War Criminals →
Andrew Sullivan makes a well-researched and articulated argument regarding the Bush Administration’s “Verschärfte Vernehmung”:
Critics will no doubt say I am accusing the Bush administration of being Hitler. I’m not. There is no comparison between the political system in Germany in 1937 and the U.S. in 2007. What I am reporting is a simple empirical fact: the interrogation methods approved...

There is no comparison between the political system in Germany in 1937 and the U.S. in 2007. What I am reporting is a simple empirical fact: the interrogation methods approved and defended by this president are not new. Many have been used in the past. The very phrase used by the...

Adam: 85 degrees in the classroom, but we have to sweat it out in here because the principal says so. All good learning happens in desks. (via Twitter / Adam)
Adam: I’m a baaaaad sub. I let more kids go outside. They’ll probably sue in 20 years when they get skin cancer. (via Twitter / Adam)

Updated the boring version of this pic with a little bit of retouching. Reality be damned.

Adam: Subbed for one of my favorite teachers ever today. Subbing for another one tomorrow. If it wasn’t for PE on Friday, this week would be loo (via Twitter / Adam)

Photo toning for beginners →
A (very) amateur photographer needs help with toning photos in Photoshop.
I’m a very amateur photographer. I have a Canon 10D SLR, and I understand how to shoot photos. I understand the ideas behind shutter speed, aperture, white balancing, ISO speeds, etc.
I also have a beginner’s understanding of photo toning. I’ve worked at a few different newspapers and during that time...

A “story map” distributed to guests of a wedding that shows the possible occupational, relational, and recreational relationships between guests to be used as a conversational cheat-sheet. Reminiscent of Mark Lombardi’s network maps. Better larger. (via gulfstream) (link)

Human Nature →
Like the night, and the storm(?) in the heart of the sun; he is ancient and lives forever. He burns at the center of time and can see the turn of the universe.
Whew. Tonight’s episode (3×08, “Human Nature”) of Doctor Who was intense.
In most episodes, there is no real peril to the Doctor, because, well, he’s just that bad-ass. He can regenerate, or turn the tables with his cunning, or a...
