Earth Hour Demonstrates Effectiveness in Tel-Aviv

Last week’s Earth Hour, when we were asked to turn off lights for a full hour, didn’t look like much where we were in L.A., but the effect in Tel-Aviv was noticeable:

Not only that, but according to Haaretz:

Vats of oil used to fry Tel Avivians’ lunchtime falafels and chips were brought [...]

Why We Love SmallDog

We admit it — we’re Mac-heads. And one of our favorite resources is SmallDog.com. Not only are they knowledgable and authorized Apple dealers, but you’ve got to love a company whose employees bring their dogs to work, regardless of size, *and* you get small (toy) dogs in every order they ship out.

Beyond all [...]

Eco-Fun for Earth Day

Earth Day is around the corner (April 22) and we’ll be posting some of our favorite eco-friendly links and resources throughout the month, called, respectively, Green Links and Eco-Reco!

Since Ben & Jerry is foremost in our mind right now because of their free ice cream give-away (Tuesday, April 17!!!) we’re going to share [...]

So Not A Nice Jewish Boy

Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear. Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth.

Full story here

We think he deserves one of these. And a spanking.

A Green Night in Hollywood

The stars were there but we didn’t get to see or hobnob with any of them, as they were safely ensconced in the VIP Lounge, guarded by diamond-earringed bouncers from the riffraff. Apparently attendees included Penelope Cruz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, James Blunt and Petra Nemcova, Sharon Lawrence, Chevy Chase, Daryl Hannah (no surprise [...]

We’re Off to the Green (Pre) Oscars Party

On Wednesday, a glittering group of green greats – headed by Leonardo DiCaprio, Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek and Edward Norton – will roll up to Hollywood hot-spot Avalon Club to kick off the Oscar season at a party hosted by Global Green.

But since this is all about the environment, they will be stepping [...]

A Heart-Felt Cause

It’s February and hearts are everywhere. Pierced hearts, broken hearts, candied hearts, chocolate hearts, hearts with flowers, hearts borne on the wings of cupids or nestled in the arms of teddy bears, hearts dripping with the bile of bitter disappointment or saturated with saccharine sentiments.

So it’s not surprising, the considering this ubiquitous and [...]

Guitar-Playing T-Shirt

Finally, air guitar maestros the world over will soon be able to translate their musical delusions into real audible experience.

Scientists in Australia have developed a t-shirt embedded with sensors that cause the t-shirt to play electric guitar riffs — you’ll see a link to the podcast there telling all. Each movement by the [...]

BYOB (Bring Your Own Bones)

If you are in the L.A. area, check out the cavorting skeletons having a wild party at Boney Island, at the private residence of the producer of the Simpsons, Rick Polizzi. More info available here.

Here’s a video: Rick makes all of this himself, including the voices and music, and it’s truly spectacular. And [...]

Day of the Dead- No Bones About It

It’s hard to miss the fact that Halloween is right around the corner, but unless you live in California, Arizona, Texas, etc., you might miss its calendar cousin, the Mexican Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos that follows on Nov 1-2.

Originally celebrated during the [...]
