Now I'm convinced.

[per popular request: what I'm convinced of is that Edwards is my candidate of choice! I think he will fight for change. ]

How it all ends. A 10 minute video

about how we can think about "global warming"

How It All Ends

Greg writes: "This ten-minute home video is called "How It All Ends," and is the result of hundreds of hours of research and production, stemming from an earlier video I produced, titled "The Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See." ::

"The Most Terrifying Video", posted on the web six months ago, made a novel argument for taking action on global climate change, and has garnered over 4 million views on various websites. Reading the 6000+ comments on that video—most of them critical—allowed me to hone my argument, so that now it is—as far as I've been able to tell—undeniable. Repackaged in "How It All Ends," the argument is backed up by over 6 hours of "expansion pack" videos, anticipating and answering every single objection that I've been able to elicit from skeptics. Sounds impossible, yes. But then, I've been maniacally thorough."

yes it's TEN minutes.  Hey... it could be two hours.  Can't we spend ten minutes addressing thought on this issue?  And it's also a moderately humorous vid.

good words from Zen Habits....

A little over a week ago, I wrote Faith in Humanity: How to Bring People Closer, and Restore Kindness … and the response was overwhelming. As of this writing there are 168 comments on that post, making it one of my most commented posts ever.

And in that post, I promised to do a “Bloggers of Kindness” post, linking up to my fellow bloggers who talk about kindness and the concept of paying it forward. The response from the blogging world was very nice … a few dozen bloggers responded.

Thank you all, for spreading kindness this holiday season, for paying it forward, for helping make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time.

You are all awesome people.

Get fit using a treadmill laptop holder

http://www.google.com/search?q=treadmill+laptop+holder&num=20&hl=en&safe=off&start=0&sa=N

I'm constantly figuring ways to work in some more treadmill time. Being
able to use the computer while walking would be a big help in terms of
burning more calories, and getting things done too.

I have drawn up plans for a laptop holder for the treadmill, but some
of the finds via Google cost less than $30, so that may be the way to go.
