Feel Better now, save the world!

This website purports to relieve you of your CO2 emissions guilt. And just how do they relieve you from this guilt? You send them money - they send you a sticker. That's right, send a group of people in california your money and they give you a sticker. You are now CO2 emissions guilt free for one year. Next year send them more money and you get to feel all better again.
Don't be fooled by the "as low as $29.95", I put my car in and they want $160 from me (and it's a 4 cylinder 37mpg small car).

They're not getting it.

1000 seats on an airplane

Good old American ingenuity. Boeing's new 797 will seat 1000 people and is aimed straight at the European Airbus. Seems too big to ever be built, but I like that american engineers are thinking outside the box. You can read and decide for yourself here

MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software

Sigh, my third post and I'm gonna post-whore. I don't intend this to be what the blog develops into.
However, I think MacZot is a cool site and I check it nearly everyday. It's through them I've found the joy that is AppZapper.

Anyway, MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software today if enough bloggers post about the event they are having today, they are calling it BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com. The software they are giving away is SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys. This is the first I've heard of SubEthaEdit so I'm not familiar with it. I am familiar with MacZOT and wanted to support them, even with as new a blog as this one.

I've been sick with the flu and finally recovered enough to feel well last Sunday, I hope to start more regular posting now.
