#IranElection is trending topic on twitter again. 30 years after the Takeover of the US embassy and hostage taking in Tehran, the green movement hijacked the traditionally govn't sanctioned event. Photos and videos are pouring in from the demonstrations that have been going on. Reza Sayah was on CNN (now on Youtube) -he describes what has been going on. And for a great history of US-Iran relationship going back to the pre-Shah era check out this short youtbube mini-doc.
Important in it's own right, the twitter 'revolution' that #iranelection is a shining example of, is also a great case study for the power of social media in the struggle for media democracy. HelloCoolWorld will be at this Saturday's Media Democracy Day in Vancouver.

Sunday's fantastic concert at the Chan Centre was a sold-out success. Since MC Bill Richardson, Notes of Compassion (AKA musicians of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra reaching out), Maestro Bramwell Tovey, and the duet-ing duo of world renowned pianists Jon Kimura Parker and Ian Parker all performed for free, it is great to know that Health For Humanity will be the beneficiary of all the ticket sales. To find out more about what H4H does check out their website.
