Curious George Uses a Slow Cooker. Also known as a crockpot. Winter is almost upon us down under and it will soon be time to haul out the slow cooker. I had a recipe book but had to give it back to my sister before she got mad at me, and I'm too stingy to buy another. Share your tips, recipes or links to recipes for everyone here!

Late night talk-show for sale, barely used (screenshot available if the Craigslist post is pulled). You've undoubtedly heard something about the longish and complicated saga between Conan and Leno. (And if not, and you feel you must know, here's a decent summary on AskMefi.) Now Conan is selling the show, or at least trading it in for Coldplay tix. Conan also apologises for the hair.

Get Healthcare Reform Right offers virtual cash in return for completing a form which is sent to government representatives. Now, in response, Healthcare For America Now has countered with ads of its own.

Curious George: Online teaching resources I'm about to go out teaching again, but this time my class is quite different, with 30 children age 11-13 all with varying degrees of either dyslexia, autism, or dyspraxia, or perhaps combinations in some instances.

There's a zombie on your lawn! Plants vs Zombies. It's a very cute, horribly addictive game. Download for an hour of free play, or create your zombified avatar on their website. If, like me, you are hooked after half an hour, you can get it for $10US from here. Hopefully in the demo version you get to see the Michael Jackson zombie.

I have a good feeling about this. Ads promoting Star Wars weekends at Disney World. Pepsi Blue, yet cute. more inside

Lost: the cake. So maybe I'm one of the few who can't stop watching Lost. And I have this fondness for Hurley. Turns out he has a blog. And also that they recently filmed their 100th episode, so celebrated with a cake by TV's Ace of Cakes. The details are amazing.
