Links for 29 September 2009 through 30 September 2009

30 September 2009 in Daily Links by del.icio.us | No comments

Stilgherrian’s links for 29 September 2009 through 30 September 2009, published with very little care whatsoever:

jQuery Carousel: This is the code that Jeff Waugh used for the rotating carousel of featured stories on the Crikey home page. He reckons he wouldn’t necessarily use it again. But this is my bookmark.
Online Database of Social Media Policies | Social Media Governance: A collection of (currently) more than 100 corporate policies relating to social media.
Is transparency the new objectivity? 2 visions of journos on social media | Nieman Journalism Lab: One of the more interesting discussions following the Washington Post‘s imposition of new, restrictive social media guidelines for its staff.
Against Journalistic “Balance” | Grits for Breakfast: This piece from 2008 covers many of the reasons I consider journalistic “objectivity” to be a myth.
The Eggcorn Database: An eggcorn is an accidental word, intended to be something else. The original “eggcorn” was meant to be “acorn”.
The Body In Question | YouTube: Jonathan MIller’s remarkable 13-part BBC television series on medicine from 1978. The encoding isn’t the best, but his wit and style come through. I’ve watched two episodes so far. In the second, I was intrigued to see an appendectomy being done using traditional surgery, rather than keyhole.
If Architects Had to Work Like Web Designers | Digital Survivors: Although written as satire, this does precisely describe the unrealistic expectations that many clients put onto their web designers and developers.

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. But it’s already well after midnight Sunday night in Australia, so here we are. Articles You’ll love the [...]
Choosing my next media directions: you’re doing it, OK?

05 May 2013 in Business, Media, Personal, Stilgherrian Live, The 9pm Edict, Weekly Poll

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 [...]
