Hopeful study shows that it's not that hard to go BPA free.

Aside from drinking water out of glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic bottles, there is a lot more we can do to eliminate BPA from our lives. The good news is that those efforts will be rewarded almost immediately. A recent study showed that after only three days of living BPA free, the level of BPA in the participants' systems dropped by more than 60%!

People put a lot of dumb videos of their kids up on YouTube, but this one is enthralling! These 17 month olds are having a real conversation, no doubt. I wonder what they'll be like when they have words...

Trying to un-gay yourself? There's an app for that.

Apple has approved an app designed by Exodus International, a Christian group that says it can help people rid themselves of "unwanted same sex attractions". Not only did Apple approve the app, but they gave it a "4" rating, meaning that it had what the company deemed, "no objectionable material".

Need to find a place to charge up your electric vehicle? There's an app for that.

Not only does PlugShare ease electric car owners "range anxiety", it also subverts the idea that we have to wait for charging infrastructure to be expanded before we hop onto the e-car bandwagon. It allows you to post your address if you wish to let people give you some pocket change to charge at their home in a pinch. Privacy issues aside, this is an excellent grass roots response to the lag in a support system for cleaner vehicles.

Download the FREE app here. Happy charging!
