January 14th, 2010Salvo's ThoughtsFrom everything I read online and hear on the radio, supplies of food, water, and basic shelter are in dire need for rescue operations in Haiti. With the extreme interconnectedness of communications online today, I feel that there’s a duty to use the internet not only to stay informed but to play a contributing part where possible.
Google has established an excellent set of resources and liked to it right off their home page.

January 11th, 2010ArticlesFor the past few weeks, the news has been filled with stories about airport security. Here in the US, we’re accustomed to metal detectors and x-ray machines by now. Now full body scanners may be next. As scanning measures go high-tech here at home, the world’s most security-intensive culture might prove that low-tech is more effective.
At Israel’s Ben Gurion airport, security screening is something of an art. Today CNN.com runs a front-page profile about flying out of Israel–which includes one-on-one interviews with trained security professionals.
