FreeRice is a wonderful initiative, in which by playing a simple vocabulary game you could be helping to feed people in some of the poorest nations. For every word you get right 20 grains of rice will be donated to the United Nations World Food Program by the site's sponsors. The program aims to provide English vocabulary to everyone for free and to help end world hunger by donating rice to hungry people for free. Since the site began over 38 billion grains of rice have been donated to the program! Skip over to the site to have a go now!
Oh and the site does warn that by playing the game it may make you smarter...
We are just waiting around here for evening. Over at the Dunes, is going to be a large fireworks display. It's their 80th anniversary. We live about 2 or so miles as the crow flies. We should be able to see most of the higher ones. Huntington Beach is really have a giant party. Way to many crowds there. At least for me.
Step one: Lie on your human slave's lap.
Step two: Remain there until human starts feeling slightly trapped and hot.
Step three: Look up disconsolately when they try to get up from the chair.
Step four: Let your human place you delicately on the cushion. Meow tragically if they don't handle you with the care better dispensed to a valuable antique.
Step five: Immediately fall asleep. Increase your weight by relaxing completely, so that if they try to lift you, you'll weigh more than three large history books.
Step six: Enjoy. Snoring loudly is encouraged.
Made this last night, its a knock off Shootsac I made the removable flap the same size as Shootsac covers so If I can ever afford a real Sac my covers will fit!

Give me this day to behold with joy,
to rise above all expectations and savor
the multitude of voices and colors.
This one day to delight in loving,
to answer my sorrows with grace and realize
the magic in each hour of existence.
To be present and join Phil Och’s song,
to raise my voice louder than the guns and honor
the mettle of living with intention.
Give me today without promises,
and I will create a tomorrow of value.
and all I have to say about it is EWWWW! dog breath!
The eagle-eyed among you might have spotted this already, but for those who had to blink at some point yesterday - MOO's launched Business Cards! As so many of you have asked for the MOO MiniCard magic just that little bit bigger, we felt duty bound to indulge you.
MOO Business Cards are a similar size to standard business cards, but with some very cool differences:
Unlike lots of business cards, MOO gives you the option of a different image on every one.
Using magic technology we've decided to call 'PrintFinity', you can have a different photo, logo or design on every card. So, when people ask you what you do, you can show them - everything! It's a little portfolio in your pocket, a product catalogue, a trading card, anything you like.
You can buy your Business Cards in super-short runs
We're an experienced bunch at MOO HQ. We've all worked in different companies before, and we still have the business cards to prove it. The traditional way is to buy business cards in batches of 250, 500, even 1000 or more, and no matter how hard you network, its impossible to get through so many before something changes - your phone number, your job title or even the company you work for. We realised if we still have stacks of old cards sitting about, you probably have too.
So, we give you the option to buy in smaller batches of 50:
- it's more economical (much less waste)
- it gives you the chance to update your cards as you update your products or your details
- it's greener - even if you're using virgin stock, at least you're not throwing it away!
And talking of 'green' - there are now two paper stock options available
We're slightly obsessed with paper at MOO, and take a great deal of care looking for the best paper, with the best feel, print quality and outstanding credentials. We've decided on two different stocks for our Business Cards:
MOO 'Classic' - which is sustainably sourced and elemental chlorine free. Matt-laminated, it has a smooth and sturdy feel. It's the same stock you've seen and loved on MiniCards.
MOO 'Green' - which is 100% recycled, 100% recyclable and biodegradeable. It's totally chlorine free, uncoated, crisp white, and prints nicer than any other recycled paper we've seen. (And we've seen a lot.)
The cards come beautifully packaged
Every pack of cards comes with a free Business Card holder. Designed by MOO, the box is made of recycled pulp board and fits in a briefcase or bag. We've even included two (recycled) dividers too, so as you empty the box of your own cards, you can fill it up with the ones you're given, without mixing them up. (Another problem we've had ourselves, that we thought it would be good to fix).
So, there you have it. MOO Business Cards - as nice as MiniCards, but bigger, and a little bit different. We like them, and we hope you'll like them too.
Oh! And if you want to see what other people have been doing, check out our ideas pages. See what other people have made, and how you could use the cards yourself.
