Memes. I hate them. They are like the blogosphere’s version of a chain letter, the creeping crud so to speak. Now the concept of memes, from an academic standpoint is quite interesting. A meme is a cultural unit of information that gets transmitted from one person to another. Memes, like viruses propogate themselves. In [...] Just a little heads up. I will no longer be accepting comments from you. It’s not that I don’t appreciate civil discourse. But “civil” is in fact the operative word here. Merriam Webster’s online defines “civil” as synonymous with “polite,” “courteous,” “gallant” and “chivalrous” or “observant of the forms required by good breeding.” You [...] KPBS has just launched the Citizen Voices Blog today. Without me. They had the opportunity to talk about the project, partisanship and politics and the upcoming election on the KPBS These Days program, hosted by Tom Fudge. I must say, it looks like an interesting lineup of political bloggers. And of course in [...] Yeah me! I made it through to Round 2, and the producer has asked for more writing samples. Let me preface the next commentary with saying that 1. I love KPBS and 2. I welcome the opportunity to apply for the Citizen Voices project and 3. I have no idea how I would [...] I just applied for a blogging gig. For KPBS radio/tv. KPBS is recruiting bloggers for an election-based project called Citizen Voices. Six people will be selected to blog as “citizen journalists” for KPBS.org from January 2008 through November 2008. Selected applicants will be trained (beginning Nov. 2007) in journalistic ethics to maintain fair and [...] I felt like I needed to post myself a happy 3rd, but not in the mood to write much. It’s hot tonite, I’m tired, and my eyes are itchy. Maybe tomorrow. SO… I was thinking I would read my Me and Billy Crystal post. But it was an audio post already, so if you really want to hear about Me and Billy Crystal, you can listen here at my blog. Then I got the brilliant idea that I would read a post from one [...] Guy Kawasaki has some great tips on his blog on public speaking, gleaned from a buddy, Doug Lawrence, professional singer, music director, and speech coach. Anyone reading at the LA Bloggers Live event may want to take a gander. Singing and speaking have everything in common—except for maybe really good tunes. The main goal [...] Thursday, June 28. Yes, I know I am not based in L.A. HOWEVER, I do read some L.A. Bloggers like LeahPeah, and CitizenoftheMonth (although I may have to stop reading that one since Neil called me a narcissistic fool) BESIDES, there’s no cool blogging stuff like this happening in San Diego since Joe [...] I’ve not been posting much lately as you may (or may not) have noticed. I spent a few days in New York and since my return, it’s been busy busy at work (where I have been creating blog posts). Oh, and I’m trying to write my book. I need to be done sometime in [...] |
