Comments on: On Live TV Today… https://mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2006/06/attack-of-the-show A running commentary of occasionally interesting things — from Mike Davidson. Thu, 26 May 2016 06:34:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Devon Shaw https://mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2006/06/attack-of-the-show#comment-12697 Tue, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-12697 One thing of note is how the effectiveness of the blogsphere — as with all tools in general — is watered down by people who don’t take it seriously enough (LiveJournal, Xanga) to those who feed into the fad and take it too seriously (corporations, Adobe). The actual sweet spot of blog effectiveness is found by those who write with purpose and passion in their topics with intent to educate outside the mainstream masses: i.e. yourself, John Gruber of Daring Fireball, and Chris Cizilla of The Fix on the Washington Post.

Good luck on the air and have fun bro… just don’t screw up! :P

For the record, I wanted to get several things in that I didn’t, including the comments above by Devon Shaw and Todd Huss. Thanks guys… great thoughts. Just no time to really get into the meat of things.

Couldn’t even get in “Sweet Fennell!” :)

It has a low enough barrier to entry that anyone with a library card can get online and create a blog for a potentially international audience. I think in practice it tends to be fairly self regulating in that it takes more than one person writing about something before it’s really a story. That helps keep the false stories from propogating better than traditional media where once it’s in print that’s it. Of course neither system is perfect.

Another thing I find fascinating about blogging is that we hire our own newscasters so to speak. It’s a highly democratic approach to receiving our information and news and we can easily use multiple sources. If I had to watch the news on 3 networks every night or read 3 newspapers every day it would drive me crazy but with blogs, if there’s a story I’m interested in other viewpoints on, it’s only a search away.

Lastly, since when is giving the people a voice a threat, isn’t that what free speech is all about?!

Right now in our web class, we’re coding a blog in PHP/MySQL. Everyday we talk about how blogs are taking over the internet and spend a good few minutes bashing MySpace, of course.

Anyways, I just thought I’d let it be known that the young designers are being specifically taught how to make these blogging machines… I don’t see blogs going away anytime soon. I actaully plan on making my mom a blog simply so she can post her pointless e-mail jokes on there instead of sending me junk mail!

  1. emolument
  2. propitious
  3. sublunary
  4. halcyon
  5. recumbent

I’d be rolling if you used 1.. Squeeze all 5 in and I’ll not only worship you, I’ll build a temple, create a new religion and devote my life to spreading the word of Mike.

Or perhaps I will just send you a case of Fat Tire.

Hey are you going to wear make-up this time? Maybe you should pick out a nice bra before you go on the air. :-)

I love my Treo 700P!” Then see if Palm will send you free stuff.

Or, possibly, just answer every question with a sports analogy. Keep announcing world cup results when they’re talking to other people.
