A Module Can be a Work of Art - Flickr Proves It

A Module Can be a Work of Art - Flickr Proves It. This morning I had a very nice comment on my Hey Monkeybrain debate, STARBUCKS vs. Dunkin' Donuts -- Coffee Wars! by fellow lensmaster buddy Treasures-By-Brenda. Brenda became immediately topical, hitting the topicability index, with her very green, eco-friendly comment.

The major problem with all of these coffee shops, whether it is Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Tim Horton's or any other one, is those pesky paper cups. Twenty-two percent of the litter picked up in Nova Scotia is...you got it...Tim Horton's coffee cups. I hope you will visit my lens about Banning Paper Coffee Cups and tell me whether you think paper cups should be banned or not!

Well, I didn't visit that paper cup lens immediately, but happened upon another of hers, Baby Carrots ~~ When Is A Carrot Not A Carrot? Reading Brenda's baby carrots lens, I was taken aback by the absolute beauty in her module entitled, Carrots Sure Are a Beautiful Thing. OMG, to say baby carrots can be beautiful and a work of art is saying a mouthful. Take a look at the picture I've included above! This is a carrots mosaic on Flickr by M Kasahara. Check out more of her beautiful mosaics. She used a couple of cool programs to generate her mosaics, FD's FlickrToys and Fireshot, a Firefox extension for screenshots.

Topicability Drink - Starbucks Coffee

The Topicability Drink - Starbucks Coffee vs. Dunkin Donuts vs. Coffee Shops. To know that coffee is topical, look no further than today's SquidU Review email from Kimberly -- Coffee Shops: We want YOU!

What do you think about when you think “coffee shop?” Do you think brick walls covered in abstract art, with the hiss of the espresso machine interrupting delightful chatter? Do you think serene walls in teal and cream, with enormous ceramic cappuccino mugs and oversized chairs that wrap you into their folds while you read? Or do you think of your own local coffee shop, with the chalkboard menu you’ve memorized, coveted internet connection, and regulars that appear like clockwork? -- Kimberly

My Sample Coffee Shop is the lens Squidoo HQ has designed to show you how to start creating your coffee lens for highlighting your very own "java central."

P.S. While you are thinking about it and what you think about Starbucks coffee, why not weigh in on the Hey Monkeybrain debate that I've been hosting at Squidoo. It's STARBUCKS vs. Dunkin' Donuts - Coffee Wars! This debate has been waging for well over a year. It was the FIRST of its kind; now there are a number of similar debates on coffee. To know that coffee is hitting the topicability index, searching Squidoo produces 986 lenses at the minimum. A "Starbucks" search yields 286 lenses; "Starbucks coffee" returned 157 lenses. I predict that number will rise very soon!
