The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Now they are coming after your TV set

quoted from another blog:

"Plasma TVs: The SUVs of the Living Room
By Saul Hansell

That sleek flat-panel TV may look small, but it could well be a big power hog.

When the Australian government wanted to create a six-star system to rate the energy efficiency of television sets, it found that most of the big plasma sets wouldn’t meet its minimum requirements. They could be banned as a result."
