Composting

So - for a while now, I have wanted to try my hand at composting. It really comes from a desire to cut down on the amount of waste that my family generates. A friend of mine told me about using worms to compost and I will be trying that shortly, but I also wanted to start an outdoor compost pile next spring. To that end I bought a book by Mike McGrath (host of Public Radio's - 'You Bet Your Garden') called 'Book of Compost' and am learning all about composting. Did you know that the most important ingrediant to outdoor composting is leaves? I guess I started a little too late, since all the leaves are gone. I am going to try and go to a recycling place to find out if I can get some leaves in the spring. Until then - we are going to be composting with Red Worms. I guess that compost is really good for plantings etc. I will let you know how it goes.....

How NOT To Use Powerpoint By Comedian Don McMillan

I had this sent to me last week and thought it was worth posting. You see, I have a huge issue with most powerpoint presentations and this little video gets right to the heart of it. My biggest issue is that people design their presentations to incorporate all the latest PowerPoint 'actions' (things flying in and out, every imaginable fade, animaions, etc.) therefore the audience leaves saying, man that was a cool presentation, but in reality they have no clue as to what was presented.

Enjoy!

Interesting Video on YouTube

Interesting video... It was number one on YouTube by a long shot today. Let me know what you think...

Craigs List

Not sure if you all have seen this site, but I thought I would pass it along. It is a place (on-line classifieds) where you could sell and buy stuff locally without having to deal with paying for an add. Kind of cool. I just listed something out there, I will let you know if I get any 'bites'. Enjoy!

The iPhone.....

So, I have had a chance to play around with the iPhone and although it is everything everyone says it is, it is still pretty useless to anyone who works in a corporate environment. (if you are used to blackberry functionality). Hopefully that will change soon....

Anyway, I found an interesting article today about the Marketing Machine that Apple has become with the iPhone. Kind of interesting to see a tool turned into an object of desire....
