Redressing with Pigeons

I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with this blog. It started as a school project, and now, oh shit, I care about it. Or at least I care about what's in it. Which is why i put a video of pigeons on my blog, to convince you of my sincerity. There is so much I need to know from our food systems to farming to carbon capture. I want this to be a space where I can learn, and share with others. I invite people to add comments and start a discourse. And also let me know how this thing sucks, and ways you might want to improve it.

A Plant's Life

This was sent to me by dear friend Katie. It's from the Telegraph about a plant in a cafe that is hooked up to detectors and what the plants feelings gets "translated" into text.
Pretty cool.

I heart PBS.

Last night, there was a really good Frontline concerning Global Warming. It talks a lot about where we are still getting our electricity(pretty much coal) and the measures taken, or not to start using renewable sources. Frontline did a really good job I think in explaining some of the more difficult aspects fom Clean Coal(we've all heard Obama and McCain use that phrase)to just how we are still the most polluting industrial nation when it comes to automobiles. It's pretty great, AND! you can watch it from the website.

Re: High-Fructose Corn Syrup Ad 2

This is a response ad to the high fructose corn syrup ones I just posted about.
I think this one is a little more accurate, and it's funnier.

NY Times Magazine: Food Issue

Tomorrow the NY TIMES will devote it's magazine to the new food culture happening in America. There is also a pretty sweet picture of an exploding corn on the cover. It's reminded my of all those awesome commercials promoting High Fructose Corn Syrup.
