By discovering the work of Mexican artist Salvador Diaz all of the sudden, reading the newspaper becomes very inspiring and colourful. His way of intervening with the articles and at the same time demonstrating his great talent for painting seems to be the perfect mixture: Beautiful pieces of art which at the same time transport a message to the spectator.

There’s a story in the news in New York at the moment that’s more interesting than any movie I’ve seen, book I’ve read, or reality show I’ve watched. It all revolves around a man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller, aka Christopher Chichester, whose actual name is Christian Gerhartsreiter, and who comes from a small town in Germany before moving to America and living a life of deception. Confused? Well, get this: he became someone he never was for more than twenty years.

It started off as a relatively small news item when a Rockefeller heir was caught kidnapping his own daughter. But then they found out that he was not a Rockefeller at all, and that there is an unsolved murder case from the 1980s that he is a ‘person of interest’ in. Every time he’s on the news, the story gets more interesting.

New York Times writer Mark Bittman is a renegade foodie who, with his books and Minimalist video blog, demystifies food much to the chagrin of many a professional chef. Of late, he’s been promoting Michael Pollan-style food ethics. Here he is speaking at TED, beseeching us to really think about what we’re eating for the sake of our bodies and our planet. Notice that he advocates responsible and restrained meat-eating over all out vegetarianism, which many meat lovers may find a more accessible message than that of the ‘meat is murder’ crowd.
