What if you’re a ‘South Park Democrat’?

Posted on by

The whole South Park Conservative thing doesn’t ring true for me except for a small subset of Conservatives, and certainly not those folks in Washington.

blonde sagacity, featured blog at Philly Future, has mentioned that she is a ‘South Park Conservative’. I believe her. She’s gotten hate mail from other ‘conservatives’ and ‘liberals’ alike. Her writting is challenging and open to dialog.

I’m a ‘South Park Democrat’.

So you ‘South Park Conservatives’ out there – can we be friends?

Can we call ourselves ‘South Park Citizens’ and dump the conservative/liberal division and talk?

Info overload functions as roadblock to better memory

In the The Pueblo Chieftain Online: “The problem is a loss of focus. People aren’t paying attention, aren’t taking the time to do one thing at a time and make the whole experience a permanent memory. “We are on overload right now,” she says. WWhen things happen to us, when you look back at the time a person is engaging in an event, they’re not 100 percent focused on the event – in today’s world, especially.””

I’m guilty of this.

Privacy, what’s that?

A Whole Lotta Nothing: Strange, Troubling Privacy. OK, I’m officially freaked out. Even though I knew this was coming a long time ago. Hmmmm… who do I want to do background checks on? Hmmmmmm….

Technology brings the cost of so many things down to the average Joe. Including being outright evil.

There should be a law that you are informed whenever a background check takes place on you – so that you are aware of potential evil coming your way.

And yes, no doubt about it – this is evil.

Speaking of evil, The MIT Guide to lockpicking looks like it can come in handy someday. Heh.

Compassionate conservatives indeed. The spineless Democrats that joined them should be ashamed of themselves.

Oh, I forgot, there is no such thing as shame anymore is there?

Google becomes a media company

Posted on by

Google’s new video service, that allows you to upload, share, and sell your own works, sounds like a powerful tool, not only for professional video producers, but for hobbiests, bloggers, and more. Google gets to become a media company with the content produced by users of its service.

As always, there is a discussion at Metafilter worth checking out.

I think folks should be contrasting and comparing this to OurMedia.org another video distribution service, but one with vastly different terms of service and copyright requirements.
