Commented Nov 16, 2009 at 14:11:35 in Books

Why Publishers are Like Venture Capitalists
Commented Oct 19, 2009 at 16:21:41 in Books
“Mark--I agree. This is why after a year and a half of trying get a rep for a book I put a year (and 7 rewrites) into I'm going to go with Smashwords. I think we're at the tipping point here--much the same way mySpace and iTunes changed the music industry forever, publishers like Smashwords are going to revolutionize the publishing model as we know it. Thanks, Mark.”

4.5 lessons from Twitter
Commented Mar 24, 2009 at 13:40:22 in Media
“As much as I respect your work, I just cannot see the value of Twitter. It strikes me as a time-waster (this coming from a fan of FaceBook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites) and a digital cornucopia of the trivial. There's a point when its just not productive anymore, isn't there? I know I'm probably like King Canute here, but I just don't see it as anything of value. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate my opinion and look closer. http://ber

“You know, if you're afraid of people saying you're not cool because you dont tweet, just respond with, "John McCain tweets. My grandmother tweets. Is that cool?" I just thank God old people jumped on this so early. It would have been a lot harder to convince people what a waste of brain this is withouth them. Thanks old folks!

What If Jon Stewart, Instead of John King, Interviewed Dick Cheney
Commented Mar 17, 2009 at 16:32:23 in Media
“Perhaps if the American networks had the stones to hire Greg Palast we would see the kind of real journalism we desperately need.”
mari2JJ replied on Mar 17, 2009 at 16:46:07
“If Christ Himself interviewed Cheney he would probably still tell these whoppers. Sad to say, Cheney's entire value system is so skewed that he is able to do anything, including evil sorts of behavior, that he finds totally acceptable. One has to have a well developed and sensitive conscience to be able to choose what is right. Obviously, Cheney's values are so distorted he could tell a bold faced lie and still pass a lie detector test because of his very distorted value system. Poor, poor thing. He has a lot to explain to his maker. Sad to say, the Cheney cabal that includes his echo chamber, George W. Bush, has joined the Hitler group of torturers.”
