On Blogging and the Results thereof....

Filter Time... Here are a few links to blogs and other essays questioning, answering, and riffing on blogging and the results thereof that I would like to recommend from the last few days worth of blog-reading:

First off, Meg questions why she blogs and what it means in "The Aims and Modes of Blogging".

Second, Apophenia points us to Kate Baggott's essay, "Show Me Your Context, Baby: My Love Affair with Blogs".

Finally, BoingBoing points to Danny O'Brien's post on "how famous do you want to be?" While Danny is writing on bands, his concept of middle class of fame can also apply to bloggers, artist/photographers, and website publishers.

Moleskine To Mobile

Tidbits

  • Dollarshort, but not a day late... Mena is back! 

    BLDGBLOG on Cold War Chemical & Radioactive materials offshore dumping : I have know for years of the dumping of barrels of radioactive waste in the Santa Monica Bay, but not that it was common off the coast of California.  Note to self: stop eating Dungeness crab caught in California.

    Wilkins, unhappy with the Antarctica, is leaving for open ocean.
  • Small group(s) of hardy, explorers colonize world. 
  • LAtimes.com on St. Cecila's : Priest gives responsibility of running church to congregation & church life revives.  
  • Preach it, brother! - "I don't do much of anything that elicits the response: 'I never saw a white man do that. Good for you. Your people must be so proud.'" - Milton on white man's burden.

    Unique bird of the day: Saw a crow pulling a part a small hawk on top of a rusted metal oil pump/rig in Long Beach today.  Was wondering if the hawk was dead or alive when the crow got it? Due to driving by at 45 mph, did not take a photo.
  • Understanding Art for Geeks: ROTFL!!! via @WordRidden & @AndyBudd

    Thomas Hawk on PhotoWalking: I may not agree with TH on all his points, but here is very good guide on how to take daily photos everywhere you go.  The main point is to take a camera with you at all times, big or small, and take photos.

    The SixtyOne:  The Music version of Digg. Have you used it? Added songs or got inspired by SixtyOne?

    SVN: While I hate SubVersion with a passion, C. Michael Pilato has been kind enough to put up a pdf version of his O'Reilly book online.  I will try to reconcile myself with SVN.  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Darn it all, I like FTP!
  • How Windows Users are Conditioned: Tom Negrino sums up: "It was like a tire puncture or something; just one of those things that happen. And that's what I find so pernicious about Windows. It's conditioned tens of millions of people to the idea that computers are unreliable and a huge pain in the ass. And that things that go wrong just can't be helped."

    Ernie & Royce on Working From Home
  • Ben Brown on why he quit Facebook: "I don’t want the Internet to be the bastard child of basic cable and Walmart. I want the Internet to be something better, where control of the media really is democratized and where I can truly find content and services that are crafted with me and people like me in mind."  (Ms. Jen says - Preach it, brother!)

  • 10 New Year’s Resolutions for the Freelance Developer

    Best bird sighting of the Week: An owl sitting on a big bough of an old oak tree at Irvine Regional Park.
