If you’re Jonesing for some Skittles and you like that whole Midas Touch thing then you’ll love this new Skittles commercial which features a guy who “guesses it’s pretty awesome” to turn everything he touches into Skittles. Except, of course, the guy he shook hands with on the bus this morning.

On the Internet, as in life, men and women have different motivations for doing what they do. According to a recent report from Pew Internet and American Life, women view the Internet as a place to extend, support, and nurture relationships and communities.

Men tend to see it as an office, a library, or a playground–screw the community, this is about function not family.

The report found that women are more enthusiastic communicators, using email in a more robust way. Not only sending and receiving more email than men, women are more likely to write to family and friends about a variety of topics, sharing news, joys and worries, planning events, and forwarding jokes and stories.

While both sexes equally appreciate the efficiency and convenience of email, women are more likely than men to value the medium for its positive effects on improving relationships, expanding networks, and encouraging teamwork at the office.

“Women also value email for a kind of positive, water-cooler effect, which lightens the atmosphere of office life,” reads the 54-page report.

The report found that women are more likely to use the Internet for emailing, getting maps and directions (after all, we men always know where we’re going), looking for health and medical information, seeking support for health and personal problems, and getting religious information.

Britney Spears’ new perfume ad has folks buzzing about what fiendish spell she must have cast to inhabit the body of an unsuspecting and malnourished 18-year-old. But what’s with all the conspiracy theory about a body double?

For one, wouldn’t they have gone ahead and sprung for a believable head double? For another, it’s an ad, people, not a product of high ethical standards like a magazine cover.

With the lousy economy in Michigan, most towns and cities have been struggling with shrinking revenues from state and local property taxes. All over the state, public employees have been getting laid off. There are, of course exceptions, with Bloomfield Hills north of Detroit being one of them. How many cops have you seen cruising around your neighborhood in $100,000 Cadillac XLR-Vs?

A landlord said he wanted people to see the pain of his property tax bill when he hauled $12,656.07 in coins and $1 bills to the county treasurer’s office.

Cary Malchow said the heavy load left him “out of breath” but it was worth watching three cashiers working overtime and guarded by sheriff’s deputies on Monday to count every last cent of the semi-annual payment for his home, business and rental properties.

“I did it so people can physically see what $12,000 is,” said Malchow, who has staged other recent protests to draw attention to Indiana’s property tax increases.

It took 75 minutes to count out the cash, said Delaware County Treasurer Warren Beebe.

“They were fast, they were hustling. They’re used to counting money, but of course that left other people standing in line. It was an awkward situation,” Beebe said Tuesday.

Malchow’s protest prevented the office from making its daily bank deposit, costing the county an estimated $1,135.90 in interest that would have otherwise accrued overnight, Beebe said.
