This is a helmet mounted cam view of the world as a tower worker climbs to his "office". Warning to those who have vertigo: Don't watch this. http://www.viduu.com/video/stairway-to-heaven-78198/?utm_source=wahoha.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=wahoha See this Amp at http://amplify.com/u/anzqn

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind The movie presents a world where one can erase memories. In fact the title comes from an Alexander Pope poem about two characters who are exploring how to handle their relationship. I like the scene where Clementine and Joel skates over a frozen lake. It comes as a good metaphor for any relationship. Clementine slips and bruises her butt. Her impulsiveness leaves Joel fearful to venture out. So they lied down and stared at the stars, hopeful. Of course like all relationships, they both find faults and annoyances about each other. These imperfections finally drove Clementine to seek professional help. She decided to forget Joel. She wanted to erase her memory of him. Later it would happen also to Joel. Eternal Sunshine is not chronological. It coils up into itself. It reconstructs reality. It shows the gradual blotting out of Joel's memory. It shows his struggle to hold on to a piece of Clementine because he still loves her. A str...

The picture of Assange appeared in an Iraqi demonstration protesting American presence in that country. Zuckerberg's face (with lipstick) appeared in a Tunisian pro-democracy rally as that country overthrew a long-time dictator. That however is the case within the Arab world. The image below illustrate the dichotomy within the west. Is the social networks a double edged sword that can cut both ways?

ChromeOS MIGHT BE RIGHTI am typing a post to my Amplify account. I have my Google Reader to monitor other sites I am watching. I also have my webmail ready. I don't know about you but the twitter browser interface is still the best way to tweet. Facebook is open in another tab. I'm listening to my favorite internet radio tunes in another tab. All this is possible using a browser which in my case is Firefox.I did have to open a Microsoft Word document yesterday. So I went to google docs and uploaded it, modified it and then saved it in the open format, odt, saved it not in my hard drive but in the cloud. Maybe ChromeOS is right. Maybe Google is right. They just don't have to rub my nose in it. http://amplify.com/u/bmwlc

http://bit.ly/bJsbnM is what Google Buzz should be (maybe if Google had separated it from Gmail) but is not. I am finding it very compelling but not intimidating. I don't want to call it a blog. Other sites are launching a "blog everyday" project but the simplicity of amplify just can't be ignored. http://amplify.com/u/bmw82

Cue the whiners and the protesters, Facebook is making changes in its privacy policies once again. By now we should realize that if we don't want the world to know personal details about us, don't post it on Facebook. In the opening scenes of Ronin, Sam, played by Robert de Niro, infiltrates a dark for hire group of rag tag criminals. Deidre, played by Natasha Mcelhone, asks him what he was doing. And he replies: "Lady, I don't get into situations I don't know how to get out of."

Mainstream media is still relying on the public to vote out the lies and strengthen rational thinking by voicing out their opinions. They have underestimated the effectiveness of a 24/7 cycle of right-wing conservative propaganda. If you still doubt it, you just proved my point. This Politicususa article by Sarah Jones should have come out during the Healthcare debates and when Wallstreet showed we cannot trust them as well as deserve our help in the form of federal money. I welcome it but it's so late. Amplify’d from www.politicususa.com Note that the mainstream media was complicit in this effort as it took the media a long time to begin to identify that perhaps the Tea Party was not a grassroots movement of angry people but rather a well-funded astroturfed missile aimed at healthcare reform by financial interests. A perfect example of this would be the successful systemic disruption of townhall meetings by Tea Party foot soldiers, which resulted in the political goal of creati...

URL:   http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/01/15/scammers-exp... Scammers are using social networks for its ease of penetration. If one of your friends click on a link, wouldn't you trust that link too? Is it the end of LINKS in social networks? Just remember the basics folks. Links are better than using pdf files or images. Why? When you use links you can tell your recipients WHAT the link is all about, WHERE the link will transfer them if they click, WHY they should click. Obviously as recipients when you don't see your friend's link at the other end, we conclude this as bogus period. Fail. Don't proceed. Just close the tab. The problem with Portable Document Format PDF is it is the favorite platform for exploits and attacks. Same with image files. This is why your email clients strip email messages of images. It's not safe. And be careful with opening pdf attachments. Don't click links that doesn't tell you WHAT, WHERE AND WHY. I co...
