I Have A WaySouth Media, Inc. Online Dream
Posted in Atlanta Media, Misc, tagged WaySouth Media on January 25, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve had my own incorporated co for at least two years now. And the bank accounts, tax issues, headaches, small business owner dreams, etc. to go along with it. Yet I have sadly neglected my I-Priestess duties by failing to have the company’s web site built-out. So much for any SEO strategy.
While being a chronic [...]

New Staff Finds White House Lacking In Latest Technology
Posted in Seeds and Stems, tagged Obama staff, Technology, White House on January 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Moving into the White House, Obama’s folk found things not to their I-liking. More like seriously out-of-date and way behind the times. Reminds me of media in Atlanta. Such as the (now former) newspaper editor who once told me the Internet was “like CB radio.”

If A Media Blogger Is Thrown Out of Media Meeting And It’s Not On YouTube, Did It Really Happen?
Posted in Misc, Seeds and Stems, tagged Jeff Jarvis, media on January 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The only thing more pathetic than a media trade association “ejecting” an invited speaker from their meeting about changes in media is that no one taped the rather rude ejection process and put it on YouTube. What a bunch of slow-witted, pointless dinos. From media guru/blogger Jeff Jarvis’ (the ejectee) blog:
But after I finished talking [...]

If you’ve never worked a media project in Atlanta with Jeff Jeffares you’re either a hack or thirteen-years old. Jeff’s been creating ATL-related media since before Zeus had a lightening bolt. And he just keeps on going… this time with a directing gig at an Obama inaugural ball. From the AJC:
Next week, Jeffares will fly [...]

Posted in Misc, tagged Frost/Nixon, Matt Towery, movies, Nixon, politics on January 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A Presidency doomed… by a character drawn from lifelong bitterness and resentment over self-perceived “elitism?” Matt Towery, of Southern Political Report/InsiderAdvantage, has a few terribly interesting and highly unique comments about the riveting movie, Frost/Nixon.
Why so unique? Towery just so happened to have once met Nixon… and attended Cambridge. From Southern Political Report today:
Fast-forward to [...]
