Education 2.0: Top Online Learning Resources
2007-08-30 23:51:28 Posted
by: ragaman7 Category: Education
Want an education? Open up a browser. With the information available online, you could probably get a complete education without ever leaving your house.
But for more traditional students, as well as their parents and teachers, it can be tricky to find online information that is safe, relevant and age-appropriate. You don't want your kids to jump knee-deep into DNA sequences if they haven't even reached their third grade Mesozoic-era workshop.

Charlie Brooker, of BBC’s Screenwipe, has a great piece illustrating some of the devious editing techniques used in the creation of reality TV shows. While this isn’t breaking news for editors, it’s still shocking to see how quickly and efficiently the editing room can change the context of a scene. (courtesy of Tropist)

Video Recuts Can Get You Noticed
2007-08-30 23:53:46 Posted
by: ragaman7 Category: Remix Culture
Daniel Geduld, the man responsible for 'The Skeletor Show', a series of video mash-ups using clips from the He-Man cartoon overdubbed with new 'comedic' dialogue and a jazz soundtrack, has become the latest example of head hunted talent in the remix world. He added his email address and the line 'Please give me a job. 'I'm talented.' to the end of each clip...and that's exactly what has happened. Similar stories have come from AMDS films, the creators of the Robocop vs Terminator clips among others and Robert Ryang, the creator of 'Shining' the godfather of video recuts. A lesson to be learned... UPDATE |

Transformers the Movie (2007)
2007-08-30 23:53:58 Posted
by: ragaman7 Category: Movies/TV
I've beeen waiting for this for a long time. It's been worth the wait. I relived my childhood in a cinema screen. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, Megatron...Good times. My childhood heroes have been revamped and updated for the 21st century. ("We learned your languages from the world wide web" - Optimus Prime.) This film will blow you away. Michael Bay has managed to not destroy an ideal of a robotic alien father figure from a planet called Cybertron. This is brilliant. 5/5 UPDATE |

Very interesting the YouTube - CNN debate. Users at the ground level can have their opinions heard in a new way enabled by technology. Candidates get to appear tech savvy while still airing their own agendas. Still, a step in the right direction methinks. UPDATE |
