What I'll be doing tonight while I listen to the debate on TV: the eyeball game. My first try was a 4.08 but I had a couple of 11s that were just dumb mistakes so I know I can beat it.

Literal A-ha is actually better than original I think.
Dark Knight trailer by way of Toy Story.
Apparently Iceland is having a hard time with this credit market freeze. I thought Iceland had reached utopian status because they power the country with water and geothermal so they aren't saddled with heavy energy costs (or dirty energy)? Not to take pleasure in others' misfortune but that currency problem they're having may make it an actual affordable vacation for Americans who are priced out of Europe.
The Breathing Earth counts births, deaths and CO2 emissions while you watch. I was expecting the births and deaths to pop a little faster.

Earth from above - Another winning series of photos from The Big Picture.
