President Clinton Goes (Mostly) Vegetarian

President Clinton has yielded to the evidence of science that a plant-based diet can heal coronary heart disease. He has switched to a (mostly) plant-based diet in hopes of extending his life. Short video interview here, and more information here. In this CNN interview, Wolf Blitzer looks like Clinton is speaking a foreign language: no meat? no dairy?

If You Use a Digital Camera . . .

Found a good guy, Bert Sirkin, who runs photobert.com, a resource site for digital photographers. I learned about him through one of his most popular products: a series of digital camera/photography "cheat sheets." Your 100-plus-page camera/flash user's manual (with emphasis on Nikon and Canon) is reduced to a laminated one-sheet written in plain English with only the most pertinent info. There is a separate web site for the "PhotoBert Cheat Sheets" -- check out both sites for the sheets and loads of info and accessories (only stuff Bert has used and found helpful) for digital cameras. If you email for info, you'll get a reply from Bert himself. Good guy and good products. (And from Bert's Twitter feed today: Now thru 10/20/2010 25% discount on PhotoBert CheatSheets; 15% on accessories & software!)

Think on These Things

From Ben Stein's Facebook page:

"Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don't have to prove they are citizens."

From Newt Gingrich (no attribution available):

"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials."
