Jason, Razoo's Creative Director, worked really hard on improving the look, feel and organization of the home page for Razoo. We made these changes based on member feedback, best practices and what some Keebler elves told us.
Also, you will notice we got rid of the splash screen located at http://beta.razoo.com and had it redirected to http://community.razoo.com. The beloved video on Razoo has been moved to the home page Jason freshened up, so you can still show it off to your friends for a little inspiration.

If it wasn't bad enough that the United States is the number one producer of waste on our lovely little planet, it looks like our government is going for intergalactic gold by dumping trash in space.
Yesterday I was watching the news when I saw footage of astronauts hucking a 1400-pound container of ammonia and a 212-pound camera mount into orbit. The images have lurked in my head ever since then, so this afternoon I thought I'd Google the term "space trash" to read more about galactic littering.
It's not all bad news though. Apparently, "... both items will be tracked by radar until they tumble from space and burn up in Earth's atmosphere."
"OK. That sounds good," I thought to myself. Then I read more ... "The video mounting is expected to completely disintegrate, but pieces of the ammonia tank as large as 17.5 kg (39 pounds) could survive and strike Earth."
Sweet. So, basically the next time I'm riding my bike I could get hit by an ammonia-turned-meteor-shower. Awesome.
Hey, maybe NASA should enter our Trash Castle contest? I'm sure they could use the $100 iTunes prize.
