"M*A*S*H" O.R. (1974)

Hawkeye: "I just don't know why they're shooting at us. All we want to do is bring them democracy and white bread, transplant the American Dream: freedom, achievement, hyperacidity, affluence, flatulence, technology, tension, the inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back. That's entertainment!"

Once again, the Sage of Santa Barbara hits the nail on the head:

Newspapers 2.0

 As Tim Rutten reports (and I pointed to yesterday), the LA Times has a monetary value of $2.5 billion and "a balance-sheet-engorging 20% margin". So why does Wall Street hate it?

 Simple: Because newspapers are a rusty industry. They have tail fins. They print lists of readers every day on the obituary page. Worse, as a class they are resolutely clueless about how to adapt to a world that is increasingly networked and self-informing. And Wall Street knows that.

 So, to help the papers out (as I did for public radio on Tuesday), I immodestly offer ten hopefully helpful clues.

Make sure you check out his radio suggestions in that last link there.

And while you're at it, go listen to WPKN/M and contribute to their Fall Fundraising campaign. This is what community radio is all about!

Top posting is an awkward way to write Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Posting to this blog (as infrequently as I do it) still seems a bit unnatural. Instead of starting at the top and writing down, it's as if once you finish a thought, you start a new entry back at the top again. That's weird.

Of course, it's not a problem if you only make one post a day--or less.

I'd really like to start blogging more. It's just that all that copying and pasting and swapping back and forth from my browser is a bit awkward. I've tried Flock, but I don't like the way it formats what I tell it to post.

 Now I have to run off and grab the URL for Flock and come back here and paste it back in...

Another hurdle is the whole attribution thing. Most of which I'd like to blog about is driven by what floats past on my newsriver aggregator.

 another copy and paste detour

Actually, I've found that for all its warts, I still like Les Orchard's 0xDECAFBAD newsRiver.

 more link copying and pasting...

When I find something interesting, I'd love to be able to blast it right here. With a nice "via: " link and a brief excerpt and an optional comment of my own.

For the short term, I've taken to just sticking things up on del.icio.us and using it as a kind of "link blog."

most of us don't think in either the linear or hierarchical ways that outlines work on paper. Instead, we think in the ways outlines work on computers. We go from topic to topic, adding or dropping something here and there. We expand and collapse topics and subtopics as they move in and out of our immediate attention. A good outliner lets us keep track of all that, organize and re-organize it, with simple keyboard commands.

Anybody going to be in New Haven Saturday, June 24...? Permanent link to this item in the archive.
