Check out hyper­people’s latest on the death of tele­vi­sion. I feel a little like I’m being used by the hyper­mind though, because Mark has already posted a post about how we good little swarm­ers are help­ing him con­quer the market in eye­balls this week. I almost want to…

From shore_fragments (your first com­ment I believe?): 1. What book(s) or movie(s) [let’s say 3 total] would I have to read / see to get an ink­ling of how you see your­self? (not to be con­fused with favour­ites) The first one is also a favour­ite but I think it really…

Great film. It’s unusual to see an action film set in Israel, and see a dif­fer­ent side of Israel in some ways. I would­n’t say I watch a lot of Israeli films but I cer­tainly see a few, so it’s not com­pletely alien to me, but the ones I watch are usu­ally political…

A verb, Prime Min­is­ter. We need a verb!

From paula_angela: (i) What would you do if you had your own tele­vi­sion chat show? Spend most of my year trav­el­ling around the world. Oh, you mean, on the show? I think it would just be a TV ver­sion of the mag I want to do: a combo of cul­tural stuff, polit­ical stuff,…

Scary stat from yes­ter­day’s Good Week­end: Per­cent­age of col­lege-edu­cated US women who changed their name after mar­riage in 2000: 23 Per­cent­age in 1990: 17 Am I the only person who is ter­ri­fied by this? [1] [1] Dis­claimer: I am not per­son­ally attack­ing any of you who…

Ah, music. Once again, my saviour, my hope, my heart. Waves and waves of energy, sweet, strong light, tabla teas­ing double bass, drums entwined with key­boards, roils of suc­cour caus­ing bodily response, dance and energy back, call and response, and to end on Lei…

From drjon: A: Any regrets? Sure. Lots. B: You live an amaz­ingly hectic and dense life. What don’t you manage to fit in, that you really wish you could? More sex. Ser­i­ously, more read­ing time. And I wish I could fit in trips to the forests for forest protests like I…

From ozgenre: 1. Given your exper­i­ence in the pub­lish­ing field, what do you see (apart from inde­pend­ent press recog­ni­tion) as being the real defi­cit in the Aus­tralian press/media, and how can we, in real­ity, fix it? The race for AB con­sumers at the expense of solid…

I’m on my way to The Bird at Revolver Upstairs tonight. I meant to organ­ise a crowd to go. I’d call it spur of the moment but it’s actu­ally just dis­or­gan­isa­tion (it’s been in my diary for weeks). Ah well… Anyhow, they’re an awe­some drum n’ bass outfit from Sydney…

Okay, I give in. I quite like this inter­view meme I’m seeing on… well… just about all my friend’s journ­als. And I’m look­ing for dis­trac­tion right now, so let me have it. Inter­view me! Leave five ques­tions for me in a response to this post and I shall answer them.…

I am just too exhausted to write any­thing about it (16-hour day fol­lowed by a 18-hour day) so I’ll just say: what she said (zara­bee on the abom­in­able immig­ra­tion travesty).

Stressed. Lots of stuff on. Went to Lawrence Lessig talk yes­ter­day. Was more like watch­ing poetry per­form­ance it was so pol­ished and beau­ti­fully timed. Res­ol­u­tion: must rehearse own work against inter­est­ing but elu­sive slide shows. Went to Warhol exhib­i­tion again on…
