Have a look for yourselves, this is pretty cool. Google just released their video player for the Mac. This is a player more compatible with Google Video. I had problems in the past when I tried to play Google Videos on my Mac, and this should solve it.

Talking Cats
This video is just amazing. The cats are talking! The last cat even recites a whole stanza from a song!
Make the switch to a compact fluorescent light bulb
Environmental Defense is running a campaign to get 1 million households to replace their incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents. They’re saying that if you swap out just one 100W incandescent bulb, you’ll reduce your household’s global warming pollution by more than 1,300 pounds. Alternately, “if every US household replaced three 60W incandescent bulbs in their home with CFLs, it would be like taking 3.5 million cars off the roads!” Food for thought, right! Meanwhile, here’s a link to the pledge.
Bonjour and Hello from across the pond
I see that the friendly folks at Nabaztag have linked to my review of their smart bunny on both their English and French blogs. Hi! 😀
Has your fish tasted funny lately?
Just found out from a Congressional Report that the US Military disposed of chemical weapons in the oceans from World War I through 1970. The report is frank about the quantities and make-up of those chemical weapons. It’s funny (in an ironic sort of way) how at first, they dumped them fairly close to shore, then, in 1970, they dumped them 250 miles offshore.
I wonder how many of those containers have already been corroded by the sea water, and how many will continue to corrode and release their poison over the years? And I also wonder how many other countries have been doing this, and when we’ll find out about it? Finally, I can’t help wondering what other dark and poisonous secrets we’ll get to find out about as the years go by… What’s been going on since 1970?
