Slavoj Žižek on Charity (visualized for RSA Animate)
You can see the original (30min.) lecture on “First as Tragedy, Then as Farce” here.
This comes in my favorite color! (Look carefully…)
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart - Rod Blagojevich Extended Interview Pt. 1
This is very very fascinating stuff to me.

Christoph Schlingensief died on Saturday, after battling cancer for years. His work meant a lot to me, many people of my generation and far beyond that. I’m thankful for his thoughts, ideas, ideals in everything he did. A great one we lost far too early.

Great recap about that net neutrality space shuttle thing Google has been up to…
Mine Storm on Vectrex:Hooray! It actually boots up! The monitor looks nice and sharp, accompanied by that traditional Vectrex buzz from (I assume) the high voltage monitor beam.
Mine Storm is built into the system. Overlay is missing.
Just to let you know: Mine has the same buzz, so I guess it can be considered normal.
I seriously love our office.
StoryCorps might become one of my favorite radio shows.
The end is nigh, etc.
I don’t think net neutrality has a chance of survival, as a concept, in the long-term. Even my nerdiest friends have difficulties explaining it to peers, let alone lay persons. It’s at its core a boring, theoretical issue that “just” levels the playing field for everyone.
If you never profited from that level playing field, you won’t understand what it means to lose it. Hell, you probably won’t even understand why you’d need it and how it works.
So the public at large won’t care and is easily influenceable by those with money and power, that have recently proven they have no interest in keeping the status quo that made them into what they are now. And with that, there’s no one left to effectively prevent network discrimination in the future.
It’s a shamefully sad affair in my opinion and I’m glad I don’t have kids that I’d have to give an account of how we fucked this one up so badly.
