via vimeo.com Along the lines of Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story, this film examines the interglobal economic system and how it's designed to subjugate and subvert. Makes it that much easier to understand how we're all screwed just for being consumers in this system... and how 90% of the world's economy is nonexistent. Thanx @dshype3 for this eye-opening tweet.

via Personalize Media This lil' app is a tracker showing how many people are using social media right now and what they’re doing. It’s definitely cool, and really shows the power of social media. It also shows mobile device counts and games-- just click the titles in the upper right there. Interesting, eh?

They're the same kind of people who said automobiles are just a fad, who said nobody wants to hear movie actors talk, who said graphical computing isn't real computing.

via treehugger.com A few months ago, I was discouraged that my simple act of asking individuals to shut off their engines was not having enough impact. My 'new to Canada' neighbour especially drives me crazy as he runs his diesel fuelled GMC extended van every morning for 20 minutes no matter what the weather. We've had a few delightful confrontations which usually end with him yelling: "You, woman, go in house. I do what I want!" He even pounds his chest. I'm not kidding.
