NPR Today is especially good

Here's a story about a doctored photograph that is especially good.  A Susan Sontag rewrite, anyone?

Here's a black-out technique that I would love to try -- taking messages of hate and transforming them into messages of love.  Check out the website the story sends you to, Godlovespoetry.com

Finally, a little piece on the iPad as the textbook of tomorrow.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're heading to college tomorrow, so here is a little glimpse into your future.

Do you kids listen to Science Friday?   It's a radio show on Friday evenings...at the website today, there's several links of interest, but I think you'll like the Crow Cam (New Caledonia crows using tools), and the Attention Span test.

  1. All of these are pretty good.

    Not to mention NPR offers free, complete, very high-quality concert podcasts of bands such as Radiohead, the Arctic Monkeys, and Passion Pit. Look up All Songs Considered: Live Concerts on iTunes if you're interested.

  2. I did not see that gorilla... at all...

    That selective attention stuff is pretty interesting.

  3. Also, I have heard of this Westboro Baptist Church story, or something related to it in the news. Totally disgusted me. These Godlovespoetry.com dudes are totally trying something new and fresh: they do not fight negativity, they simply mark it out.
