Have you heard of Greenwala.com?

It’s the first green social network that combines the power of community, content, commerce and convenience. They’ve been live (open to the public) since April of 2008 and have generated over 1 million page views, over 1K green videos, more than 500 eco focused events and over 4K blog and news articles.

…and I’m the newest member of the staff.

The awesome folks at Greenwala (“wala” is a slang term for person in Asia) reached out to me after seeing my work at The Fun Times Guide to Living Green, MNN.com, and other places around the green media world. They invited me to become their Green Tech and Green Biz editor, and I accepted the job.

This gig isn’t in replacement to any of my other staff or freelance jobs, but in addition to everything else I do.

Because of the workload I already have on me, I’m looking for some folks that are interested in green tech and/or business to contribute 1 to 2 short articles a week. If you’re interested contact me.

What will you get for your articles? Like EcoDiva and new Greenwala Beauty and Family editor, Elena Lipson, says:

• You will be a featured writer on Greenwala that will get promoted via our Social Media platform
• Ability to promote yourself and what you do on a daily basis
• Selected content to be featured in our bi-weekly newsletter
• Earn a bonus payment for the success of your article
• Know that your voice is being used to help make a change in the world
• With more than 50k visits per month, your voice will be heard

So again, contact me if you’re interested in contributing. In the mean time check out all the cool features of Greenwala like the articles, petitions, contests, online store, and more.

Remember that awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Bear from the Hiroshima Zoo? Some creative folks have now gone and Jedified it…and you know what a huge Star Wars fan I am.

After watching those videos, one thing appears to be clear….bears must have some sort of molecular anomaly hidden within their DNA that renders them impervious to the business end of lightsabers. Perhaps an abnormally high midi-chlorian count?

I know we’ve had our fair share of random sinkholes recently here in middle TN, but geez, look at this one that opened up in Guatemala City over the weekend!

“Satan, are you down there? This is a giant-ass sinkhole in Guatemala City that appeared over the weekend after tropical storm Agatha (whore! You're no Cristie) battered Central America with rain.

DOWNPOURS caused by tropical storm Agatha have created a giant sinkhole in Guatemala City, while throughout the country officials have reported 120 people dead and at least 53 missing.

The sinkhole, which formed in the northern part of the capital city, swallowed up a space larger than the area of a street intersection.

Residents said a three-storey building and a house fell into the hole. The residents blamed a poor sewerage system for the sinkhole.”

I’ve said that Twilight is nothing but emotional p0rn for women ever since the 1st book came out. Clearly I’m not the only one to make this observation:

+10 geek points if you can cite the origin of the play on words I used the title of this post to caption this pic with.

This is a video of a bear at the Hiroshima Zoo named Cloud. Cloud is trying out for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wants to work the bō staff like Donatello. He’s good too. The Youtube user that shot video claims it has NOT been sped up or altered in away way.

Caveman Circus is back with Episode II of “Star Wars in Odd Places”. Here are 2 of my favorite pictures from this episode:
