DOW Gone Wild
Maybe the future Rise of The Machines will be a SKYNET that runs financial markets? It seems computer trading fed the huge market gyrations yesterday.

Teen Cell Phone Use (Infographic)
Over 33% of teens use their mobile phone to send over 100 text messages per day!
Ever since I discovered Edward Tufte a few years ago I've been really interested in infographics. So, submit your comments. I'd like your thoughts about the clarity and power of the graphic primarily, but feel free to comment on the content too.

Tufte Would Be Proud
In a terse disavowal that would make Edward Tufte (an infographic master and vocal critic of Power Point ... the guy who laid the 2003 Space Shuttle explosion firmly at the feet of the dumbing effect of PP) proud, a prominent American general speaks out against Power Point, Microsoft's ubiquitous presentation software.

Apparently the general is not alone. Many other military officers are quoted in this Times article.

Semiotics of Social Media
The New Panopticon functions severally to allow the viewing of, the desemination of information about, and to define the meaning of YOU.
As Foucault and the famous photographer Diane Arbus (and to some extent her progenitor Weegee) noted, there is inevitably a gap or disconnect between what we believe we show the world, and what others believe they see when they look at us in all the ways we now have to fix our gaze upon the world.
