"Slackline yoga"? I haven't heard of this called exercise until now... I've just heard of it as "chain surfing," something young guys with too much time on their hands do to impress their friends.

Your questions about the ethical implications of a link are interesting. Your view appears to take the shape of "don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger." But in the Blogger's case, s/he is a messenger who can chose not only WHETHER to deliver the message, but also what form that delivery will take. As soon as you have a choice in a matter, there comes with that choice, an ethical facet to that choice.

As an avowed journalist, the reporting of the story is clearly required. The questionable ethics of a story come in the form of delivery of the story, including encouraging or pointing the way to a violation of ethics that society has deemed so heinous that it has made a law against it.

OMG - just watched the first 5 episodes of Garbage Island - incredible! Can't wait for the rest. My question is why did someone on a little known site do a documentary on something SO important, and not a major news network??? If not for you Will, I would have never known. EVERYONE needs to watch this!

Cloning prehistoric animals? Did we learn nothing from Jurassic Park?!?

The camera on the park bench is also a little reminiscent of this Wax Poetic/Nora Jones video, featuring the Holga plastic camera...

...the difference being of course that the park bench had no CGI sparkly thingies flying around it.

You Have to Burn the Rope was...eh. Okay. Check out the video at the end of the game Portal. (You can find it on youtube.com) You may actually have to play the game to completely get the humor. But it was by far the funniest ending to a video game I've ever seen (or heard).
