Ze Frank lays it all out on another great episode of That Makes Me Think Of.

This time, he covers the “World’s Ugliest Dog Competition”, Al Franken, exorcisms, and giant cucumbers amongst other issues. Quality laughs, compelling presentation, and a new trend idea… #thinklong.

This is brilliant art. The installation would be fun to see in-person. The pictures don’t seem to do it justice.

Here is yet another fantastic installation of the “That Makes Me Think Of” video series from Ze Frank over on Time magazine. I really think that Ze Frank has hit his stride. It’s unfortunate that Time’s video site doesn’t cleanly archive all of the series together. Perhaps they’ll get it right eventually.

Kyle did a great job on this one. I subscribe to The Daily Figure for a little dose of art each day.

I happened upon this article from Dan Colman at Open Culture in my RSS reader this morning.

Another helpful primer that does a good job of explaining what’s happening with the Iranian protests, who the cast of characters are, and where things might be headed. Produced by NPR’s Fresh Air, the interview features Karim Sadjadpour, a political analyst from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. The conversation gets quite informative, especially during the second half. It runs 45 minutes in total.

I’ve included the audio here on Indigo Spot as well. The interview contains some good insights on Iran, it’s people, and it’s culture.
