Neat Finds

Google Reader Wishlist

07/11/2009

I love Google Reader. I used to read blogs and news by actually going to a million web pages regularly, but their designs were usually heinous looking and it took way to long to load them all on my browser. When I finally switched to using Google Reader, I was relieved to see that they Read More

Craftivism

11/03/2008

I’ve been reading the blog Soule Mama for quite some time. I so loved the writings of Amanda Blake Soule, that I also purchased and read her book The Creative Family: How to Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections. It is fantastic and has helped me to think differently and wonderfully about how I view Read More

Replanet?

A lot of the Recycle Replanet bins have been turning up in grocery store parking lots around here. Based on the name, I figured they had something to do with recycling.

Howtoons

10/24/2007

I wish they had Howtoons around when I was a kid. So, I think I’ll just channel my inner child and read now! From the Howtoons site, this is what it’s all about: Part comic strip and part science experiment, Howtoons shows children how to find imaginative new uses for common household items like soda Read More

Meet A REAL Cow!

10/14/2007

I spoke of this before, but it’s now becoming a real cool thing to bring the farm to the city so the “city kids” can learn about farming. Now, you can go to Whole Foods in Cupertino this month to MEET A REAL COW! Not a fake one. A REAL ONE! I laughed the entire Read More
