DISQUS

Oh wow. I'm sad tonight. Yesterday I learned my friend is creating this wonderful site violence unsilenced http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article5753440.ece. Today I read this (and ohhh, those horrible disc jockey comments. wow) and now the tv executive beheading his wife. wow. why are we so, so ill as a people? hard to sleep tonight.

This is a wonderful blog btw. I've been lurking and will be back.

This is painfully beautiful. I hope things get less raw for you.

wow. I love yours. I'm late to the party but love this meme and am indebted to all the bloghers before me. What a lovely exercise and how wonderful it could be if we could all always honor our hearts this way.

how very cool. I will check it out. I have you on my DC blogs list. Did you ever live/blog here? Good luck out there. Rough times in your market, no?

really interesting. I've been thinking and blogging and reading and writing a lot about this myself lately. I'm a former journalist and now editor at a federal government agency and as such am well-accustomed to NOT expressing my opinions publicly. But the blogosphere (let alone twitter/texting/IM'ing world) is something else entirely. Disclosure happens at the speed of light. I'm attempting to blog quasi-anonymously, in that I know I can be found but am hoping the effort that takes serves as a shield of sorts. Simultaneously, I try to stay away from topics I know are verboten or would be if I were writing them in my name. for the most part anyway - sometimes I can't help myself.

I don't think one necessarily has to declare themselves as Journalist, Baker, Indian Chief... but maybe some transparency is a good rule of thumb. I try to add "admittedly I have a bias" when I do and state briefly what that bias is. I guess I think of blogging like "participant observation" - a qualitative research style I learned in academia. The idea (as I understand it) is that you aren't pretending to be objective/outside but rather are writing/researching from WITHIN your experience. I think that's most honest and most possible... so far... looking forward to seeing how this discussion continues to evolve. (Love your blog btw, I read all the time and mean to comment more!)

ha ha ha. netta is funny.

wow wow wow. i hadn't heard ANY of this. a friend (wordwebbing.com) passed this on. i have to admit - the "evidence" in pictures and facts you cite is compelling! wow. add this to my growing list of how angry this whole thing is making me. harumph.

you don't have Bill Clinton's and Biden's from weds. too, do you? Guess I'll go scour the interweb. keep up the great work... sorry i haven't been coming around as much

and uh, one more teeny tiny problem with netflix's "watch it now" feature... not mac friendly. eek.

Oh wise, friendfeed gurus, do you know... is there a way to post once in friendfeed (i.e. not to have to reshare) in each of your rooms? That would really help me. Thanks.

oy. still trying to figure out just HOW to get it on my wordpress blog. I love all the power in this technology. and I hate it. ;)

thanks for the post.
