this has got to be one of the best company names ever: the great elephant poo poo paper company. they make paper from dung. check them out at http://poopoopaper.com/
it may be cool to buy these environmentally safe products for yourself, but i don't know about giving this stationary as a gift... just imagine the conversation:
"i got you this paper"
"oh wow! thanks!"
"it's made out of poo!"
"are you trying to send me some sort of message?"
"ummm... you like elephants and paper, so i thought..."
"yeah, but i don't like poo and that's what you gave me. in my hand too. you just handed it to me, like, 'here you go. here's some poo product.' you are a shitty friend."

andrew sullivan, who's mostly political blog i read regularly, has been getting into tracking shots recently. i've reposted some below.
robert altman's "the player"
scorsese's "goodfellas"
cuaron's "children of men"
godard's "weekend"
more here, including russian ark, which is pretty amazing... one continuous shot through the hermitage museum tells 300 hundred years of russian history featuring something like 3 orchestras. a directorial nightmare, i suspect.
