    Interesting, very interesting. How come the things that seem most convenient to us also harbor the potential to be the most damaging?

  2. What does a reality TV fan do on those rare occasions when nothing reality-related is on? Soon you won't have to worry [there are] plans to create an all-reality TV cable channel, Reality Central.
    
    Well this was bound to happen. But how will this be any different than Fox? The even have a website up already.

  1. Democracy works only when people work
    
    (African American News)
  2. The fact is there are far too many underserved, crime infested, predominately minority neighborhoods throughout America that can best be described as being "bombed out." And the rundown buildings, junk-filled streets and absence of thriving businesses suggests that a war had taken place, or was still going on, in them. So it's understandable why so many citizens -- living in abject poverty in the world's richest nation -- have a very hard time understanding our government's foreign policy.

  1. How To Deconstruct Almost Anything
  2. Deconstruction, in particular, is a fairly formulaic process that hardly merits the commotion that it has generated. However, like hack writers or television producers, academics will use a formula if it does the job and they are not held to any higher standard. Just to clear up the mystery, here is the formula, step-by-step...
    
    I made my way through this long-ass piece, which was a good read btw, and found it came to many of the same conclusions I've subscribed to for a while: it's not what you have to say that counts, but how you say it. Here's a tangential example: Bill Clinton vs. George W. Bush. Other than delivery, what's the real difference?

A lot people don't know that the actress who played George and Louise's neighbor, Helen Willis, is the real-life mother of rocker Lenny Kravitz.

    All this, and by the way, Moveable Type got funded. (Good for them.) I guess blogs, which were supposed to be about personal expression, will ultimately just become another pipeline to the money machine, it's the capitalist thing to do: Here's what I think ... now pay a muhf*cka for it! But blogging's not about money, is it? When they say it's not about the money, it's about the money.

  2. [O]rdinary Americans are buying surveillance devices, many of dubious legality, at a clip of $6 million a day. We have met the enemy of our privacy, and it is us. Although this technology is growing much faster than is generally recognized, its advance is neither inexorable nor uncontrollable.
    
    We'll soon be drowning in a sea of personal data that was ostensibly collected to "protect" us. This long article covers lots of the pluses and minuses of digital technology and its applications to surveillance. We can only hope that we adopt more of the pluses, because the minuses portend a cruel and gloomy future for sure.

    So even Spielberg doesn't let his kids watch TV? That's got to make you think. The irony of TVT-O Week this year, for your humble blogger, is that yesterday I watched that wack show, "Mr. Personality." But that was only to see if Monica had been staying true to Atkins. OK, I'm back off the boob-toob now. Time to get a good book.

  2. A young, beautiful, single woman will court several eligible men who must rely strictly on their personalities to captivate her, hosted by Monica Lewinsky.
    
    Surely, Monica used her personality, and not her looks, to land this gig, just like she did back in the good ol' days with Bubba. From the network that brought you Joe Millionaire, this one's a new twist on The Bachelorette. The problem is, unlike Trista, this woman doesn't seem that cool, or likeable. Maybe they should swap her for the host. At least the guys would know what they'd be getting with Mo.

  1. Publishers ... We Know the Numbers Lie
    
    (New York Observer)
  2. Nobody talks about publishing numbers because they are so unbelievably low. How many authors really make a living wage from their advances? How many books actually earn out, or pay their authors anything beyond the initial advance? And how many copies sold turn any particular book into a best-seller? The fact that very few people in this country read books is publishing's dirty little secret, and it's one executives are, understandably, desperate to keep.
    
    These days it seems as if Johnny can't read, and even if he could, he'd rather go to the movies or the ballpark. An illiterate society is ripe to be manipulated by propaganda, er, mass media. (Note: this article may disappear soon due to the Observer's weak approach to providing permanent links.)

  1. Prime Time Payola
    
    (GNN)
  2. Clear Channel owns more than 1200 radio stations (approximately 50% of the total), five times more than their closest competitors, CBS and ABC. Considering the fact that, before the 1996 Telco Act, a single broadcaster could not own more than 40 stations in the entire country, it is hard to see the behemoth as anything but a virtual creation of the Act itself. All told, the company has spent over $30 billion since the FCC lowered the barrier of entry to the proverbial corral. But, while Clear Channel's unhindered expansionism has been a direct result of the deregulation that media barons crave, it has not been viewed favorably by the rest of the industry.

  1. Tagged Message Delivery Agent (TMDA)
  2. As a SPAM filter, TMDA combines a "whitelist" (for known/trusted senders), a "blacklist" (for undesired senders), and a cryptographically enhanced confirmation system (for unknown, but legitimate senders). TMDA strives to be more effective, yet less time-consuming than traditional filters.
    
    This is probably worth a look, because I'm being overrun by spam these days, so much that I'm starting to use the telephone again. To actually contact people! If I can put on my Malcolm X hat for a minute, I love how the good list is called a whitelist, while the bad list, the one for undesirables, is called a blacklist. A microcosm of our society: the language.

  1. Al-Jazeera HQ in Basra bombed
    
    (MediaGuarian)
  2. A hotel in Basra being used as a base by al-Jazeera's team of correspondents in the city was shelled this morning, the Arabic TV news channel has claimed.
    
    OK it was only claimed. And there are at least two sides to every story. But have you been paying attention to the other war? Not the war of public opinion. Who cares what the general public thinks? I'm talking about the war of propaganda.

  1. Is Your Television Watching You?
    
    (TelevisionWeek)
  2. Could the federal government find out what you're watching on TV? Even if you're not the subject of a criminal investigation?If you're a satellite TV or TiVo owner, the answer is yes, according to legal experts and industry officials.Under the USA Patriot Act, passed a month after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the feds can force a noncable TV operator to disclose every show you have watched. The government just has to say that the request is related to a terrorism investigation, said Jay Stanley, a technology expert for the American Civil Liberties Union.
    
    All of The Simpsons and South Park episodes you've watched will catch up to you eventually, Neo. But is this real or just an April Fool's joke?
