The Art of Money

There is a great web page on art made from money here at the Brain Pickings website.

All About Henry

I just heard this CBC documentary 'All About Henry' and enjoyed it very much. You can listen to it here.

This cool film was made by filmmaker Bruce Branit.

This American Life

This American Life is an excellent radio program out of Chicago, which tells (real and fictional) stories of people's lives. It has a free podcast, and also free access to its archives. I highly recommend Episode 355: The Giant Pool of Money and Episode 289: Go Ask Your Father, but really I have enjoyed almost every episode I have ever heard (and that is many, many episodes).

Ducks versus man

Agatha Christie via last.fm

I hope that I am not the only one who finds this quote delightful:

"How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks."
— Dorothy Sayers, Gaudy Night

I know Dorothy Sayers as a mystery writer. I used to read a lot of her books when I was young. Her fictional character, Lord Peter Wimsey, has his own Wikipedia page.
