sarahlane: zadi: Hanging out in front of school: High School....

Hanging out in front of school:
High School. NYC. The usual crew. 10th grade I think. This is also when I started listening to grunge music - Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Sound Garden, Stone Temple Pilots. None of my friends were listening to that kind of music at the time. Nobody really turned me on to it. Just gravitated toward the sound… wore those headphones a lot. Lots of personal life shifts happened during this time. I was 15/16.

Love this, Zadi! It’s like Fame High. Probably about the farthest thing away from any high school backdrop I could dig up from my formative years. But I’m going to. In fact, I’d like to welcome the rest of you to do the same. Let’s compare histories!

What’s fascinating about this photo is that none of the people in it knew anything about Facebook, Twitter or digital cameras. Why do I feel a burst of nostalgia for such times?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:43:39 +0000

Last week I was once again working with the Sustainable Scotland Network, capturing audio interviews for their annual podcast. This year they wanted to experiment with video a little, so I produced this for them.

Twitter; what is it good for?

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:12:03 +0000

…sitting on the sofa watching Strictly, it would seem.

“Twitter is great for while I’m watching something like Strictly or Big Brother. It’s like watching with your friends on the sofa. To go out you’d need a babysitter, or your husband to come back from work.”

From the Times site.

Have you heard of the Invisible Web?

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:13:21 +0000

I found this while Stumbling about the web today; the “invisible web”. It’s an article on why some sites and pages are “invisible” when searching the web using service like Google.

It was originally written in 2000 and since then, as the article concedes, many of the issues have been addressed. However, it’s an interesting piece and worth checking out.

Leaving on a Jet Planer – John Denver

Why bad people do good things [by Mark Driscoll]

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:42:50 +0000

Genesis 1-2 (especially 1:26) reveals that humanity was made under God and over the rest of creation. Error occurs regarding imago Dei when this biblical tension is not maintained. Generally speaking, nearly every error in anthropology puts us up to be divine like God, or pushes us down to be animals like the rest of creation.

The former is common when human sinfulness is overlooked and/or there is an erroneous belief that we are somehow part of the divine. This is common in pantheism and panentheism.

The latter is common when humans are seen as little more than highly evolved or educable animals, incapable of denying their depraved instincts or living above their base and sinful desires. This is really a simple way of excusing and promoting selfishness, evil, and injustice with an evolutionary defense.

Another week, another day

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:04:05 +0000

Another day and another social media strategy to develop, this time for Sean Walls Eye Care Centre.

Also, another day of having problems with iTunes. Anyone else finding iTunes is buggy when you try to sync podcasts to your iPod?

Thinking of attending a non-violent - aka peaceful - protest in the UK?

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:50:21 +0000

Many of those targeted by the police have committed no crime and are guilty only of non-violent direct action. So it is worth reminding ourselves that protest is legal. Sorry if this sounds obvious, but you might have gained the impression that if three police units are spying on and targeting thousands, then those people must be up to something illegal.

The triumph of evil

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I confess; I was stung by this early this morning. My excuse was that it was 6am and my bloodstream was caffeine-free.

Sustainability in out dynamic earth

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:57:46 +0000

It’s a pleasant autumnal morning and I’m on my way to the capital to podcast from the Sustainable Scotland Network Conference. The model is the same this year as it’s been for the past 3 years; soundbite interviews, voxpops, edited and uploaded throughout the day. It’s always interesting and it’s nice to have a day out in Our Dynamic Earth, where the event is held.
