David: panoptICONS Utrecht 2010 Video

I thought this was a very very interesting video and project done by panoptICONS. In this video they address the fact that you are constantly being watched by surveillance cameras in city centers. The surveillance camera seems to have become a real pest that feeds on our privacy. To represent this, camera birds (city birds with cameras instead of heads) were placed throughout the city center of Utrecht, where they feed on our presence. In addition, a camera bird in captivity was displayed to show the feeding process and to make the everyday breach of our privacy more personal and tangible. Check it out below!

David: Netherlands vs. Spain (World Cup Final)

Netherlands

Today is the day the Netherlands go head to head with Spain to decide who is the best soccer team in the world. It's going to be an interesting match up today and honestly even though I'm rooting for Spain I'm predicting it'll be a close game. The Dutch flew through their Group E stage defeating Denmark, Japan and Cameroon before taking down Slovakia in the round of 16, Brazil in the quarterfinals and Uruguay in the semifinals to reach the 2010 World Cup finals.

Spain

The Euro 2008 champions have not made an amazing run to the finals but still managed to get the job done by winning the Group H bracket in soccer betting lines over Chile, Switzerland and Honduras and then sent home Portugal in the round of 16, Paraguay in the quarterfinals and Germany in the semifinals.

So who do you have winning the World Cup? Netherlands or Spain?

David Update: Spain 1 - Netherlands 0
