Privacy? Please…
In honor of Google’s new worrisome privacy policy and the news that the FBI may be using FaceBook and other social media to spy on Americans: Click to enlarge In the Information age, data is power, and it should be no surprise that governments and companies want as much access to your personal information as …

Vada a bordo, cazzo!
We live in a world where people are quick to pass the buck, to claim it’s not their problem, to blame others, to manipulate the truth, to lie. It might not be anything new, but I feels like it gets worse every year. The outraged that Italian cost guard commander De Falco expressed at the …

Nothing to see here folks…
In the middle of the night the police move in to kick out the OWS protesters. The mayor said it was over health and legal concerns. Thank goodness NYC is run by someone who cares so much about health and legality that he gives no-bid contracts to drink venders in our schools and decides the …

“Celebrating” the Anniversary of the Iraq War
click to enlarge As of March 20, it’s been eight years since we went into Iraq. You may have missed the celebration, because the U.S. was busy getting involved in yet another conflict in the Middle East.

Congratulation Republicans!
Congratulation Republicans! You overwhelmingly took back Governorships, the House, AND THE SENATE (you already have the Supreme Court). By embracing and incorporating a fringe movement, working lock-step within party platform of being rigid and uncompromising regardless of the issue, and your willingness to accept money from any sources and use whatever tactics necessary to win, …

Fun with Graphs
The Drawing Board This idea is blatantly stolen from Cej (see, Cej, you mom is right; you shouldn’t talk to me). Since the midterm elections are coming up, I wanted to do something social/political, which I haven’t really done since the ABCs of the USA. Obviously, I can’t draw, but I’ve always said that the …

ALA or Bust? Busted! Part I
I should have realized it was a warning. in the week before the trip to Washington DC that I planned for myself and my schoolmates in order to visit the Library of Congress and attend the American Library Association’s annual meeting, the following mechanical items broke down: My bank card, my parents computer, and my …

Dear Media
Click to enlarge. I realize that it’s a lot of work for journalists to describe what is happening in the world, especially when it’s so much easier to act as stenographers for politicians and corporations. The idea that the media is still calling this “a spill” two months into the crisis proves to me that …

Slick
Click to enlarge. I guess I’m not real worried about the cost of the clean up to BP. At $40 million a day in profit, they can afford to employ many of the out-of-work people. Just using Tony Hayward’s salary ($4.7 m/yr), BP could hire a couple hundred people for a year. Obviously, money alone …

Et tu, Jobs? Take Two
Went back to the Apple store as suggested by the tech support operator I had called and the store staff told me that my 4 year old iBook didn’t have the intel chip they were switching to at the time, and that it is my fault for not checking the box before getting a incompatible …

Et tu, Jobs?
Today I actually received the ipad I bought last week. I didn’t mind the delay, or that they gave me the wrong model (I caught it before it become a big deal), or that no one in the store had any time to explain the features I had questions about, but I DO mind that …
