My interests include music, mostly house music, breaks and jungle/drum'n'bass (Code,GeorgeFm,Biggie), and snowboarding, which i have been doing for around 5 years now.

Geog 103
For this course my essay topic is Surveillance, three usefull websites i have found are:

This website explains some new technology developed that monitors the use of data within companies and helps to prevent data crime.
 * Software watching you while you work
 * 'Computer firm denies spying claim'



Take me Home


 * '1984' - George Orwell

This book shows how surveillance in this society has been taken to the extreme. All the members of it are restricted in their movement and even thoughts due to the nature of the surveillance. The article 'Firms turn to high tech snooping'shows how this type of almost unneccesary surveillance is already taking place, and some of the negative effects it is having.

This film shows how organisations are able to use tracking software and surveillance to monitor people if the are trying to escape them.
 * 'Enemy of the state'
