I'm Afraid It's Not Just The Web, Louis.- July 10, 2008 Louis Gray has a great but sad post about his experience today watching Corvida and Wayne Sutton discuss the Verizon-Feldman debacle in video chat as a chorus of race baiting idiots piled on with comments the likes of which might make your racist Uncle Bob blush.Technigga-Golddigga Loren Feldman should feel proud tonight. The comments I've seen supporting him on FriendFeed show that he's got a real high-class following for his "comedy" act. Not. The cream of the crop must have shown up for...http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/im-afraid-its-not-just-web-louis.html Beyond White Whine- July 10, 2008 Hank Williams has a great post in which he explores the 2008 definition or racism.Snippet:Today, racisms definition is so circumscribed, that for many it is almost impossible to find a valid use case. For many, it would require calling a black man a nigger or saying, I hate black people, or doing something equivalently overt. Of course, for some, even the use of the word nigger does not warrant the racism label, since black people use it amongst themselves. Its not fair, defenders say, to give..http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/beyond-white-whine.html This One Goes Out to Loren Feldman...- July 9, 2008 I just Love the Guys (FOFs - friends of feldman) who want to paint Verizon's dropping of Loren Feldman as a free speech issue, as though Verizon has somehow ripped Loren's content off of his own site or blocked our access to it. Puhleeease.No, not quite Feldminions. It's a brand affinity issue.You wanted the social media economy, the Arrington economy, with all of its mainstream trappings and mainstream glory and mainstream money Then take your minstrel act to the mainstream grocery store and...http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/this-one-goes-out-to-loren-feldman.html the restless debt- July 3, 2008 thx for the pointer, rb.faith47 yes.vitaFaith 47 loves sounds, colors, dusty small town roads, rebellion, small gestures, big cities, grey areas, electricity wires, complexities, simplicity, forgotten grimy spaces, and possibilities. She loves to paint graffiti, illustrate, design, travel, read, and question things. She really hates the way the world economic system is set up to benefit the few and starve the many, she dislikes battery chicken farms, Hollywood blockbusters and generic fast food.http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/restless-debt.html Sessmic - 1: Meat Lessons Revisited- July 2, 2008http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/sessmic-1-meat-lessons-revisited.html Monsters - Serious Business- July 2, 2008http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/monsters-serious-business.html You Had To Be There Tom Was There- July 2, 2008 Tom Matrullo has an interesting post on the Lake Sarasota Community Blog about a neighborhood conference. The post is in part interesting for the words and pictures that describe the event, because Tom is a wonderful story-teller, and in larger part interests me because it explores the notion that the population not yet embracing social media, or the Internet generally, still might. And it might actually mean something.You "had to be there" at the Tallahassee Conference in part because the...http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/you-had-to-be-there-tom-was-there.html pool summer pool summer pool summer pool summer- July 2, 2008 can i just say that it brings me so much joy to be waterfied and sunifiedin the water i float on my back, waves rocking me, i sing songs to the sky, i pray, i smile, i do weightless jumping jacks i couldn't do on land, i trace clouds with my eyes, amazing grace, i am whole.http://allied.blogspot.com/2008/07/pool-summer-pool-summer-pool-summer.html |
