1. Comparing North Korea with the Soviet Union. Via North Korean Economy Watch.
2. Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union. On the ground accounts from the people who were there, retrospectives digging into the intangibles that sparked the revolution, and what the fall initially meant for dictators the world over compared to China's template today.
3. Visualizing our fuel reserves. Made for GE by Information is Beautiful.
4. Fukashima is worse than our short-attention spans would like to believe.
