I’ve been reading the Holla Back New York City blog recently, a blog which a group of young activists (mostly women) started as a means to stop men (or women) making degrading comments, sex pests, or any form of sexual harassment, then post the results on a website. They are fighting back with their own […]

A poster on YouTube has published a piece of poetry he performed at an Apple Talent Show, and subsequently got fired for. The poetry is about his telephone conversations with an unnamed “Canadian FedEx Lady”, and towards the end of the movie the movie explained he was fired. However, a lot of posters have come […]

During Feb 20-Feb 22 in London an event called FOWA, or Future of Web Apps even is to be held. Unfortuently I’m a bit late in posting the event, in addition to the fact that the event is totally sold out — so much for being on the pulse and listening to the grapevine. There […]

Fortunately, some guys have made some funny post-celebrity big brother posters, in the same vain as the Patriotic posters […]

The BBC had an item this morning about a hydrogen motorbike that “accelerates like a 125cc scooter. It’s smooth and easy to control, will do 50mph and has a range of 100 miles” and its only by-product is “water vapour”. However when I saw the video of the reporter riding the bike, I couldn’t help […]
