27 April 2009 in Daily Links by del.icio.us | 2 comments

Here are the web links I’ve found for 25 April 2009 through 27 April 2009, posted with postingness.

Noteboek | Vimeo: Evelien Lohbeck’s short film creates a notebook computer out of a paper notebook.
Nirvana “Smells Like Teen Spirit (8-Bit Remix)” | DoseNation: Somehow, this hugely-successful rock song still sounds good played on cheesey 8-bit synthesisers.
Towards a Taxonomy of blogs | Creative Economy Online: Meta-journalist Margaret Simons reckons that before we descend into the loggers versus journalists debate then we should define our terms. She proposes a classification of blog types.
Rooftop STUB | Flickr: Will Hughes’ stills photography of Saturday’s party.
What is wrong with Strawberry Amyl Nitrate? | Vimeo: Will Hughes took this video at Saturday’s rooftop party in Surry Hills. It contains rather too much of me, and certainly too much of my tongue.
slow down london: Running from 24 April through to 4 May, this festival about “living life in real time” is striking a chord.
Is Social Media Too Fast? | Convince & Convert: Jason Baer kicks off a discussion about the incredible pace of social media. “This of course requires me to jump from task to message to task to message like a Russian dancing bear on crack,” he says. Perhaps it’s time to choose to slow down? I’ll definitely have more to say about this anon.
“One Of My Biggest Pet Peeves Is A Girl Who Is Not Probably Groomed On All Parts Of Her Body” – Arthur Kade | Jezebel: There is just so much wrong with this man’s worldview that I don’t know where to begin.
a warning from the newspaper biz | overland literary journal: Can the book industry learn from what’s happening to newspapers? Amongst the great questions asked is: “Will an author’s share of revenue on e-books be a traditional fixed percentage, or a variable, we’re-not-going-to-tell-you-what-we-received-from-your-work-but-here’s-a-quarter-go-buy-yourself-something-nice percentage of advertising revenue that Google might deign to dole out (as it does with ad revenue to site/blog owners)?”

@Jason Baer: Hey no problem. Your essay was actually the inspiration to the opening monologue in last week’s edition of Stilgherrian Live, so you may want the check the first 13 minutes of the video.

So how should I cover Budget 2013?

14 May 2013 in Internet, Media, Politics

I’ve commented on Australia’s federal Budget for Crikey every May since Labor took power in 2007. This year will be no exception — but how will I top last year’s rant? Why do politicians and their groupies always go on about the budget “sending a message”? Can’t they just use Twitter, email and the phone [...]
Weekly Wrap 153: Dumb tribalism and a long flight

13 May 2013 in Weekly Wrap

My week Monday 6 to Sunday 12 May 2013 is technically still continuing, because as I write this it’s the start of a beautiful Sunday morning in San Francisco — and I’ve got the day to myself.

Choosing my next media directions: you’re doing it, OK?

Look, I’ve been thinking about this stuff all week and I can’t decide. So over to you. Scroll down for a Proper Scientific Poll on the Internet! What media stuff would you like me to do? I last wrote about this in January, in Five questions and no answers about my media work. Read that [...]
Weekly Wrap 152: LulzSec, Optus, radio and thinking stuff

05 May 2013 in Weekly Wrap

My week Monday 29 April to Sunday 5 May 2013 began gently, with planning and washing and other chores, and just two articles to write. But by Wednesday night I’d also done four radio spots, washed an infinite number of towels, and eaten most of a sheep. Or so it felt. Then Thursday was full [...]
Talking LulzSec and hacktivism on Triple J’s “Hack”

04 May 2013 in Conversations, Internet, Media, Politics

On Tuesday, Triple J’s current affairs program Hack decided to take a look at hacktivism more generally in the wake of Matthew Flannery’s arrest — and boy was it a shemozzle! I was interviewed for half an hour or more. Also interviewed were independent journalist and “chaos magnet” Asher Wolf, and Nigel Phair from the [...]
