My blog will be down for several hours today, as we move it and get me back in business. Ugh, what a mess this has been.
My blog will be in test mode on a new server tomorrow. Assuming all goes well, we'll transfer the DNS, and I'll be back in business. Whew!
I just saw an ad: "1 in 4 women is capable of misreading a pregnancy test." Think about that for a minute.
Michael Jackson. There, I've officially joined the herd.
My newest essay is up: The Processing Web. @jeffjarvis @arrington featured. http://www.thepomoblog.com/papers...
@davewiner - "I decide what's news. I don't delegate that." The mantra of the new media consumer. http://www.scripting.com/stories...
I'm shocked! TV is a more effective ad medium than the Web. I mean comparing banners to spots is idiotic, is it not? http://www.adweek.com/aw...
New newsletter is up: http://www.ar-d.com/secure2...
I'm told my blog will be back up tomorrow. I'll believe it when I see it.
The LATimes silly "what if" commentary about TMZ.com and MJ's death is worth the read for the comments. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/comment...
PDAs have ruined marketing by clever word instead of telephone number. "Dail 123-TEST" is gobbledygook to my Blackberry.
Borrell says that when the deer have guns, we need to be into the ammunition business. YouTube has just done so. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Billy Mays' death reminds me of Alicia's, and my heart goes out to his wife and family.
My fucking WordPress is fucking borked thanks to a fucking hacker who has nothing fucking better to do than fuck with a fucking blogger.
The more expensive the new shirt, the more needles they put in it. One between the 2nd and 3rd button nailed me this morning. WTF? FML
I'm wearing an old "News2" hat. The clerk at Wal-Mart says, "So, did you used to be a news man?" Used to be? I'm so old. FML.
My hacked WordPress blog has been repaired, so I'll be back to posting soon. I feel like I've missed so much (but I'm confident you haven't)
It's a good day. Hugh MacLeod's (@gapingvoid) new book arrived, "Ignore Everybody And 39 Other Keys To Creativity." Can't wait to read it.
Do yourself a favor and watch this video. Chris Anderson on "free." http://www.wired.com/wiredbi...
Got a call from a colleague re: my last essay. He's genuinely worried about chaos at the end of the new media path. Democracy falls, or not!
Barack Obama is a right-brain leader in a world of process-driven, left-brain managers. They reject vision in a demand for the path. Sorry.
My 7-year old PoMo blog has been quiet, because my WordPress app was hacked. Working on it, but I can't post. Nasty virus file installed.
Power just came back, then a few seconds later "KA-BOOM." Oops there goes another transformer, ker-plop!
New essay up: Underestimating the Audience. http://www.thepomoblog.com/papers... @jayrosen @jdlasica featured
When the storm was at its peak last night and power went off, the cell towers were overwhelmed with traffic. Obama's Cyber Czar, take note.
Power's been out for 18 hours. Working in my car. Got air conditioning. Got laptop power. Got air card. In business!
4th day without a computer. In shop for nasty virus removal. Feeling withdrawal symptoms - anxious & abandoned. Damn it. I'm so addicted.
Is the audience really THAT stupid? - http://www.thepomoblog.com/archive...
Just tried to spend $400 online with Sears. Order said delivery on 8th. Acceptable. Press to order and delivery changed to 11th. No sale.
