(Videos) Making Censorship Fun
These people have made the black boxes and bars of censorship fun! I’d warn you of nudity, but the sensitive bits are all, of course, censored.

(Videos) Reason.TV on Ethanol
Reason.TV has recently released this video about ethanol production, the politics surrounding it and how it affects food production worldwide.
In all honesty, I am less concerned about the environmental and political debates that surround ethanol production. I am much more concerned with how ethanol production seriously affects food production. A good companion article to the video above is Sacrificing food for ethanol.

I spend a lot of time on TED. At least when I do this, I know it is never time wasted.

(Pictures) “Poppy Seed Pods” by Anne Staub
I randomly came across the work of Anne Staub on RedBubble recently. She has a real knack for macro photography and obviously an eye for detail. Below is one of my favorite photographs of hers, featuring four poppy seed pods. I love how the colors just (ironically) “pop” up from the deep blue background.
If you like the picture, consider purchasing a card or print of it. You can also see more of Anne’s work on her RedBubble portfolio and website.
