hope on climate change in 2013

It’s going to take a lot more than tweets to get new policy on climate change. but there is hope. You probably read the guardian’s recent post that 97% of scientific papers on climate change agree that it is man-made. You’ve also probably read that we’ve passed 400ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.

Here’s hoping that the next 30 years brings serious and sustained action on climate. Time to vote the deniers out of office… Glenn Gruenhagen of Glencoe – I’m looking at you for starters. “United Nations fraud and lie”? Conspiracy theory much?

random access memories

the new daft punk is my official summer record. there is a wonderful groove permeating this record. I’ve only streamed via iTunes. Contemplating a vinyl purchase. But it’s $33.49 on Amazon. That is a serious premium over the digital version.

graduation speeches

graduation is nearly upon us this year, and I just found this speech by David Foster Wallace. Worth a listen.
