Do it yourself cleaner

Here's an interesting DIY cleaner maeybe loves. Personally we tend to use tap water and a little smidgen of dish soap, which works great for most things. The vinegar concoction might be better for greasy stuff, I'm not sure.

Also, just an FYI, there was an article in a recent issue of Real Simple about an upscale school for professional housekeepers to the rich and I learned that the best cleaning product for hardwood floors is either water and mild dish soap or a mixture of water and vinegar.

So no need to spend a gazillion dollars on cleaning products - even rich folks don't.

Google decides to do evil

Go see all the exactly right stuff Rob has to say about Google's practices in China.

Precisely what lets these people sleep at night?

How is it that the world decided to forgive China's horrible human rights violations? Did China do something to earn our collective good will? Did they end world hunger? Achieve peace in the middle east? Facilitate unilateral nuclear disarmament? Not according to my sources (ie: my eyes and ears).

Why is everybody so complicit in the inherent evil-ness of all of this?

I debated about whether this belonged in my Technology category or Horrible. Horrible won.

Thanks for stopping by!

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
