I’m currently working on a new layout for this web site and hope to have it up by the end of June. Get ready for some awesome-ness!

A Guardian article claims that toilet paper is worse for the environment than gas-guzzling Hummers.

A video on Hulu called “The Future of Food” is a very interesting account of how companies own patents to different varieties of seeds in the U.S. Monsanto, one of the largest seed owners (and producers of pesticides) has genetically engineered seeds to resist their own pesticide products. The company has then filed numerous lawsuits against farmers for “illegally” obtaining these seeds, even though they were inadvertently blown onto their land by wind and grown their accidentally.

This is a very interesting topic because it shows how the nature of agriculture has dramatically shifted since it  started during the Mesolithic/Neolithic periods. Who knew that people can now legally “own” seed varieties and then prosecute others for obtaining those seeds. What’s to keep all varieties of seeds from being owned by corporations and virtually controlling the U.S.’ (or world’s) entire food stock??

My friend Jess introduced me to delicious.com, a website used for creating a bookmark repository. A user adds bookmark to their account and shares them with others. It’s a great way to find user-valued links and the hottest web sites.

I’ve switched from displaying links through Wordpress on my “Resources” page to displaying my Delicious bookmarks. Access resources here.

I decided to do away with the rouded corners made from images on my site and replace them with rounded corners made using JQuery. This plugin for JQuery is by far the EASIEST solution I have ever come across..sets up in minutes!
