Launching Soon: CherryPal Green Computer

August 11th, 2008

CherryPalI was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to become a brand angel for the new CherryPal green computer, which will be released within a few weeks. It needs only 2 watts of power, and runs on a flash drive without any moving parts. Linux is the operating system, and many of the apps will be available via free “cloud” computing online.

I will be getting my CherryPal to review soon, at which point I am going to run the computer through the motions to see how well it does. (The nice thing about being a brand angel is that they aren’t censoring honest opinion, though there is a financial incentive to write positive things, since we get a small referral bonus for the use of our promo codes. Rest assured, if I hated it, I would not promote it regardless.)

The CherryPal will be for sale on their website soon – use my promo code CPP235 to receive a discount on your purchase.

In Search of a Natural Deodorant

August 10th, 2008

Tom’s of MaineI used to use conventional deodorant, but I was finding that each year, my brand (Lady Speed Stick) was ruining its scents by making them stronger and potent to the point of overwhelm. What happened to a simple baby powder smell? Yeesh. I was also getting concerned over the aluminum and other bad things, so I decided to give Tom’s of Maine deodorant a try.

I had tried Tom’s of Maine years ago and it was pretty useless. Now, however, they have added “hops” to the mix (yes, the stuff used in beer production). Apparently, this eats up bacteria, which is what makes your armpits smell.

Natural deodorants do not stop perspiration, so you have to be aware of that, but that’s a good thing. Blocking perspiration is probably not a good thing (some people think it may cause cancer)…because your toxic lymph isn’t allowed to sweat out. (more…)
