  • Whale Day on Maui - 02/21/2008

    Our friends at Maui Real Estate have a fantastic blog — as this recent post (article) illustrates well:
    Since then, I had my own pretty amazing whale experience on Monday. While stand up paddle surfing an outer reef, a small pod of whales came within 100 or so yards of the lineup. The gentle giants spent […]

  • Pet Food Recall - March 2007 - 03/18/2007

    We've been on a hiatus lately <all work and no play> but awoke this Sunday morning to see a news release about a pet food recall (tracked down via Breitbart.com) that we just had to note. The company involved is Menu Foods — a company we'd not heard of, but read on.

    Menu Foods, the Ontario-based […]

  • Water Distillers - 12/02/2005

    We've been using a water distiller for over a year. As anyone who lives in Los Angeles knows, the tap water here leaves something to be desired (or perhaps it's just that there's too much something in it — nasty-tasting, it can give you a bit of a tummy ache).
    And so, for years prior, we […]

  • 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?!
    Lynn sent us a link to the Skin Deep cosmetics evaluation database of the […]

  • Food Cravings and Sugar - 10/30/2005

    We've been on something of a diet. Web geeks sit too much, doncha know. Not an "eat less" diet, but one that has you eating quite often but losing weight on a regular basis (more about that one of these days) — and all based on your particular metabolism. Thing is, as it turns out, […]

  • A New Does-It-All Drug - 10/23/2005

    We live in an interesting, progressive world, where it seems that there is (almost) a drug for every ill. Many will give thanks for this one: Panexa.
    Well done, and well said. Thanks to Dan for alerting us to this one — and how about Narconon for some real drug news.

  • Wysong.net - healthy food for cats - 07/23/2005

    A kind friend pointed us to the wysong.net website for nutritional information. Thing is, we were seeking nutritional information for cats, and were gratified to find it there in spades (dogs and horses included as well).
    Although Dr. Wysong apparently manufactures (among other things) pet foods, this isn't enough (in our view) to taint his […]

  • Israelis germinate 2000 year old date palm - 06/13/2005

    The Israelis have germinated a 2,000 year old date palm seed. Not just germinated — the plant is now 12 inches tall.
    What's exciting about this? Well, our understanding is that modern medicines are often composed of laboratory-created pharmaceuticals, some of which seek to mimic what can be found in nature. Why? Simply because natural ingredients […]
