3-D Kicks Into High Gear

Just this past week ESPN announced the premier of ESPN-3D this summer. Disney and Discover will roll out their 3-D channels in 2011.

The success of Avatar has been the catalyst. Now the movie studios are paying for the conversion of previous releases to 3-D format. It is not clear to me how this is done since the original filming was not done with 3-D cameras as was Avatar.

It appears that some HD TVs in the stores now are considered as 3-D ready. Obviously, these TVs are HD. It will be interesting to see when or if conversion devices will be available for purchase for the HD TVs we already own.

This doctor is telling the truth about the cause of obesity and diabetes in our culture. An the Nixon Administration is at the heart of it. Really!

The medical debate in this country is missing a key component. It all starts with what we eat.

Tooth Soap



I've been using Tooth Soap for about 5 years and I'm quite pleased with the results. By not coating your teeth with the glycerin that is contained in most toothpastes, your teeth have a chance to replace the enamel coating which protects our teeth from decay. I receive no compensation from this recommendation but just wanted to share this product to promote good health.

Pushing Back on Big Business - What You Can Do

Here are some interesting tips on how to start the new year in the right direction by getting back at the corporate jackals that have been jerking us around.

Crude is the New Carbon

It is becoming more critical for getting a flex-fuel standard in place and developing a new industry of 'growing' our own alternative liquid fuel. The coming onslaught of gasoline burning in developing countries is about to become a problem for all of us petroleum users in the USA.

AT&T Looking Into Going Totally Wireless

It appears that AT&T is studying a plan to cut the cord on analog communication technology, literally. This seems to be happening faster that I would have predicted. I'm wondering how this will affect fiber optic infrastructure.
