Chinese Artists Protest Demolition of Beijing Studios
I had to pull this off Reuters: India because the American site doesn’t offer an embed function (see link below). Whatever… big thanks to India!
This video is from the New Tang Dynasty TV folks, who I’m pretty sure are financially and politically affiliated with the Falun Gong cult movement, but they none the less put together some fairly balanced journalism. In this piece, they apparently got footage from Reuters and then repackaged it with slightly more historical context (Tian’anmen reference), as well as adding stills from Ai Weiwei’s twitpic stream:

MoveOn, Heather Graham, & the Public Option
I’m dubious. I would think a bloody torso surrounded by severed appendages is a far more appropriate metaphor than the buxom Heather Graham. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

Sony’s Compact DSLR Camera (Interchangeable Lenses)
Okay, okay… I know it’s bad form to geek-out on the fresh, new thing from corporate America, but this camera looks really cool. It’s a “Cyber-shot” with interchangeable DSLR lenses! Apparently, this is among the front-runners for an impending commercial wave of so-called Micro Four Thirds technology. Don’t know what the price point will be when it officially hits the stores, but this might just be the perfect tool for travelers/bloggers, like me, who want both portability and shallow depth of field. I understand it also does HD video?! We’ll see.
