When I started TechCrunch nearly three years ago it was meant to be little more than a hobby. I love startups, and writing about them was fun, not work. But since then this hobby has grown into a real business. We have a number of full and part time employees that need to get paid [...]
Our pals at ReadyMade Magazine, one of our favorite dead-tree mags, have taken the “dead tree” part out of the equation and launched a digital edition of their DIY-inspired, design-focused publication. Starting with the current issue — fittingly, the “Green Design” issue — it’s available in a slick paperless format, featuring all the same content as the paper version without all the paper; it even has some extra bells and whistles that its paper counterpart can’t deliver, like direct links to online exclusives and a clickable table of contents.
Perhaps the…
Wholemato is a whole new way of looking at ketchup. Sweetened with plant-derived agave nectar, rather than the typical corn syrup, the certified-organic condiment also has a glycemic index of 7, meaning that you won’t experience sudden spikes in your blood sugar. In fact, the ketchup is certified low glycemic by the Glycemic Research Institute of Washingon D.C., making it suitable for diabetics.
In our taste tests, we found the ketchup to be the perfect marriage of sweet and tangy spices, and one reviewer commented that it wasn’t as oily or …

I’ve been meaning to post about Whisher for a while but they just launched some nice beta software so it seems like the right time. The company is based in Barcelona and they showed me their alpha code back in February. Now, however, they’re ready to go live.
Whisher is essentially a metered hotspot system. [...]
This morning I checked out Ping.fm, a fairly new service in the social network aggregation space that lets you update your status on several sites at once. So I can submit “Mark is brushing his teeth” to it and both my Facebook friends and Twitter followers will see the message.
The site, which is currently in [...]
With a few notable exceptions, the hard-living, party-hearty, carbon-pumping world of rock ‘n roll excess doesn’t earn many green points. But that’s going to change, thanks to Tommy Lee and Ludacris and a new show on Planet Green called Battleground Earth. Yep, rock and rap are going head to head in a battle against the toxic forces destroying the planet as the two travel across the country on a 10-episode tour.
The show premieres in August and follows the duo’s attempts…
I recently discovered that April is dubbed, Keep America Beautiful month. I am happy to live in a well-maintained field, but here there is evidence of abuse and neglect of the earth. I suppose God simply shaking his head in disappointment at the way in which we treat this beautiful world He created. 1 Corinthians 6:9 tells us that the people who are destroying the earth and everything in it does not qualify as citizens of the kingdom of God. Although I am not a hard-core environmentalist, I think it's probably a good idea to be good stewards of what we have and do our part to take care of the beautiful world that God entrusted to us.
I also think that it is a wonderful idea to teach our children about how they can help prevent the earth in a state that glorifies the God who created. And the sooner we start teaching them how to do it, how beautiful it will be. So although this is technically vacation, “Keep America Beautiful”, the principle is the same across the world. Here are three things that we can do with our children, our earth looking beautiful.
