Reality TV shows are quite the rage these days. Even our City of Austin is getting into the game, and it's all for a good cause.
The city has launched a program called Dare to Go Zero. Four local families have accepted a five-week challenge to reduce the amount of trash they generate, and will document their progress on camera. Each family is competing for a chance to win a sustainable home improvement package worth over $2000!
Dare to Go Zero airs Friday nights, 7 Pm, on Austin's local Government Access Channel 6, as well as on YouTube.

People Magazine reported earlier this week that singer Shania Twain is engaged to Swiss businessman Frederic Thiebaud. Back in 2008, Shania and then-husband Robert "Mutt" Lange split after he was allegedly having an affair with Thiebaud's wife.
Let's hope the second time around for Shania will be the charm. Here's a video of her performing a Christmas song on the "Today" show back in 1998. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

When my kids were little, I remember them watching Dora the Explorer. My daughter, in particular, used to watch with rapt attention.
It's hard to believe that Nickelodeon is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dora. I wonder if they knew how successful the show would be when it first began airing. Dora is more than just a little girl; she's become a multibillion-dollar franchise, and millions of children all over the world from many different cultures have benefited from her show.
Happy Anniversary, Dora! Or is it Happy Birthday?
