I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling this way but wouldn’t it be great if there were more hours in the day? I would love to be able to do more and blog and vlog more but there’s always something that needs attention. Anyway, we decided to take a one-day weekday breather from our [...]

Salon Article Sums Up CurrentTV
Posted in PARTICIPATORY MEDIA, REPORTAGE, TV & RADIO on July 10, 2005 |
Farhad Manjoo asks good questions re CurrentTV in a Salon Article. It’s worth a read, the bottom line is why do we need television for this type of reportage when we have the web? Methinks the broadcast model is trying to be something it isn’t in this case which will leave the good vloggers solidly [...]

Apichatpong Weerasethakul get’s it. His use of image and sound design proffer no choice, you are his, captive for almost two hours of existential yearnings.
