A twinkle in my eye was present as I read a recent Treehugger article mentioning Obama’s offer to have Al Gore join his political team to help deal with the environment.

A friend of mine pointed me to this video and I thought it was too good to pass along. Have a look, it really makes you think.

One of my many life goals is to travel to Antarctica. Every once in a while I peruse the internet to feel a little bit closer to these goals and to dream about the things I hope to do in the future. One company that is making the realization of travel goals easier is G.A.P [...]
