| ASCII of Mass Destruction
Operation Iraqi Freedom didn't find any weapons
of mass destruction, but it did distribute enough
old weapons research documents to arouse objections
from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
In this tribute to the hypocrisy, see how Iraqi
representational conventions borrowed from the
typographical arts of the American Standard Code
for Information Interchange.

Aquanode 2006
one of a series of 21st-century Earth Art projects from Transnational Temps was realized in August, 2006, on the coast of western Turkey. Aquanode used the sunken city of Myndos as a context to explore public attitudes towards the environment. Voice recordings were sealed into buoyant earth globes and released into the Aegean sea in the style of a (digital) message in a bottle.

Some of you may recall that during this year
I sent mail in support of Net Neutrality.
Geov Parrish in his annual column listed
"Massive Grass Roots Win on Net Neutrality" as
one of the year's most underreported stories.
This seems like premature celebration to me,
but it's true that the Democrats now have an
opportunity to avoid major changes to
Internet bandwidth economics.
