An interesting BBC Video that explores the origins of Islamic Fundamentalism and Neo-conservatism. Well worth the time it takes to watch.
“Both [the Islamists and Neoconservatives] were idealists who were born out of the failure of the liberal dream to build a better world. And both had a very similar explanation for what caused that failure. These two groups have changed the world, but not in the way that either intended. Together, they created today’s nightmare vision of a secret, organized evil that threatens the world. A fantasy that politicians then found restored their power and authority in a disillusioned age. And those with the darkest fears became the most powerful.”
Stumbled across a neat video, explaining what a blog is and what the big deal is about them these days. It’s a really good video, too - it does a really good job of explaining (to the non-technical enthusiast audience) why blogs are so popular (and so important).
I highly recommend giving it a view, and passing it on to people you know as well. Knowledge is power!
This video makes me laugh. If you were and/or are a music geek, you might laugh as well.
I’ve got quite a few videos of Gussy playing his games, but most are too big to put here on my blog. However, with the help of the Windows Media Encoder tool, I was able to compress one video down to a very respectable size - just 131 KB. It’s a video of Gussy playing his favorite “bunny game.” He’s a little camera shy, so he’s not running as fast as he usually is, but you get the idea.
Anyway, click here to download/watch the video!
