Gay Teen Suicides
It seems every other day my google feed has another story of gay teen who has taken their life, predominantly over bullying from peers. See here: "National LGBT community reeling from 4th teen suicide in a month". I don't believe this is anything new, but I'm grateful that this issue is getting the coverage it needs.
It's so sad. I don't know what else to say really.
Watch Ellen Calls for End to Bullying, Suicide. I cried.
Here's a copy embedded from Youtube:

Inside A Cruise Ship During Rough Seas
This reminds me when I was on the Ferry going from the North to the South Island on my New Zealand holiday a few years ago... I felt so sick and I'd look out the back and see sky-sea-sky-sea-sky-sea... It was horrible.

How do stupid people get power? eg. Jan Brewer & Parody
So, I'll show you the original video for context:
What caught my attention was this guy's parody of her on-air stuff-up:

Political Stuff: Lies around invading Iraq
I'm not a political person, especially American politics, but I found this an interesting watch... the constantly changing lies presented to the public are amazing when they are highlighted this way. Check out this video from Rachel Maddow...

How these guys jump up sides of buildings... you've gotta have complete trust and big balls. Amazing how they can jump and hold on with only their finger tips!
Can you imagine if everyone could just naturally do this? Footpaths, steps and balconies would be optional and nowhere near the ideal way of getting from A to B.
See "My Morning Run" on YouTube.

5 Ways around the filter in 2 minutes
I definitely do not support an internet filter for Australia.
I saw the Family First party the other day spouting how great it was going to be. Lets face it, only ignorant people believe such a filter will achieve anything productive. The representative clearly didn't know what she was talking about in regard to a whole range of topics though but that's not surprising.
So, if anything, this video shows just how ridiculous the filtering efforts are:
See the related article here:
http://openinternet.com.au/2010/08/04/5-ways-around-the-filter-in-2-minutes-video/
I think that if they can legitimately, and that's the key word, find sites that need to be blocked then that should be taken up with the service providers hosting such sites but I'd like to see what the criteria is for such banning.
You can check out the leaked blacklist here -->
http://file.wikileaks.org/file/acma-secret-blacklist-aug-2008.txt You'll see that there are a lot of perfectly legitimate sites being blacklisted here.
I must admit, it's an interesting list and apparently only a portion of those sites proposed.
It's all very very bad.
