Getting the most from online shopping
by
googler@evpl
on Monday, November 30 2009, 3:56pm
I kept hearing from my online friends about "Bing cashbacks," and had no idea what they were talking about, until I ran across this great article in the New York Times about online shopping rebates, including those offered by the Bing, the new...

"Land art" (and land art for kids)
by
googler@evpl
on Saturday, November 21 2009, 11:03am
There are several artists working in an almost unclassifiable genre sometimes called "land art," "earthworks," or "earth art." Land art involves working with natural materials, outside. Some "pieces" are very large...

"The original guide to living wisely"
by
googler@evpl
on Thursday, November 19 2009, 2:38pm

Reasons why the world won't end in 2012
by
googler@evpl
on Thursday, November 12 2009, 11:22am
There's a lot of hype right now about the Mayan calendar, but it's interesting to note that none of it is coming from experts in Mesoamerican studies. In fact, it all seems to be coming from people trying to sell something, from books to movie...

by
SuDocQueen@evpl
on Tuesday, November 10 2009, 3:07pm
Thanks to a very interesting question today, I discovered a surprising fact. Evansville was involved in Indiana's first official report on the Spanish influenza. According to http://1918.pandemicflu.gov/your_state/indiana.htm , in the "first...

Noodling around on the web is great fun because in doing so, I sometimes find things that I end up being amazed by, but would otherwise never have thought interesting. The web site wordle.net is one such example. You can enter any text into it - love...

November is National Diabetes Month
by
SuDocQueen@evpl
on Thursday, November 5 2009, 12:07pm
Considering the prevalance of diabetes in America today, I suspect the disease has touched many, many families in the Evansville and tri-state area. It is certainly a topic near and dear to my heart since I have had family members and friends afflicted...

on Wednesday, November 4 2009, 10:15am
Ever wonder what the odds are that an adult planning a Halloween costume will be a cat? How about the odds of being killed by a shark? There's a new website, The Book of Odds , that does just that — it gives you odds. You can do a simple keyword...
