Excuse to try a new photo plug-in for WP:
First photo: the Chrysler building as seen from my living room window.
Second photo: same thing on a foggy day… Building gone! (no Image Editing here).
Third photo: the Empire State Building, from the living room, decorated with “Spanish flags colors”

Is this what the parks of the future will look like?

It will be, if we do not do something about it now.
Last Saturday I went to the ArtHack Exhibit closing party at 319 Scholes St, Brooklyn (New York).
Located in an industrial complex in Brooklyn, at night, loooong two blocks from the subway, graffiti all over, small door… that gave way to heaven: young (I was the oldest hacker in that space, but I did not feel that way) energetic happy people tinkering with technology and proudly showing their “toys” (hacks, mashups, creations, or whatever).
I just installed RePress: This plug-in enables you to magically uncensor any website on the internet from your own WordPress installation. Why and How.
Antony and the Johnsons performed last Thursday 26th, at the Radio City Music Hall SWANLIGHTS, a one-night-only performance commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), NY, the most amazing concert I have ever been to.
One would think that the fact that the performance took place in the world`s largest (and one of the most reputed) theater/music venue, or that the place was chock-full of celebrities (I had Björk right next to me in the line to pick up the reserved tickets), would add to the glamour and grandiose of the event.
The net was all up in arms this week. After the marvelous uprising against SOPA and PIPA, the new battle ground was Twitter`s announcement of country specific censorship. Never mind that they are open about it (unlike Facebook), never mind that they are talking about their offices and employees in those countries where censorship is the law… if you hear “censorship” and “net” get up and scream! Wired has a nice piece about it.
