Sometimes it's good to get framed
| | Craig Burton goes into the Myth of the Specification and other matters in his Dynamic Protocol Framework Update. That may be eye-glaze for most of us, but it matters. |
Weinberger's Paradox: the freer it is, the more value it contains
| | The good doctor didn't actually say that. It's my glib paraphrasation of Value Free Net, one of his essays in the latest JOHO. Working here among the Long Beards he thanks for the Net, the piece rings true as a Steuben glass. In fact, I want to run it in Linux Journal. Or find some other way to point to it from the Long Beard space. |
| | As for the paradox, I defer to what a brilliant priest once told me: if you can't say it in a paradox, it's probably not true. |
He's an archic kinda guy
Living ends
| | Been getting some fine responses to yesterday's appeal for "media relations" stories. One of the best is comes from the Head Lemur: |
| | 'media relations' need to be outlawed in every country in the world. in the best case, media relations are incestous relationships between dimwitted first cousins, on the web it is one of the worst examples of inbreeding by the unholy on the web it is one of the worst examples of inbreeding by the unholy alliance of ad agencies and pixel mechanics of dubious talent. |
| | My theory is that if you want to be a flack and sing the praises and get anybody to listen you need to start in the bottom of the company and after working with every unit in a company for at least 6 months, your output needs to be signed off by the units before one single word gets published. |
| | Oh yes I am a crazy bastard. here is how i got here. |
| | Not speaking of which, it's hard not to be distracted by the Living Colours blog, which is two links off the Lemur's front page. Touching doesn't cover it. |
Swallow tales
So, what was the problem?
| | It's beautiful here in Seattle. Before I left for the plane a friend from up here called to say the weather was terrible. But no. It's perfect. Especially after lunch at Burks. |
| | Here in Linux Journal headquarters, a radio quietly plays KEXP (formerly KCMU) in the background. Amazing stuff. Nice streaming audio, too. |
It's 4:19am. Here's what's nu.
| | One check of the email before I head for the airport, and at the bottom (or the top, depending) of the LIFO buffer that is my IN box comes an email from Lance Knobel pointing to NUblog, and in particular the author's experience with Apple and Edelman PR, the gist of which I first learned from Deborah Branscum at buzz.weblogs.com. But my acquaintence was incomplete. NUblog, I just discovered, is an amazing blog. I wish I had more time to go into it, but I gotta go and its much more linky for you to do it yourself. |
| | One aside: perhaps because I work with and for hard copy publications, both Edelman PR and Apple have been very helpful and cooperative as I try to figure out what's up with OS X. Still, the journal both should be reading, and weighing its real influence, is NUblog. In the world of pixels, we deliver nothing but influence everything. Authority, the power to author the knowledge and opinions of others, is what we grow here. Best to water it well. |
