Survey shows many are still clueless on how to save energy:

Many Americans believe they can save energy with small behavior changes that actually achieve very little, and severely underestimate the major effects of switching to efficient, currently available technologies, says a new survey of Americans in 34 states.

Stephen Malkmus & The Million Dollar Bashers | Maggie’s Farm (Bob Dylan cover)

It’s taken a while but I’m starting to really like cover Friday. And this is solely because of the great covers my Tumblr friends pick every week.

Somewhat related to this song: this morning I watched Fred’s speech about 10 ways to be your own boss which inspired me to pick this cover.

Today, this was my favorite.

It’s incredible that this story, showcasing the sincere love of America an outsider can have, something that could easily be shown to 5th graders to teach them how special America is, comes from Al Jazeera. Do we all need a reality check?

Joseph (around 15:15): “Big, big buildings, tall, going to the sky. Very beautiful indeed. Every street in New York is very jam-packed. It’s jam-packed to capacity. It is exciting. If immigrants can come together and build that wonderful city, then I want to be a good immigrant. So people will say, ‘Yeah this guy made an impact on other people’s lives.’”

The last level and full ending to Braid.

It’s here that all of the hype over this video game paid off for me. The first time through the stage you and the princess are racing through the level away from The final boss. She undos dead ends and booby traps for you as you both run to safety.

The second time through is in reverse. Now the princess is racing from you, setting booby traps and creating dead ends as you chase after her. Finally when you both get to the boss he rescues her from you, not the other way around.

It was such a shock when I first saw it. After a whole game of “rescuing the princess” to find out you were the bad guy. Not all princesses need rescuing. Self-delusion is such a powerful thing.

“

When people ask what’s the matter with my generation, part of me wants to say: Have you seen the economy you created? What’s the matter with yours?

But that’s churlish. So instead, let’s make a deal. Boomers, fix what you did to the country. And I promise you, the kids will be alright.

American Drink: Ice Part 2: How to make the best fucking ice ever:

Other than looking good, fancy cubes, ice spheres and even crushed ice keep the drink cold. Smaller cubes have more surface area and therefore add to the dilution of the drink. We don’t want that. We may be having a great conversation with old friends or trying to finish cooking dinner and set…
