Coffee Roaster Cleans Up A River

-
I'm starting to get more and more press releases in my Inbox every day. This is a good thing though it does mean weeding through a bunch of absolute crap as well.

However, if you want to get me to post on something, then just send me what you're doing to actually make the world a little bit of a better place.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is doing just that. They are spending a week cleaning up Vermont's Winooski River. Last year, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters employees cleaned 10 miles of the Winooski River and pulled out 110 tires, 3.1 tons of metal, 17 cubic yards of trash, two snowmobiles, and a Chevy Truck.

Not a bad haul and I'm sure the river is much prettier for it.

These guys also donate 5 per cent of their pre-tax profits to worthy causes. This is the kind of stuff that will make me buy their coffee.

Hey, I may not get the most traffic on the Web here, but I get enough for it to make sense to send me some info about what you're company might be doing.

Only 8 months after real absinthe has become legalized in the U.S., the importers and overseas producers have really started taking advantage of the buzz and mystique that absinthe holds and launching like crazy here. With more absinthe launches than vodka lately, it may not be long until the brands are just as gimmicky. Three new absinthe's have launched this week in hopes of garnering early market share in a soon-to-be-crowded market. La Fee Absinthe Parisienne is made in Paris and has been around for a while as it's been sold in 20 countries for the last 10 years or so. The product is made by traditional standards and the owner of the recipe still approves each batch of La Fee. For a while, Lucid Absinthe was the only one you could get in the US as it wasn't made from the traditional Grand Wormwood (until March of 2007) so it could get away with going around the law. The producers guessed that the stuff that was considered a fake (but still very flavorful) wasn'...

Some thanks and virtual bartender

As of last week we averaged over 1,000 users per day. That's pretty damned cool. I'm surprised to see it myself considering how poor we rank on Technorati, but Performancing.com doesn't lie! In case you live under a rock, the Virtual Bartender are girls that do as you command, just like any good bartender does. They each have a huge list of commands and the most recent version has two girls. The shot pictured is them doing Star Wars. But they make out, shake ass, and many other things (no nudity, but plenty of cheesecake). They seem to do a lot of stuff except being able to make a martini. Brilliant.
