I’m a big fan of the “Big Picture” a series done by the Boston Globe. This week they featured photos from the G20 protests in Toronto. One of the photos (#22) even captures Roger Reis, the good samaritan who stopped a looter in this video. In the shot he is holding back black-clad members of the protesters trying to get into a mall.

I found an odd subsite of CNN today. Eatocracy is a food site offered by CNN. It’s a collection of a lot of foodie information provided by various CNN sources. It’s pretty obvious that it’s more of a pet project rather than a full-on attempt to become #1 food portal, but the content is pretty good.
