Reverse graffiti.
Instead of using actual spray cans some artist are just cleaning dirt off of certain areas to make their masterpieces, and they are calling it reverse graffiti. Kind of brilliant.
just saying.. what happens if it gets dirty again

“as we saw in the copyright wars, all attempts at controlling PCs will converge on rootkits; all attempts at controlling the Internet will converge on surveillance and censorship, which is why all this stuff matters. Because we’ve spent the last 10+ years as a body sending our best players out to fight what we thought was the final boss at the end of the game, but it turns out it’s just been the mini-boss at the end of the level, and the stakes are only going to get higher.” — Cory Doctorow’s brilliant talk at the Chaos Communication Congress

“
When .NET was first coming out I was quite excited [, but] Windows Forms, as different as it was from VB6, created apps that looked exactly the same. Kind of sad when you think about it. We learned a whole new programming platform so we could build apps that users couldn’t distinguish from what we’d been doing before.
Windows 8 and Metro are the inverse. We don’t really need to learn any new major platform or tools or languages. From a developer perspective this is exciting, but evolutionary. But from a user perspective everything is changing.

I hate to do this, but I’m really not proud of Australia these days…
Australians all let us reject,
Those who aren’t young and free;
We’ve gotten spoiled and withheld our toil;
Except to guard our sea;
Elect not to share nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
This sad story’s page, is at the stage
Of loosing Australia Fair.
Our wasteful reigns force us to sing,
Please help Australia Fair.
Beneath our heavy Southern Cross
We’ll withdraw our hearts and hands;
To fake this Commonwealth of ours
Took people from their lands;
For those who dare to cross the seas
We’re not prepared to share;
With cowardice we turn our backs
On those who our seek our care.
In mournful pains for not keeping,
Our poor Australia Fair.
I hope I can look back at this and say we moved on and became better…
