While going green is an overall positive thing to do

sometimes you gotta be careful about how you do it. I certainly do not recommend the list of these "smart", "green" gadgets listed by The Businees Insider.



This clock maybe running on lemon juice and water, which sounds pretty neat, however you have to empty and refill that device every six weeks for saving very minute amount of energy compared to the rest of the home appliances that we use everyday. Oh and did I mention this clock doesn't even have an alarm! Now, I'm not a heavy sleeper, but I do know for an obvious fact that there some real deep sleepers out there somewhere. Anyways, if you REALLY need an alarm that comes with this gadget ... you're going to have to pay 29 bucks. :P

From now on, any picture I post; I'll give the link to those pictures ...

and you can search for it and quickly/eventually found the picture I was using.

Ummmmm ... yeah.

Twitter updates are messed up once again. I really do not know how to fix the problem other than let time do its trick. :/

P.S. This may happen in the future even if the twitter updates are working properly again ...

Bernanke thinks it's too soon to assume the recovery of our economy ...

is going to remain intact. While the employment rate is going the down, the rate we are looking forward to is not too desirable. What will happen to the USA's economy in the near future in his perspective is shown right here! :P

Obama is sending Stephen Bosworth to North Korea ...

to ease the tension between North Korea and the USA. It's about talking about disarming their dangerous weapons, particularly the nuclear ones. The reason North Korea wants to keep their nuclear weapons is to combat the US military forces that is in South Korea. The U.N. tried to talk do some peace talking, but they refused to speak this matter and left their meeting. At the end of the article, it says that he will then continue his trip by going to Seoul before traveling to Beijing, Tokyo and etc.

While this video may not be 100% related to our national debt in the USA ...

it just shows you the true potential of one trillion dollars.



The debt is just getting worse and worse and it doesn't look like America can turn the tables around and finally get out of this deep downward spiral. Not too long ago, the billboard that shows our total national debt had to drop another digit when it hit 10 trillion dollars as shown below.

According to scientists, when 1/1/2010 is finally here; ...


this decade will be the warmest out of the all decades recorded. It will only get worse as one year passes by another and even if we halt all the emissions around the world. The worldwide emissions will still warm our planet regardless. So the best thing we can do is slow it down and not increase the rate of this potentially dangerous disaster in the future. Some islands are starting to shrink and being consumed by the ocean around them such as the small islands of Papua New Guinea.
