Blog Action Day! Global action against climate change!

Today is Blog Action Day, October the 15th 20009. A day when thousands of blogs across the interwebs speak out against climate change.

We’ve always come from the school of thought that the environment is better if we don’t stuff it up. In other words let’s not sit quiet while global warming heats up this into a galactic sauna.

What can you do about this climate change catastrophe that we are facing? Switch to energy efficient light globes. Walk or ride your bike to work. Or switch to green power.

Do it. Your kids will love you.

Cables circulating the globe

So how does the interwebs get around the globe? You’d be surprised that we are all actually physically linked by a planet sized array of cables, pipes and tubes. But interglobal web isn’t new, only the way we communicate has changed. In 1901 a massive network carried telegrams over land and under oceans. Although 100 years ago lol catz were sent in morse code, and took about 1.5 seconds per word to get through.

Fungiverse grows into a collection of creativity

Dinosaur Design celebrates the launch of their new fungi inspired range with the Fungiverse, created by Circul8. It’s not hard to get inspiration from mushrooms, especially if you learn about their amazing qualities. For example, did you know that one of the oldest living organisms on the planet is a 2,400 year old honey mushroom growing beneath Oregon. Fungus is a life saver, Penicillin is derived from fungi and has saved hundreds of millions of lifes over the past century. And did you know that some truffles emit the same odour as pig testicles!

Users can create their own mushrooms, resulting in totally unique, Dinosaur Designs inspired fungi. Everyone’s is different and reflects their personallity in some way. So get your fungi on!
