My Firefox homepage is Delicious’ Popular links page. Every day I get to look at things that people on the web think are important. One time, one the links was for someone that I knew [a flickr contact] before they made the popular list.

Most times, a link stays up for a day, sometimes two, as the critical mass of the web adds to its staying power. I don’t click on every link, but many do end up on my own del.icio.us page [which are added to my Feedburner RSS feed]

This video was on the popular list for three days. Take a look at it and you will know why. “Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor tells an amazing story of had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke….”

Spoiler alert: Taylor presents a compelling argument that religious ecstatic experience is simply a function of the brain’s anatomy. But if those experiences can bring about universal peace, I don’t care how it happens.

I found this on Vancouver Craigslist today:

The average household sends 500lbs of kitchen waste to the landfill or down the drain each year. Be part of the solution! Let me do the work.
For only $5.00 per week I supply the pail and pick it up each week.

Call DOWN-TO-EARTH KITCHEN COMPOST PICKUP today to sign up!….

I think this is great idea and I wrote an email to tell them so. I also invited them to explore possible solutions for both customers and them that Biosa and Bokashi could provide.

Even if I hear nothing back, I am happy to see that it is happening in the region where I live.

GreenerBusiness 16: Starting a Compost

One of my clients - Bentley Christie - is interviewed about composting by this online non-profit that “provides open graphic design and other services/projects.” Near the end, when Bentley talks about bokashi, they feature two of my photos. Here is one of them:
