Comparing This Recession to the Last 5
Interesting chart and comments that show how this recession (in jobs lost) compares to ones in the past. So far the decline is similar to that of '81. Guess I was too young to realize that we were in a recession in '81. Never noticed that one. :)
Nancy Pelosi released a similar chart a while back, but her chart is by total number of jobs lost, not in percentage - which would seem more accurate to me. There's another chart here that shows all recession since the '40s. It's a bit harder to read but still interesting.

Sushi's Eye View
An impromptu film made in Tokyo by Dennis Wheatley and Stefan McClean. They were sitting in this sushi bar pondering how best to set up a camera to film things all by itself whilst they were in Tokyo. Take our hands out of the equation... let the camera have its own journey.

This site is amazing and a bit humbling. So many great photos - all screened for quality before being posted. I submitted a few of mine. Will be interesting to see if they get accepted.
