- Despite Nickels being America’s Greeningest Mayor, Mike McGinn won the Sierra Club’s endorsement. Being their former president probably didn’t hurt his chances. [strangebedfellows]
- Worried that you might run across a person in need of CPR and forget your skills? Plan ahead and load the free helper app from the University of Washigton onto your iPhone just in case. Even with 3GS speeds, waiting for an App Store download in an emergency could sacrifice valuable heart pumping time. Note, although that Apple wizards have mastered a digital compass, the built-in defibrillator hasn’t yet arrived. [learncpr]
- Check out a new track from Grand Archives! “Silver Amongst the Gold” provides a glimpse at this end of summer album, Keep In Mind Frankenstein. [mbvmusic]
- speaking of music, in my haste to recommend Noise for the Needy this morning I completely forgot to mention that Telepathe at Chop Suey and Bat for Lashes at the Crocodile are good causes in their own rights.
- Looks like PETA might have convinced the American Veterinary Medical Association that tossing around dead fish for the sake of teambuilding at their conference was tacky. And that’s saying a lot for an organization who chose “you otter be here” as the slogan for their Seattle meeting. [seattlest]
