Public: Don't Mess With My Flight Plans

Sun, 13 Aug 2006 11:58:25 PDT

The reaction was surprisingly cynical...

MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer Does The Right Wing's Job For Them

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 12:35:29 PDT
There really is no excuse for anything posing as a news network to claim that ‘the blogs are buzzing about this one” and promote it so when any cursory search on the internets would have found numerous examples of just how specious a charge it was — like the video shot from the side here.

I am a news junkie and admittedly if I had cable plus the extra TV I would probably have either CNN or CBC Newsworld on the whole time I’m in my room I jokingly call my office. So when I saw Brian Solis’ post about local broadcast news going social I was at first rather skeptical of the the idea; after all everything these days is having the social sticker slapped on its ass like it is going to be the road to instant riches or something. But when I clicked on the LiveNewsComeras.com link (go

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:50:34 PDT
Oil up! Freak out! Dow up? Shut up! The state-run media in Canada (and the citizen-owned media who do their best to compete with them) all lament, daily (with intra-day lament updates, all day long), the price of a barrel of oil, and the resulting price of gas. (Of course they don’t have the foggiest clue what they’re talking about, but they pretend they do.) Even as I was writing this, the state-owned CBC did a story about the latest rise in gas prices. Apparently it’s getting h

Is Dislocating Technology a Change Agent?

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:45:06 PDT
Until recently Hans Lodder thought that dislocating technology was something used in wars. But Gartner uses the term for IT technology that enables a completely different and better approach for business processes.
