* Culture will no longer come from centralized sources of mass media.
* Blogs will give mainstream media more competition, but won't replace them

Goldstein: Does Playing Violent Video Games Cause Aggressive Behavior?
"DOES PLAYING VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES CAUSE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR?"
27 October 2001
Jeffrey Goldstein, Ph.D.
University of Utrecht, The Netherlands
Some social psychologists argue that playing violent video games causes aggressive behavior, among other things (desensitization to violence, disinhibition of violence, belief in a ‘scary world,’ acquisition of cognitive schemas supportive of aggression). Three types of evidence are said to converge in support of this conclusion: correlational studies, field studies (which are typically correlational in nature), and laboratory experiments.
Correlational studies can tell us nothing about whether violent video games cause aggression. Even if we accept that there is a correlation between amount of time spent playing (violent) video games and aggressive behavior, there is no reason to think that games are the cause of aggression (Anderson & Dill, 2000; Colwell & Payne, 2000; Roe & Muijs, 1998). Furthermore, some correlational studies find no significant relationship with aggression (e.g., Sacher, 1993; van Schie & Wiegman, 1997)."

cat haiku
cat haiku: "You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.
The rule for today:
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.
In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.
Grace personified.
I leap into the window.
I meant to do that.
Blur of motion, then --
silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?
The mighty hunter
Returns with gifts of plump birds --
your foot just squashed one.
You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore my
sitting on your hands.
My small cardboard box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.
Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a 'term paper?'
Small brave carnivores
Kill pine cones and mosquitoes,
Fear vacuum cleaner
I want to be close
to you. Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
Wanna go outside.
Oh, poop! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!
Oh no! Big One
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!
Humans are so strange.
Mine lies still in bed, then screams;
My claws are not that sharp.

You Had Me At Hello: The Art of the Pitch
Notes from the session at
Third Coast International Audio Festival
October 22, 2005
Panel:
Neil Sandel of CBC’s OutFront Canadians telling their own stories.
Chris Turpin of NPR’s All Things Considered
Julie Snyder of This American Life
Jeremy Skeet of American Public Media
Neil asks: What do you NOT want to hear in a pitch?
Chris: “I’ve got a 52 week series...” or any unwieldy, inappropriate material
Julie: “I write like David Sedaris” or “I want to go and see what happens” – i.e., no plan. And -- sorry -- Julie doesn’t want to go and have coffee with you.
Jeremy: “All Things Considered turned this piece down.” Or “She is not alone. There are many like her.”
Neil: “This is perfect for your show.” Or sucking up.
Neil: Understand: this is a marketing exercise. Hardware customers do not buy a drill bit; they buy a hole in something. Customers do not buy things; they buy benefits. What are you buying?
Chris: Possibilities. The possibility of some great radio. A compelling story. We are also buying some relief for our staff; we run around 100 pieces a week and we have a small staff. We need good independents. We are also buying integrity.
Julie: Same for us. We are glad to see signs of competiency at the pitch, but we do make a point of working with the inexperienced who bring access or some other unique value. We will assign a producer and go out and do it with you.
Jeremy: The BBC has 5 to 10 people, all in LA. We are buying you to beour eyes and ears. We need independents.
Neil: What can people do to make their pitches better?
Julie: Send us a good story. From the first sen6tence. Your resume, your clips, are not required. But Story and Characters especially. Interesting, surprising in some way, in conflict. What is surprising storyline, what is surprising to you. In the pitch, you need to get to it quickly or at least foreshadow it quickly.
Chris Turpin: I want to see clear focus. Show us you have a sense of what to do. It helps if the pitch is nicely written – we take that as a sign that you can do it. A muddled idea, on the other hand, is off-putting.
Jeremy: imagine the lead. How does this fit? What would Ira be saying? Put your mind into what we are thinking. Also check to see if it has been on NPR recently. And don’t bury time facts; if it has to run this weekend we need to know that. Tell us that. Use common sense.
Neil: your process?
Jeremy: we’ll have 40 to 50 pitches in a document, and we meet and go over it on Monday.
Julie: If I like your idea, I try to get the pitch you sent me to a the point where I can in turn pitch it to the 7 other people I work with at our Monday morning meeting. If I think it is good, I will email with you probably a few times to get details. I know what the others will ask. I become your advocate in that meeting. So I am trying to shape it up. If they are going to say your character is unlikeable, or she sounds crazy, or in the end, who cares? I am going to press you for details before I go in so I can respond to that.
Neil: That’s probably the biggest thing, isn’t it? “Why should I care” about this character, this story.
Chris Turpin: We are more informal. I pass it around. I hand it off to the person who is most unlike me in their reactions to things. We are an eclectic program, and I don’t think my sensibility should govern.
Jeremy: In our funding agreement, we commit to 40% of our output coming from independents. 3 of us sit and Yes/No. Then there is a bigger meeting on how to do the story. Yes or Maybe. We will have our questions for you then.
Neil: How much detail is necessary in the pitch?
Julie: A lot of detail is helpful, to me. Anecdotal, narrative detail My pitch to the TAL staff will be anecdotal. I want to know the funny, sad -- the emotional moments help. I don’t mind a long pitch.
Chris: Detail? The amount can vary. It might be ten pages, though I have gone with a 1 line pitch – Iowa – politics and faith – great tape. We want great stories from natural story tellers. Some sense that you understand how you are going to tell it. But really: length of pitch should parallel length of piece. The stakes a lower, too, for a shorter piece. You have a much better chance of actually placing it.
Julie: I want to say something about ambition here. Just because YOU feel overwhelmed by it, don’t NOT pitch it. We might send someone with you, or if it really is clearly too much for you, we would pay you a finders fee and send someone else out to do it, and you would act as their producer.
Jeremy: if you’ve got tape anyway, tell us you’ve got tape. Or you know you’ve got something but you don’t know what it is, can you help me.
Chris: So easy to send files now. It shows us your strengths as a collaborator, that you know how to get good sound.
Neil: Stories set entirely in the past? No opportunity to have scenes unfolding?
Julie: Most of ours are that way.
Chris: Doesn’t matter; if it is a good story, and radio-friendly in the telling, ok.
Jeremy: News is previewed overmuch. The story by the time it unfolds is almost anticlimactic. But you have the ending, and now you can read something into it.

TCIAF: End of the conference.
We are introverts, for goodness sakes! We can't take all this interaction! I am spent; it's been two days only, but oddly draining. I know I'm not like the other children, but it is stressful for me to be among so many. My head plays tricks on me. It is as if I have forgotten how normal people act in large, anonymous communities like this one. Everything I do could be wrong. Of course it isn't. But it could be: that's what tuckers me out.

TRANSPUBLISHING
Ted Nelson's alternative to Creative Commons and GNULicensing is Transpublishing, in which quoted materials are displayed on the quoting page, but actually served from their original host server. Nelson argues that this skirts the issue of copyright because the original sits on a server and is never duplicated. Nelson thinks it's an easy concept.
