4 Things:

Last time I visited the Fafblog was a while ago, but it has always rocked the house and The Medium Lobster is in need:

As part of our ongoing mission to bring the best possible product to you the consumer, we here at Fafblog have spent the last several months poor, sick, and uninsured. Why?

Names and Faces. On my way home from work, I walked by a mobile installation called
"Soldiers' Faces and Iraqi Names". An LCD projector set on top of a minivan in a parking lot lights up the side of a building. Rotating photos of Soldiers from California and faceless illustrations denoting civilians who have died in the war in Iraq. The presentation is chronological, the dates progress from March, 2003 to February 2006. The good folks from Luna Media [I think that's their name. Bad blog reporter! Always carry a PEN!] will be showing this around San Francisco in remembrance of the beginning of the war.
