I saw the Method cleaning products guys present at PSFK in San Francisco last year before returning back to Beijing for the Olympics . I was really impressed with their *warning - overused but in this case appropriate word-alert* passion for their business. Nice guys doing nice to the environment products.

Chris Bosh's offseason transformation began in an unlikely place -- his couch. Early into his summer, Bosh decided to watch the championship game from the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

I compiled this quiz for our workplace today. Can you answer any of them? By the way, I do not watch soaps...I had to look them up...except for the Simpsons and Ena Sharples. Thanks Eileen for the answer to the minim question. It would have been embarrassing to have set the question and not be sure of the answer...I was a 1/4 out!
