Tapped The Movie

Here’s the trailer of the documentary called Tapped from the producers of  I.O.U.S.A. and Who Killed The Electric Car. It’s about bottled water and how it affects our own personal lives, the government and the environment. It shows us how ignorant we are about the chemicals on our water. They say it’s from the mountain, but is it, really? It’s just from tap. Check it out:

What do you guys think?

R.I.P. Corazon “Cory” Aquino

1987 Woman of the Year

“I would rather die a meaningful death than to live a meaningless life” – Maria Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco Aquino (January 25, 1933-August 1, 2009)

August 1st, 2009, the Philippines’ and the Asia’s first female president died around 3:18 am (PHT (UTC+8)) before dusk at the Makati Medical Center. She was diagnosed with colon cancer early 2008 and died of cardio-respiratory arrest.

Maria Corazon “Cory” Cojuangco Aquino (January 25, 1933 – August 1, 2009) was a President of the Philippines and a world-renowned advocate of democracy, peace, women’s empowerment, and religious piety. She served as the 11th president of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992. She was the first female president of the Philippines and was Asia’s first female president.

A self-proclaimed “plain housewife”,^[3] Aquino was married to Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr. (1932–1983), a leading figure in the political opposition against the autocratic rule of President Ferdinand Marcos. After her husband was assassinated upon his return from exile in theUnited States on August 21, 1983, Aquino, who had no prior political experience, became a focal point and unifying force of the opposition against Marcos. She was drafted to run against Marcos in the 1986 snap presidential elections. After Marcos was proclaimed the winner despite widespread reports of electoral fraud, Aquino was installed as President by the peaceful 1986 People Power Revolution. (Wikipedia)

Here’s a historic speech before the US Congress held last September 18, 1986 just 7 months after she was swept to power by a popular revolt against dictator Ferdinand Marcos.

(You may want to forward to 3:00 for it mostly contains a round of applause from the US Congress)

My deepest condolences to the Philippine’s Mother Of Democracy’s family. -@

Murmur Study

Murmur Study from Christopher Baker on Vimeo.

[Showing at the Weisman Art Museum, Minneapolis, Minnesota now through August 23th, 2009]

Murmur Study is an installation that examines the rise of micro-messaging technologies such as Twitter and Facebook’s status update. One might describe these messages as a kind of digital small talk. But unlike water-cooler conversations, these fleeting thoughts are accumulated, archived and digitally-indexed by corporations. While the future of these archives remains to be seen, the sheer volume of publicly accessible personal — often emotional — expression should give us pause.

This installation consists of 30 thermal printers that continuously monitor Twitter for new messages containing variations on common emotional utterances. Messages containing hundreds of variations on words such as argh, meh, grrrr, oooo, ewww, and hmph, are printed as an endless waterfall of text accumulating in tangled piles below.

Michael Jackson Dies At Age 50

Twitter is flooded with the news about Michael Jackson’s death. Thursday the June 25th, he was pronounced dead at 2:26 pm at the UCLA Medical Center. It was believed that he died from a cardiac arrest. The King of Pop was only 50.

The music icon from Gary, Indiana, was known as the “King of Pop.” Jackson had many No. 1 hits and his “Thriller” is the best-selling album of all time. Jackson was the seventh of nine children from a well-known musical family. He is survived by three children, Prince Michael I, Paris and Prince Michael II. (CNN)

He made famous the moon walk, all those funky dance moves–you know what I’m saying? Uh-huh, and who does not know about Thriller? The list could go on and on and on. He truly was the King of Pop and a music legend. RIP Michael Jackson.

Here’s a video of just one of my all-time favorite songs by Michael Jackson in Jackson 5.

They performed the same song on his 30th anniversary last 2001
