Good News Now

TechCrunch posted a negative review of a new website made by Sears and AOL called Good News Now. The whole idea is to report on a few of the positive things going on in the world, instead of just focusing on the negative sensational topics that get good ratings. It's an admirable goal, and it's something I've mentioned in the past. Unfortunately the site is plastered with Sears ads, but like any bit of advertising, it can be ignored. #entertainment

Dreft

There's a Proctor & Gamble laundry detergent called Dreft, and it's apparently good for baby clothes. Not having a baby or ever having washed clothes for one, I had never heard of the stuff until I saw it in Pathmark a few hours ago. The first thought that crossed my mind was, could they have possibly come up with a worse name for a product? Perhaps barf, or phlegm, or Veolia. I'm no marketing genius, but I think I could have come up with a product name along the same lines as All and Tide. #products

Penguin poop

Scientists are observing colonies of emperor penguins on Antarctica by tracking their poop with satellites. One scientist from the British Antarctic Survey said, "We can't see actual penguins on the satellite maps because the resolution isn't good enough. The ice gets pretty dirty and it's the guano stains that we can see." Not so cute and cuddly anymore, are they? #nature
