LINKS to other sites that I have found interesting lately:

Organizations:
http://alternet.org/ -- It’s always nice to hear news that wasn’t sent as a government or corporate press release first!
http://www.prwatch.org/ -- The Center for Media and Democracy will tell you who wrote and sent the press release and more importantly, why! It’s the Matrix’s Red Pill of Media. Read it regularly and you’ll never look at news the same way again. Nor should you. You can’t consider yourself an informed citizen without knowing where your information feeds really come from.
http://www.edge.org/ -- John Brockman’s site for his stable of rock-star academics and their writings
www.hplusart.org – My buddy Russell Rukin’s site, devoted to creatives interested in the H+ future
http://www.transhumanism.org/ -- The site of the World Transhumanist Association. You may not agree with them. But you should at least listen to what they have to say. It may be your future.
