A couple of quick blog-worthy items

Penelope Trunk’s blog is sometimes interesting, but with this post she’s hit a home run. Funny but serious, insightful and worth a read: Career Lessons from Elliot Spitzer’s prostitute. Seriously. I won’t even try and summarize it, as its short and excellent.

Secondly, ever what the door to hell looks like? How about this?

Or maybe this?

Apparently a gas well in Uzbekistan that’s been burning for 35 years. Worth a read and to look at the pictures; quite striking.

Thanks for the link to Penelope Trunk’s excellent blog – Great post, and I think the site will get bookmarked.

And…it looks like THAT gate to hell was paved with good intentions. And stupidity.

Its unbelievable that so much gas could wastefully burn for so long!! Imagine the quantity of carbon dioxide being produced! What idiot accidently (?) set it on fire? Lets hope the human race never gets what it deserves! Our stewardship of the planet is truly awful.
