In the spirit of filling in the gaps between substantive posts, I thought I'd introduce a new type of entry in which I merely advert to various points of interest I've come across during the past couple of days. The topics to which I will point in such posts will vary greatly; however, they will also likely reflect my own interests. Please feel free to comment on the articles themselves, or on any biases I reveal in the selection process. While I don't intend for these to be the most serious of posts, dialogue is always welcome. Thus, without further ado:
1. Remember Haiti? Issue-attention cycle on news coverage of disasters. (enlarged version of that truly fantastic graph)
2. Nixon's profound reasoning behind drug war policy.
3. A very cool new google-map color-coding the world according to its level of 'touristiness'
4. The impending diplomacy dilemma at the World Cup
5. While many have questioned Sarah Palin's English proficiency, the editors of Vanity Fair have provided a particularly visible illustration. I'm reminded of an article I came across during her vice-presidential bid.
6. Do calories count if I drink them? A wonderful feat of photography confirming it does.

ReplyDeleteThere is so much to think about. Thanks for all the really great links.
I cant believe anyone actually drinks those ColdStone shakes! Good grief!
and...Would someone please give Sarah a brain?

Good stuff Cam. Loved the Palin piece. Maybe the series of colleges she passed through on the way to her degree lost her transcripts and never figured out that she couldn't get through English 1A. Also loved the Nixon-Linkletter dialogue; OMG.
ReplyDeleteI'm having fun reading your posts. Keep it up!
