SOME RANDOM DUDE

There are an above-average amount of links this week. Not too much more, but definitely more. I am continuing to write for May, so please keep coming back and get those comments ready for the special month of Comment Love. Have a good weekend.

Enjoy the links.

Amazing, a published weekly links on a Friday afternoon. This has got to be a first. I should be publishing a couple cool projects I have been working on in the next few weeks, so make sure to sporadically check in. Also, the days are dwindling for this month’s Comment Love - so if you want to add some more money to the total, drop a comment (or three) in this post.

Enjoy the links.

This may seem off topic, but in a tangential kind of way, I think this video (which was a response from another great video) has a lot to do with some topics I bring up quite often. I speak about the internet and its open, meritocratic system as having the potential for great societal impact on the current young generations. On the fringes, you are starting to see an extremely informed, energetic and hyper-participatory group of young adults starting to show their faces. My personal opinion is that the internet has had a very large influence on this mindset and their ability to grow. The individual in this video glances over this subject is a cursory manner, but I found that portion of his talk extremely telling of the potential for positive change in the near future.

While I find Barack Obama’s speeches intelligent and (dare I say) hopeful, this individual’s video gives me far more hope. This person shows the potential and the will of young generations to bring about mind-boggling changes to this planet. citizen, fringes, generations, mindset, opinion, personal opinion, politics, societal impact, speeches, video young adults

I barely made this week’s links by the skin of my teeth. This upcoming week may see a shortage of posts since my wife and I getting the hell out of dodge for a while. All that being said, I should have some really good content coming up in the next couple weeks.

Enjoy the links.
