Deltoid: Charles Montgomery has a detailed expose in the Globe and Mail on the activities of Tim Ball and the Friends of Science. It turns out that the University of Calgary has been used to launder oil company money to fund the Friends of Science.

Charles Montgomery, journalist: “Former geography professor Tim Ball is Canada’s most vocal climate change skeptic. Supporting him is a coalition of oil patch retirees, skeptical scientists, anonymous donors and public relations experts intent on quashing the Kyoto Accord.”

Exploration Age:
Most people really like the embedded Google Maps, but don’t know how easy it is to add them to any page. I’ve had a few people ask me how it is done. With a little bit of HTML knowledge, anyone can quickly have a map up and running in just a few minutes.
