Ben and Jerry’s has changed the name of one of its best-selling ice creams to Hubby Hubby, in celebration of the legalisation of gay marriage in its home state of Vermont.
The flavour formerly known as Chubby Hubby will be sold under the playful new name for the length of September.

The once-fictional Tru Blood beverage from the HBO hit series “True Blood” will be coming to life in bottle
form this September.
The blood-orange carbonated drink has a slightly tart and lightly sweet flavor that is sure to taste better than the O negative blood consumed by the show’s fictional vampires.
Crafted to replicate the appearance of the synthetic blood beverage preferred by the undead in the series, the real-life drink will also be called Tru Blood.
You can read more here or pre-order the stuff and load up on other Tru Blood crap here.
A Domino’s store in Charlotte, NC, is giving away some gift cards to anyone that can prove they are unemployed. 
Cool… but the fucking joke is two (un)lucky “winners” will get tickets to see the American Idol show.
Each of the two Charlotte Domino’s stores operated by franchisee Prairie Pizza has 135 store gift cards and two “Idol Live” tickets to give away. Beginning today and lasting through Aug. 5 or until supplies run out, customers who can show proof of unemployment will get a free $15 Domino’s gift card. The first eligible applicant in each store will also get the two “Idol” tickets.

I just stumbled across an interesting post and wanted to share…
In short, as a culture we tend to turn to authorities to reduce risk and harm to ourselves. Moreover, our litigious nature makes people afraid of anything that might cause legal liability. Thus we reduce our own freedom. You can’t just “blame government.” It’s our culture. It’s not just the politicians, it’s how we behave. Why? I don’t know. Maybe we’re spoiled. Maybe our prosperity has caused us to be afraid of loss. Maybe the more we have, the more we fear losing it. And what where does thath leave us as a culture? What is the way forward?
I came across this quote today while I was blog surfing.
Whatever you have — that you do not need — does not belong to you.
I like.
I am starting to get into blogging. Well, not just blogging about stuff but following other bloggers.
Does that make me a stalker?
I have started to use Google Reader. It allows me to stalk follow other blogs without jumping around from site to site.
I have also added the blogs of magazines and newspapers that I read from time to time.
Pretty Darn Cool.
I have never been much of a reader. I just can’t suspend reality long enough to get into fiction.
Having said that, when I read, it tends to be magazines, biographies or self-help-ish stuff.
I just finished The Happy Minimalist. At only 108 pages (with big type) it is my kind of read. 
The book is mainly “food-for-thought” and the author’s personal experience being a minimalist.
Although his approach to the minimalist lifestyle seems a bit extereme (i.e. not having a bed), there were loads of tips and statistics that I hope to help me work toward living a somewhat minimal (and reduced stress/drama-free) lifestyle.
