2007-May-24, Thursday 12:54The odds of
draxar and
dainul not having noticed this already are small, but just in case, warrenellis.com » Blog Archive » TRANSMETROPOLITAN: Monoculture.
Yup, my mates design project just got picked up by
warrenellis, who seems happy to see is. Külness. Well done Mr Pink.
Actually, might as well post these rather than mailing you.
d_notice_fd moved to London just before I did, I'd been reading his blog for ages before that, and he's ended up living around the corner. He writes a lot about SOCPA, and attended the All-day Lone Protest, his Flickr photostream has stuff, and I especially like this placard...
ETA:
snapesbabe links to this petition and has more links and info.

Look out for the bit where China jumps up on the US.
TED | Talks | Hans Rosling: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen (video):
With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called "developing world" using extraordinary animation software developed by his Gapminder Foundation.So very cool. And I think he's right; we have all the data we need, we just can't access it and don't know how to use it.
Look out for the bit where China jumps up on the US.
