  • Stewart Tears Apart The Dems On MA-SEN And Health Care (VIDEO) | TPM LiveWire
    summary: how stupid can democrat politicians be? someone said (i forgot who) that we deserve the politicians we get. great.
  • Colorful writing – The Mex Files
    the fine art of "notas rojas" (red notes). Mex Files details the "purple prose typical of the yellow journalism" of police reports in local mexican newspapers: "While sometimes the author — to stretch out the word count — has to resort to low tricks like referring to a police car as a “blue and white 2008 Dodge Neon, with plate number… “, the nota rota writer strives for variation in his or her craft. The banality of criminal activity sometimes reduces even the most creative of nota roja writers to clichés (there are a plethora of ways to say “corpse” — the center of attention but least interesting character in any murder story – all of which have been use to death), but the best are true artists. They still manage to surprise us, enlighten us and delight us with their mastery of the language."
  • Jessica Hische / Humble Pied.
    great newish video + ichat based site about creatives sharing advice. and the best quote I've heard all week: "“The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life.” – Jessica Hirsche
  • I Gave My 3 Year Old an iPhone: Have I Created a Monster?
    awesome piece on young children using the iphone to learn. some of you are already cringing (yes you, in the back), but I think it's great. this kind of thing is gonna be so standard in 20 years. I thin it's kind of scary to think that the jobs your kids will have when they grow up, won't be invented til they're in high school. and your kids will learn two to four times as much as you have, in your whole lifetime, by the time they get out of college.

  • YouTube – adidas Originals – Star Wars Collection
    the shoes? meh. but that Imperial March remix is wicked awesome.
  • Polaroid PIC 1000
    mock-ups of the new film-based under-$100 Polaroid cameras that are coming out. These are the result of The Impossible Project that I linked to a while back. They bought the rights to produce Polaroid cameras and film stock. Freakin' awesome. I'll have the wood grain one, thank you!

  • Bruce Haley's Tao of War Photography
    Bruce Haley is one of the masters of war photo journalism. Here he runs down 63 worrisome/funny/disgusting/hilarious ruminations on death, god, photography, war, famine etc… definitely worth a sunday read. his sense of humor is – how would you say, um "colorful" or better yet "baroque". This guy must be a total trip at dinner parties.

    very cool server side script for minimal no-fuss portfolio sites. kinda like "indexr". i love this flavor, i might just use it for my portfolio site, since I can't get around to designing/coding a proper site.
  • Naturally sweetened CocaCola: Made in Mexico, popular in U.S. | The News
    interesting article on Mexican Coke with sugar cane instead of high fructose corn syrup. I'm calling bullshit. The article says that some scientists don't think HFCS is bad for you and Coke says there is no perceivable difference between cane sugar and HFCS – Yeah and – we have always been at war with Eurasia.
