Ten years ago : 9/11

Today is a 10 year anniversary of 9/11.  Even though I haven’t been directly affected by the terrorist act 10 years ago, there were still indirect consequences for me and pretty much every other human being on this planet.  “War on terror”, military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, economy defaulting, beefed up security checks in each and every airport, more fear in people and more power in governments – the list can go on.

 

Day in brief – 2011-09-10

  • @ektagon good effort, but isn't facebook places about to disappear? #
  • @ektagon Seems you are right. I somehow missed that one. http://t.co/PVWAQyk #
  • Google Translate thinks that a Russian word "весёлый" (funny,cheerful) translates to German as "Homosexuell". I must have missed that class. #
  • @titanas maybe you travel so much that they know and trust you by now :-) #
  • @ektagon Foursquare is still my pick for location services. Facebook has the crowd, but foursquare is doing it right. IMHO. #
  • It's been longer than usual since a pint or two at Ship Inn. I should visit it tonight, before waiters forget my face. :-) #
  • Checking out wine festival, apparently. (@ Limassol Municipality Garden) http://t.co/MvswYMK #
