How to Use Up Food

http://www.care2.com/greenliving/50-ways-to-never-waste-food-again.html

I kind of knew many of the things this article talked about, but it did have some new ideas, as well as links to how to do some of the things I knew about, but didn't know how to do. Since I often have food spoil on me, it's good to have some ideas how to avoid that in the future.

Interesting...

So there's finally a reason why I like fizzy drinks. I'm surprised somebody bothered to investigate it, but I find it interesting, nonetheless.

"Amusing Article"

My wife sent me this story today, after spending last night running around Fable II. It was an amusing article, and we have had some success in a similar way, playing video games together to spend time together. It doesn't always work out that way, but it was nice to hear someone else talking about it... and it was fairly amusing to read.

Crows

This was an inspirint article about the presence of crows in an urban environment, and on nature in urban areas in general. These are ideas I've had for some time, but it's nice to hear someone else talking about them.

Releasing Self-Image

I read these Deepak Chopra articles now and again. Sometimes, they appeal to me, sometimes they don't. This one did. It was timely, in that I've been plagued with anxiety and self-image issues lately, so I felt it might be worth sharing. It wasn't anything I didn't already know, but it was a good reminder, and fairly eloquent.

Political Morality

This was a very interesting, well-balanced look at how both liberal and conservative political tendencies are influenced by moral reasoning. It provided surprising insights into understanding the other side (whichever side you are on), and was rather hopeful about dissolving some barriers in that regard. It's definitely worth reading if you are at all interested in those things. It is fairly long, but definitely of interest.
