| Brazilian newspaper's linkbait: Bloggers are monkeys! Cory Doctorow:
A Brazilian newspaper aired a commercial comparing bloggers to monkeys -- as in, "if you read those stupid blog things instead of real newspapers, you're reading junk written by monkeys." Jose Murilo thinks the whole campaign is just linkbait: piss off bloggers, bloggers link to you, you get readers and traffic (note that this post does not contain the name of the n [..] |

Temple of Dawn: visit inside a Brazilian UFO cult  Don't trifle with spirits, said my American friend as we enter this weird syncretic Brazilian sanctuary in the outskirts of Brasilia, called the Temple of Dawn. I am wearing my white Brazilian dress with big black Brazilian ants on it, and I cover my bare shoulders with a colorful silk shawl with tiny celebrity faces: from Hitler to Jesus. It is about to rain outside, one of those tropical storms [..] |

| Everyone on TV reads the same newspaper Everybody on TV and in movies reads the same newspaper, it seems. And they've been reading that standard newspaper prop for decades. At a guess: paranoid studio lawyers don't want to use real newspapers because they think that they might get a copyright complaint from the paper (despite this incidental use being clearly fair use), so they insist that set-dressers all use the same prop that's fully [..] |

| HOWTO make a weapon out of a newspaper Cory Doctorow:
Here's instructions for making a simple egg-gun. Cut the end off a caulking tube, stick a propane BBQ lighter up one end of it, let some gas build up behind the egg, then squeeze the trigger. The soft-boiled egg is propelled at high speed out of the tube, along with a satisfying jet of flame.
