The Brief, June 12: Diary Display, Calorie Count

Well, here we go! A kickoff to the weekend with Tonic’s Brief updates. Ever wonder how Italy can allow Venice’s most romantic water-roads to fill up with litter so damn fast? Don’t worry — they’re on the case. Switch on your (digitally upgraded!) TV and order some takeout (calorie counting, no extra charge). It’s news to make you smile, just like you like it.
  • Venetian tap? Kick those bottles to the watery curb.
  • Caloric menus may take the fun out of all-you-can-eat buffets … but still be a key to more conscious food consumption.
  • Wind farms and dams — mutually exclusive or the perfect pairing?
  • Today, Anne Frank’s Birthday, museum announces display of her beloved diaries.
  • Behold the dawn of the digital age. Digital TV, of course.
