This prank is hysterical not only because it shows how gullible we can be but it also also how we are somehow wired to follow direction. No matter what the source apparently.

I’ve hated to hear about the issues with people abusing the site and using it for unscrupulous activities, but that’s probably to be expected. There are always going to be those individuals that are just looking out for themselves and will take advantage of anything they can.

But back to my love affair with the site. The main thing that always amazed me about the site was that it was free for most posts. FREE. They always say there is no such thing as a free lunch, but this time – they were WRONG! Craigslist is great and it’s FREE for general posts!

The other thing that I really liked about the site is how it turned the whole newspaper classified advertisement business on its head. Not that I have anything against newspapers, I think think they’re fine. They certainly have played a monumental role in our history. However, the one thing I always hated was their advertising pricing. I still remember paying around $35 for a 10 word ad selling a vehicle. That’s greedy. But at the time it’s what the market would bear. There was no competition.

Funny how it’s true that the market will find a way to take care of itself in most cases. When it is out of equilibrium, it will adjust. The first adjustment to high priced newspaper classified ads was AutoTrader. I’m still a fan of theirs too for having photos and longer descriptive text. I hope there’s room in the marketplace for both AutoTrader and Craigslist going forward.

As far as my love affair with Craigslist, I go through spurts. I used to visit every single day. Partly because I was trying to furnish my new house and there really isn’t a better place to consistently buy quality used furniture as Craigslist. I also like to visit to see what amazing things people are selling at dirt cheap prices. I find it all so fascinating. I love a good bargain and this is a bargain hunter’s paradise.

I guess you could say I was addicted to Craigslist for awhile. However, ever since I’ve finished furnishing my house, I haven’t visited the site quite as often. Unless I’m in need of something specific like a kayak paddle or a new monitor for my computer (needed two monitors and found two great large flat panel LCD Dell’s for under $100 each). Sweet.

So knowing how much I love Craigslist, when I saw the history below I wanted to read all through it and then thought I would go ahead and share it with the Readers too. Just in case any of you are addicted to Craigslist too And just in case you were wondering, I am not affiliated with Craigslist in any way. I also did not receive compensation in any way for this post. I’m just a fan and in love.

Perhaps I’ve watched too much Star Trek over the years but sometimes you look at something and just think to yourself that there has to be a better way. For years now I’ve been convinced that electric wires cords would one day be a thing of the past. Just didn’t know how it would actually be accomplished.

I’m sure we are going to be seeing a lot more of this technology down the line. I wonder which of the companies I should invest in now before the stock skyrockets?

Couple recycles 400,000 cans to pay for Wedding
By Lori Bongiorno

When Peter Geyer caught the garter at a wedding last fall, his girlfriend Andrea Parrish immediately dropped to her knee, pulled out an opal earring, and proposed to him. Parrish admits they had been discussing getting married, so she was kind of prepared for such a moment just in case it happened. “What better way to announce it to the family than with a big dramatic moment?” asks the 25-year-old marketing writer.

It seems Parish and her fiancé have a flair for creating buzz. Known as the “wedding can couple,” Geyer and Parrish have been in the news because they are paying for their July 31 wedding solely with the $3,800 in proceeds they earned from recycling 400,000 cans.

The Spokane couple reached their goal last week when over a ton of aluminum cans was hauled off their porch by a local recycler. They continue to collect cans to raise money for their honeymoon and to donate to Doctors Without Borders and Rim Country Land Institute.

How did they come up with the offbeat idea? Parrish said they quickly realized they’d have to save around $500 a month to pay for their wedding if they wanted to get married in a reasonable amount of time and avoid getting into debt. They didn’t have much extra cash because Parrish was laid off from her job right after they purchased a house.

Parrish and Geyer already had some experience collecting aluminum cans. Geyer, who works as a digital print technician, also melts cans down on his Weber grill and uses the metal to create art in his spare time.

Parrish came up with the idea to pay for their wedding in the middle of a sleepless night. She had just helped Geyer sort through some cans that evening and knew you could get money for aluminum by the pound, so she figured why not collect aluminum cans to fund their wedding and help the environment.

She woke Geyer up at 1 a.m. to share her plan. “When I told Peter about it, he kind of gave me a look that said this is a crazy idea, but you’re the type of crazy that can pull it off,” she says.

Indeed, Geyer was right. Parrish built a website and spread the word amongst friends and through social media. Alcoa donated 150,000 cans to the cause and United Recycling Services contributed another 73,000. And others are copying their idea to raise money for weddings and other causes.

Their wedding will also be light on the planet. With only $3,800 to spend on a party for 150 people, there’s little room for excess and waste. The couple has focused on what’s most important to them (gathering their family and friends together for a lively celebration), and they’ve also enlisted help.

Here are some details about their DIY wedding:

Venue: Corbin Art Center in Spokane, WA. Cost: $1,000.

Food and beverages: The bride and groom are providing some food, but it is mostly potluck style. The groom has a friend who brews beer as a hobby so he’s contributing a keg or two. Parrish and Geyer are making the wine in their basement. The bride’s mom, who owns a catering and reception center in Idaho, is baking and decorating the cake. “We asked our friends to bring a potluck dish, bring yourself, and have fun, because that’s all we care about,” says Parrish.

Flowers: Parrish’s sister-in-law is growing all the flowers for bouquets and decorations.

Music: A harpist is playing free of charge during the service. Afterwards it’s “DJ by iPods,” says Parrish. Friends are creating the playlists.

Clothing: The matron of honor’s mother-in-law is sewing Parrish’s floor-length black, red, and white wedding dress. Total cost: $250 for the fabric, plus another $200 for the custom-made corset she’s splurging on. Geyer is sewing his own vest from fabric that cost $25. The couple is making ties for all of the groomsmen and telling everyone in the wedding party to wear whatever they’d like.

Put the LB1200 Spyder robotic mower down on the lawn, turn it on, and walk away! Using the natural limitations of your yard, the Spyder will cut for up to five hours. When the lawn mowing is done, just switch off the robotic mower and keep it in garage. The Spyder is the world’s first robotic Lawn mower that doesn’t use a perimeter wire to operate. Patented sensors actually ‘sense’ when the mower is over grass, reversing direction when over walkways, curbs, patios and mulched areas. This robotic mower uses renewable electricity for its operation that saves on your gasoline bill and is also environmental friendly. The battery is rechargeable and once recharged it can mow for up to 5 hours.

With the LB2110 LawnBott, you get many of the features as its higher-priced cousins, but with a more economical lead-acid battery. Now with blade modulation, the computer can slow down the blade over low grass, conserving energy and extending runtime. Fully autonomous, the LB2110 will cut your grass several days per week, or more, leaving its docking station as programmed, cutting your lawn for up to 3 hours, and then return to its docking station to recharge its batteries, all on its own. After it recharges itself, the LB2110 can will leave its docking station all by itself and cut again!

With its bump sensors, the LB2110 will stop and reverse direction after encountering an obstacle such as a tree or garden wall. This safety feature also protects the mower against movable items that may have been left in the Lawn, such as a baby bicycle.

LawnBott LB2110 is lightweight just 18 lbs. the LB1200 is easy to carry, thanks in part to its hi-tech Lithium-Ion battery, which offers lots of power and little weight. Let it cut often so there is NO bagging, NO clippings, and NO mess. With its 4-wheel drive, slopes up to 27º are no problem. Designed for smaller yards up to 5,500 sq. ft, you can let it cut virtually anytime, since its electric motors are very quiet.

Cow and Calf by Ghose
Oil on Canvas (52 x 52cm)

“Magic and illusion is a major influence in my work. My aim is to perform magic on canvas, so that every time you look at the painting you see something new.”
Ghose, as Peter Ngugi is popularly known, was born in Thika in Kenya. Although he has continued to live in his native country, he is becoming increasing well-known outside of Kenya for his unique style, which he describes as “a fusion of surreal and contemporary art.”

“Through my window, I can see the majestic Chania River bordered by flame trees and the blooming purple jacaranda. Near this riverbank is a small town full of colour and intrigue, where, with no physical boundaries set, man and beast have learned to co-exist. The river is a tranquil sanctuary, to not only the great hippo, but also serving as a source of life for the town’s inhabitants. From the colours of tiny flowers within the grass to the unmistakable call of the weaverbird, this land is a great source of inspiration for my art.
I have experimented extensively with oil colours on canvas. The slow-drying nature of the medium allows me to create a fingerprint effect through whorl-like lines etched on the canvas. My animal paintings are inspired by native Kenyan animals…”
Peter (Ghose) Ngugi’s forays abroad include a recent stint at the University of Kentucky as artist in residence in 2008. He has been involved in several major exhibitions including being featured in Off the Main, New York City, an art fair showcasing contemporary African, Caribbean and Latin American Art. The first show of its kind, Off the Main was staged during Hispanic Heritage Month, with over forty international exhibitors.
