2008 has been a year of stunning changes, economic chaos and moose hunting governors. To put a fork in it all, Google has put together its yearly snapshot of what was on the world's collective mind. My favorites? The top searched cocktail recipes on the Trendsetters tab (looks like we drank a lot of bad martinis this year in the U.S.) and the "what is" and "who is" lists.
The stuff I find the most fascinating is on the Around the World tab, though. It's a great way to see what's important to people in other countries, or the whole world. YouTube is on just about every country's Most Popular list. No matter where we come from, we all need the occasional laughing baby fix, it seems.
One thing has me stumped: why does Google show up as a top ten search term in so many places? Googling Google? Really? People either really love their toolbar search windows or my grandmother gets around a lot more than I realize. And has access to millions of computers.
Happy New Year, everyone.2008 has been a year of stunning changes, economic chaos and moose hunting governors.... more

Seven years after 9/11, the supposed mastermind behind the attacks is still at large, and the nation is entrenched in multiple wars in the Middle East. Is Bin Laden the evil behind the attack or a mere front man in a larger picture, a Bogeyman? Fabled Enemies is unlike any 9/11documentary ever put together. Rather than focusing on the physical anomalies at the World Trade Center and Pentagon, this film follows the intelligence ties of Osama Bin Laden, the alleged hijackers, and those who were actually detained on 9/11. The movie delves deeply into the roles of seperate Nations that were involved in supporting the 9/11 attacks. From Israel to Saudi Arabia to Pakistan, and even the United States itself, no one is spared in this scathing expose that pulls no punches. Sit back and get ready to learn how members of the FBI had their investigations into Bin Laden obstructed and shut down, how the hijackers were trained at US bases, that military drills crippled our defense and facilitated the attacks, how the Shadow Government was actually activated that day, and much much more.Seven years after 9/11, the supposed mastermind behind the attacks is still at large,... more

The lands that will be opened are in Alaska and 11 western states. It is believed that the geothermal energy in time could provide electricity to 5.5 million homes.
Secretary of the Interior Dick Kempthorne said the following about the plan: “Geothermal energy will play a key role in powering America’s energy future… and 90 percent of our nation’s geothermal resources are found on federal lands.” Much of the land that will be opened is managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service. Places of great geothermal significance and public appeal like Yellowstone National Park will not be utilized.
Lands would be leased under the plan. Revenues from the leases and the profits of the companies that produce geothermal energy would be shared by the companies, the federal government, and the counties and states where the plants are located. The U.S. Congress recently passed tax breaks to entice more companies to invest in the development of geothermal energy sources, as well as other alternative energy possibilities.
While geothermal energy is not as well known (i.e. sexy) to the public as are wind and solar power, it probably deserves more attention as part of the new alternative energy craze. (For instance, if you weren’t aware, both Google and Oregon Tech are notable early adopters). With a plan to open public lands to more geothermal development, you can bet that some people are going to have concerns and want more information– just as they did when the BLM announced earlier this year that it would examine the possibility of large scale development of solar power on some of the lands it manages. For the uninitiated, here’s a brief summary about the basics of geothermal energy.
A Quick Geothermal Energy Primer
The Environment News Service provides the following introduction to geothermal energy:
Geothermal resources range from heat found just under the ground to hot water and rock miles below the Earth’s surface. Wells over a mile deep can be drilled into underground reservoirs to tap steam and very hot water that can be brought to the surface to generate electricity.
There are environmental concerns around geothermal energy. Dry steam and flash steam power plants emit low levels of carbon dioxide, nitric oxide, and sulphur, although at roughly five percent of the levels emitted by fossil fuel power plants.
To resolve these concerns, geothermal plants can be built with systems that can inject these substances back into the Earth, reducing carbon emissions to less than 0.1 percent of those from fossil fuel power plants.
Hot water from geothermal sources will contain trace amounts of toxics such as mercury and arsenic, which if discharged into rivers can make the water unsafe to drink.
To protect special resource values, the plan announced today identifies a comprehensive list of stipulations, conditions of approval and best management practices required for approval of future geothermal leases.
You can also read Wikipedia’s informative entry on the subject. Some of the advantages it mentions to geothermal energy include the small amount of greenhouse emissions it makes during production and use, its ability to be obtained without use of other kinds of fuel, and its ability to be harvested 24 hours a day regardless of weather conditions.

The feature-length documentary Zeitgeist was released for free on the Web in 2007. It served as a mesmerizing critique of western society, attacking the military industrial complex and the myths used to maintain the established order.
Its creator, Peter Joseph, has recently released a sequel, Zeitgeist: Addendum, also available on-line, which draws from libertarian, environmental, and New Age ideas in its analysis of the world's present political, economic, and environmental challenges.
The documentary starts by focusing on the monetary system, detailing how it employs debt as an instrument of control and the fundamental role this system plays in corporate globalization.
Addendum then proposes that the development of progressive technologies is the mostly likely way to create a successful alternative to the scarcity created by the monetary system.
In conclusion, Addendum stresses the need for belief systems to embrace the ideas of emergence and interdependence and outlines concrete steps that can be taken to weaken the monetary system.
Addendum is not without flaws. It spends a lot of time treading the same ground as documentaries like The Money Masters and Money as Debt and spends too much time on specific technical solutions. Despite that, it's an inspiring documentary and well worth the time for anyone interested in fresh perspectives on how to achieve progressive change.

"Zeitgeist was created in the hope that it will inspire people to start looking at the world from a more critical perspective, and to relay the understanding that very often things are not what the population at large think they are. The true understanding of events, both historical and modern, are crucial to the development, awareness and spirituality of the human condition."
