Without civil liberties, government is just a criminal racket by Stilgherrian The secret to great work is great play – so that would mean it’s no-longer work, right?
I love urban photography almost as much as I love nature photography. Here’s some shots from various Flickr photographers I follow: Sydney Industrial – clearly it doesn’t have to be about skyscrapers. By Mugley Manhattan – so strange without the twins but now balanced with buildings in scale. By paulobar Shinagawa Hilton Tokyo – a [...]

I had quite a stressful day at work yesterday and sometimes the best thing to do when that happens is watch a few videos to help pull me back to the big picture rather than the single moment I’m currently in. Observing humanity is one way to do that. A few years ago I worked [...]
Here’s the 2008 list of what countries have given in AID to the World Food Programme. What is amazing is that Iran isn’t on the list. Iran had an earthquake in 1962 which was one of the founding reasons behind the establishment of the WFP. Iran is making mega bucks out of oil at the [...]

More Moore… “A couple of weeks ago, out here on Broadway, a guy comes up to me and says, ‘I’m a Navy surgeon. And I was on a ship off Iraq the night you made your speech at the Oscars and I was very angry at you. I remember yelling with the others at the [...]
