I’m afraid you’ll see many posts from me in the future looking like this. Since I started twittering I just seem to come across even more interesting things than ever before.
What about this kid, who donated his birthday presents to children in the Third World?
Technology:
More about children online. When reading this, please take into account who paid for this survey. Symantec. They want us to worry. But I still think it’s true that our children spend more time online than we’re aware of. The advice in the article is good and precise.
Why you (don’t) need Twitter. It’s funny.
Very Twitteristic: How to ReTweet better. Good idea.
Winners of the Bloggies 2009, announced at SXSW. I love this one. But it makes me hungry…
Watch whom you trust with your online security.
Fantastic Firefox plugin that shows just how far we’ve come on the web. Thank you to Gissisim.
Children’s freedom:
A mother is reported to the police for letting her 10-year old walk to soccer practice. OK, this is in the US, but still?
Feminism:
This would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic. In a recession, equal pay is unthinkable. I wonder what else is unthinkable in a recession?
Politics:
Some Republicans have understood what the majority of Americans were trying to say when they voted for Obama. Others haven’t.
Black women entering the White House in unprecedented numbers.
Don’t get smart with us, Dicky, says Obama press secretary.
EU is rasing the bar on climate change. But not for us. For “the others” (=developing world). Shame on us!
Health:
Best medicine at cheapest price. Conservative Americans claim that this is “European” – i.e. socialist practice. Read the interesting discussion, fuelled by a post in Obama’s stimulus package to fund research in this area.
IQ:
Passing it on. Possibly the brightest kid on the planet right now. I’m glad he’s not mine. Not sure it’s a blessing!
