1. 35 Surreal Examples of Multiplicity Photography: Multiplicity photography is a technique where a single object is copied into the same photographic frame in numerous different instances. The results are often amusing, whimsical and occasionally very lovely.
2. I Am Not A Brand: Digital media aficionados, listen up: author Maureen Johnson has a beautiful vision for the internet, and it is completely against the idea of “selling yourself”. An extremely insightful and refreshing article.
3. Yahoo Answers Fail: Yahoo has a service that provides a forum for people to get their questions answered. Unfortunately, sometimes people ask some real doozies. Fortunately, someone has compiled the gems for our reading pleasure.
4. Everybody Hates BP: At least we can turn our hatred into art.
5. Willow Smith: Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s daughter is a young adult with a killer personal sense of style. I mean, what were YOU wearing when you were NINE?

Thanks Elena – miss you! We need to plan a PRI get together soon!
