Credit Crunch and Climate Crunch

A large US corporation is trying to make meaningful change from within and make itself more attuned to the concerns of global warming. All the meanwhile, the credit world is imploding. Chief marketing office Laurent Pacalin talks about how Fair Isaac is making itself a more responsible corporate institution and how corporate social responsibility is not just window dressing. See more from Fair Isaac on YouTube.

Update: Found an interesting piece, Credit crunch might not be climate crunch, when reading blog Renewable Energy Information.

How Markets Work, cira 2007

John Bird and John Fortune on British ITV’s Southbank show in 2007 gave an astute and hilarious appraisal of the ruin that is being visited upon us today.

From Wikipedia:

Another feature [of Bremmer, Bird and Fortune] are interviews between Bird and Fortune, one of them normally as George Parr, a man in a government position or a businessman, who normally ends up exposing the idiocies of their area of expertise. This feature has striking similarities to the longer-lived John Clarke and Brian Dawe interviews on Australia’s ABC Television, even down to the interviewee’s smug expression.

Still Alive

Vlogging Molly does a great job with Jonathan Coulton‘s song, Still Alive, which is from some video game. Vlogging Molly is a great Internet talent. Let there be viral videos like her’s everywhere! (Tip o’ de hat to Darren Barefoot for the pointer.)

Why Change the Map?

Great bit from West Wing. Why do we use the mercator projection map? After watching this, I’m thinking it’s not such a great idea.
