Celebrating pornographers who go the extra mile when set dressing classroom porn and actually write something on the blackboard.
What do they write, and is it correct? (NSFW? No screenshots contain nudity, but Justice Stewart would know it if he saw it)

The Bravest Woman in Seattle "The reason for her sitting on the witness stand of a packed and sweltering eighth-floor courtroom at the King County Courthouse on June 8, in jeans and a short-sleeved black blouse, hands clasped over knees, a jury of strangers taking notes, a crowd of family and friends and strangers observing, a bunch of media recording, was to say: This happened to me. You must listen. This happened to us. You must hear who was lost. You must hear what he did. You must hear how Teresa fought him. You must hear what I loved about her. You must know what he took from us. This happened." (Trigger warning for rape and violence.)

It's rare to find a blog where you want to grab every picture, and click every link, but that's how it is at wonderful little
mwebi, and just a few clicks there leads to these other just as tantalizing micro blogs, such as
The Year in Pictures,
Kitschy Living,
Poculum,
Cool Pictures,
Colorfullthings,
Design Squish and
Fade Away (which has a bit of a squishy design). It leaves one wondering out loud, when did blogging get cool again?

Alone In The Wilderness "Documentary tells the story of Dick Proenneke who, in the late 1960s, built his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the Aleutian Peninsula, in what is now Lake Clark National Park. Using color footage he shot himself, Proenneke traces how he came to this remote area, selected a homestead site and built his log cabin completely by himself. The documentary covers his first year in-country, showing his day-to-day activities and the passing of the seasons as he sought to scratch out a living alone in the wilderness." (Color, 57mins)

Something awful in a new CBC anthem. The CBC's Hockey Night in Canada is one of the highest-rated programs on Canadian television. It's something of a national shrine to our beloved sport. For the past 40-odd years, it's had a distinctive theme which most Canadians could hum. After
something of a fiasco, the CBC lost the rights to the theme. They're running a contest to replace the venerated theme.
A Something Awful forum user composed
a truly dreadful entry ("mostly comprised of cat and sheep sounds, baby cries, and gunshots/explosions"), and got the community to 'vote it up' on the Anthem contest site. You really need to hear the awfulness to truly appreciate it.

Have Food Will Travel: Pearl River Delta is a travelogue teaser video from
Leonard Shek, a second generation Chinese American from San Francisco. Shek traveled to the Guangdong Province as part of the SF Chinese Culture Center's
In Search of Roots program. While the main purpose of the trips is for Chinese Americans to explore where their parents or grandparents came from, Shek wanted to explore the origins of the food he grew up with.

In Our Time Faced with a wet weekend indoors, I realised it's time to dig into
the archive of
In Our Time, the most unashamedly intellectual radio discussion series every produced. Broadcast on
BBC Radio 4, and hosted by
Melvyn Bragg (sorry, make that
Lord Bragg), the show's format is simple: Take a topic that's shaped our world, invite a handful of academics who specialize in that field, and chat. But remember: Commercially suicidal program(me)s like this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for
the unique way the BBC is funded.
