Here’s a few things I read this week that I thought interesting enough to pass along:
-
1) An LA Times writer talks about her “so-called glamorous life as a foreign correspondent.”
2) In the same spirit, I regularly check in with the NY Times Baghdad Bureau’s blog. A really interesting look inside the coverage of the war.
3) A Washington Post article on a new restaurant in the process of opening. The interesting part is that it is being opened as an open-source project. Basically that means that the people bank-rolling the project are leaving all the decisions up to a group of people who have expressed interest in contributing ideas. The idea is called “crowdsourcing.”
4) Newsweek article on shifting Taliban strategy in Afghanistan.
5) Fun entry at the great web-site How Stuff Works on why eating polar bear liver can kill you.
