Please America - WAKE UP To This Epidemic!

How is it that nowadays EVERYONE I know has an Autistic child in their family? This is becoming an Epidemic of Apocalyptic proportions right under our noses and most of us don't even realize what's going on. The Government insists that Vaccines have nothing to do with this. What are they hiding? We as parents of Autistic children are always willing to cooperate and we pay THOUSANDS of Dollars in tests that become redundent - if not unnecessary -and even uncomfortable for our children in the hopes that one day we might have a conclusive answer to our dilemma. Please support us in this fight!

My Theory on Goobony - Revisited

I personally like this article because it demonstrates my theory on the dark background. This is why I created Goobony.com in the first place; not to mention the background radiation theory. Anyhow, here's the link to the story:

Stephen Wiltshire - The Human Camera

As an Autistic child's parent, I found this video very interesting and a breath of hope that soon my son can also be as talented as this young man. My son is a 9 year old Typical Functional Autistic and he is very talented in Math. Anyway, enjoy Stephen Wiltshire's talent!

About Power Tools

I recently got into a heated discussion with a friend of mine on which power tools were the most dependable power tools on the market. It actually boiled down to a few major brands of tools and a few of the cheaper ones that were pretty good. So here goes the short list:

1. Milwaukee power tools
2. Porter-Cable
3. Makita power tools
4. Bosch power tools

Now the order can be debated, but we believe that these four brands of power tools are actually the best on the retail market.

What do you guys think?

Gee, Thanks!

Does this sound ridiculous to you? I think the Mainland has enough stray dogs, but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, here is the actual article I picked up from Yahoo!.com:

US shelters take in Caribbean dogs



YABUCOA, Puerto Rico - Some visitors to Puerto Rico are leaving with an unusual souvenir — one of the thousands of scrappy abandoned dogs that roam the island's beaches.

Hundreds of abandoned canines are being scooped up and flown to the U.S.: some by tourists unexpectedly touched by their plight, others as part of an expensive organized rescue effort.

But critics say the canine airlift does little to reduce the problem of stray dogs in Puerto Rico and ends up fueling overcrowding at the U.S. shelters, where many of the dogs inevitably end up.

At least 175 dogs have been rescued in the last couple of years from Yabucoa Beach, which activists nicknamed "Dead Dog Beach" because of the strays that roam the coast and are sometimes found dead of disease, starvation or gunshots. Similar rescue efforts have been undertaken in the Bahamas and elsewhere in the Caribbean.

The Save A Sato Foundation — "sato" is Puerto Rican for mutt — recruits volunteers to bring dogs back on commercial flights and sends between 1,500 and 2,000 dogs a year from Puerto Rico to American shelters, where they are often quickly adopted.

Other dogs return unexpectedly with American tourists, who often call the Humane Society International seeking advice on how to bring back dogs they find in the Caribbean.

Christina Aquilino, 39, of Mendon, Mass., has flown to Puerto Rico twice to bring back abandoned dogs on her own initiative after she adopted a Puerto Rican Jack Russell-terrier mix named Odie in her hometown.

She has spent more than $800 on airline tickets, staying less than 24 hours on the island each time. The dogs often ride in crates in the cargo hold, but Aquilino brought two tiny Chihuahua look-alikes back home with her in the cabin.

"It's money well-spent," she said. "To see these dogs board the planes ... it brings tears to my eyes."

But the Humane Society discourages such measures and instead wants Puerto Rico and other parts of the Caribbean to develop their own animal welfare programs, said Kelly O'Meara, its director of international programs.

"We don't see importing animals into the U.S. as a solution," she said. "We have our share of homeless animals already."

However, some shelter managers in the U.S. say some people specifically ask for "satos" from Puerto Rico or "potcakes" from the Bahamas, named after the discarded "cake" that a peas-and-rice dish leaves at the bottom of a pot.

"Potcakes seem to be pretty athletic," said Bridget Barry, a veterinarian at a shelter in Ithaca, N.Y. "I guess you have to be tough to survive on the streets."

At Yabucoa Beach, scores of dogs roam an abandoned marina, surviving on garbage scraps and drinking from salty puddles but attracting little public sympathy or attention from Puerto Rico's government.

There's no pet registration law in Puerto Rico and little spaying or neutering, so animal shelters are overwhelmed and must kill many of the dogs they receive, said Victor Collazo, president of the island's Association of Medical Veterinarians.

Florida-based Manos por Patas — Hands for Paws — recruits veterinarians to help control strays in Puerto Rico by spaying and neutering, while also seeking volunteers to fly them to the U.S.

The group has helped rescue about 175 dogs in recent years from Yabucoa Beach, said Ginny Cornett, a biologist from Florida who visits Puerto Rico a couple times a year. But most strays are too sick or aggressive to travel, so they are spayed or neutered and released back into the wild.

Dog-lovers have to do something, Cornett said.

"After you see it," she said, "you can't walk away."

New Goobony Logo



Goobony is sporting a new logo! After a few weeks of using the very tired Google-like font, I decided to go ahead and try something more original and contemporary. For all my font logos, I am using a really cool website called http://www.cooltext.com/ where you can make your own original logo and save it on your pc, download it or whatever you want. It provides for thousands if not millions of variations which will make your logo unique. So again, thanks to cooltext.com!


Back to Goobony. Most of you don't know this, but I have an autistic son. I have been surfing around the net looking for info on this condition and I have found many websites and blogs on the subject. I have decided to donate a large percentage of the money I make from the searches on Goobony to the OAR (Organization for Autism Research) and my local organization for autistic children (AlianzaAutismo) in an effort to provide these great Organizations with the necessary tools for research and development of comprehensive educational guidelines for every autistic child in America and Puerto Rico.


So, if you want to help out, you can donate to these fine Organizations directly or just go to Goobony.com and search, search, search!

A Black Google

Does a white screen really emit more scatter radiation than a black screen? It has been debated. Does a white screen consume more energy than a black screen? It has been theorized. Either way, do we really need to endure an unnecessary risk just because it's consequences haven't been proven yet?

Take for example the most utilized search engine (or website, for that matter) in the world, Google. If the white screen consumes more energy theory is true, than we are wasting more than a little time each day doing our searches. If the white screen emits more radiation than a black screen is true, why not uphold the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principal?

Goobony (Google+ebony)is a new search engine, powered by Google, created with these basic principals in mind. By setting Goobony as your homepage you are making a difference in your own life by possibly protecting yourself from the damaging effects of scatter radiation, while conserving energy with every computer startup.

Sure, maybe this effect is very minimal individually; but if you spread the word, little by little we could save thousands of kVh every day! And that, my friends, could potentially make a difference for future generations.
