Meanwhile, in another racist country...a man...
Do you think they would go out with this reward and surveillance shot if the man had been a white man? Do you think?
-Really?
Yes, it’s funny that a bald man steals Rogaine. Or is it? Who else is likely to do that? ;)
NBCNewYork.com: Police are looking for two men, one of whom is bald, caught on surveillance cameras stealing Rogaine from a CVS Pharmacy on Long Island.

“No one built this country on their own. This nation is great because we built it together. This nation is great because we worked as a team. This nation is great because we get each other’s backs. And if we hold fast to that truth, in this moment of trial, there is no challenge too great; no mission too hard. As long as we are joined in common purpose, as long as we maintain our common resolve,...

Truck driver, sheep farmer speak out as citizens...
Yup, that’s the way we roll…
Do you think Sweden is all about blondes, meatballs and snow? Think again.
Since December, the Nordic country has been promoting itself on Twitter by handing over the official @Sweden account to an average citizen every week.

Google+ Is Going To Mess Up The Internet →
Finally some real insights about the essence and “soul” or loss of soul in G+.
“I hate Google+. Can’t stand it. It is agonizing to use. The stream is so noisy, it won’t even bother me when the inevitable Google ads arrive. Culturally, it feels like walking into a religious school. It swarms with disciples of the + waiting for the messianic downfall of the Evil...

Holidays are coming up, but how often does that...
Want some vacation? How many days do you get? Any?
It’s popular to compare between countries and, but not articulated, between systems - how much paid vacation are you given? Pst, don’t forget sick-days…

Maybe the tweeters discussing #ajour in Sweden can find some interesting connections here…
futurejournalismproject:
Over 40 states have shield laws that protect journalists from revealing information about the sources used during their reporting.
This is all well and good until you get into the tricky business of actually defining who a journalist is. Someone reporting for CNN? No...

C'mon Sweden! Open data in the service of the...
A recommendation, NYC is now open in a broader sense, now on Tumblr. And as they proclaim:
As part of Mayor Bloomberg’s commitment to transparency and innovation, over 800 (and counting!) City datasets are now online for anyone in New York or around the world to explore and access via an API, for deeper, real-time integration into apps and websites.

Hesa Fredrik - First Nationwide Test of the... →
We have a similar system, previously known as Hesa Fredrik (a big signal horn in every town and city). Now, the public varning system consists of VMA (Viktigt meddelande till allmänheten) IPA and other systems. Once a month there is a outdoor test of the imortant public announcement system, on the first Monday at 3 PM I think.
So if you are in the process of invading Sweden, do it at...
