What's Cool in the World Today



• Watch the "Baloney Detection Kit" on Skeptic. This is one of my favorite sites. It's about education, science, and sound reasoning. I first saw Dr. Shermer on an episode of Bullshit with Penn and Teller. I've been a fan ever since.

• Check out graphite drawings at DeviantArt. **Warning** some of these "pencil" drawings look like photos.

• The self-deprecating James Altucher offers his musings on his site. I'm a big fan of his efforts and philosophy. This guy is a truly alternative thinker that believes failure is an integral part of success.

• Alessandro Acquisti has an interesting view of privacy on TED. I love TED. It is one of the best alternatives to regular television programming or other mindless garbage.

• Learn a great pulled-pork recipe on the grill at Cook's Country. This is part of America's Test Kitchen. These are productions online and on public television. Again...a big fan!
