Baby Teresa

Baby Teresa gives you an opportunity to Buy Once, Share Twice. When you purchase a Baby Teresa onesie, the baby you purchase it for gets a gorgeous outfit and so does another baby, one you don’t know but one in need. That other baby could be anywhere in the world from an orphanage in Vietnam, a small village in Africa or a family in need in Australia. Baby Teresa allows you to feel twice as good about the one gift.

Space hotel says it’s on schedule to open in 2012

BARCELONA, Spain – A company behind plans to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and time frame for the multi-billion dollar project.

The Barcelona-based architects of The Galactic Suite Space Resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a three-night stay at the hotel, with this price including an eight-week training course on a tropical island.

I think this will happen as soon as the indoor ski resort in DFW will open.

From Oil to Plastic Bottle to back to Oil

A proprietary breakthrough technology developed and perfected over the past 15 years, the Envion Oil Generator™ is the first plastic waste to oil conversion platform of its kind. Utilizing plastic as feedstock, the unit employs a groundbreaking process that produces light oil, medium oil, and emulsified oil as output.

A single Envion unit is capable of processing up to 10,000 tons of plastic waste annually, producing three to five barrels of refined petroleum product per ton of plastic waste. This technology is scalable through the addition of reactors, which facilitate the conversion of new plastic waste (as well as plastic currently sitting in landfills) into a renewable and invaluable resource.

New Game Turns Baby Doll into Wiimote Attachment

We’ve seen bizarre Wii remote accessories before (this bowling ball encasement certainly comes to mind), but everyone else can quit now — 505 Games has won. Because as Aussie-Nintendo reports (via Kotaku), their latest Wii exclusive title Baby and Me encases your Wii inside a baby.

No, really. The special edition of this child-rearing game aimed at little girls comes with a baby doll with a slot in its back for the Wii remote, which allows the doll to react “by giggling, gurgling or crying through the Wii remote [speaker].”

Bag of Randomness

• Alanis Morissette sang the U.S. national anthem before the start of the World Series last night.  That was a bit of surprised because I know that she is Canadian, but after a little research I found that she became a U.S. citizen back in 2005 and maintains dual citizenship.
• Her rendition of it wasn’t bad, but it was just ‘different’ if you are familiar with her voice.
• Another person’s view of the First Baptist Dallas project.
• Dr. James Dobson is leaving radio.
• I love it when Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory talks about his Texas upbringing.
• It’s fun watching the Saints and Vikings play.
• Jared Allen is my mid-season favorite for MVP.
• I wonder how much stuff or scouting Jon Gruden is doing this season.
• I love it when the Yankees are in the World Series – it just feels right.  But it was better when they were still in the old Yankee Stadium.
• America’s Less-Fattening Favorite Foods
• This essay made me laugh.
• WifeGeeding ate a pound of potato salad in less than 24 hours.  She even had it for breakfast the other day.
• I’m still not use to the new CNN.com
• My laptop battery is about to die and the cord is out of reach, so Bag of Randomness is going to end here.
