[earthware biodegradables] - another site i heard about on kcbs radio (740 on your am dial) during their eco-talk minute segments.
this company makes biodegradable silverware to be used instead of that plasticware we use for parties. it sounds pretty cool. i don’t know how expensive it may be though.
like everyone else i get sites sent to me from friends and family. i also get website addresses from the radio, newspaper and magazine. i usually record a site to visit on my phone to visit later. well, to the right is a short list of what has been on my phone. i’m going to go visit some of those sites, write a little blurb as to why i had it recorded and why you might want to visit it. it’s sort of like netscape’s old cool site of the day - a feature they had long ago when netscape was cool.
first site up:
[recycle for breast cancer] - i heard about this website on kcbs one day when i was driving to work. the person was asking how and where they could donate old cellphones. one place i have heard of is battered women’s shelter’s who use the phones for communication. antother is this website.
you can go to the website and see the list of cellphones they accept. they will send you a mailer to mail the phone to them. it’s as simple as that. if you have an old cellphone lying around think about donating it.
the cdc has put up the above resource to keep track of this year’s flu outbreak.
Man Targets Canadian Company He Wrongly Believed Was Source Of Spam
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – A Sunnyvale man has been arrested on federal charges for allegedly making death threats against a group of Canadians he mistakenly believed was responsible for sending him online material about how to enlarge his penis.
Charles Booher, 44, was arrested by FBI agents on Thursday. Authorities say Booher repeatedly made death threats by phone and e-mail against the employees of a Canadian company that he mistakenly believed was the source of a large volume of unsolicited e-mail advertising he was receiving about penile enlargement medication.
According to court documents, Booher said in a May 31 e-mail that he was “sending a package full of Anthrax spores to your address” and would “put a bullet in your head.” In a June 14 e-mail he threatened to shoot an employee in the spine and then torture him with a “power drill and ice pick.” In a voice mail message he threatened to castrate all of the company’s employees and then kill them “with a shotgun and 30 rounds of ammunition and a hunting rifle.”
Prosecutors say Booher persisted in making these threats even after Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety officers visited him and ordered him to stop.
Booher faces a maximum possible penalty of five years in prison if convicted. He is currently free after posting a $75,000 bond. He is scheduled to return to court on Dec. 11.

it had to happen sooner or later. pac bell park is no longer. it shall forever be called [sbc park]…for at least 24 years.
it just doesn’t sound right, like 3com park didn’t sound right. then it was 3com park @ candlestick point, which surely didn’t sound right. i’m sure 10 years from now sbc park will roll off the tounge, and pac bell will be but a memory. afterall sbc/pac bell did fess up 50 million dollars to help build the ballpark. i guess they get a say in what to call it.
wish they had this when i went to school
it’s a site in which you can rate your teachers. some of the reviews can be brutal, most appear to be nice. heard about the site on kgo radio.
doug called to tell me saori and him are the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl. her name is mitsuki-chan. we have yet to meet her, but i’m sure we will soon, as i’m sure doug will have pictures posted on either his website [http://www.worldwhereyoulive.com/] or his photo pages on [pbase].
