…City of Men could be something special?

City Of Men

If you liked the movie City of God, then get ready, because the unofficial “sequel” is coming.

Called City of Men (Cidade dos Homens), it’s about two friends who grew up together in Rio de Janeiro. As they face the first difficulties of adulthood, they must deal with fatherhood, marriage, a missing father, a gang war, and the drug trafficking that is all around them. In a run for their lives, they will discover “a truth so terrible it threatens to break up their friendship”.

Like the first one, this one has the potential to become a cinematic masterpiece, so be on the lookout for a limited release in early 2008.

…It’s Website Wednesday: UC Berkeley’s YouTube?

UC Berkeley YouTube

Brush up on your studies with the University of California, Berkeley YouTube page.

Featuring over 300 hours of full-course lectures, it might not give you a degree, but it will give you something to talk about with your pocket protector friends the next time they’re talking about advanced integrative biology. (Which probably happens all the time.)

…You can be too networked?

NOSO

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the constant requirements of the social networking environments, then NOSO is for you. Designed to be a “real-world platform for temporary disengagement”, it lets you create NO Connections by scheduling NO Events with other NO Friends.

The events, which take place at cafes, parks, libraries, bookstores, and other public spaces, bring together participants whose identities remain unknown to one another. They agree to arrive at an assigned time and remain alone, quiet and un-connected. The events last for 1-30 minutes, and then participants disperse and return to their regular activities.

If shutting down your blogging, vlogging, podcasting, Skyping, texting, IMing, dating, trading, buying and selling self sounds like the perfect getaway, then sign up for the next NOSO, and enter the oasis.
