I Blame The Patriarchy (9) permalink
It was inevitable that, while listening to the radio during my semi-annual shower, I would hear an NPR analysis on the outfits worn by the presidential candidates’ wives. Ever on the cutting edge of popular culture, NPR hauled Jackie Kennedy’s ancient stylist out of cryogenic storage to canvass her edgy up-to-the-minute views on politics and women. Jackie Kennedy, you’ll recall, was the last genuine hottie to inhabit the First Lady title. Among her other dainty ...Shared by colleen wainwright (6)Contribute comment -

Occasionally you’ll hear “why are all these open source people Mac slaves? Cognitive dissonance much?” This is why: The open source ecosystem is an ocean. Your PC is an aquarium. For platforms the internet relies on, you want Free Open Source Software all the way. Linux, MySQL, Apache, PHP, and Firefox being open source helps keep themselves and their commercial competitors honest. The open source software ocean is often choppy, dangerous, ugly, and hard to ...Shared by colleen wainwright (6)Contribute comment -

50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business | chrisbrogan.com (173)

We really can’t deny the fact that businesses are testing out Twitter as part of their steps into the social media landscape. You can say it’s a stupid application, that no business gets done there, but there are too many of us (including me) that can disagree and point out business value. I’m not going to address the naysayers much with this.

permalinkReality programming came up in conversation today, and everyone took turns putting the boot in. Me too. We scorned it in suspiciously well informed detail. Then we all took turns on the high horse: The rabble have broken into the castle of broadcasting! This is the end of civilization as we know it! This is a ferocious attack on taste, discernment and elites! Run for your lives! I get the argument, and I especially like ...Shared by colleen wainwright (6)
