December 17, 2008

Does cold, gray winter weather give you a case of the wintertime blues? Now there’s a energy-efficient light bulb that can supposedly clean your home’s air while additionally boosting your serotonin levels. Sound to good to be true? I’m a kind of a natural skeptic, so I feel you. But hey, in a world where LED bulbs can smooth wrinkles better than Botox, a light bulb that kicks your blues and cleans your air doesn’t seem too far-fetched.

One thing is for certain. In the wintertime, air quality…

Kempf’s handcrafted paper products include journals, magnets, and gift cards. Each of which is created without the use of additional dyes, relying only on what is aly embedded in the papers themselves. The aft…

ShamWow - Anyone Ever Try One?

December 15, 2008

I’m certain you’ve all seen the infomercials for the ShamWow, the cloth that can “hold 20X its weight in water,” according to the manufacturer. You know, the one where the guy soaks up what looks like a bottle worth of soda, just like that, with no drips.

According to the infomercial, the ShamWow is made in Germany, is machine washable and has a ten-year guarantee. And even Olympic swimmers use them!

ShamWows are not cheap, with eight ShamWows going for roughly $20. Of course, whether …

Another Home Another Life in the Country

December 14, 2008

How would you build a place to live whether your goal was to do it yourself and to be as honest and as frugal as you could? To have it both meet your dreams and be a credible undertaking accomplished not by Acme Construction but by human hands?

Lou Ureneck is building and contemplating that home in a series of columns and blog posts for the New York Times. Here’s an excerpt from a recent column:

Building a cabin, I’m finding, can be a lever into a middle-aged man’s rural fantasies. S…

Buy Energy Saving Appliances After Jan 1

December 13, 2008

Okay, I know many of us are strapped for cash at the moment, but in case you have to form a major home purchase in the near future, I have a suggestion. It’s in the headline. Buy your energy-saving appliances, windows, boilers and insulation after the first of the year.

If you live in the U.S. that purchase will aftermath in a $500 credit on your taxes. The energy efficiency tax credit was recently reinstated by Congress, and it’s bound to do you some good on next year’s taxes. That’s cold co…
