See how he does it... It's pretty nifty.

Why Paper Recyclers Fear Inkjet Growth

TreeHugger: I'd never really thought about it like that before. It definitely merits more research. I myself have both a laser printer and a legacy inkjet printer that used to be my parents' when we were all in the house.

Once I've used up the supplies, there are some decisions to make.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream With Breast Milk?

TreeHugger: Another angle on this human milk ice cream debate.

PETA to Ben and Jerry's: Breast Is Best!

The PETA Files: Okay, so... Yeah. I'd be willing to try it, but commercially and logistically, it's a very hard venture. I agree with a number of the commenters that, at least, make the current process for obtaining cow's milk more "humane," if what they say about forced pregnancy is true.

I'm a soy milk drinker myself, so I don't even have a stake in it, and I drink soy milk mostly because I think I've become very, very mildly lactose-intolerant (and the fact that soy milk in WholeFoods and Publix is less expensive than cow's milk).

Japan's online social scene isn't so social

Kris' 7 Layers of Hell Guacamole

A simple guacmole recipe of my design:

2 whole, ripe avocados
2½ tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
1 tablespoon Cayenne pepper powder
2 small, whole Scotch Bonnet pepper
2 small, whole jalapeño
1 tablepoon sugar

Bisect the avocados and remove the seeds.

Bisect each half, and cut each segment in half again lengthwise. This will make removing the meat from the skin easier.

Remove the skin from all the pieces.

Cut each of the skinned slices into approximately 1 cubic inch chunks.

Place these chunks, the Cayenne pepper, sugar, and vinaigrette into a food processor for blending/mixing.

De-stem the Scotch Bonnet and jalapeño peppers and add them whole to the contents of the food processor.

Blend until the contents are an even paste. Pour into a serving bowl.

Sprinkle with more Cayenne over it. Serve with an appropriate snack food.

Apple unveils 'thinnest iPod yet'

BBC NEWS Technology: I'm certain you've already heard about this one... However, it's really the style of writing in this case I'm bringing to question. There's a flipping of consistency in writing style where I almost thing multiple people wrote the various segments of this article.

Let me know what you think. Am I just imagining it?

The Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera Bust Up

One of my colleagues told me about this, and the last bit was priceless. There were Twitter conversations about this today, and that definitely takes the case:

Right.
