War President
You know those posters of Yoda made up of lots of little images from Star Wars? Check out War President, a portrait of President Bush composed of photos of all the American servicemen and women killed in Iraq. Pretty powerful image…

How Much is Inside?
I’m obsessed with How Much is Inside?. I just spent, like, an hour reading it and I’m not even halfway through. Soooo funny, especially the one about Vegemite.
Note: I’m also now obsessed with whether I should have put a period at the end of that first sentence. It just felt wrong to end with a question mark, especially one that was part of a link. I suppose I could have put the site title in quotes, in which case I think an extra period is technically incorrect, but nevertheless that still looks wrong to me. (I’m obsessed with “How Much is Inside?”.) Any thoughts from my fellow grammar-philes?

Free Cone Day
Just a reminder for you lucky folks near a Ben and Jerry’s shop: Next Tuesday is Free Cone Day! They’re also going to be giving away 50,000 iTunes Music Store songs as part of a voter registration drive for young people.

Birthday Color
What’s your birthday color? Mine is “Blue Fog”. It’s boring and the description isn’t me AT ALL: “Many people find you magnetic and lovable. You have a gentle manner that makes you a favorite to be around. You have an ease that makes others feel calm. You are quick-minded but keep much of what you know to yourself. Highly sensual, your personal color helps you guard against going to extremes. Wearing, meditating or surrounding yourself with Blue Fog rekindles your spirit and reminds you to take some time for yourself.” Huh?

What’s your ecological footprint?
What’s your ecological footprint? If everybody lived like me, we’d need 4.4 planets to support us. Ouch. I thought I’d come out better since I don’t own a car, but it doesn’t seem to take carpooling into account. I took the biggest hit in the food category, though. An Atkins diet (with lots of meat and eggs) takes a lot of environment to support. 🙁
