Tree Hut Exhibit in Madison Square Park

September 25th, 2008 by Jessica C. Wakeman

When walking I am usually in a rush to get some place, most likely to school, back home or to work. It is quite unfortunate because as I am rushing around keeping my eye peeled for the quickest way to duck around other walkers or at the ground so I don’t trip, there are things happening above my eye level. Possibly beautiful views of the cityscape against the setting sun, interesting architecture, funky rooftop decks and sometimes fascinating art in the trees like Tadashi Kawamata’s tree huts in Madison Square Park.

I discovered these tree houses yesterday when walking through the park with my sister. There was not many indicators that such a project was going on except a few 8 ½ by 11 pieces of paper saying what the project was. It was really up to the people themselves to look up and see what was going on. Luckily, I was just taking a stroll with my sister and we were in no hurry, so by chance we noticed the exhibit and checked it out.

Sarah Palin Hacked? Is anyone Truly Safe?

September 18th, 2008 by Candice Johnson

It seems that Sarah Palin just had one more bad day with another incident notched under her belt. 

Several days ago, a group of hackers got a hold of Palin’s Yahoo e-mail account and posted screenshots on a site called WikiLeakS that was immediately shut down after gaining attention. The group known as “Anonymous” , if many are not aware of , proclaimed war on the Church of Scientology earlier this year by prohibiting access to one of its websites.

Here is a video they posted on YouTube.
