Upcoming technology: Sharpen the saw

It does amaze me that with very simple tools one can now post videos in a matter of minutes. The implications of these tools are vast. I am not talking just about the dreaded "macaca" effect but more noble techniques to allow unrestricted access to information. What a contradiction; in "Collapse" Diamond lines up the characteristics that predict the demise of civilization - in the current Bush Americana we match the worse of all forecasts yet we do have this incredible power of reaching large segments of the world and promote positive change.

This freedom on information flow might be the silver lining of our sad state of affairs. Peter Barnes says that we need to be prepared to strike when the opportunity arises, these new technology web 2.0 tools is part of how we strike - when in doubt think "Macaca".

If you do have the patience to read an interesting yet dense article head to "The Nation" and read about the possible emergence of the progressive majority. Who knows, maybe change is around the corner (then we'll have to keep an eye on the democrats). Sharpen the saw is what I say.

Anyway, here goes the test of an interview we recently shot with our friends Trista Patterson and Ken Lindeman. Once we have all the knicks figured out we'll have a nice gallery like the one Arianna Huffinton has on her HUFFTV website
