Earthlings: A Devastating Documentary on Humanity's Lack of Respect for Other Living Creatures
I ran across this article by Dr. Ben Kim about a documentary called Earthlings. Joaquin Phoenix (yes the actor, who is also an animals rights activist) narrates this thought-provoking documentary, exposing humankind's unnecessary and cruel dependence on animals for food, clothing, experimentation, and entertainment. Earthlings is supposedly the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the connection between human economic interests and the welfare of animals. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, Earthlings chronicles the day-to-day practices of some of the largest animal-dependent industries in the world.

Whitney Music Box
Joe sent me this link today. This spinning combination of circles of different sizes, color and placement, all cross the line in certain patterns of chromatic scales. For example, on the first one on the page, in three minutes, the largest dot will travel around the circle once, the next largest dot will travel around the circle twice, the next largest dot three times, and so on. Seems boring? Not at all. Check it out to hear what kind of music it creates. Check out, var. 6 microtones, var. 8 chromatic 88 organ pipes, var. 15 stereo 120 and var. 17 hand cranked which lets you crank up the spin and make your own.
