The Garden of Eden is an interesting project that uses lettuce planted in air-tight capsules with the pollution levels of the G8 capitals simulated inside. It think it’s an interesting attempt on data visualization in that it uses the Internet to gather the data and reflect it with the lettuce in a literally organic way.

Wow, it’s amazing people still believe that producing things like Obama Waffles (here, here, and here) produce a positive outcome. From Alternet:
This year’s Value Voter Summit made less news in its speaker line-up than it did for the sale of a particular brand of breakfast food: Obama Waffles. In the far corner of the exhibit hall at the Values Voter Summit two gonzo entrepreneurs hawked a product they described as “political satire”: a box of waffle mix emblazoned with a cartoon image of a bug-eyed, toothy, dark-lipped Barack Obama eyeing a plate of waffles.
