I didn’t say only read things you agree with, @oliverzip, just not things that annoy you. There’s a difference.
Dear Internets, if you find Bettina Arndt annoying, then don’t read her stuffs. It’s really quite simple.
Tue plan (interim): AM write quick article / prepare pics for same; remainder of day TBA, when my brain starts working properly.
Emerges, having fallen asleep early, then woken up and hardly slept all night. It’s your fault.
Given that I was up early today and had little sleep… [exit]
Home.
@domknight I agree. The universe is unfolding as it should. I am at peace with WS-FM. Also, I have been drinking.
And now they play Van Halan’s “Jump”! Of course. http://youtu.be/swzh0ngM…
“And now the latest on Sydney’s roads, thanks to Bar Century.” Christ, I love commercial radio!
“It takes a very special person to become a foster parent… so if you have experience in taking care of teenagers…” No, I’ll stop there.
OMFG! WS-FM is running “Are you smarter than Jonno and Danno?” I mean, “Yes”, obviously, next question?
ABC has done a nice infographic of who’s minister of what http://bit.ly/aPwEnN
@bronwen Speaking of “egonomy”, I’ve been added to a list of “Australian Social Media Super Heroes” in the hope I’ll RT it. I’ve sussed it.
The other thing about good commissioning editors is that they play to the insecure egos of their contributors. And we pretend not to notice.
My previous tweet is perhaps the most important tip for freelance writers ever written.
It’s OK @NewtonMark there’s a couple of commissioning editors who accept story pitches that are just a bunch of random drunken paragraphs.
Discovering that another commissioning editor’s emails have all been marked as spam, which is why I didn’t get any work from them. Grrrr!
Is it only Monday?
Wondering how many times I can use the word “arsehat” in one email to one of my commissioning editors.
@expectproblems How dare you! Radio executives are the smartest people on the planet!
@grum The flaw in your strategy is imagining that Sydney power brokers even know that Perth exists. Sad but true. They are arsehats.
Trying to understand radio WS-FM’s news strategy. Who do they think their target audience is?
RT @thetowncrier: This is so weird…
@grum @bronwen The Sydney small bar initiative, which I’ve dubbed “The Cloverland Laws”, is copied directly from Melbourne, not via Perth.
@SnarkyPlatypus There is only one Matrix. You have been deceived.
@D_Keating Well, if people start getting into politics thru one issue, cool, but I do really hope they then branch out to a wider view.
@shevstar As a matter of curiosity, how many hours went into the production of that? Research, recording, editing, angst from EP…?
@shevstar Your Background Briefing on “Social media and sentiment mining” is a fine piece of radio! http://bit.ly/9TNhSx
@BernardKeane I’m disturbed that there’s so many people who see politics solely through this narrow lens of Sen Conroy and Teh Filterz.
Um, Apple Mail how did you manage to just delete an email I was reading and not, like, move it to the Trash but just delete it?
“Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber”: Does what it says on the tin http://bit.ly/a6mx4y HT @jasonlangenauer
Mobile: Enmore Rd; potentially even all the way to King St; exciting errands; well, not really exciting, but I can pretend; remainder TBA.
RT @deptofinternets: That whining sound you hear is The Internet. [Yes, it does seem louder today. It gets louder every single day.]
I feel obliged to remind people of the Eduganda Panda Show, with ninjas http://youtu.be/kJYvbxkb…
@trib Huh? You think bears should explain it? This is “Play School” again?
@trib It doesn’t seem obvious to many people at all, actually, hence the explanation we recorded.
Wondering why Senator Conroy keeps his job? The explanation is in “Patch Monday” http://bit.ly/btJh6B [Gotta get SOME mileage out of it…]
Humming the “Play School” theme while watching The Door. ♫ ♪ “There’s a ranga in there…” ♫ ♪
RT @expectproblems: I run entirely on alcohol. [Well it’s the only responsible thing to do. You should be proud.]
New blog post: “Viocorp Future Forum: The Future of News Reporting” http://bit.ly/djOwGJ
Your cynicism is not appreciated @jasonlangenauer @savourybanana @jeamland @wolfcat I shall have to mock you later today.
In order to achieve PM Gillard’s “sustainable” population, I will now run entirely on ethanol.
Yes @jdub it would be good to hear @BernardKeane in podcasts again, eh @sophblack?
SmartCompany Web Awards 2010 now open for entries http://bit.ly/aZGRLn
@jdub @engochick If we have any more inspiration around here, someone will need to get the fire hose.
@engochick The addition of zombies to the headline was an inspired act, thank you.
New “Patch Monday” podcast at @zdnetaustralia: “Conroy, Lundy and zombies” http://bit.ly/btJh6B Includes @BernardKeane @Bruff @macgibbon
Thank you @daev @stryqx for suggesting “weed and daytime TV” and “drinkin’ and whorin’” as substitute Monday plans.
@leighsales I hate to break it to you, but the Julia Rudd image is from 24 June or earlier http://bit.ly/cOI4h9
@deptofinternets Well there IS no point internetting at all. Richard Alston was right, broadband is only good for gambling and porn.
@virtualpete Yes there does seem to be a rather unhealthy fascination with the Prime Minister’s vagina.
