————-Friday Links——————
1. This looks promising. An iPhone game that actually uses multitouch…
2. Infoporn of the week…
Where did all the money go?
3. More from the annals of he who publicizes things best turns out to be thought of as the one who invents them… TED edition. (or fun with a projector, minicomputer, camera, and the internet)
4. —————-A Daily Show Interlude—————
Oh yeah, in case you were living under a rock, you should really watch all the Daily Show clips about CNBC this week, they are gold. Start here…
A little bit of fun between networks (Dora the Explorer pitches in)…
Okay, you get the point. There is a value to satire. I’ll leave the rest to you. For more on why 24 hour news channels are destroying our country by turning themselves into the news and anesthetizing us all by turning things like OJ and Anna Nicole into must see TV. Read this delightful little book, The Assault on Reason.

4. In which a person who really doesn’t feel comfortable in a monkey suit (though with a very nice power tie I’d like to point out) tries to convince the world that maybe one way out of this economic downturn is basically that you have to innovate to survive. The tie, by the way, can also be used to clean floors, mop sweaty foreheads, clean sinks, brush teeth, illuminate the darkest night, and power a small town in the midwest for two weeks on the power of love (or not). All that aside, I really wish the powers that be would remember that making things (rather than moving money around or just going out and shopping) to save the economy is not really such a bad idea. Especially if those things help us make the world a little better.
————————-The Rest—————————-

Wind power supplies 40% of Spain’s energy needs, occasionally.

dal cucchiaio alla città . Though I also like Bucky’s perspective…
