Occasionally, I will search for something, find a bunch of information and want to distill it down to a “best of” or summery if you will. Well that’s what this is. If you have any interest in yoga, strengthening your core muscles, or flattening your stomach, check out the videos and sites I found. If not pass on this low interest post….
For the past 6 months I have been trying my own version of vegetarianism. It is similar to a weekend vegetarian. I thought I would share my diet with others incase you want to try or what to give me feedback or share your thoughts. It came out of my desire to eat healthy, and have less of a negative impact on the planet and its other inhabitants. All while still not missing out on enjoyment of food and culture.

Grass mowing is one the most widely ignored environmental strains in the USA. It’s one we can not even avoid if we want to. Most places have laws against tall grass, and a huge amount of social pressure to have a nice lawn. This pressure is so strong even a University, a place that forward thinking, and “liberal” ideas abound, would not even consider anything but the golf course cut. Our ideals must change! If we really care about the environment, clean air, and future generations we have too think differently about what is right and wrong. Tall grass or an unkept lawn is actually a positive habit, not a negative one. We need to applaud, not fine or scorn people that DO NOT mow and put that social pressure on those with the manicured, environmentally damaging lawns. Maybe you don’t think a manicured lawn is that bad? Well read further for more info.
Imagine your doctor just told you have a medical condition. One you may never have heard of. You get home google it, read all about it, and learn the dizzying array of treatments, medications, home remedies and lifestyle changes that all claim to help. What if you could ask someone that has the same problem as you what worked and didn’t work for them? What if you could ask a 1000 people and have them rate how effective each was? That’s kind of how CureTogether works.
Can We Go Wrong EP
Hesta Prynn’s first solo album(EP really) was just released on July 6th and I am quite liking it. She clearly understands what makes a catchy pop song. Yet at the same time keeps the same deep content you might expect from a true artist in the “underground”. With her unique voice and a indie rock band sound you will not be left with that hallow feeling most songs currently on the radio leave. It is a fun, welcoming sound that might remind you of the Ting Tings or maybe even the White Strips. Also, you can hear the influence touring with Tegan and Sara when with Northern State has had on her work.

I finally finished my latest Palm app. It is the ultimate moon companion called Lunar Pal. With any luck Palm should approve it to be sold in the app catalog in a few days. It turned out to be far more complex then I had originally hoped. Making all the astronomical equations work, required me to use some calculus skills I thought were long gone.

Maybe this is old news to many of you, but if you have not checked out the website www.thesixtyone.com you are missing out on a wonderful music experience. I have been using it for almost a week all day every day, while I work. It uses an innovative and fun, quest based system to help you explore new music. The sixty one has many game aspects, like experience points and levels. The higher you get, the more songs you can rate, and the more important your opinion is in the ranking system. It links up with facebook and includes many social networking features that make it easy to share your favorites, make playlists, and explore your friends favorites.
If your a musician even better! You can upload music, share it for free, or even sell it. It will let you post lots of info including concert dates, and your bio. They also support creative commons releases. It also has an option for record labels to join and discover you.
The interface is the best part though. It is clean, effective, and gives each artist the opportunity to create a very artistic full screen, changing page. Forget a cd case, this gives you so much more freedom and information. Another very nice feature is the ability to navigate the entire site, and not have the music stop, or have any trouble getting back to the full screen page.
Some genres may not have as much as others(blues is a bit low), but they do have a lot of great indy music, I have not had to repeat after a few hundred songs listened too. I highly recomend you try www.thesixtyone.com, you will be happy you did.
Oh feel free to friend me, my user name is cooolate. That’s right it has an extra o.
I just finished a rather simple mobile app for Palm WebOS. It’s just a simple mortgage calculator, but there did not seem to be a good one out there. It hopefully will soon be approved for $.99 in the app store.
