Seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 I was amazed by the overuse of psychological tricks. I felt the movie was a shameful example of propaganda at it's worse, which irritated me since I found Columbine to be a good documentary. In the article Propaganda Tactics and Fahrenheit 9/11 Dr. Kelton Rhoads uses the movie as a case study in propaganda. I recommend it highly.

If you're interested in photography, Flickr is a good place to go. A huge community for the sharing and browsing of snaps. The basic membership is free, and allows you to upload 20 MB of pictures a month, no limit on storage. Be prepared to lose a few hours when going there.

Back in 1932 Aldous Huxley wrote the novel Brave New World. It's available for free on the net because of it's age, as is lots of other great books. Read it. It's amazingly prophetic. And really good too.

Den fremragende side ITConversations byder på et foredrag af Jamais Cascio, der hedder Participatory Panopticon. Det handler om, at forestillinger om Big Brother-overvågning må vige til fordel for en overvågning, der foregår bottom-up. En overvågning, der er resultatet af enkeltindivider med kameratelefoner o.lign., og som ikke har overvågning på dagsordenen. Rigtig interessant perspektiv.
