Due to the nature of this site, I have a strange feeling that much of what I write about is of a gloom and despair variety. This isn’t done intentionally. Regardless, starting from today, I will post something of a more uppity nature every week. I’ll do so while trying to keep a gloomy undertone (I kid). So for now, check out this video I made during the Culture Night while visiting Reykjavík, Iceland in August of this year. This was a time when everyone was happy and the streets were made of gold. This was a time before… well… a time before gloom and despair struck! (continued on pg. LM3…)

With the arrival of the 5th anniversary of 9/11. One needs to remember those who lost their lives and the families they left behind. It is of great significance to realize that there have been similarily horrible acts of terror since then, but none of which have ocurred on such a large scale. It is possible that the efforts of the world have had something to do with this. It is possible. But this post is simply a reminder that some efforts have been misguided. (continued on pg. LM2…)

In less than a month the tragic events of September 11th 2001 will recognize its fifth anniversary. New audio tapes have been released in recent weeks and again today as a way to share with the population further examples of how the victims responded to the events as they were unfolding. Yet, this week is significant for reasons of a related matter. It is during this week that the number of U.S. Deaths (2,601) confirmed by the Department of Defense in the Iraq War will outnumber the confirmed lives claimed in the World Trade Center Towers (2,602) on that historic date. This mention is definitely one of symbolism, as everything else I might say has already been discussed.

The World Can Be Turned Off With the Flick of a Switch (But Nobody is That Stupid)
The nuclear ambitions of Iran and North Korea have been making headlines for years now. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad insists his nuclear ambitions are peaceful and that anyone who believes otherwise (most of the western world) are under the spell of the American Empire. Then there’s Kim Jong-il, who wants to make it perfectly clear that [...]

The Colbert Effect (Updated)
I’ve written two articles (I and II) on Wikipedia and Colbert in the last week and a half and promise to you that this will be the final chapter of my Colbert Report discussion. Pt. III of the trilogy if you will. But there have been some interesting developments since then so here I am yet again.

Why Bill Gates is my Hero
It was just a few days ago that I wrote an article about the recent emergence of the new philanthropist movement. With Bill Gates and Warren Buffett promising billions of dollars towards a mélange of disease related research, I argued that this will hopefully be a sign of things to come (I’m looking at you [...]
