Outsourced graffiti
Don’t have time to tag your own walls? Outsource it! Send a Message is an interesting site that allows you to dictate a message to be spray-painted on the Palestinian wall.

The three panelists are each interesting and original thinkers in their own right, with enough convergence/divergence to provide for an interesting discussion, I think. Hope [...]

A psychological report that indicates that self-esteem programs have given us a generation of narcissists is getting a lot of attention in the media. The authors argue that decades of being told that “gosh darnit, people like them” has gone to the heads of today’s college students. Moreover, it seems social technologies encourage narcissism.
