Something to Ponder… »
Interesting highlight from the GreenNet conference yesterday. “This year, for the first time in history, our landfills were filled with more adult diapers than baby diapers” — referring to the significant shift of age demographics in this country.

Conjunction Junction: What’s your function? »
Back in early Dec 2008, you would have seen the bright planets Venus and Jupiter near the place the sun went down, with a “waxing moon” low in the sky. With the exception of the sun and moon, Venus is the brightest light in the heavens, and Jupiter is second-brightest. What makes this special [...]
Scotland Yard is on the Case! »
Scotland Yard is often times referenced in literature and film as this amazing police force that can solve almost any crime. Many times Sherlock Holmes has been referenced as a character that in some ways represents the vision of Scotland Yard to the world – even though, to my knowledge, he was never actually in [...]

Climate Change – Multiple Sides of the Story, Pt. 1 »
Current debate around Climate Change is, literally, history in the making. For this is the first point in recorded time a theory has been developed holding humankind implicit in affecting the planet’s wellbeing.

You, the obviously avid reader of Blinkinblogs, may have noticed several debates on Blinkinblogs regarding the Swine Flu (N1H1) vaccine and the potential for all sorts of conspiracy theories etc. I am going to put one thing to rest right now on BB for all future discussions on this topic: At no point has anyone [...]
TEDTalks: Michael Specter: The Danger of Science Denial »

Michael Specter – Instead of framing the video, I’ve summarized the high points below:
“You cannot base your beliefs on your own facts… it doesn’t work that way.”
“… be skeptical, demand proof… [...]
The Soloist »
Last night I watched the film The Soloist. There was quite a bit of attention given to this movie, rightly so I might add, for a few reasons: The actors (Robert Downing Junior and Jamie Foxx for example) as well as the music and storyline (true story). I enjoy watching films that are true stories, [...]
“Pass on what you have learned, Luke.” »
Had to share this. The following quote was uttered in a meeting I just attended by a very senior member of a global PR firm.
“I won’t allow my learning to be disrupted by my education.”
The declaration was simply beautiful in scope, delivery, and effectiveness. It was genuinely precise just as much [...]

An interesting documentary/movie that was quite popular in Europe but hasn’t received that much attention in the U.S. For those of you with cable TV, I believe this is premiering this Saturday on the Planet Green Channel.
