Media And Terror Attacks (New Media)

Just recently, ISIS claimed responsibility for the recent bombings of churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, without providing direct evidence that ISIS members carried out the attacks. In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, the Sri Lankan government took an interesting action while details were still being sorted out. They shut down many internet services, under the stated purpose of  preventing the spread of false details about the attacks. This received praise from other countries, while many Sri Lankans had to rely on the few unblocked government channels to find out the status of friends, family, etc. This leads to an interesting ethical dilemma.

On one hand, baseless speculation by third parties would be prevented from reaching people and giving a false impression of the actual situation. On the other hand, the blocking of communication between those worried for th

Poem For and Inspired by Emily

            I wrote this poem at my friends wake in around 15 minutes. I think it is pretty good for having been written in such a short period of time, and I thought it decent enough to post.                    Emily Quiet, silent still of night. Lying there in the light. Thursday morning, coming soon, world wakes up to the gloom. One will not, I'm sad to say, live to see the coming day.

Rest in peace, a shooting star, to remind us who we are. That what we say and what we do, everything that pulls us through, was all inspired by you

Getting a Good Start

Getting a Good Start When writing a short story, the hardest part is usually starting off. Many authors do well once they put the pen to the paper, but getting started can be hard. A good example of this in one of my works in progress, Colony Patrol. When I started writing this, I set it on a fictional location so I didn't have to worry about having to research to accurately portray a place. I decided to set it on Vestus 7, a planet in deep space, and have it take place at one of the colonies there. It follows Sergeant Allen Hayes, a member of Colony Security colloquial known as C-Sec, assigned to patrol and enforcement at Habitat 6, one of several urban areas in the original colony, Foundation. It follows him as he and a senior officer respond to a riot nearby Clara Barton Hospital. When they get there, they discover that the riots are actually caused by a virus that was being transported on the cargo freighter Arcos , that crashed just outside of Habitat 6. It will follow
