Internacia Televido
Kimberly posted in her LJ that the Esperanto television channel was finally launched. The Esperanto news site Gxangalo which I check every so often used to have ads up about trying to get this project off the ground. Strangely, I can find no link on the Gxangalo site leading to the Internacia Televido site. Anyway, I'm quite happy that they are going to be showing "Pasporto al la Tuta Mondo" which all of you should watch because it's fantastically absurd.
Update: I was watching a clip show called "Amuzaj Videoj" and there was a clip of a guy falling down the spiral staircase at the University of Richmond Commons.

Joseph Actually Did It
graftonjjh
I told Joseph a few weeks ago that he should start a blog of all the random stuff he finds or comes up with. As it happens, he did just that. Now if he would update it regularly...

Ukraina Auction
BBC
The Ukraina Hotel, which I stayed at earlier this month during my trip to Russia, has just been sold for $274 million.

Discounted Venezuelan Oil
BBC
Legislators in Massachusetts have made a deal with Venezuela to provide cheap oil for low-income homes. Interesting turn of events considering the current war of words between the US and Venezuela.

Man Survives HIV
BBC
I'm skeptical and think that he was just misdiagnosed, but if this is true, it's rather exciting.

John Wilmot Movie?
Apple
Back when I was taking British Literature, Dr. Miller gave an assignment to compare a monologue in "Hamlet" to a poem by John Wilmot. While the poem was tame, he told us that we shouldn't read any of his other stuff. I of course didn't follow these directions and what I found was, to say the least, very intriguing, such as a play called "Sodom, or the Quintessence of Debauchery". Anyway, searching through the movie trailers on Apple.com, I found "The Libertine", a movie based on the life of John Wilmot. Should be exciting.

Permanent Campaigning Hurts Your Feet
Time
Rather lengthy, but very captivating criticism of current presidential practices that boost short-term opinion but fail to produce effective results. The main idea is that the president is on a "permanent campaign" were poll numbers are more important than results. As in the case for Bush, we see him putting more work into gaining support for the war than actually fighting it.

Turning Wind into Energy
Open Source Energy Network
Fairly long article on the development of veritcal axis wind turbines for those that are interested. I thought it was interesting at least. It is proposed that it would be more effiecent and kill fewer birds than current wind turbines.

Facebook Alcohol Content
Technician
Several NC State students have been charged for various alcohol offenses based on photos in their Facebook profiles. For many of them, they are not even being shown consuming alcohol, there was just alcohol in the background of the photo. It now makes me wonder if I can get in trouble for my Facebook photo.
