PS22 sings “Lisztomania” by Phoenix, and it is literally awesome.
The best scene of Star Trek Generations is this, and it is hilarious.
World Record: Fastest spelling of “backwards” backwards.
“2009 had cooler cell phones than 2008. 2010 has cooler cell phones than 2009. 2011 will have even cooler cell phones than 2010.
That won’t be progress. Year in, year out, we have cooler cell phones. If it’s the same year in, year out, how can it be progress? Because it’s not actually progress. It’s more of the same.
Ho hum. Another year goes by. Ho hum. Another year where some of the human race’s best minds concentrate on making better cell phones.
What would constitute real progress?
Far away from us, one billion people in the world have no access to clean drinking water. Because of this, far away from us, a child dies of diarrhea every 15 seconds.
If I could choose, I would give up my Blackberry Curve and any other cell phone I’ve had or will have if it would mean no one died of thirst. I think most people feel that way. People have big hearts.
Ask the average person: Do you want to watch TV on your cell phone or save the world’s children from dying of diarrhea? I know what they’d say. People are good.
Yet: The people we are proud of for having the smartest brains work, not on water, but on bringing us still better cell phones.
What would be real progress?
When we find a way to put our brains where our hearts are. When we find a way use our big brains to facilitate the desires of our big hearts.
When we find a way to concentrate on bringing clean drinking water to the billion people who don’t have it instead of looking for a way to bring better TV reception to our cell phones.
That would be progress.

OK Go makes yet another amazing music video.
New Music Video! OK Go - “This Too Shall Pass”
Directed by James Frost. Third single off the band’s recently released studio album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.

Why Americans don’t need the government telling them what to eat. This graph shows the US federal subsidies for food production over a decade ending in 2005. As we can see, there is a HUGE contrast between what the US federal government recommends and what they subsidise. According to the Federal Nutrition Recommendations, meat and dairy should comprise approximately 25% of our intake. So why do these industries receive a full 75% of subsidies? In stark contrast, we see that fruit and veg only get 0.37% of subsidies!
The lower the subsidies, the higher the pricing as it costs more for the industry to produce. So is it any wonder the US have an obesity problem? The solution is not to tax junk food, it is to ELIMINATE SUBSIDIES and accordingly eliminate price controls. Incentives do a lot more good than penalties.
