I found Pa++ern artist's tweet-to-shirt process intriguing. They use Twitter to encode messages, which they then print onto T-shirts. Brilliant. I liked it.

The Post-Cartel Diamond World
Rob Bates was spot on. Today De Beers is in the business of self-preservation, like everyone else. The company may have changed in stature, but still it remains an important player in the industry.

Peter Day's report from Bolivia about the riches from its recently discovered vast lithium resources was interesting. The government is building a pilot plant to learn how to get the lithium out of these salt flats, and then how to evaporate the brine and separate the precious metal from the salt. I hope the government will do the right thing for the people of Bolivia.
