I haven’t made it to Dubai yet but I’ve got my eye on it. Take a look at the footage offered up Aaron Mendez. It’s great work and for my music heads the track backing the footage call “Midnight City” off the album Hurry up. We’re dreaming by M83. Enjoy. @buie

I freely admit to having entirely too many Facebook “Friends” that I don’t associate with in real life. I have been a bit more selective with Twitter and I am currently protecting Google + Circles with my life.
This promo for an opera entitled Two Boys gives an interesting perspective on how social media might play out in real life.

The fact that there is a need for this organization to exist is far from cool. The fact that they’ve worked tirelessly for 50 years speaking on behalf of individuals and groups who’s rights have been violated, is very cool and very necessary.

After watching the video you are compelled to learn more visit http://www.amnesty.org/ – Buie

Add this to the target in question and most analyst agree that this was an instance where code was used as a weapon.
