The Machine is Us/ing Us

A very thought provoking piece about the future of Web 2.0. Every time you click, the machine learns something about you. The Question is - whos watching the machine?

dubstep

Well - 'dubstep' has gotta hold on me.
Id heard about this new form of music, based in the UK - but only recently heard it.

Its very me.

Lots of very fat beats, break business & general darkness.

I warn you, you need large speakers, turned up full.

Get a load of this.

BBC documentary

Kintaro Walks Japan

A very sweet, if not a little naive amateur documentary of a 6 foot US teen walking the length of the Japanese Islands.

Surplus: Terrorized Into Being Consumers

Personally I think this is a very well executed piece of work.
All though released in 2003, it is still fresh in its treatment of some very major issues, represented in a way to keep the 15 second attention slot filled.
It is multi-lingual, and sadly the versions listed here give you a choice between French, Spanish or German subtitles for the non English parts.
However - please remember that as with a lot of these works, this IS copyrighted content & really shouldn't be on GoogleVideo at all.
The full package can be purchased here, with a license for public viewing.

Alexander Litvinenko Documentary

A very interesting & moving documentary about Alexander Litvinenko, the poisoned Russian asylum seeker.
This is all a very sad state of affairs, and seems (as usual) to have powerful corrupt politicians, secret services and shadowy organisations operating outside of International Law at its root.

Atheist Anger

To keep with my policy of posting it as & when you find it I include this little gem.

TAKE NOTE

a) you 'get' Dawkins
b) youve been drinking

& seeing that we're having an aethist tip this month,
Douglas Adams - yes the man behind the 'Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy' rants forth (brilliantly) about Atheism. Radio Show
