Eshelman's piece on the overemphasis on Twitter and social networking in coverage of the Egyptian uprising vs. much of the actual work being done by labor unions was particularly thought-provoking. I barely realized the importance of a general strike and a threatened strike by the workers who keep the Suez Canal operational had been essential parts of the revolt. The take-down on the MIT media lab is funny and has some very sharp writing, same goes for the piece on high school mock-Federal Reser...
Worth reading, though sometimes gets too wonky/wanky. Worth reading the hilarious, vitriolic, somewhat unwarranted takedown of MIT's MediaLab.
Great journal. I enjoyed most everything, but particularly the art throughtout, the MIT lab story and the memoirs by Dubravka Ugresic. It think this is going to be one of my favorites if they keep up the quality.
