slow night, any topic

Here's a thread where you can post random thoughts that may not justify their own dedicated thread. I'll start:

Mike (dadsM3) is on his canoeing trip today. Wonder if he tipped?

 

[RdEoSg]

ummm. My girlfriend will be here in three weeks and I am quite excited!

Hows that for off topic 😉

OM (Old Media) vs NM (New Media)

OM: Content generated by professional newsteam.
NM: Content to large extent provided by the audience. Instead of 10-20 reporters a news channel would suddenly have thousands upon thousands of 'reporters.

OM Example: CNN, NYT.
Common Delivery: TV, Radio, Print. Information is pushed.

NM Example: Video blogs/channels like Rocketboom, etc,
Common Delivery: Internet, Radio. Information is pulled

Q...
* Is there a risk in OM that news is controlled and filtered?

* Is there a risk in NM that news is inaccurate and/or gets focus on 'fun' news?

* By moving to a pull-delivery will it mean that even though more diverse news and perspectives are made available the news/information will only be available to those that have the means/time/interest to seek it out (as opposed to being 'fed' the news on TV at 6:15pm every evening) - and in the end create a wide knowledge/educational gap in society?

* Etc..

I just bought a backpack to fit and protect my RF645 and laptop since I can't very well go without either during the day. I bought a satchel initially, but it was too uncomfortable with so much weight in it over the long walking time I spend during the day. $100 later, I have a pretty sweet backpack.

So who's gonna win Rock Star Supernova?

 

[flashover]

[FrankS]

Hoping for Toronto Luke, but likely Chris or Toby.

But I don't watch it.

 

[flashover]

I watch spongue Bob . In fact it just ended.

 

[pesphoto]

YEah, I watch Rock Star. JUst think its kinda funny to see htem try and sing some of those songs. A few arent too bad actually. Oh, and the skimpy outfits the ladies wear arent so bad either. hehe

For a few months, the Fight network was provided free on my satalite TV. Mixed marial arts, ultimate fighter. Amazing stuff! Pretty much anything goes except biting and scratching.
