Afghanistan in April 2010 in Photos

Boston Big Picture has the best photo journal I have ever come across. It is one of the many reasons I love the internet, technology and photography. At no other time in history, could I sit 5,000 miles away from a place and see such rich representations in such a timely manner – almost instantly nowadays.

They recently published, essentially, the state of Afghanistan in April 2010 in Pictures. Below you will find some of my favorites.

Have I mentioned how much I love Boston Big Picture? The truth is, I saw the name of their latest article and didn’t even see the pictures, but I knew I had to write a post about it. They are always that awesome, that I never pre-screened it and picked the images as I went along. I had to restrain myself from including more from the post, because there are so many awesome ones.

Do yourself a favor, go and check it out, you will thank me later.

Did you know? Globalization and the Information Age

There is a video floating around the interwebs about the current state of our world. I can almost assure you that as you watch it for the first time, you are going to be surprised by at least a few of these statistics (if not many of them).
