top 20 Motivation Hacks - An Overview”, and they include:

#1: Always think positive. Squash all negative thoughts.
#5: Visualize your goal clearly, on a daily basis, for at least 5-10 minutes.
#10: Find inspiration, on a daily basis.

This is a great list if you are looking for motivation tactics in your life, whatever your goals may be. Go ahead, take a look at his site, you won’t be disappointed!

Today is Friday the 13th, and every news channel has decided to run stories about walking under ladders, crossing paths with a black cat, and other assorted “scary” things we do every day.

But here, I have decided to assemble a few links for you to enjoy that could be more newsworthy.

First off, Tainted Food Scares Prompting More Consumers to Turn to Local Growers, Farmers Markets. This is great and I hope more and more people get their veggies this way. (Not tainted, but rather from the Farmers Market..oh, you know.)

Next, my hometown of Boston has begun experimenting with solar parking meters. ‘Tis about time, every city should have these and only these.

And lastly, from UnpluggedLiving, who found a guy from down under who converted a chest freezer into a fridge that consumes only 0.1kw a day Where can I sign up? Good find!

Thats it for me today on this oh so scary Friday the 13th. We have friends visiting from out of town along with their new-ish 15 month old, so we have an exciting weekend coming up around here.

Any time someone who is 100 years old wants to tell you how to live that long, you really should listen. These women are just amazing! I have a 95 year old grandmother that says all the time….”How did 95 years go by so fast? No one is supposed to live this long!” Here is a great article that might just inspire and help you aim for 100 years old!

From Happy News:

“If you want to live to 100 or more, this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while you’re at it.

Even though an estimated 70,000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age, it is unusual to find five 100-year-olds living in one place is unusual.

The average life-span of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birthday party. And most people don’t want to cut out coffee, soda, alcohol, cigarettes and eat healthy.

”People tell me all the time, ‘I don’t want to live to be 100,”’ said Mildred Leaver, who turned 100 in June.”"

How cool is this? Someone happened to have a video camera while they were on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney, and the cars stopped and the lights came on! Its pretty weird to see that ride all lit up, as we were just on it a month or so ago. It looks so different…and, well, not that creepy. Here is the video:
