I came across the above photo of Ingmar Bergman visiting the shark ("Bruce") from Steven Spielberg's Jaws and couldn't resist posting it. The photo was apparently taken by celebrity photographer John Bryson in 1975. I wasn't able to find any additional information as to the reason for Bergman's visit or even if it was during the film's shooting, but there it is. You can get a larger look at the picture by giving it a click.

Is it possible to separate economic growth from environmental damage? President Obama's nomination today of Natural Resources Defense Council cofounder John Bryson as Commerce Secretary means we're trying.
President Obama's nomination today of businessman and Natural Resources Defense Council cofounder John Bryson as Commerce Secretary is a refreshing sign for those who want economic growth and environmental protection to go hand in hand.
In addition to his role at the Nrdc, Bryson has a laundry list of impressive accomplishments--he is the former CEO of Edison International (the parent company of Southern California Edison, which is the largest utility in California), as well as a director of corporations including Boeing, Walt Disney, and electric vehicle startup Coda Automotive. Perhaps most interestingly, Bryson is also the chairman of the board of BrightSource Energy, which you may remember as the company building giant Google-funded solar farms in the desert. He knows...

Coda gears up for its all-electric sedan's big test.
Sliding into the driver's seat of Coda's electric sedan for the first time, I looked around for clues. Here's 100 years of automotive history, reinvented -- what's different? No gear-shift, just a knob that engages the car's two speeds, forward and reverse. A battery-life gauge. Not much else.

The Coda's motor barely whimpers as it speeds into a new market for cars with no gas and no exhaust.
In the fall of 2010, the Coda sedan will become the first...
