http://beholdthelotus.blogspot.com/2007_10_30_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Yeah, say it: Shorpy. It just rolls off the tongue like honey: Shorpy. So, what the hell is it? Calls itself "The 100-Year-Old Photo Blog", and that is about as apt a subtitle as you can get. It is a blog, and on it people post "vintage" photographs, usually between 100 and 70 years old. These are not the crappy, flea-market quality snapshots, however; the photos uploaded to Shorpy are intended as both entertainment and art. One of the rare few in color, is a beautiful landscap...

Sunday, April 27, 2008. Earth Day/Week, Post Script. I don't know how I forgot to mention this, but NPR has been doing an amazing series about climate change in conjunction with National Geographic, called Climate Connections. Most recently, they were in Egypt and did a whole series of stories about Egypt, how it will be affected by climate change, and what the people of Egypt are doing about it.

Wednesday, November 21, 2007. The SIlk Road Project. On a Friday while at Brown last winter, I heard about a performance happening that night at the little Avon Theater. The rumor going around said that Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble ( youtube.

Saturday, April 26, 2008. In celebration of Earth Day/Week, I've put together a whole big list of awesome things on the Internet that are environment related. First off, a blog that I go to every day for news about Global Warming, and probably the most influential climate change blog on the internet: Climate Progress. Next, Fifty Ways to Help the Planet.
