Logo fail

This logo for the Archdiocesan Youth Commission was created in the early 70's and has been doing the rounds on the internet just recently. Truth is, it's not the logo that failed. It's the organization that failed and because in 2009 we have all heard the story of sex abuse in the Catholic Church, it is impossible to look at this image without that story coming to mind. This is the great power of stories. They shape your perceptions.

ITP Spring Show

Any Geek/Gay worth their salt should be at the ITP spring show. Lots of young things with gorgeous gadgets. Some big, some small. Some things to look out for:
Time in six parts
CW Wang: with our friend (of Fagadget, not of Dorothy) Kevin Slavin at Area\Code
Water Canary
Cheap water testing for Africa (since I do work with WaterAid I felt I had to love this one). Also seems to have had something to do with our other friend Clay Shirky of #amazonfail fame. - Again Geek, not Gay.
Nexus
not quite sure what it does but it is another project for Unicef. I'm going to have to recruit some of these young things to work with me at the African Institute of Strategy.
