Paw Luxury

Paw Luxury makes me want to get a little bunny-friendly dog. One that doesn't shed, of course. (We have enough fur flying around from the lagamorphs, thank you very much!) Maybe a cockapoo or a schnoodle. Ah, a girl can dream, can't she?

Organic/earth-friendly doggie goodies. What a good idea!

The Hamsters hit it again

If you have kids and they're grumpy, play this video for them. It's Hampton and the Hamsters (famous from their hamster dance). It's instant simple cheer. (It may even make you kinda smile. A little.)

Sierra Club Quiz: How Green is my Getaway?

The Sierra Club, one of the several environmental and wildlife organizations to which I am a proud member, has posted a series of quizzes entitled How Green is my _____? I just took the How Green is my Getaway quiz. What I like about the quizzes is that they're entertainingly phrased. Like this question: "Does it really matter whether I take a plane or train or drive? That plane's going to fly even if I'm not on it."

Also, some people just don't like taking quizzes, but they want the educational meat. For them, you can always jump to the answers. Here's the answer list (complete with educational explanations, of course) for the getaway quiz.

Comment and post your quiz results! My getaway quiz results: 90%. I have to say, though, that I mostly made educated guesses on these. Try for yourself and tell me how you did!


If you're lazy and want all the quizzes in one shot, here they are:

• How Green is my Laundry?
  
• How Green is my PC?
  
• How Green is my Screen?
  
• How Green is my Bikeride?
  
• How Green is my Getaway?

Angry Alien

It turns out the alien's not so angry at all. He's rather funny. And he likes using bunnies in 30-second cartoon re-enactments of famous movies. If you haven't checked him out (or if you haven't seen the new movies), get thee to Angry Alien and watch the movies you've been missing.

(To all the people who have let me know about Angry Alien over the past year or two, yes, I've known about them for a looooooong time now, but just haven't posted about them. I have no idea why. Angry Alien's a source of wonderment and fun. Don't miss The Shining, which is one of my all-time faves.)

NOTE: Some of the short movies are more graphic -- it IS a cartoon, after all -- than the original movies, so be careful letting the kids watch.

Slideshow of typical evening w/ my kids

I'm just scrolling Cute Overload (again!) and couldn't resist this treasure:

An Engineer's Guide to Cats

I'm not that huge a fan of cats (if pressed to choose between dogs and cats, I'll always pick dogs; unless we're talking about male orange cats, in which case, I'm so there), but this vid is too funny not to post. Thanks, Cute Overload, for posting it first. If you've ever known an engineer or are one, it's even funnier.
