More On How Games Can Change The World
I have been fascinated with the power of games to change the world since I was in college, and more and more I am happy to see that some very smart people are starting to take these ideas seriously.
More here here and here and another mind blowing video here.

Perversion Of The Filibuster
What we have basically backed ourselves into in this country is a parliamentary style, “you need to have the super majority” to get anything done requirement, without the “everyone votes the same way” parliamentary system of voting. The end result is the republicans force everything to have more than 60 votes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats do the same if they lose the majority. Nothing at all gets done, and everything is fucked.
I can only hope that on issues like health care, global warming, and green jobs they can overcome this idiocy and get something accomplished before the climate is too screwed for us to survive.
Feeding The World
How to feed the world ? from Denis van Waerebeke on Vimeo.
Pretty fun video that quickly explains a little about some very complicated issues. I agree that the best possible way the average person can make a difference is to move to a vegetable based diet.
