Kool-aid consists of 2 quarts of water, kool-aid mix, and 1 cup of sugar. 1 cup of sugar is 196 grams. 2 quarts of water is 64 fluid ounces. That means that Kool-aid has about 3 grams of sugar per ounce.
An eight ounce can of Coca-cola has about 27 grams of sugar. Which works out to about 3.4 grams of sugar per ounce.
Kool-aid is usually made from real (cane) sugar not corn syrup, and doesn't contain any caffeine.

A good chunk of the stuff in our house is packed and in the garage. It makes our house less "full" but it just makes me want to move more!

"Sony hasn't taken open technology very seriously in the past. Its CONNECT music download service was a failure. It was based on OpenMG, a proprietary digital rights management (DRM) technology. At the time, we thought we would make more money that way than with open technology, because we could manage the customers and their downloads," Stringer said, "This approach, however, created a problem: customers couldn't download music from any Websites except those that contracted with Sony. If we had gone with open technology from the start, I think we probably would have beaten Apple Inc of the US." - OSNews.com

Angie and have been house hunting for about a month now. Now that we have two kids it's time to upgrade the house so we have room for everyone. I know it's only been a month, but I'm kind of getting bummed that we haven't found anything more exciting yet.
We've looked at about 15 houses, and only found one that we got excited about. That houe is a short sale, so we put an offer on it. Another person put an offer on it before we did so they have first dibs. It's not looking good. We packed all the "clutter" in our house into boxes to make it more compelling to sell. It just makes me more anxious to move!

I just found that you can get an audio podcast of 60 Minutes. It's the audio of an entire TV episode, so they're about 45 minutes each. Pretty cool.

Gabe wants to get a pet in our next house. He knows Angie's really allergic to animal fur, so his solution is to get a spider and put it in the same room as the pet. Angie is scared of spiders and thus won't go in the room with the pet, and thus won't be allergic. Genius!

The Associated Press
CANBY, Ore. (AP) — CANBY, Ore. (AP) ? The Canby police chief has resigned while facing possible termination resulting from FBI and city investigations into whether he concealed or failed to investigate an officer's steroid abuse.
Greg Kroeplin had been chief of the suburban Portland farming community since January 2006.
The Oregonian reported the 48-year-old Kroeplin had been on paid leave since Nov. 17, a day after the Portland newspaper ran a story with details of the allegations.
The FBI alleged Kroeplin failed to address numerous complaints about former Officer Jason Deason's steroid abuse, enabling Deason to buy steroids on the job and in uniform without any serious investigation.

TOKYO, Japan (TP) — Sony’s computer entertainment division announced Wednesday it will lower the price of its PlayStation 3 console to $199.99 to help boost slacking sales. Sony hopes the price cut, which takes effect Wednesday, will sustain the life of the PS3 and is also bundling the system with the Nintendo Wii in an efforts to win back the gaming community. - DaveAndThomas.net

They're making a new Dragonball show? Dragonball Kai? Same characters? Same art? Am I missing something here?

Aza Raskin has an idea for an iPhone app that would coordinate GPS coordinates, income level, and political affiliation all together. Not only is this a cool concept, but it's totally doable with public information that's already available online.
