In no particular order:
I’m really enjoying the New Yorker’s coverage of the global warming problem by Elizabeth Kolbert. It’s nice to see a major magazine dedicate space to such an issue. I can only hope for a continued rise in gasoline prices to help bring further attention to the energy/environmental crisis we’re facing.
I’m getting involved in a big way with a local anti-litter group that is targeting the neighborhood next to ours. Spurred to action by an editorial by this man, I signed up for an area. I go out several times a week trying to make up for the shortcomings of mankind. It’s a big job, but I think we’re making a difference.
The new job has been incredibly satisfying in every way, and I can’t really see myself anywhere else for a very long time, if ever.
The Internet has delivered many great things to many people. Today it brought to me the gem of a song “Cosmonaut Love” by Tricky the Cosmonaut. A throwback to the KUMM days, I had all but given up on ever hearing it again, but thanks to some streaming audio, a dedicated DJ, and some audio capturing magic via my new best friend, the Mac, I have my very own copy. Things are definitely looking up.
