The American Heritage Dictionary gives us You Are Your Words, a nifty application that enables you to upload a picture, input text (400 character minimum) and see your likeness recreated with your very own words. It’s a deliciously pop and shareable way to portray a notion so intimate: that we are, in effect, the words we hold dear.

Very cool work.

If a Democratic governor, or a black governor, had gotten in George W. Bush’s face like this the way Arizona governor Jan Brewer did today with Barack Obama, the media would have a field day. I also have to seriously wonder if she would have pulled this crap if the President were white.

Jan Brewer owes the President an apology.

Brewer is a waste of Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, etc etc.

Rivers form tree-like shapes in the desert in Baja California, Mexico.

This is mind-blowingly awesome.

In case you thought patterns of nature weren’t persistent… From this scale to your synapses, the similarities are such a thing of wonder.

"There can be little question that the middle class, or what’s left of it, is less and less able to cope. Adjusted for inflation, average hourly wages declined by 1 percent from 1970 to 2009. Meanwhile, home prices increased 97 percent, gas prices went up 18 percent, health costs rose 50 percent, and the price tag for public college spiked a whopping 80 percent after adjusting both wages and costs for inflation, according to figures compiled by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. The average family of four needs an annual income of $68,000 just to cover basic costs, but in 2010, half of all jobs paid less than $33,840. The number of Americans living below the poverty line—46.2 million—is the highest in the 52 years that the Census Bureau has been tallying figures."
