  • Recyclart - Where creative art meets practicality and eco-friendly

    Posted on Friday September 25th, 2009 at 10:41 in art, Nature, Other Sites

    It's no secret that I have a thing for offbeat art and when you combine it with my adoration for geeky eco-friendly inventions, Recyclart had me skimming through page after page of pictures within minutes. The people who submit things there seem t...

  • Glass-shelled hermit crabs

    Posted on Monday September 14th, 2009 at 11:00 in animals, Nature, sentimental

     We tried having hermit crabs a couple times. For a family that was in contact with hundreds of animals any given year, the hermit crabs seemed so stereotypical and silly. And so I wanted one, of course. :P Of all the animals we rescued, r...

    Posted on Tuesday July 7th, 2009 at 06:20 in health, Nature

    Okay, so I had a few of you squirming with the quirk about turning your fresh urine into fresh drinking water. Well I'm back with a bit more pee talk, but this one is less disgusting and more practical. Unlike a lot of the "go green" craziness that ...

    It can't actually be Play-Doh, so before I get into legal trouble, let me be clear that I'm using it the most generic of senses....."modeling dough" is more accurate and legal-friendly, I suppose. You can find the quick and easy tutorial on ecochild...

  • More Mother Nature -- Pictures from the Sky

    Posted on Sunday November 30th, 2008 at 06:15 in photos, Nature, nablopomo'08

    And this time, I'm not even going to give samples of the pictures. They should be viewed as the larger pictures that you can see here, so just clicky the link and skedaddle on over. ~~ This is only the beginning. Click through to see the rest of the...

  • Time-Lapse Wonders -- Mother Nature

    Posted on Saturday November 29th, 2008 at 06:03 in videos, Nature, nablopomo'08

    Mother Nature has quite the abundance of artistic works, too, and I can't possibly capture that all in one post. This post of videos, though, is quite the collection of time-lapses.....videos taken of a specific spot and then fast forwarded so you ca...
