I will be starting a new column called Flickr Feed of the Week, which will feature one of the most interesting photostreams that I have dug up. Have fun with the photos.

This week’s FFOTW is brought to you with my inspiration from street art around the world. I am sort of a fan of guerilla graffiti, a la Banksy, and Stencil Nation is a great book about community and creativity as expressed through one of the most easily accessible outlets.

P.S. Check out the book at Amazon. Or if you are in to Banksy, I highly suggest Wall and Piece, a collection of his works. Amaze your friends with an anarchistic coffee table book.

Slate published an article today about how busy bodies on the political and scene can hustle up some presidential gusto.

The campaigns will tell you every bit helps, and they’re right. But some tactics help more than others. A lot of it depends where you live and how much money you make. Say you make $10 an hour—should you donate $100 or volunteer for 10 hours? (Quick answer: If you live in Dayton, volunteer; if you live in Berkeley, donate.) For that reason, we’ve divided activism strategies into two categories: If You Have Time and If You Have Money. We then look at the best—and worst—ways to spend it before November.

I don’t know how many of you are hooked on Spore right now, but it just so happens to be a great game. I was having trouble designing my own characters, and I found this site really helpful. It is like Hot or Not, but with people’s uploaded evolutionary concepts. Yay for Sporn (And if you don’t know what that means, Google it).

Today I was browsing through the archives of the cool new CBS News site, and switched over to the old editions of 60 minutes, one of my favorite shows. It is really awesome to have a well designed interface to access such interesting things as old Andy Rooney complaints, but even more so because I can now watch reruns of shows from before my viewership began. In light of the new research regarding the Big Bang that is going on at CERN, I watched a clip of Stephen Hawking talking with his computer voice. Very intriguing. Check it out here.

I have wanted to know how the Universe operates and why. They are from where the universe came from, and is going to — the beginning and end of time.
