If you have an old TV laying around or if you’re looking for an excuse to get that shiny new plasma TV, here’s your chance to do it! From now till March 15th, 2008, you can bring in your old TV and get a $100 credit to something at SonyStyles.

I looked into it some more and it sounds like it has to be a Sony product but it looks like it can be any TV (which is great!).

For more information, go to Waste Management’s Sony Page to find a local recycling center near you.

While you’re at it, might as well bring any electronic waste you have lying around (monitors, printers etc) to get recycled and help save the planet.

As the technology industry sees continued growth, the amount of electronic waste is also increasing. A study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency showed that in 2005, used or unwanted electronics amounted to approximately 1.9 to 2.2 million tons. Of that, about 1.5 to 1.9 million tons were primarily discarded in landfills, and only 345,000 to 379,000 tons were recycled. By recycling old electronic products, useful materials such as glass, plastic, copper wiring – even precious metals – can be collected and re-used in the manufacture of other products. Recycling not only minimizes the amount of waste needed for disposal, it also minimizes the extraction of new raw materials from the earth and resources required for processing.

I never really tried any of the products that go “As Seen On TV!” Has anyone? How have your experiences been with stuff like that? Actually, has anyone ever used this? I would be interested to get a real testimonial on if this really works.

Went to Target and saw an entire section devoted to this new pill that’s suppose to help people lose weight. Sounds easy? I decided to take a look.

What is Alli?
alli™ is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product. The alli program includes alli capsules and myalliplan, an individually tailored, online action plan to help you lose weight gradually. What makes alli different? FDA approval and a sensible approach that focuses on your long-term success.

alli isn’t just another product for you to buy. alli is a pill with a plan. This program requires a commitment to living your life in a new way as you learn to change your eating and activity habits. alli is not for everyone, but alli is an option. If you are ready to take responsibility, alli and your hard work can help increase your weight loss by 50%. That means if you could lose 10 pounds with dieting alone, you could lose 15 pounds working with alli.

Already there is controversy regarding Alli. Some have deemed it dangerous for your health and for other reasons. Since it’s so new, we’ll see how it does later on as more people try it and we’ll see if it really works or not.

So in a non-related news, I came across this new artist that I thought I’d share here. Her name is Marie Digby (pronounced Mar-ee-ay) and I guess you have to be in the southern california area to have heard about her (so that means everyone outside of southern california, when you start hearing her name you can tell your friends - “yea..i heard about her months ago”). She’s getting current playtime on Star 98.7FM (yes..i listen to Star) and I guess she’s one of those aspiring artist that posted her videos on YouTube and got popular.

I did a quick background check (just to make sure she’s single i mean…i was just curious on what her background was like) and she attended UC Berkeley (boo!) as a philosophy major and started getting famous when she was found by the DJ’s at Star 98.7FM as a “Star Fresh Face Artist”. If you look at the first video, she didn’t even know her music was getting airtime cause she was in a different country! That’s like winning the lottery and not even knowing you won. I think. Her album comes out in September 2007.

I know Froggy would enjoy this….

Zorse ‘Eclyse’, a zebra-horse hybrid foal is pictured in the Safari park in Holte-Stukenbrock near the western German city of Bielefeld June 27, 2007. One-year-old Eclyse was accidentally produced when her mother a zebra, was taken from her German safari park home to a ranch in Italy for a brief time. Ecylse who was born in Italy, has stripes on her head and rear, while the body and her legs are white.

Traffic has become increasingly congested and tempers flare as slower drivers occupy what has been historically referred to as the “fast lane”. It’s time to get that Left Lane back! It is our considered opinion that not only will traffic move more smoothly and more quickly once the Left Lane is used in the way it has been designed but also headaches, frustration, bad tempers and road rage will all be greatly reduced when this pressure valve is released. It’s time to reduce this unnecessary stress. It’s time that…
