Chalkbot Strikes again
You don’t have to be a cyclist to think this is freaking clever.
The chalkbot is back for the 2010 Tour de France, and you can leave your message of hope and inspiration on the LIVESTRONG website. If your message is written on the roads, you’ll get a photo of your message printed on the Tour...
Go broke for a good cause
Oh dear. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon the Mar Y Sol site, but would you look at this craziness? If you’re a bride, buy one of these clutches for your bridesmaids. Your girls will love you and you can feel good about supporting a good cause. These goodies are handmade in Kenya and...

Just make sure her head doesn’t leak…
Martha thinks we should all make our mom’s some homemade granola for Mother’s Day. Do you know what my mom would do if I sent her homemade granola? She’d say, “Granola? Really?” And then she’d launch it out the window like a torpedo and let the birds feast away.

Lukewarm Celeb Wedding Trends
