Look at this amazing solution for stamps. I hate to lick stamps or envelopes for that matter. A chocolate flavored stamp is a great solution to kill the bitter, yucky after-taster of stationary.

Sustainability means
Because we must first define the term before cornering it into the environmental-only corner. Here is the dictionary.com definition of what the multi-syllable word means.
–verb (used with object)
1. to support, hold, or bear up from below; bear the weight of, as a structure.
2. to bear (a burden, charge, etc.).
3. to undergo, experience, or suffer (injury, loss, etc.); endure without giving way or yielding.
4. to keep (a person, the mind, the spirits, etc.) from giving way, as under trial or affliction.
5. to keep up or keep going, as an action or process: to sustain a conversation.
Some of the definitions. We are speaking about keeping something alive, keeping it going. Now lets think of the entire system of life, not just the environment. Not that we should not care about the environment, but the definition is much broader than that.
What would make you save the environment anyhow?

As I continue on the path of honesty
Dove has been a pioneer in leading the fight against fake beauty. The photoshoped beauty. They started with the really beauty ads and now this video:
My point is, get the masks of. You look the way you look. Are you really going to stop living just because your freckles don't align?
VeritÃ

We do indeed like good news
After all, I had lost a bit of hope. News are always flooded with aweful new which makes them the harder to watch/read. But here, in one of the cheesiest shows ever. A voice.

People won't save the environment
What would it take? Research conducted by IDEO found that neither expensive energy bills nor the threat from global warming are likely to make consumers conserve energy.
Instead, IDEO is focusing on developing "human-centered products and service experiences". The solution will appeal to the consumer in a more emotionally resonant level.
That is IDEO's take. PSFK actually developed a device called Onzo, a sensor, a display and integrated website; that provides immediate feedback allowing the user to take control of their energy usage. The device is also recyclable.
The more your know! click and keep learning

Congratulations, you are contributing to the evolution of the Web
Just by blogging!
Blogs are dynamic websites that changed the way information was exchanged online and allowed human relationships. One way to use this information could be to make "smart websites", this I just made up. Imagine a website that improves itself just by recording natural human behavior in it. It ends up being an efficient tools and source of information easy to use, as if it was second nature. Maybe your grandmother won't be as terrified to use it.
The articles has more interesting information about Blogging, Web 2.0 and RSS. Read and learn people.

RjDj a sound drug

RjDj, Reality Jockey and Disk Jockey, is not just another app for the iPhone but one that reacts to your environment and changes the way you perceive sound. How about a smart phone and sensory.
