Movies, Music, and Newspapers
This post by Jack Lail made me revisit a thought that has been rolling around in my empty skull off and on for a while now. Truth be told, the history of newspapers on the Internet is littered with missed opportunities, wrong turns, and a lack of investment that all seemed smart (or at least [...]
Naughty Pictures of Knox County Teacher Being Investigated
From the KNS: School security chief Steve Griffin said this morning that his department scoured the web after they received information Friday relating to photographs of Inskip Elementary School teacher Melinda England. Get ready for an onslaught of this. I predict that “nude teacher pictures” will be the new “doing it with the teacher” in [...]
Blog Numbers and the General Public
The Wall Street Journal’s Carl Bialik has another great column today, this time about the numbers of Americans who are blog-aware. According to a survey (conducted online), …80% of Americans know what a blog is, nearly half have visited one and 8% maintain their own blog. I think these numbers may be off by quite [...]
Television is to JFK as the Internet is to…
Want to take a shot at completing this analogy? I wasn’t alive back in the JFK era, but one thing that we’ve always heard about JFK is that he was the first President to really utilize television in both the elections and in his Presidency. All of the other candidates were stuck in the old [...]
Ron Paul Blowback?
It was only a matter of time before “Ron Paul Blowback” would happen on the internet. TheWalk.com has this to say about people burying Ron Paul on Digg, just for the sake of burying him: It’s hard to believe that anyone would actively censor a guy who is already suppressed in every other media. This [...]
Barbie Fever is Sweeping Knoxville Blogs
So it’s not just me. Other bloggers in Knoxville are being bombarded with Barbie traffic as well. Joe Powell : An insatiable desire to find Hitleresque cat pics and porn doesn’t exactly boost my overall optimism in web-aware humans. It makes me wonder if there is some nefarious site of Hitler Porn which gathers billions [...]
Live Blogging of the South Carolina Debate Part II
After the break… Question 21: That’s funny that Gilmore lumps those three together. I like to do that with “Republicrats”. He is doing a great job of not naming names. And now he’s naming names. This could get good. Question 22: Guiliani is basically asking McCain to be his running mate. I guess he’s been [...]
Ron Paul’s Coverage After the S.C. Republican Debate
Will the mainstream media continue to ignore Dr. Paul’s campaign, or will they wake up and smell themselves? It may be a time for them to start giving Dr. Paul’s campaign some serious coverage. After the Reagan Library debate, Ron Paul was ignored by big media, in spite of winning post debate polls conducted by [...]
Ron Paul is the Only Candidate Making Sense
Becky C.’s post has me fired up. I saw USA Today this morning and their poll listing the front runners. They didn’t even have Ron Paul listed among the “also rans”. If Hillary, Obama, McCain, Romney really do make more sense to the American public than Dr. Paul, we are in deep, deep trouble. Honestly, [...]
Ron Paul up to #4 on Technorati
Ron Paul is currently the 4th most searched term at technorati.com. He’s the only candidate in the top 10, and is *gasp* ranked higher than Paris Hilton. I’m sure he’s a big fan of the internet right about now.  That’s the great thing about free speech and free markets–the best ideas and products really do [...]
