Another good reason to go vegetarian: the bitchin’ kitchen accessories. Art director/visual artist Chris Rubino has designed a clever, cute plate especially for the herbivorous among us, featuring a menagerie of wildlife that are better to look at than to eat. Plop down a nice salad, or maybe some vegetarian moussaka, and you’ve got the makings of a good time.
The first plate of the ser…
Google’s Streetview was celebrated at launch, but caught some flack when they were captured the public in some embarrassing situations.
Google’s hoping to avoid similar issues when they complete their launch overseas. According to Google’s senior privacy council, Google will begin altering photos to make sure that faces and license plate numbers aren’t recognizable. The move’s [...]
Jakob Lodwick, the co-founder of IAC owned video site Vimeo, left the company today. The reason? Apparently Lodwick didn’t see eye to eye with the IAC brass on creative issues, and specifically had a run in with IAC chief Barry Diller three weeks ago.
That’s not surprising, given the picture Lodwick chose to include with [...]

Here’s a carbon offsetting regime that looks similar in structure to the 1930′s-era “Conservation Reserve” program, where US farmers were awarded financial incentives by the government to put erosive lands back in grass or forest cover. Two big differences with this new one: financial backing is by a European bank that hopes to profit long term (we assume) with broker fees; and, the field projects, plantings specifically, can go forward in advance of the carbon credits being sold at global auction. Act locally, profit globally. Nice idea.
