The video of the UCLA tasering incident made available on YouTube (not for the squeamish - you’ve been warned) raises a number of interesting questions. Lauren Weinstein paints this incident in a bigger picture, and, in a short, wonderful note on the subject, reminds us that our critical thinking skills are more important than ever. And a nice little article in The Atlantic on the unexpected consequences of everyone having a camera with them all of the time by James Fallows. Finally, take a look at some state-of-the-art digital photo manipulation looks like from research on content-aware image sizing presented at SIGGRAPH 2007.

This seems to be a good place to add mention of this unusual piece on fantasy football and information literacy ("National Librarian Sport Declared").
