Many of you have heard me foam at the mouth at Morgan Spurlock’s spurious documentary and many of you have laughed at me, called me names and generally derided me because your sheep-like bleating of Spurlock’s ideas on diet reinforced the hippie notion that McDonalds is evil. Merab Morgan agrees with me though and proved it — more than I was willing to do — by losing 33 pounds eating only at McDs.

This site features descriptions of photos the artist (or other contributors) were unable to take. Clarification:

In October 2004, I travelled to Ethiopia for a two-week solo sightseeing trip. I’d been advised against bringing my camera, but as an amateur street photographer, leaving it behind didn’t seem like an option. In predominantly Muslim communities, photography is shunned, particularly photographing women, which is completely understandable. Consequently, at many times during my trip, there was so much to see, and no way to capture it, except through words.

Why wait for renewable energy to come to you? Why endure the protests of your well-to-do neighbors who do not want a wind-farm in their back yard? Why not build your own (including wiring the generator!)

In my backyard, please. (IMBY)
