The Rise of Blogs – Trevin makes a good observation about the rise of blogs and the associated demise of traditional media. “Then it dawned on me.

Changing the Way We Learn – The Internet is changing the way we learn, and this infographic displays it.

Barfing Baby Frogs – How weird is this? “Male Darwin’s frogs engage in a behavior called mouth-brooding, where they take their own fertilized eggs into their mouth just before they hatch.
