This Week In Miscellanea: “Taking The World By Storm”

Posted on 30 May 2008 by rustedangel

Homeless Online

FIRST: Homeless Nation

An initiative begun by documentary film maker Daniel Cross, HN seeks to enfranchise homeless Canadians by providing them with access to a virtual community and supporting them with online advocacy. Some of the site’s features are pretty chilling, but they do seem to work. 

SECOND: In The NewsThe Japanese Love Pussy

al-Qaeda is apparently on the run.

The Japanese like cats.

The BBC has wisely chosen Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett to create their mascots for the Beijing Olympics.

…and is the convergence of gaming and social networking the new definition of web 2.0?

THIRD: Heavy Metal of two different types

Military (SARCOS exo),

and Musical (Kataklysm - “Taking the World by Storm”).

    Sterling post, sir. An excellent mix; a veritable smorgasbord, a feast for the senses and all that. Jap cats and that heavy the metal, and not one thing about uncontacted savages in the old triple canopy!

    Japanese cat appointed as station master:

    “She never complains, even though passengers touch her all over the place.”

    . . . er, just where do people touch this cat?
