[JtB] 3.0: David Pescovitz
I’m posting my revised notes from last night’s Joining The Blogosphere event at San Jose State University. This is the third of four panel members. My input is in italics. David Pescovitz ran down a brief history of BoingBoing, the single most read blog around. In the 1980s, the diffusion of the PC lead to…

First Impressions of the Joining the Blogosphere [JtB] Event

Joining the Blogosphere Event In A Bit
Getting my ideas together for the Joining the Blogosphere shindig here briefly… Some questions I have going in: What does Jude Barry see as the political potential of blogs?

SJSU’s own Prof. Craig weighed in on the “Now who exactly is it that’s a journalist?” question in an op-ed piece in today’s San Jose Mercury news.

Off The Map
I promise this will be the last time I plug this movie, but I finally saw Off The Map this weekend at the Del Mar in Santa Cruz. Hey Campbell Scott: good job! When we were making this movie (which Campbell directed), I never thought it would be as funny as it turned out. That’s…
