  • Marriages, emails and the end of the world?

    Either you support gay marriages or you don’t, either way in less than 90 days it seems like a big decision will be made that could effect how marriages will be handled from state to state. Over at Pam’s House Blend she’s got word of an ‘Armageddon’ email which elaborates on how the other side feels.

  • The V foundation gives back

    It’s good when you see non-profit groups and other institutions work together for a common cause and that’s just what the V Foundation and N.C. State has done. After months of meetings they’ve created an opportunity that will benefit both cancer patients and college students who may want to go into the cancer research field [...]

  • A motel experience you won’t forget

    You may think you’ve had terrible motel experiences. Maybe there were stained sheets, cockroaches or sketchy folks hanging around. But, Google says the title of “worst motel experience” goes to Eric and Leandra, a Durham couple who didn’t enjoy their stay in San Rafael.

  • A Beyond wine reunion, 2 years later

    What do you get when you mix two wine geeks and blog? You get triangleVINO.com It seems like the two got a little wine happy the other day in Durham when they spotted ‘Beyond’ a white wine they tried in South Africa two years ago. Enjoy!

  • Who has the No. 1 blog in the Triangle?

    In all the months that I’ve been reading Triangle blogs, I’ve apparently been missing “the No. 1 blog in the Triangle.” So says Mike Williams, a columnist for the N&O who blogs on the newspaper’s share site. If you don’t agree, thats OK, because he doesn’t “care what you say.” Watch the video.

  • It’s not Duke Blue but Duke Green

    Going green has to be the #1 “IT” thing to do now of days. Everyone from small and large business are going green and it’s good to see colleges getting involved with it as well. I first saw this post on the NC-GO-Green blog, Duke makes top green colleges list, congrats.

  • Digital billboards coming to a Durham road near you?

    Apparently, Fairway Outdoor Advertising wants permission to replace some of its billboards in Durham with digital ones. Bull City Rising lights up this request, which was reported in the Herald-Sun, but since the newspaper’s Web site requires registration, we bring you the blog version.

  • Threads are mobile too!

    Not to leave the our iPhone, windows smartphone and other mobile devices out in the cold we created a mobile version of 30THREADS. The cool part about is that you don’t have to know another url just point your mobile browser over to 30THREADS.com and it will auto redirect, but the url is below just [...]

  • Let’s cut a rug for some rain

    It may be time to meet up to do a little rain dance. The Keefers, a Durham couple, would love to see some of that precious water pour from the sky.  BTW, anyone remember that Andy Griffith Show episode where the gypsies come to town and do a rain dance?

  • If your pet starts foaming at the mouth, this could be why

    A Wake County raccoon has rabies, and a stray cat in the area might also. So this might be a good time to make sure your pets are up to date on their vaccinations.
