An Earth Day Story



I spent the weekend working on a grant application, so I hardly noticed Earth Day come and go. But this morning I watched this story on Rocketboom and want to share it with you.

What a perfect way to tell a story. So well done.

Update: The links connected to the current day's story rather than the Earth Day piece. Sorry, I'll try to sort it out later today. Tues, 4/24/07

Okay, lets try this link -- http://www.rocketboom.com/stories/rb_07_apr_20

The Dilbert Blog: Weasel Nominees for 2006

Scott Adams of Dilbert fame, and my favorite blogger, wants your opinions -- help him out. Send him your nominees. I'm considering mine.

The Dilbert Blog: Weasel Nominees for 2006:
"By way of definition, a weasel is someone who is trying to get away with something and actually succeeding. We don’t include anyone who is in jail because that person isn’t getting away with it.

We also don’t include anyone who is evil or annoying or incompetent but in an honest way. A weasel is someone who craps on toast and tells you it is caviar. Weasels say things like this:

“I have never taken steroids. I look like the Incredible Hulk because I eat right.”

“I didn’t realize I was stealing a billion dollars from my company. I just signed whatever they put in front of me.”

“I deserve my $100 million salary because without me the company’s stock price would have plunged even further.”"

If you care about getting accurate political information...

NY Center's Blog Spot: If you care about getting accurate information...

I coordinate the NY Center's Blog Spot. Earlier today I posted about Fact Check. There's very little coming out of either political party that I trust, so I count on Fact Check to tell me what's accurate.

They're up for the top ten websites impacting the way the web is changing politics. Take a look, and vote for them.
