Carbon emissions in the Arab Middle East (infographic)Quite nicely done. Good to see this initiative. Amplify’d from www.greenprophet.com
Big SkyThere's nothing like the desert. Amplify’d from picasaweb.google.com
Best animated gif ever?This gif appeared on a post on the always interesting Dangerous Minds blog, without attribution (so far - a couple of us asked in the comments section). The post is about a fake eHarmony video by someone pretending to really, really, really love cats. It's amusing enough, I guess, as fake videos go. But the gif is just perfect.

This might help a bit. Contemporary illiteraciesI will develop this further, I think. See also the discussion on @LisaMLane's blog about citations here: http://lisahistory.net/wordpress/?p=926 |
