Downloading workshop - This Saturday 6th March @ 12.30

I'm going to be running a BitTorrent & Downloading workshop @ the london freeschool 195 Mare Street - more details http://londonfreeschool.wordpress.com/downloading-workshop/

Blurb:
Downloading files from the internet can be very rewarding but it can also be very dangerous. This workshop will show you the very best ways to get the things you want online – without the risk. We will explore the popular filesharing network bittorrent and also look into the old school method of newsgroups. We will also look into media players, cracking, virtual DVD drives and anything else you want. The demonstration will be on a PC but with guidance points for the Mac. Please bring your laptop along but if you aren't able to – everyone will receive a fact-email at the end.

Please come along & bring your laptop - if you can't I'll be emailing a worksheet to everyone at the end anyway - please forward this to anyone you think might be interested, ta

Work Is A Four Letter Word - A workshop by the vacuum cleaner

Creating a better world can seem like a lot of work, but its often the small things that create the biggest change. Join artist activist the vacuum cleaner for a 6 hour session investigating how we can study our everyday environments, find where the cracks for intervention are, and how to best exploit them.

Throughout the session we will work hands on to produce a short, sharp, shocking intervention of our own. And to disprove that "there is no suchthing as a free meal" a slap up vegan feast is on us.

2pm - 8pm - Thursday 25th March
Stanley Picker Gallery
Open to All
Places limited to 16
FREE but booking essential (on a first come first served basis)

The Slave

From the wave to the Slave. Social change not climate change, or lifestyle change either. We're off to get our hair cut.

2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada

Saturday is the opening day of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada. That‚s right, it‚s time for the Oil-ympics, and you can participate!

All you need to bring is Œsports clothing‚ (winter if possible) and a
sense of mischief and fun. Attendees will be divided into three oily teams: ŒBP‚, ŒShell‚ and ŒRBS', all ready to ŒRace to the Tar Sands‚

Ever tried curling? Come along and and help sweep out BP, Shell, and RBS as they all race headlong into the Tar Sands.

There is currently a global „race to the tar sands‰ and the main competitors Shell, RBS and BP are all racing ahead to extract unconventional oil from the Canadian Tar Sands, regardless of the environmental and social costs of extraction and opposition from local communities affected by the extraction.The Canadian Tar Sands in Alberta is one of the single biggest industrial projects on earth, the environmental and social nightmare that is the Tar Sands ˆ is currently producing the dirtiest oil on the planet.

Although the oil is being extracted in Canada, there are direct links to the UK. Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC and Barclays are all invested in the tar sands. Britain‚s very own BP are about to reverse their decision to stay away from the destructive project, making ŒBeyond Petroleum‚ nothing more than a Broken Promise.

This action is in solidarity with Canadian First Nations groups whose lands and communities are being devastated in the name of corporate profit, and who have called for a moratorium on the tar sands.
