Four Blogs of the (anti) Apocalypse

With global warming, the world economic recession, carbonated yogurt**

Given this state of affairs, it is essential for us to avoid URLs that spell D.O.O.M. in any sort of subtle way (CNN, Alternet, FoxNews, etc.) and instead focus on those things that very well might provide us with some small measure of boost - spiritual, intellectual, visual, or otherwise. Here are four blogs along those lines and of late by dear friends:

Dread Naught - Tokyo observations on kids, media, skateboarding, anthropology and the Global Imagination

What is it like t be a Chicago media activist living and working in a women's dormitory for two months? Read Camb(l)o(g)dia and find out the remarkable truth to the matter.

Stencils and spaces, ink and wall faces - the a blog which documents a course - Silk Screen and Social Spaces - running at two universities simultaneously. Yes, spray paint is illegal in Chicago, but silkscreen ink isn't!

Physics, Fugazi, new life in SF - Instrument is a random sample.

**Carbonated yogurt? Yes, well there are three ways to think about it. Firstly, as a matter of scientific and consumer studies, as we see in this peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Diary Science or his one in the Journal of Food Science aka: how much fizz can yous take, fool?

How might you appeal to me as a yogurt consumer, with such a product? The internet is a good start, sure, but I DARE you go to the "Tongue Test Facility" at this frightening Yoplait site. Viewing may cause sterility or other side effects.

Whose brain child is this? Dr. Ogden. How Mormonism or the landscape of Utah might relate to this invention, I wouldn't even contrive to speculate about. One doesn't question a food product 24 years in the making.
