So, it has been a bit since I've posted some Wednesday videos and all I can say is.....sorry. I've been working on papers, getting together gifts for Christmas, and occasionally playing Labyrinth, so, the posting has gotten away from me a bit. But no worries dear readers- even though it is late on Wednesday, I have video picks to share for education and enjoyment.
The first selection is SNL and their take on Julian Assange. Once again, comedy proves that it might be the only force capable of dealing with topics deemed too sensitive by others in a manner that brings the essential element to light while also rendering the subject non-hostile. Well, that and SNL is just really funny sometimes. (Non-US viewers can see this clip on YouTube here.)
The second video comes from the Open Knowledge Foundation, who recently held the Open Government Data Camp 2010 Conference over 18-19 November. Here is one of the keynotes of that conference by Rufus Pollock, co-founder of the Open Knowledge Foundation.
