A documentary about Occupy Sandy was screened at a secret location in NYC last night; it made the connection between Sandy and climate change. People wanting to see the movie were directed to a building whose wall was used as a screen for the premiere.
Now, in what may be the quickest turnaround for a movie in recent memory, the group, Occupy Sandy, will show a documentary Wednesday about its efforts and the contention that the storm was tied to climate change and the fossil fuel industry. In classic Occupy fashion, the screening will not be in a traditional theater, but rather on the side of a yet-to-be-disclosed building in the East Village.
The screening of the film, "Occupy Sandy: A Human Response to the New Realities of Climate Change" (see trailer above or click here), will be at 6:30 p.m.

Smart technology isn't always about leashing all of our household devices to our every whim. Sometimes, it's just about protecting us from ourselves. We've all left the house in the heat of summer for an afternoon or even for a weekend getaway, only to return and discover we left the air conditioner on. Not smart. […]
Okay, look…we're gonna let you in on a little secret here. You can't really read someone else's mind. Unless you know something the rest of the human race doesn't, you can't actually go inside someone's head, rummage around in it like the kitchen junk drawer and extract deep, dark secrets.
