Copenhagen Climate Caper
I was part of the group of climate realists from CFACT who pulled off an international climate caper against Greenpeace yesterday.

Crossing the generational digital divide In my opinion, social media have two primary benefits for journalists. 1. It levels the playing field so people who usually don’t have access can reach the reporter. 2. It provides a transparency to the social network of the reporter. Transparency and access are essential to representative community reporting. I hope Kokkvold will experience this first-hand as he continues his Twitter experiment.
How about natural selection of copy editors? That shorter, plumper women have more kids is news, but that natural selection selects for fertility should hardly end up in the headline. Reproductive success IS natural selection for crying out loud.
Paleoalchology OK, so I made that word up, but it sounds like a great word to describe the concise Scientific American story summarizing archeological finds of alcohol. So for all of you cocktailistas out there, check out Brendan Borrell’s great story to learn more about the origin of wine.

Quick kosher lunch treat We are staying at my mother-in-law’s while our landlord is rebuilding the kitchen, which means I have to cook kosher and use kosher products. Most of the lunch meats and such that I would like to eat are not kosher, so I am either stuck with sweet quick lunches like cereals, or my new invention.
Pirogies are a stuffed pasta filled with a potato filling. My favorite is the onion and potato pierogi. My beloved prefers to fry his pierogi in lots of butter, but I prefer mine steamed in a broth. This quick and easy lunch is half a can of kosher chicken broth with four pierogies and a drizzle of fresh parsley on top.
