Would You Like A Free iPhone?
The Garage Sale Tracker is giving away 2 iPhones , one on Twitter and one on Facebook. {{Whoohoo!}} In all honesty, I would not be able to accomplish all that I do with out my iPhone. I answer e-mail, coordinate carpools and play dates via text, capture my life via Whrrl, take pictures of my kiddos on the fly, Facebook, Twitter, and more! All from a nifty hand held device that I couldn’t life without.

Chrissie Hynde Rocks Philly Against McCruelty
No one—and I mean no one —rocks like Chrissie Hynde . Whether she’s fronting the Pretenders or backing a PETA campaign, the vegan Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is never in the ” Middle of the Road .” In fact, she’s always willing to go the extra mile (or ” 2000 Miles “) to help animals. Case in point

Good News About Baa-d Moves in Australia
3268zauber / CC by 3.0 Holy Guacamole Vegemite! The Fremantle City Council just voted to phase out the live export of sheep from its port.

I’ve got summer on the brain and have been spending my time planning a fun summer full of crafts and activities for the kids.

Nuns Close Chicken Farm, Open Massage Parlor
Here’s something you won’t hear too often: Austrian nuns opened a health spa to raise money for their convent after their chicken farm “fell flat.” The nuns even use high-pressure hoses to spray chilled water at guests to stimulate their skin. The whole thing might not sound very conventional (there’s no buff masseuse in a muscle shirt), but, hey, it’s better than a chicken-breeding business

Canadians: Seals Need You–Canada Is Their Home Too
Many Canadians are against their country’s annual seal slaughter —the biggest massacre of marine mammals in the world—but the Canadian government has yet to put a stop to it. Not only is the government supporting the barbaric acts of bludgeoning and shooting baby seals, it is also spending taxpayer dollars to do so

Spice Up Your (Love) Life!
It’s Cinco de Mayo, and these spicy señoritas—dressed in sizzling chili-pepper bikinis—have certainly grabbed my attention: Our campaigners have been on the road handing out chili-shaped vegan chocolates across the country, along with plenty of information about why eating meat, eggs, and dairy products just isn’t, well, hot . In particular, the lovely ladies are making the point that adopting a vegan diet can lead to a phenomenal physique and generate plenty of heat in the bedroom .

Veganism Has a New Face and It Is …
That’s right. Yesterday, heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson revealed to audience members during a taping of CenterStage that he’s gone vegan. (The interview is scheduled to air on May 26.) I’m sure they were all ears and eager to learn why the aspiring reality show star/pigeon exploiter has embraced the diet of choice for those who care about themselves, animals, and the planet

Gaming Goes ‘Old Skool’
If you prefer Atari to Wii or have dreams of getting your name on the Galaga Top Ten High Score Table, We’d like to introduce you to what could easily become your new addiction: Escape From the Slaughterhouse . Created by Mikael Romlin, this game is for the “old skool” gamer in all of us. It has a Crystal Castles feel, but instead of collecting gems and trying to escape Berthilda the Witch, you are searching for cages in each level in order to set your friends free and trying to escape from the slaughterhouse.
