eveglassI know, I know. I'm going overboard with the posts today. But these are just links, so it's all right. (Right?)
1. BP spills coffee (3-minute video) -- a satirical little video: a BP exec spills coffee on the boardroom table, and the executive team rushes into high gear to clean up the spill. Hilarity ensues.
2. Eating well on $1 a day -- this guy is utterly amazing. He made a deal with his sister that he could eat well on just $1 a day, using various couponing skills. So far, in the almost two months he's been doing the project, he's been eating extremely well, donated a TON of food to local food banks, and bought over $1,100 worth of food for about $40. I'm in awe.
3. The 10 most important things they didn't teach you in school -- though I don't usually link to Cracked articles, this one's pretty spot-on. (Even if the writing is a bit over the top compared to what I generally like.)
4. The life you can save -- I recommend watching the very powerful 3-minute video. Then do whatever conscience (and heart) tell you to do.
5. Vision simulator -- a very cool simulator that shows you what it's like to be red-green (or blue-yellow) color blind. Worth playing around with.
6. The fast lane - The slide (2-minute video) -- From the guys that brought us piano stairs and the world's deepest garbage can comes a new project designed to make life more fun (and, in the process, get us moving a bit). I wish these guys were in Montreal.
7. Extrapolating (xkcd comic) -- just a cute xkcd comic I've been meaning to post for a while. Sometimes I really love xkcd.
