Jeepers, Creepers, How'd Ya Get Rid of Those Sneakers?
From grist.org, advice on recycling athletic shoes and more. Nice.
Recently I'm having trouble allowing comments on my posts...I'll try to fix that soon.

Every once in a while, you see an article that completely jibes with your worldview. As cultural pundits seem to point out on a daily basis, it may be getting easier for us to seek out this kind of self-confirming information, due to the increasing diversity and accessibility of our media. Usually, it's argued that this is an unfortunate trend -- our attitudes can become calcified, unchallenged. I tend to buy that argument (though I'm not sure how much data exist to back it up.) Nevertheless, I still find myself suckered into the behavior of seeking out those articles that reinforce my existing opinions. All of which is a long way of trying to establish some link between the two articles I wanted to post today:
First: How to Live with Just 100 Things.
I saw this in Time magazine last night. Hooray for the American populace (or at least a select minority) for finally choosing to renounce consumerism.
Second: What we can do and what we cannot do with fMRI. This is an article that came out in Nature this week by Nikos Logothetis. I haven't read it yet, but Logothetis is always a worthwhile read, and the topic is always worth reviving.
