This is a PRI interview with the Reverend Al Green from the other day. I caught it in the car and couldn’t pause or rewind it then because it contained the best interview answer I’ve ever heard. Here’s Al Green, mood maker, lover, and happy guy talking about love and music.
Q: So do you think love still pretty much makes the world go ‘round?
A: Oh, love is what makes the world go ‘round. See I have that sunshine on a cloudy day. When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of May. I guess you say— well, make me feel s— ♫My girl, Temptations. That’s- That’s it.
♫ Sugar pie… Four tops. I mean– That’s, that’s what. ♫ Can’t help my self, I love you and nobody else♩.
That’s what it is, yeah.
I love the Internet. Interview gets good at around 2:10’ish.

Nanobama

“Microscopic faces of Barack Obama made using nanotechnology, and imaged using a scanning electron microscope. Each face consists of millions of vertically-aligned carbon nanotubes, grown by a high temperature chemical reaction.”
Tomorrow
Tomorrow, through all the hyperactive excitement and emotion, take a few quiet minutes for yourself. Just for you. Smell the air. Notice the taste in your mouth. Watch, and I mean really pay attention to your environment. Commit it to memory because after tomorrow everything will change.

1985 - Coca-Cola / Coke Ad - Waters of March
The first three seconds of this commercial captures the 80’s so completely that I just vomited a moonwalking Max Headroom. Thanks to @nictate for making me wonder why I even bothered living through that period.
Announcing the New York Times Campaign Finance API - Open - Code - New York Times Blog
Newspapers don’t spend R&D money. Instead they protect their 20% margins and sell paper based ads. Their online ad strategy is bound to page views and click-throughs. As far as their strategy for the web; Watch the NYTime and WAPo, see if they make money, then copy. Shorter: Web video.
To hear a newspaper talk about APIs is promising. Though late, this raises the game. My hope is that they keep the newspaper marketing department at bay. The worst thing they could do is require that users of 3rd party tools created with the NY Time’s APIs have to register at NYTimes.com. Although eata@bigcock.com/12345678 probably still works.
Really?

You think you know someone until you discover that they never heard of Man from Atlantis.
Pretty music I hear - so happy
And loud - blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud
