Homemade 3D
3D art is 2-dimensional artwork drawn on the street, wall, paper or somewhere else that gives you a 3-dimensional optical illusion from a certain perspective. This type of art is gaining much popularity these days, because it can be very realistic and breathtaking. It is not a surprise to see 3D art somewhere on the street, but have your ever seen 3d made on the paper at home?
Incredible!
Demand a more open-source government: Beth Noveck at TEDGlobal 2012
As the US's first Deputy CTO, Beth Noveck founded the White House Open Government Initiative, which developed administration policy on transparency, participation and collaboration. She starts her talk by reminding us that in the old days, the White House was literally an open house. At the beginning of the 19th century, John Quincy Adams met a local dentist who happened in to shake his hand.
Valid for any country.

Something does not add up in current Canadian politics…
Tom Flanagan and Stephen Harper once wrote:
“In today’s democratic societies, organizations share power. Corporations, churches, universities, hospitals, even public sector bureaucracies make decisions through consultation, committees, and consensus-building techniques. Only in politics do we still entrust power to a single faction expected to prevail every time over the opposition by sheer force of numbers. Even more anachronistically, we persist in structuring the governing team like a military regiment under a single commander with almost total power to appoint, discipline, and expel subordinates.”
But now we’re living through this?
I think something doesn’t quite add up here, do you?
