Yesterday was world’s environment day. I thought I’ll share some links for this day:

• BBC has made a new webpage called “BLOOM=smart choices for the carbon conscience” for those who want to do their bit for the environment. It gives you practical suggestions to reduce CO2 emission, along with the costs and other information. I’m sure you can find a lot of helpful information in there. (thanks to Marco for sending me the link!)

I wrote a relatively long post in my Persian blog about Freiburg as part of Green movement between Persian bloggers. Freiburg is the Ecological and Solar capital of Germany. I thought here I can share one video and a few links for those who are interested:

• An interview about Freiburg history and how it became the Eco-friendly city
• More videos
• Solar region of Freiburg

Yesterday 1st of May was International workers’ day and RSS awareness day… Congratulations to all workers and for those of you who are still not too much familiar with RSS you can watch this Video which is RSS in plain English:

Those of you who have something to do with biology know the importance of PCR in molecular biology today, for those of you who don’t know what Polymerase Chain Reaction is (or don’t care), in short one can say PCR did the same thing to Molecular Biology research that Transistor did to electronics! This is a video-song called PCR song, watching it you can also know a bit more what PCR can do! The song was made as an advertisement for Bio-Rad PCR machines and similar to USA for Africa song! In the rest of this post I also attach the Lyrics. Here you can find the original video and download it. I like it when at the end one of the guys is dancing with a PCR machine! ;))

In his homepage you can watch other videos of his performance with “Walter”.

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

Edith Wharton

I first saw this quote in an Amnesty international commercial on YouTube. I was surfing in YouTube for the Amnesty international advertisement which you can watch here. I find it really well made,I thought I will share both with you.

I am a fan of System of a Down. Unfortunately at the moment they’re not going to give out a new album but they are working solo. On their homepage you can listen to all their songs and read their lyrics. I think my favorite are Hypnotize, BYOB and Lonely Day. Serj Tankian has a great new single called “empty walls” which you can watch the video and listen to it on his homepage. I will also post the video and the lyrics of this song in this post.
