Do you read the Sunday paper?  Which one(s)?


Yes, The Washington Post and The New York Times, although I often start with the online versions on Saturday night.

Poynter.org, the website for journalists, published my rant, 'Take a Blogger to Lunch' last week, and it has legs. I put more of myself out there than ever before, but our industry really needs people to shout from the roof tops that the future is nothing to fear.

I was very, very tired of the panic sweeping The Washington Post and other newsrooms. The article is a challenge to those of us in the mainstream media to do what we are trained to do - get out and mix it up with the people. We have gotten very comfortable 'reporting' on our communities, but we have forgotten that we are part of those communities as well.

We have got to do better if we are going to survive.

]]> Hacking My Reality tag:vox.com,2006-12-19:asset-6a00c2251d19978e1d00cdf3a8cd55cb8f 2006-12-19T13:33:54Z 2006-12-19T19:44:47Z keithwj http://keithwj.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom-full

The first time the power of the net hit me was way back in 1997 when I posted my first gallery of photography, some pics of trips to Cuba, on my website. A day or so after they went up, I got an email from Japan, someone who had seen the photographs and wanted to say hi. My photographs had just gone global in an instant.

The light bulb went on, the ground shifted, hell froze over - I got it.

A few days ago I finally made good on an invite I received a couple of weeks ago from a netizen named Mike Lee. We came to each other's attention through a website called hiptop Nation where we both started posting photos from our Sidekicks way back in 2003. I soon left for the greener pastures of better voice communication and bigger phonecam pics, but we kept reading each other's blogs and soon met up again on the uber-photo site Flickr.

We had lunch near The Post and chatted about life on and off line for almost 2 hours. A main topic of conversation was our admiration for the work of John Maeda at MIT. Turns out that Mike, through his gig at AARP has spent a good deal of time in the Maeda-sphere and clearly saw my eyes light up every time he recounted some of the things he saw and did while there.

Mike, who looks innocent enough, has hacked my reality - I got an email from the good Dr.'s office yesterday and I will enter the sphere in a couple of days. Life hack, via hiptop, Flickr and the web, courtesy Mike Lee.

Spent part of the weekend 'discovering' J-Pop sensation Crystal Kay (yes I have been living under a rock).

Thanks to YouTube I got caught up quickly on her videos and her voice. Hopefully she will record something for the U.S. market soon!

Midterm Elections, 2006
Midterm Elections, 2006

Last week was an interesting one to be an American.
The election showed that every vote still counts and that the people do know when things don't seem right.

Let's hope that this power transfer is more than just symbolic and that the body politic can get its House (and Senate) in order.

Amerie is an Army brat with the voice and looks of an angel.
Her music is R&B with a pinch of D.C. Go-go, and it rocks.


Amerie has a new single out and an album on the way. Check her out!
