- Skin Deep Cosmetics Evaluation Site - 11/23/2005
You know how it is; you like using various cosmetics, shampoos, hair whatevers … but wonder if they're good for you? Do those skin creams contain elements that do as much bad as good, and just what are all those chemicals?!

A simple, easy-to-use website devoted to baking, the Joy of Baking is much in the style of that fundamental cooking volume, The Joy of Cooking. Topics — […]
- Geek Squad Digital Photography Course - 11/04/2005
GeekSquad are the "emergency" computer repair folks whose website expands on their TV commercials by presenting services via an amusing can-do military theme. Military symbols abound: computer repair technicians are "agents"; articles are under the "Central Intelligence" section.
One little discovery: buried in that same Central Intelligence section (under Digital Imaging) is a digital photography course, […] - Nordstrom's online fashion videos - 11/03/2005
According to MarketingVox, "Nordstrom plans to begin a yearlong campaign next week that includes a broadband branded entertainment channel - Nordstrom Silverscreen — and features fashion information and music videos, reports AdWeek".
This sounds ultimately cool. Fashion updates from Nordie's via the Web? Yes, indeed.
