The Other Obama


http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/03/10/080310fa_fact_collins

Michelle Obama is Barack's not so secret weapon. The more I read and hear about her the greater my admiration and enthusiasm for what the Obama's are trying to do -- shift American politics away from business as usual.

Check out this profile in the New Yorker. She's a bad mama jamma!

High-Tech Housewares: Compact new housewares designed to please — and to ease your daily life.

Some of this stuff is so cool! A few of my favorites from this list include these cute re-useable shopping bags called MiniMaxi Shoppers by Reisenthel. Who knew "being green" could be so fashionable? : ) I also liked the Lotus Sanitizing System by Tersano, which rids food of toxins and can even be used to clean your house: all from WATER ONLY! The system uses ozone to clean things (I know, weird, huh?). Anyhoo, just thought I'd share. Click HERE for the full story.

5 Ways to Defend Your Online Reputation

Hey everyone, you HAVE to check out this article and tell everyone you care about to look at it, as well. I consider myself pretty Web-savvy but I had never heard of some of the sites this guy mentions that could potentially have bad information about you or info that you probably would NOT want the whole world to see or read. For me, one of the best tips was this one site called ProQuo that let's you opt out of a ton of marketing firms' mailing lists for free. Anyway, see for yourself: http://tech.msn.com/howto/articlepcw.aspx?cp-documentid=6392723

This is OUR America

I was genuinely moved by his speech. I had tears in my eyes at the end of it! The notion that a politician is actually talking about history and anger and the legacy of slavery and the immigrant experience and linking it ALL to OUR America is refreshing, inspiring, and brilliant!

Are you an unclutterer or a cleaner?

Un·clut·ter·er ənklətərər noun
1. One who seeks to get rid of clutter and distractions that create barriers to or hinder the formation of a remarkable life.
2. One who unclutters.

After reading this article, I learned that although I aspire to be an unclutterer, (and if I'm being honest, I even aspire to be a mere cleaner), I'm a pack-rat and a "put-it-off-'til-later"-er so things tend to pile up. Maybe when Reg and I get a house and have room to put things I can try some of the stuff this guy does (who, by the way, has a blog dedicated to uncluttering your life: http://unclutterer.com/). So which one are YOU? A cleaner or an unclutterer?

Face Book Mania

Dear Dis-n-Dat-ers,
I've recently discovered facebook and have been obsessed with all the masturbatory activities it offers. It's sort of strange and wonderful. Check it out! Challenge me to a game of Scrabble.
Smooches,
