I’ve been slowly working through a gorgeous Nova episode about the first flowers, a fascinating documentary about this area in China from which most of our popular flowers originated. Its pretty much scene-after-scene of flower porn, all rendered in brilliant 1080i. Then, today I saw this awesome recreation of a prehistoric tree. Something about it reminds me of the Mars I pictured in C.S. Lewis’ Out of the Silent Planet, those towering trunks with alien fronds jutting out in the crown.

This self-described Pulitzer-caliber site begins to catalog the promise and the reality of food advertising. With all the Photoshopping that goes on these days, is it any surprise that your fast food orders don’t come out looking quite like their head shots? This, of course, from the guy that actively believes in the reality of the dessert tray. Oh, those dashed dreams and waxy bites!

Finally, thanks to MountainCabin for this great find of a site devoted to Broadway videos. Though I’m not the biggest fan of Broadway, I know many of my friends for which this will provide countless hours of tubey goodness. And they said “the internet is [only good] for porn!”
