Treehugger: Benzene Found In Many Soda and Juice Drinks
This is not comforting at all! The FDA found this out in 1990 and didn’t tell the public? Anything I type right now will be out of line so will close for the nonce… 🙁

Biomass is Biomass is Biomass. Just got to figure the way to use it most effectively. They say they want to turn it into biofuel. Ok, how? Are we talking real biofuel or methane?

Now I have a face to put with the Beatles “Nowhere Man”. Good article.

This looks quite interesting.
Use old telephones as an intercom
Cool project! Guess I need to get some of the old ones out and try it. Even got a ring generator here somewhere.

Treehugger: The Soup Peddler – Bicycle Delivery in Austin, TX
Now this is different. Interesting concept. Should work in most metro areas.
His “plan” for regulating his future conduct. Cool!
Good recipes for those on a budget or anyone wanting to save a bit on food. Lotta stuff on how to make your own “prepackaged” foods.
Day of the DRM articles it looks like. This one is arguing that DRM done right will lead to more buying. Not sure where they are going as it is continued later. Worth a read.
Sometimes the headline alone is worth bloging…

bit-tech.net | A conversation with Cory Doctorow

A good read, with quite a few well thought out points. I especially liked the following:
“You know, screw them, if it’s a choice between putting everyone in Hollywood out of work – not that this would do that, but if that was in fact the outcome, which the industry says it would be – and if it’s a choice between that and eliminating all freedom of information, due process and privacy rights in electronic communication, then ‘Goodbye Hollywood’, it’s a no-brainer.”
The problem with it is that Hollywood (and it’s masses of lawyers) isn’t going to go quitely and the insane drm and restrictions that they are trying to force into law are screwing us all.
Solution? I haven’t a clue.
To be able to sleep with myself, I license my stuff (writing and photos and such) under Creative Commons, don’t buy new music cd’s due to the RIAA nor new dvd’s due to the MPAA, both because of their stand on drm and the out of control suing of their customers. I also quit buying or using Apple products for their stand on DRM. Linux and OSS software is all I use now.
Overlawyered: Sued for taking baths too early
Totally out of control lawyer, abusing the legal system.
Yea, I know, what else is it there for… 🙁
