Visual Democracy: Memory Hole
The Memory Hole lists videos that are available from the Congressional Research Service...
"The Congressional Research Service—well-known for its detailed, unbiased, and hard-to-obtain reports for Congress—also uses taxpayer money to create videos. Even rarer than their paper counterparts, the CRS videos can nonetheless be requested by US citizens through their Congressional representatives."

GNR8: Beyond the Light Fixture to Fixation on Light
From the site:
Website: http://gnr8.typepad.com/gnr8_news/
"GNR8 is about the interface between lighting, design & culture. We're not interested in the old paradigm of the light fixture (although some of those can be cool). We ARE interested in seeing how modern designers are using light to enhance the objects of their design, and changing our lifestyles in the process. "

Whenever possible, I've tried to append entries with related Library of Congress Subject Headings. These headings are links that take you deep into the "controlled vocabulary" that is the heart of the Library's online catalog. George Steiner (in a 1973 essay titled "After the Book?") went so far as to say that a library's catalog "enacts a formalized vision of how the world is put together, of what are the optimal sight-lines between the human mind and phenomenological totality." Phenomenological totality may or may not change, but the human mind does, thus Library of Congress Subject Headings do too...so, there is some (obvious) variance between common usage and the headings. Here are the "optimal sight lines" for July (in no particular order). Communication -- Philosophy
