“The basic premise of the Founding Fathers was man’s right to his own life, to his own liberty, to the pursuit of his own happiness—which means: man’s right to exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself; and that the political implementation of this right is a society where men deal with one another as traders, by voluntary exchange to mutual benefit.”

- Ayn Rand

When Greatness Slips Away:

As a nation, we are becoming more and more accustomed to a sense of helplessness. We no longer rise to the great challenges before us. It’s not just that we can’t plug the oil leak, which is the perfect metaphor for what we’ve become. We can’t seem to do much of anything. - Bob Herbert

British Petroleum’s well has been pouring thousands of barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico for over a month, killing thousands of animals, and obliterating any sea life in its path. To make matters worse, there’s no end in sight.

MetaLab, Campaign Monitor, Squarespace, and WooThemes have come together to match donations to the National Wildlife Federation (up to $35,000).

These animals need our help. Donate now.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

I walk past this mysterious, vacant building every day. And as I pass, I wonder about its history, what is behind that beautiful facade, and why does it lay vacant and rotting. Apparently, I’m not the only one who curiously admires this edifice. Nick Carr of Scouting New York was lucky enough to have a private tour and he posted little tidbits of what he learned along with many photos of 5 Beekman Street. The inside is just as beautiful as I had imagined it would be, if not more. (photo via Nick Carr)
