SJ Post: The Best News on TV in Ages

Chilean Miner's Story




 
CNN, For The Most Part, 

Hit It Out of The Park

 Taking a Page Out of Network Sportscast's Playbook, by shutting up and letting the Scene of the "Events" speak for themselves, increased and at least Showcased the Emotion of the moment and that made News.

CNN did , what too seldom does nowadays. What it use to do Best: 

Delivered the News.

But then, even Newspapers are slipping through the cracks these days.

Giving In or Just Giving Up to The Internet.

Why this happens so frequently, is more a Function of Media's Disconnect with the real Audience it presumes to be serving, and Not the Face Book and Twitter Fan Boys they have become, because a Nip here and a Tuck there, and it's all "good", the News for the Social Network, is not a good way to save Televised News.

Substance, on the Other Hand, Speaks Volumes.

Justin Case is Out.




Ongoing discussion...

The Bumpy Road to Technological Order

Well, now it really begins.  My Quest for a rhyme and reason to the contraption called the World Wide Web, 2 point whatever.

It won't be easy because we all see rainbows differently.  But then, the Web is Not a destination but a journey with faulty road maps.

I see things quite differently because I'm an amalgamater of sorts.  I find corollaries in the darndest  places.  

Call me a Theorist without a Lab coat.

An Example of my Mindset:

I'm reading John Adams by David McCullough.  Abigail Adams said the French people were a nation of actors, each playing a part.  I found that a bit harsh at the time, but later I imagined today we might be considered a nation of You Tubers.  Or in Steve Jobs annointing: amateurs.  Now that was really harsh.  But think about it.  When we descend into the depths of virtual reality shows as part of our daily fare.  Maybe we are just bit players playing a part that we didn't write. And with today's "technology", how tough is it to put a camera on that?

It has become easier than we care to admit.  And in so doing, it has changed us.
Much like the great comedians that eventually become tiresome because they're always "on".


Whether we care to admit it or not, we have somehow become and appendage to technology.  The Links that Bind.


This month's Lead Article in Wired magazine was the Jeremiah phrase: The Web Is Dead.  But no, it's actually worse than that.  It's Humanity that is on the slippery slope.

Make Use of TinyURL in Twitter!

Check out this TinyURL: http://tinyurl.com/b4nx9l

Since Twitter is limited to 140 characters, saving space for Long and unwieldy Urls is a given. TinyURL does that in spades.

The above link expands to this : http://www.osnews.com/story/20914/Linux_vs_Windows_7_vs_Vista_Benchmarks

Not Bad, eh?

Problem is, that I like to Tweet on iPod Touch and "cut and paste" is still on the back burner as far as Apple is concerned.

Tsk, tsk.

The OBAMA Straight-Jacket

The most technological President yet, Obama, is losing his Blackberry because of "freedom of information", or full disclosure.

Absurd! But True.

The Global Eco-System

The Tools For The Technological Revolution

The French don't like that the Internet is basically in English. I can understanding that. I don't like it that it's become mostly Javascript and PHP, but then, I cut my skills with Borland's Turbo Pascal. And lately, Python has had a strangle-hold on me after breaking free from C++.

Scripting languages just make it too easy to screw things up. Listen to Steve Gibson on Security Now! for a while and you"ll understand what I mean.

I've been messing with Linux since the mid-90's. I'm using Fedora 8 now and taste Live Distros from time to time. It's a struggle, but I know its lightyears from where Windows is going.

And Apple is too Quiche, a tart filled with rich unsweetened custard; often contains other ingredients (as cheese or ham or seafood or vegetables), for me.

This Blogg is going to present the BIGG PICTURE of what is happening in and on the Global Internet. Perhaps with a higher perspective we, together, might get a more accurate definition of where it is we are and where it might be going.

Without getting lost in the Cloud or the Jargon.
