Disappeared in America
From Site:
DISAPPEARED is a project by the Visible Collective that uses technology-art, sculpture-installations and lectures to humanize post 9/11 "disappeared" Muslims. The majority of migrants detained in recent security hysteria were from the invisible underclass of cities like New York. They are the recent immigrants who drive our taxis, deliver our food, clean our restaurant tables, and sell fruit, coffee, and newspapers. The only time we "see" them is when we glance at the hack license in the taxi partition, or the ID card around the neck of a vendor.

Wikiproxy has arrived!
WIKIPROXY!
Stef Magdalinskiis coding again, and that is good for all of us. Wikiproxy links capitalized terms in BBC news stories to wikipedia. It also uses the Technorati API to link to people who are talking about the stories. In short it improves one of the best news sites out there, and shows that there is so much yet to be done on the internet!
