Viridian Notes 301-350

00401: British Blowback. [Attention Conservation Notice: a fully annotated version of a rather silly British newspaper story about Pentagon climate-change speculations.]
00402: Metropolis Editorial. [Attention Conservation Notice: It's a magazine editorial that you should have been reading in the actual magazine.]
00403: Przwalski Chernobyl. [Attention Conservation Notice: It's about rare ancestral horses now thriving around Chernobyl.]
00404: Car Ergonomics. [Attention Conservation Notice: I found this article to be witty, insightful and delightful, but then again, I just bought a hybrid electric Honda Civic with a highly unorthodox instrument panel.]
00405: America's Radioactive Involuntary Parks. [Attention Conservation Notice: wonk-speak written in an august, fully peer-reviewed science magazine.]
00406: Viridian Aromatizer. [Attention Conservation Notice: It's another in our long series of Viridian Design Contests.]
00407: Aromatizer Contest. [Attention Conservation Notice: Contest entries are tumbling in at an unheard-of rate. I am pitchforking them out in short order, lest they heap up and begin to smell.]
00408: Clouds of Scent. [Attention Conservation Notice: Even more rapidly accumulating entries in the Viridian Aromatizer Contest. Special bonus non-sequitur: lots of astonishing pictures from NASA.]
00409: Green Social Software. [Attention Conservation Notice: It's a stirring call to arms from people who have called to the American population into the righteous streets for, oh, forty years or something. Also includes yet, even lots more, wordy, ingenious entries in the Viridian Aromatizer Contest.]
00410: Sterling Book Tour. [Attention Conservation Notice: Who cares about some author out on the road promoting some new novel. Contains some more entries on the Viridian Aromatizer Contest.]
00411: The NRDC's Long Memory. [Attention Conservation Notice: A long, painstaking, one might even say nitpicking, list of outrages that the NRDC assembled for Earth Day 2004. Also includes more entries for the Viridian Aromatizer Contest.]
00412: Hunger. [Attention Conservation Notice: Grim, scary, involves one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. There are no new entries in the Viridian Aromatizer Contest even though it ends in three days. Last chance, people.]
00413: Aromatizer. [Attention Conservation Notice: Contains the last entries allowed in the contest.]
00414: The Reek. [Attention Conservation Notice: Contains two newspaper articles that got a lot of press attention but probably less than they should. Also announces winner of the Viridian Aromatizer Contest.]
00415: Doom Is Nigh. [Attention Conservation Notice: Spooky, disconcerting, contrarian, and goes on and on and on.]
00416: Enron on Tape. [Attention Conservation Notice: Americans, these people put your President into office. Californians, you lost a governor over this, not to mention a whole, whole lot of your money.]
00417: Live from Croatia. [Attention Conservation Notice: I'm in Croatia trying to clean up a backlog of files. Not too well organized, but, well, I've been busy elsewhere.]
00418: Notes from High Ground. [Attention Conservation Notice: I was in Colorado at this event, and discussing a book that I'm writing on design. Okay, it's a big pamphlet. But it will have some new ideas in it.]
00419: Wonder Bug. [Attention Conservation Notice: continues the long-term Viridian obsession with micro-organisms and their applications.]
00420: Viridian Toilet Humor. [Attention Conservation Notice: We Viridians don't normally dabble in bathroom humor, but these peculiar snippets were assembled by a curator we know who works for the Guggenheim Museum. This is more than toilet humor – this is, like, toilet art.]
00421: The Virtual Actual. [Attention Conservation Notice: I'm keynoting SIGGRAPH in a few days, so I'm getting up to speed on all things virtual. None of the stuff in this Note is really working yet, but, being a futurist, that's why I'm interested.]
