The new media conundrum
Utopia and the Interwebs
A very interesting piece by Evgeny Morozov in Foreign Policy called Think Again: The Internet, where he argues that the Internet has not ushered in world peace or done many of the things that it was supposed to. My instinctive reaction to the piece as a self-described Net evangelist is "hell,/… Read full post »

Better Late than Never
More F1 Drama
It's been a while since this scandal erupted, but this has been sitting in a word document for some time, so here goes.
So, shenanigans continue on track and off in the F1 world. There has probably never been a bigger professional foul in motor racing than the… Read full post »
WTF from around the World

Still, sometimes some truly funny gems are lurking… Read full post »
Alcohol solves everything
I think this is the best comment I've come across on the Gates issue:
XKCD FTW!
In other news, Michael Schumacher's shock return to Formula 1 has certainly made that sport exciting again. As a long time fan, I'm thrilled, and am hoping to be able to watch him… Read full post »
Big News Day

With a radical interpretation of some of the technical rule changes in effect this season, unheralded teams like Brawn GP and Toyota have upset the copybook by… Read full post »
This is so funny and strange I had to post about it.
Everyone’s favourite internet search engine is living up to its mantra of ‘Do No Evil’. In a move both weird and wonderful, Google has decided to replace its lawnmowers with an army of… Read full post »
Overdue BSG Meta
I’ve been debating whether or not I should post on the finale of Battlestar Galactica, given that I’ve loved it for so long. But it did break my heart, and it took me some time to stop crying at inopportune moments when reading about the show – and not in a… Read full post »
Inauguration Day
I'm as thrilled as anybody that Obama won the election and was sworn in as President yesterday. It was incredible to see how many people had gathered in Washington D.C, to see the hope and the optimism in the air that this administration would provide a significant break from the previous… Read full post »
Frak Earth
What better way to begin blogging on Open Salon than by celebrating the return of what might well be the last truly good show on tv? As a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica, the new edition, I was extremely excited about its return. And episode 4x13, Sometimes a Great Notion, did… Read full post »
