War Made Easy

War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Chavez: Inside the Coup

2002 documentary about the April 2002 Venezuelan coup attempt which briefly deposed Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. A television crew from Ireland's national broadcaster, RT� happened to be recording a documentary about Chávez during the events of April 11, 2002. Shifting focus, they followed the events as they occurred. During their filming, the crew recorded images of the events that they say contradict explanations given by Chávez's opposition, the private media, the US State Department, and then White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. The documentary says that the coup was the result of a conspiracy between various old guard and anti-Chávez factions within Venezuela and the United States.

Infinite Secrets

Before his death in 212 B.C., Archimedes pens some of his most important treatises and equations onto a collection of papyrus scrolls in Greek. These include some of the most profound and cutting edge Mechanical Theorems to date. Thought to be lost but never forgotten the battered manuscript of parchment leaves was found hidden under the writings of an ancient prayer book. It is said that if the manuscript had been found sooner, the world would be a very different place.

• Derek's Blog » UK update #1 – computers in exams
  a project involving 14 colleges in Denmark that are piloting a new system of exams where students are allowed full access to the internet during their final exams. According to the article, in the exam, students can access any site they like, even Facebook, but they cannot message each other or email anyone outside the classroom. The Swedish government are quoted as saying, “if the internet is so much a part of daily life, it should be included in the classroom and in examinations.”
• Julian Bellamy on C4 & Creative Provocation - 38minutes
  The internet is obviously an increasingly powerful influence. But where television still just about unites, the web fragments. When social media does manage to deliver a collective experience, it’s remarkable how often it revolves around tv content. Television still has greater power than any other creative medium to influence public attitudes. And yet it is increasingly characterised by the lack of places in which mainstream audiences can engage with provocative, non-conformist ideas. If our most universal and influential medium fails to challenge and provoke, if a fear of offending the audience begins to proscribe creative freedoms, then I believe the danger to our broader cultural life is clear. Our society will become less democratic. Less enlightened. Ultimately, less free.

People’s use of the mobile phone and the internet is associated with larger and more diverse discussion networks. And, when we examine people’s full personal network – their strong and weak ties – internet use in general and use of social networking services such as Facebook in particular are associated with more diverse social networks.

• Download Keynote Tweet - A simple Applescript Application for automatically sending tweets from Apple Keynote during a presentation - Softpedia
  Keynote Tweet is a free, simple to use and open source script that provides the capacity to participate in the backchannel by combining Twitter with Apple Keynote. All you have to do is add text wrapped in [twitter] and [/twitter] tags in the presenter notes section of a slide. When that slide comes up in the presentation the script grabs that text and sends it to Twitter on your behalf. Out of the box it will ask you if you want to add any #hashtags or @mentions to all the tweets (e.g. for a conference #hashtag), and will watch your presenter notes for [twitter]twitter this[/twitter], ignoring the rest of your notes, while in presentation mode only.
