Subtopia

Today I stumbled upon Subtopia, another one of those pop architecture blogs. Normal fare, akin to BLDGBLOG, but clicking through the archives, I found periodic posts on military technologies, systems of control and surveillance, urban architectures, and other assorted paranoia. Most of these developments are not news to me, but it is nice to see them periodically compiled somewhere. Here are some things I discovered:

RFID chips in passports

Red Cross fearmongering billboards

Talking CCTV cameras in England (very creepy)

Pentagon spying on social networking sites such as Myspace and Friendster

Total Information Awareness program lives on

The most recent military post on Subtopia details BAE Systems' press release on the completion of HAARP. It is linked to an article on Wired, as well as the original announcement. Great work.
