An interesting article from Wired discussing the new advances in artificial diamond production. Includes this wonderful quote from a De Beers representative:

If people really love each other, then they give each other the real stone.

Yes, because nothing says love than a hunk of carbon, rare only by virtue of the huge De Beers cartel, extracted from the earth by poorly paid and often ill-treated African workers, does it?

I know it makes me a bad person, but I love this film..

Research for an idea I'm working on…

Anybody in Chapel Hill/Carrboro with nothing better to do tonight; The New Pornographers are playing the Cat's Cradle. I highly recommend them.
