World’s Greatest Dad
Thank you to Yahoo! Mail for sponsoring this post about staying connected. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

Modern Courtship

Sign the Petition for House Bill 1830 to Protect Raw Milk
We know I love it, drink it, and support it. I wrote about it here, here, and here. Today, Dr. Mercola published a very long but very interesting and important article on raw milk: click here to read it. He argues that as important as access to raw milk is for itself, it’s more important…

Google Goggles: Gmail is Ridiculous
Unlike the April Fool’s Day joke Google posted about post-dating and pre-dating emails, this appears to be legit. Can it be true? Gmail/Google are building Google Goggles (ok, they’re calling it Mail Goggles, which is way lamer), a function that attempts to prevent you from sending ill-advised late-night email. It’s like a breathalyzer for your…
