Hong Kong Apartment with Space Invaders Bathroom by OneByNine:

Polish interior design and architecture studio OneByNine recently completed the interior design of an apartment in Hong Kong. It is very well designed with classic mid-century modern furnishings and functional walls of storage to maximize the small space. However, the bathroom is one that you’ve just gotta see…

I love this space – the perfect amount of outdoor entertaining space in a big city.

 

If you like video games (and clearly, the owner of this apartment does!) then you will love this bathroom. Using mosaic tiles, the designers re-created a classic game of Space Invaders on the wall, complete with explosions and alerts like ERROR!

"Complaining Is Stupid. Either Act or Forget." [Quotables]:

This quotation comes from graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister and is a good reminder that sometimes we need to stop being angry, shut up, and actually do something. More »

I love the mind of this thing's creator.

CISPA—time to kill this sucker

CISPA—time to kill this sucker:


Zak from Fight for the Future/Privacy is Awesome sez,:

It's only days before the Senate votes on its version of CISPA, and the SECURE IT Act. The bill would open all your data up to the government, no matter how personal. Good bye privacy, hello police state. Since the vote is soon, anything we do at this point has a big impact, so if you care about your privacy, stand with us and take these actions:
The first thing you can do is change your Facebook cover photo to show your friends the creepy records government will be keeping on us if CISPA passes.
There's another thing you can do to send your message even stronger. Visit a Senator's office and deliver this explanation of how CISPA and SECURE IT would trample our privacy, or mail it in if you can't visit in person. Tons of people will be doing this. It's the best way we can educate our senators; a disturbing number of them don't really understand what they're about to vote on.

Internet governance shifting from civil society to government, and getting less free

Internet governance shifting from civil society to government, and getting less free:
James from the New America Foundation sez, "I wanted to share this blog post on why civil society voice is essential in Internet governance and some efforts shift control to government-only entities:"

While Indian courts are attempting to control content domestically, a simultaneous effort from India’s national government is focused on increasing governmental control of the global Internet. Last October, India submitted a proposal to the United Nations for the creation of a UN Committee for Internet-related policies (CIRP). CIRP would be a government-only body tasked with overseeing Internet governance and standards setting.
This would alter the current landscape of international Internet governance, which is a multi-stakeholder process including civil society as well as government actors. The US-based public policy organization Center for Democracy and Technology describes the current model as "bottom-up, decentralized, consensus-driven approach in which governments, industry, engineers, and civil society" contribute to policy outcomes. The distribution of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and top level domains, for example, is managed by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a non-profit organization. Organizations like Internet Engineering Task Force and the World Wide Web Consortium work together with engineers to develop standards.

Giving Civil Society a Voice in Internet Governance

(Thanks, James!)
