I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I think I may have started to take the human race’s technological advancements a little too much for granted… I’ve caught myself, on several occasions now, putting my hands underneath a faucet and waiting for the water to turn on. Seconds later, I realize that the faucet happens to be one of those crazy old-time faucets with actual handles you have to physically turn to get the water to flow! Unbelievable I know! Now, now, I’m more than capable of operating said faucets with knobs, but jeepers!

Not sure what brought it up, but I was chatting about favorite commercials the other day and remembered one of my favorites. It’s from a few years ago called The Human Element by the Dow Chemical Company. I just think it’s a really well done advertisement and the message is really cool. Check out the link or the video below.

I flipped over to SportsCenter this past weekend to catch up on some of the other playoff games, when who to my surprise was leading the hockey talk? None other that Matthew Barnaby. Yes, that old scrapper and trouble maker. I couldn’t believe it either. He was all spiffed up in his suit giving his analysis of the latest games. Wow. When I think of Barnaby, I definitely don’t think of a suit…this is the Matthew Barnaby I remember.

Is it just me or does everyone have trouble folding the fitted bed sheet?? I mean it has rounded corners for goodness sake! How is it supposed to match up!? :P

Thankfully, Lifehacker, a great site for general life improvement, posted an article on How to Fold Bed Sheets (Without Ending Up with a Sloppy Mess). Now I won’t have a buldging ball of cotton screwing up my linen closet.
