Check out John Fuller’s article entitled Bizarre iPod Accessories.  Most of them seem pretty tame, but you’ll have to check out the Bullet Proof iPod Case, the iPod Gloves and the iPod Thong…and, of course, the iPod Toilet [...]

I have it in my house and I love it!  You almost assuredly had it in your school when you were growing up and the janitors probably hated it.
 
But it didn’t look like this…

 
And the best thing is it’s environmentally friendly.  
“Made from renewable, natural ingredients, Marmoleum is a healthy choice for 
the environment and your [...]

As a social media enthusiast and a 50-something (not much more than that, mind you!) woman who is on the tail end of the Boomer generation, a recent article I saw on ReadWriteWeb that interested me.

This was interesting.  I’ve never thought of why numbers are like they are…they just always have been that way.  But there IS a reason they look like they do.  I got the basics from a blog by Jason King…but here’s the gist of it without all of the annoying ads…
