Social Network Event Talk

Denise Gravine’s talk on “The (Social) Medium is the Message” was concise and informative. Instead of focusing on the social-network tools, she delved into the audiences and where are they heading. A summery of the talk could be found on her web site. It’s worthwhile to take a look.

Blogging’s Out, Social Web’s In?

Both WordPress and Movable Type are bringing social networking features to their tools, is blogging on its way out?

I don’t know. I still like the blog for longer, more detailed posts. Twitter is cool and all but who actually scroll back to read Twitter posts?

Shame on you, Spain

The basketball team did it. Now the tennis team is doing it too. That is some ignorant shit.

Song of the Day

The Puppini Sisters’ “Jilted.” NPR:

A bassist plucks the big fiddle’s strings and makes them moan. Drumsticks tap out a languid beat. Then a sad woman begins her story of woe: “I bought another dinner for one / I sit and watch some pointless rerun…” Two other singers join her to lament their fate: “Jilted… again.” They’d even sat through football games to keep him! Now, the jiltees are engaging in classic self-destructive behavior, from “drinking gin” to “talking to the cat.”

The Rise & Fall of Ruby Woo is a fun album to listen to.

Fiercely Individual

NPR profiles instrumental vocalist Betty Carter:

For nearly 50 years, Betty Carter was an irrepressible and incomparable practitioner of the jazz vocal tradition, with an intense, adventurous style and a booming voice. The fiercely dedicated and demanding vocalist was a pioneer in the music business, paving the route for scores of younger musicians.

Social Network Event

I’ll be attending the IABC’s “The (Social) Medium is the Message” tonight at Tivoli Restaurant. The speaker is Denise Graveline, president of Don’t Get Caught and blogger of The Eloquent Woman. Will see how it turns out.

Out Sick Today

The flu came on Monday night and I should have took my wife’s advice and stayed home and rest. Went to work yesterday and it got worse. I had to leave a early and the commute home was hell. I got home and crashed out. My wife got out of work early and made me some chicken congee. I could barely eat. I feel a bit better today, but still hot and a bit disorienting. So I better stay home today to rest.

Isn’t it great to have a wife who takes good care of you when you’re sick? Her congee was great. It reminded me of the early days when we were just learning out each other. She was sick and I offered to cook some congee for her. When I came over to her apartment. It was already cooked and so I helped her out by ate two bowls. Man, it was the good old time.

Pussy Monster

It’s about time Lil Wayne cuts a studio version of “Pussy Monster.”
