Free Rice or, Everyone Wins

Do you have some free time and want a better vocabulary?
Visit www.freerice.com/ . You play a vocabulary game, and everytime you get the word right, twenty grains of rice are donated to feed the hungry people of the world. Seriously, how sweet of an idea is that?

No time? Don't care about learning new words?
There's links you can follow to simply donate money. Or you can print a letter to send to Stephen Harper (or somebody else important if you're not from around here). This is a worthy cause, go help out however you can! Go I say!

This Is Serious

Everybody knows climate change is a problem, but who thought it was this big? On top of barley shortages, I read that there may be a worldwide hops shortage! We have to do something, even if just for the sake of the beer. Check out this new talk on TED from some guy about the bigger issue.

You gotta be kidding me

At least somebody's trying to fight global warming.

Excitement is stirring

I've been pretty busy lately, and looking through my everyday email hasn't been a top priority, so it's only today that I'm getting around to reading this tidbit:

Spring has sprung and we are excited to share our latest news.

We have begun recording our follow up to World Container. We will be spending much of the spring and summer with our good friend Bob Rock who is at the helm once again.

Yippy!!! The Tragically Hip are of course one of my favourite bands, and it seems like World Container just came out, so a new record being prepared already is big news to me. Although it's not going to be coming out for a while, I'm still pumped to hear about it. (The Raconteurs recently did it a little differently, they almost put out an album before telling us about it.)

If you don't know the Hip, but like honest rock and roll, good lyrics, Canadiana, onstage rants, then I suggest checking them out. Up To Here is maybe their best album, but every album they've put out (I think eleven so far) has some solid tunes.
