On the celebratory event of the 1000th post to the lovehatethings.com blog and podcast emporium, I delve into an esoteric ramble about the possibility of us all being puppets and the slow road to bloody revolution.
Oh, and a light-hearted look at my top picks of CES. (How 'bout NO!)
The bold stance of Julian Assange will not be denied by the world or lovehatethings. I jump into the ring for round two on Wikileaks.

Just found this amazing short film, with no dialog, little to no music, and no human characters. Within five minutes the filmmaker relays a frightening vision of the European Colonization of Africa using grass, logs, and insects.
Brilliant!

A very fine take on politics, ambition, and power. Reminds me of a Churchill quote: “Their insatiable lust for power is only equaled by their incurable impotence in exercising it.” An enjoyable three minutes of your day, made better by some public domain classical music.
If you can give up one syndicated sit-com tonight and devote 18 commercial-free minutes to an empassioned Lawrence Lessig speaking on the ethics and left/right politics of "openness" as it relates to creativity.
That it is another fine example of a TED talk goes without saying, but it's nice to see the fervor that Lessig devoted to copyright alone has started to transcend other realms as well.
Be thankful for the localized TEDx talks around the world, because, quite frankly, the original TED conference itself, with it's auditorium of millionaires, doesn't seem too open to me.
