POPSDoes Clipmarks Have What It Takes for the New Web? I hope all clipmarkers will watch this video with the intention of us incorporating as many of the ideas into this community. I believe we truly have a unique opportunity to pave the way for a better world & be a paradigm for the Web 2.0 community. One final quote... "While at first glance this book appears aimed at the business sector, the key messages and principles it explores make it a "must read" for anyone in the education sector who has the slightest interest in understanding the environment that our schools are now operating in - and perhaps to understand why for many of our young people they simply aren't working any more!"

POPSDoomsday - The Mayan Prophesy December 21st, 2012. I probably won't be home that day, but I'll catch it later on youtube, I reckon. Jokes aside, they say the Mayan (or Atzec) calender is the most accurate ever made. Their doomsday is not so much about the end of time, but of the beginning or dawn of a new age of enlightenment. I think it's worth a gander. ;) This video explains the Mayan calender pretty well. Part one of three; The Mayan Calender Unveiled

POPSDU: A Hard Rain's Already Falling The use of depleted uranium in weapons worries me to no end. We and all who come after us (and of every species), could end up paying dearly for this mistake forever.

POPSThe Scary Side of Global Warming: Potential Sea Level Rise Greenhouse warming might be more disastrous than the recent international assessment managed to convey, scientists are realizing. But how can they get the word out without seeming alarmist? Scientists are still trying to strike a balance between their habitual caution and growing concern over uncertain but disastrous greenhouse outcomes.

POPSClimate Change Models I could have been convinced, but then it was all ruined by the claim to predict the stock market. Far to much "FAITH" is put into predictive models. AND people make far to many assumptions on the multi-variables acting as inputs.

POPSHousing is falling much faster than reported Even as a little as a few months ago, the deniers were still out in full force, saying that everything was going to be just fine. Now even the NAR is owning up to the trouble they've helped cause, and it's probably a lot worse than they're saying.

POPSA rant against Web 2.0 Andrew Keen argues that we need an elite, without it we are doomed ! Ummm, the calling for an elite, "requiring an authoritative voice",I say, be careful what you wish for. (did not someone try it, leading to WW2) The computer is the instrument of the modern state, it is also the tool for freedom from the dictator.
