Behold the truth of the eeris eye thin
Some days it seems like there is an almost limitless supply of interesting things floating around the web. This is one of those days. First of all it's nice to see that there are still people capable of critical thinking in this day and age. The Propaganda Remix Project applies some on American society, and reardless of the validity and level-of-appropriateness of the posters on the site I feel that the stir they create is an end in itself. Taking things for granted is dangerous, and blind trust even more so. Then again, cynicism is not something to strive for either... Via avs Online.
Adtastic?
Speaking of brainwash, here's 10 ads America won't see. It's interesting how things work and/or don't from culture to culture. Fortunately the wonder-that-is-the-Internet makes it possible to mix and match these things. Via Slashdot.

Angles are important, distance is as well. At least when you're doing kite aerial photography. I must say that would be something I'd love to try out, but I don't have the extra money to lose cameras quite that willingly... I think I'll stick to taking macro photographs and combining weird things into even weirder collages... Which reminds me, I should really try and get some images up here at some point. I've created some that are actually approaching something almost beatiful. Also via Slashdot.
All things must come to an end.
While we're busy looking at things we might as well join the Inquirer in looking at the shift away from Microsoft's software. Check out the article The IT industry is shifting away from Microsoft. Personally I think it's right on the button, at least I hope so. I don't have anything against Microsoft, but I believe that free software has the potential to create a collaboration phenomenon on a global scale. Having people from completely different countries and cultures working towards common goals can't exactly be bad for world peace, now can it? I'm not saying that swithing to GNU/Linux will stop any wars, but every little bit helps, right?
