Ok, I’m not that far from home, but am writing this in Mexico (Puerto Peñaco, Sonora). While being a virtual worker and working while mobile and away from the office is something I’ve mentioned before, this is different, for me at least.
Puerto Peñasco is experiencing tremendous growth and the number of WIFI spots has [...]

Baking has little or nothing to do with blogging, except maybe that both are done with creativity and love.
I know it’s October when I bake my first apple pie of the season, since it’s usually made for my husband’s birthday. After that, there will be many more pies throughout the fall and winter, but [...]

I find I am concerned enough to write about a number of environmental issues (making home/office greener, harvesting rainwater, and finding safe disposal options for fluorescent lightbulbs, for example), but perhaps NOT concerned enough to actually do more than blog about them, run occasional technology recycling contests, and write letters to my elected [...]

The idea is to inspire thousands of bloggers to publish a post on that day about an issue of their choice pertaining to the environment.
To quote the blog behind the big idea:

As a followup to the last post here (the group-generated blog tips meme), I just found a great list of sites offering lovely patterns and backgrounds, thanks to Char who compiled it at Essential Keystrokes.
