Milk: buy it on Amazon

Some fantastic reviews of the gallon of milk available on Amazon.com - don’t drink said fluid as you read these, it might fly out of your nose

In other news, I like this song.

Revolution over at EvokeONE
Fascinating virtual art exhibition loosely based around the theme of revolution (there are many others including Fable, Calligraphy, Muse, etc) featuring digital design art, music and photography - really, really high quality stuff. Love the music too, unexpectedly! I'll be returning frequently to Evokeone.com if they can keep this up. del.icio.us Tags: design,art,photography,music...
Howard Rheingold at TED
Howard Rheingold's 2005 talk at TED (an event which I'm a massive fan of) has just been posted over at www.ted.com In it, he talks about collaboration, game theory, where current society has got it wrong and where it's headed, arguing that more symbiotic, collaborative, (bottom up?) organisations and forms of commerce and living are the way forward, are actually quite natural (despite what a superficial look at human behaviour in game theory experiments like the Prisoner's Dilemma. Open source, Benkler's theory of nonmarket production, peer to peer, crowd-sourcing, are all concepts that feature heavily in the 20min talk. A must-watch. Well done HR for doing the talk with humour and passion in just 20 minutes despite how large and deep a topic this is. Talking about where society's heading - not easy to put into a nutshell if you want to really do it justice! del.icio.us Tags: p2p,smart mobs,howard rheingold,opensource,collaboration,bottom-up...
That’s some good photo, dude
Check out the World Press Photo of the Year gallery - some amazing stuff in there - not just single shots  but portfolios, too - so like a music album, you get context and development of themes that you don't get with singles. Helps get the message across, adds interest and meaning. The winning photo: War, death and suffering seem to feature fairly prominently. Is it because it elicits stronger emotion from the viewer (or the judges of this contest) than photos of other stuff would? Is suffering and war particularly photogenic? Or is it just attracting the best photographers out there? del.icio.us Tags: art,photography,journalism,contests...
