Two things from BBC news today:
First is the wikimedia 24-hour blackout in protest to proposed US piracy laws. We definitely have a problem with piracy, but the way the laws are written here is inappropriate. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16590585 Let's do something about this before it's passed and becomes a huge problem.
Second, an article about an 11 year old named Tavi Gevinson who started a blog called "Style Rookie" which gained a large number of followers and recognition. Now at age 15, she has launched her new online blog/magazine called Rookie at rookiemag.com, geared towards teenage girls. Editor and chief at 15, managing 4 editors and 40 writers, I think this girl was meant to make it big. I may not be overwhelmingly interested in fashion, but I respect her drive and initiative. Is it ok to have a role model 9 years my junior? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16588790
Finally, I'm currently working on an article for the next AJET CONNECT e-magazine which should be out by mid February. I'll be sure to post the link here once it's published.
Interesting stuff about the young blogger. On another note, you should write about that the megaupload.com arrests and being shut down.
