I know this video is a little old by now, but the statistics here really blow my mind when I stop to think about what they really mean. Do you know what the really mean? Please weigh in with your comments.

Hangin’ with the Homies in BP

A midsummer’s evening in downtown Budapest is the perfect time to hang out with friends, get a little ice cream, tell stories, and – if you’ve got a bitchin’ camera like my pal Nadji – tape the whole thing.

Nobel Winner Tells of Her Ordeals in Iran

Thanks to John McGill for sending me this video of an interview with Shirin Ebadi. In it she tells of how she has been treated in the wake of receiving her Nobel Peace Prize and on the eve of the trial of the 7 Bahá’ís accused of espionage for Israel, whom she is representing.

Shirin Ebadi is a hero for me. Even though she is not a Bahá’í she is risking her life for them and is doing what she can to fight against the prejudice and suffering of Bahá’ís, women, and other groups the Iranian government discriminates against. She is a model to all of us of someone who can look beyond the boundaries of religion and serve humankind as a whole.
