Misc Round Up: Phil Spector, Journalism Layoffs, Oakland Murders, Marijuana.
I Heart Phil Spector’s License Plate. Flickr: cgkinla Popping Mad: Legendary Pop Music Producer’s second murder trial ended last week. According to the LA Times, he may have to wait a long time for his verdict. While he waits, someone can let him know that looking like a homicidal maniac doesn’t help your case. Oakland [...] -
Mighty Public Radio
KQED Exterior Sign. Flickr: TimShoesUnited Despite the recent layoffs at public radio stations across the country, NPR (and public radio by extension) has actually weathered the storm on modern journalism. This article in Fast Company has interesting analysis on why the comparatively low-fidelity NPR has seen a huge increase in listeners while newspapers and TV [...] -
New Music Round Up: Noisy Jams Alert
A lot of Music Briefly Noted: The 1000voices board from the Deep Leap release. Matador posted a No Age remix of “No Epiphany” by Fucked Up. The remix is a nice blend of two very different discordant sonic approaches. I especially like the eerie ending of the remix that blends Fucked Up’s talent for dramatic [...] -
The Guardian on Saving the Chronicle
San Francisco Bay Guardian. Flickr: Thomas Hawk The Hearst-owned San Francisco Chronicle has found an unlikely (totally self-righteous) ally in the San Francisco Guardian. In short, Guardian editors feel the the pain of struggling newspapers, but also suggest that the Chronicle and Hearst could do a better job. Instead of throwing up their arms Hearst [...] -
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: R.I.P. (2)
It’s in the P-I. Flicker: GlenFleishman I never read the Post-Intelligencer, but regardless, it’s a sad day for journalism. An article in Time Magazine presented the issues fairly clearly. The problems in the newspaper industry are well known. I won’t dwell on it. Declining print readership means declining revenue from advertising sales. Tough economic times [...] -
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer R.I.P.
Sun Sets on the P-I. Flickr: Csaila Today marks the final edition of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. From the paper itself: The Hearst Corp. announced Monday that it would stop publishing the 146-year old newspaper, Seattle’s oldest business, and cease delivery to more than 117,600 weekday readers. The company, however, said it would maintain seattlepi.com, making [...] -
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer R.I.P (Prelude: May the News Prevail)
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 1874. Flickr: Origins of History William Faulkner was a verbose dude, but in my opinion, his most poignant words came in his uncharacteristically concise 1950 Nobel Prize acceptance speech. I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal because he will endure: that [...] -
DC Voting Rights: Ken Starr Edition
Welcome to DC! Flickr: HeatherMG While the DC Voting Rights Act is stalled in the House due to the unfortunate gun amendment. I came across (via Rober Schlesinger) this editorial in The Utah Standard-Examiner by Ken Starr and Viet Dinh. Seems that even with the Prop 8 oral arguments only recently passed, Starr and his [...] -

Smart Grids… they’re like smart and think for us
May I quote the Department of Energy? Shazzam! Our century-old power grid is the largest interconnected machine on Earth, so massively complex and inextricably linked to human involvement and endeavor that it has alternately (and appropriately) been called an ecosystem. It consists of more than 9,200 electric generating units with more than 1,000,000 megawatts of [...]
