Robert Smithson’s “Spiral Jetty”, is visible again thanks to the drastic drop in water level at the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The picture was taken from a Canon point-and-shoot camera attached to a latex weather balloon.

» 5 Houseplants That Clean Your Air | Mother Jones
Another houseplant plus: They can clean your air. A team of horticulturists at the University of Georgia recently tested 28 common houseplants to see how well they removed volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—noxious chemicals found in paints, glues, cleaners, and other things around the home—from indoor air. They found that most of the plants tested filtered at least some of the chemicals.

Walking for 24 hours and taking photos every couple of (feet?/seconds?) is the basis for the several visually fascinating clips in this video. Very cool.

Thanks, Dad. Thanks, brother. Thanks, uncles. Thanks to hundreds of years of soldiers, sailors, fliers, and Marines for putting their lives on the line for the idea that is us.

*JPJ is kinda like a King of the Rock Age, right?

I bet you didn’t realize that “The Matrix” films were just remakes of this Charlie Chaplin silent film from 1905! There are no surviving English-language copies of the film, but this Russian version has surfaced in utterly pristine condition.

A collaborative mapping project to build a database of bloggers who have been threatened, arrested or killed for speaking out online and to draw attention to the campaigns to free them.
I’m not sure if I’m surprised that there are actually 2 bloggers from the US who have been arrested and released pending trial. The US bloggers are Elisha Strom, who was doing some investigative journalism on a drug task force, and Elliott Madison, who tweeted the impending arrival of police to protesters at the G20 meeting in Pittsburgh this past September.

I haven’t been around for a while, so I’m not sure how things are going on the ‘Vine. Has the signal:noise ration gotten any better? It’s sad that development has slowed so far down.

This guy loves his soda pop! He’s a connoisseur of the type you usually find talking about wine or beer. You can tell that he’s excited to get up and go to work every day.
He also makes an interesting political point, saying that every small business owner should be wary of the government. But his reason is not the typical libertarian/selfish reason. Instead, it’s because big business loves big government and vice versa. Small business needs to watch out because government will do all it can to promote big business at the expense of small businesses.
Don’t miss his website, The Soda Pop Stop.
