How Not To Blog ?

The kids at Macalester College like to write and sing songs like Masturbating Over You and "Love It When You Hurt". From their new CD, no less.

I'm sure their parents would be proud of their continuance of Macalester "traditions".

What a fucking coincidence! The new pope, former Cardinal Ratzinger, presided over the Vatican conclave to elect the new pope.

Dear Marc "Macromedia" Canter. Shut the fuck up!

You sold the company and made your millions. Buy the shit back if you want it so badly. Stick with names like Broadband Mechanics, the most confusing one of your new ventures.

While you're at it, use one of Marcomedia's WYSIWYG products to design yourself a new Drupal template. Your website sucks!

You think the Cardinals at the Sistine Chapel conclave are actually voting?

Think again.

"People think that we are going to vote like in an election. But this is something completely different. We are going to listen to the Lord and listen to the Holy Spirit," Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras said in a homily.

It would be funny if their "holy spirit" blurted out a female's name. They'd shit their pants! .. and then elect one of their brothers to head up God's Church of Hopeless Men.

Adland now allows you to both add and find ads by tag.

Visual Radio should quit now before they spend any more money.

Behold! They allow you to also "Purchase a virtually unlimited range of products and services such as concert tickets, games, video clips and ring tones - immediately."

The broadcasts will be aimed at next-gen cell phones that have FM radio-ability. Infinity Broadcasting and Hewlett-Packard are behind the effort in the US.

FM Radio with pictures and 'buy this now' buttons. A wonderfully stupid idea.

They say:

"Here's an industry that's really old and becoming threatened by new technologies," said Vikki Pachera, vice president of strategic alliances and business development for HP. "We're able to help them create a relationship with customers they've never had before, and a revenue stream they've never had before."

Here's the CNET article.

Participatory Culture Foundation is working on an open-source desktop television application where anyone can "...broadcast full-screen video to thousands of people at virtually no cost, using BitTorrent technology". It will uses RSS feeds as channels, allowing you to automatically download media that you are subscribed to. Their software also has caching to expire video after you've watched them to make room for new videos.

They're also developing what they call a 'Broadcast Machine', which is built on top of their open-source Blog Torrent script.

Launch in June.
