Hair helps mop up oil spills!

Do you ever have those days when you do absolutely nothing constructive and time just drags, then follow them up by doing 18 things before your morning coffee gets cold? That's my day today! Exhilarating, no? :-D

Moving on, let's take a look at what's lighting up the tech talking boards this morning across WebLand:

--Is your computer keeping you up at night? Are you sabotaging your night's sleep by texting until the wee hours, but don't know why? Try this new download that changes your screen hue based on time of day.

--Kobo's new e-readers will be available at Borders for $150. I don't like Borders -- there, I said it. We've got the classic rivalry going on in my home town, and our Barnes and Noble is gorgeous, library-like establishment with high ceilings and quiet rows ... then the Borders has stacks of books on the floor and art deco everywhere and cheap trinkets ... Anyways, it's no contest. I'm not a fan.

--This video/article on the oil spill makes me a little light-headed. I've been thus far avoiding the story because the idea of all that oil spilling into the ocean hurts my heart and soul. I want to cry for the animals and the environmental disaster, but instead I'm the coward ostrich choosing to stick my head in the sand to not deal with it. I know, I'm hiding a pretty hard-core environmentalist under all this pink hair.

--Speaking of hair: Did you know getting your hair cut can help with the oil spill cleanup? Yup, apparently hair is a good sponge. Contact your local salon and make sure all the clippings and scraps are going toward the effort. Mine does, I already called.

--I need a distraction ... Oooh, these bamboo iPhone cases are pretty ...

--Is your Facebook page valuable? Check this site and find out.

We've got a fun week of posts headed your way next week with Captivate's Burger Week! Each and ever Captivate blog will feature something about summer barbecues and entertainment options, and the new Captivate Watering Hole will hook you up with some great drink options!

See ya then!
