I just read this article which in short is about how voters can sign up to receive an e-mail or text message as soon as Obama makes his decision for vice president. I was so happily surprised when I read this. Not because I am so super-stoked about knowing who Obama’s VP will be, but because of his use of technology.

Being from the Motorcity, I pay a lot of attention to cars. Since coming to Richmond, I’ve made observations while I have been here and I’ve come to the conclusion that being brand-loyal doesn’t seem like a big thing here.

I got a forwarded email today from my mom about protective foods in nature that reflect in their appearance what they help protect in your body. Wow, that was a mouthful. But actually,I thought it was kind of interesting so decided to share it. Most of them are things that you probabaly already knew, but I never put two and two together.

For the vegetarians/vegans in Richmond:

I just tried a great new chinese takeout place. China Panda, on Sheppard St, is owned by the same family that own’s Panda Garden, and serves the same chinese fare. However, what sets this apart from the other chinese establishments in the area is it doesn’t have solely bean curd dishes for vegetarians. It has mock meats as well! That’s super exciting to me at least.  I ordered the Mock General Tso’s Chicken. It was fa-bu-lous. Its relatively priced and quickly made. For $6, its worth a try, right?
