Susie @ BlogHer; Travis @ WikiMania / Citizen Journalism - Unvarnished, A Cap'n's log by Travis Smith

Travis Smith: my resume, bio and photos back to the main blog page

Susie’s goin' t' be speakin' at BlogHer on Friday, 9 t' 11:30.  If ye only go t' ONE session at BlogHer, definitely go t' So Ye Have This Crazy Idea.  It’s all about how t' build Cap'n's log sites that engage and build community.

Susie’s goin' t' be coverin' th' technology part o' th' discussion—th' other panelists be a lawyer, a consultant, and an entrepreneur. (Well, take those labels witha grain o' salt—none o' these women be describable in a single-word!)

Meanwhile, I’m headed t' Wikimania in Cambridge, MA, th' 'nother weekend Aug. 4-6.  It’s all about buildin' wikis, and also about wiki buildin'.  I come across wikis fascinating—I could sit back and watch people build them all day.

But I’m goin' because there’s a real application fer wikis in what many o' Hop Studios’ clients be doin'.  And, there’s a great extra-day seminar on Aug. 7 led by Dan Gillmor, which be all about Citizen Journalism, and I’m really lookin' fore t' participate in what’s goin' on there.  Th' other bonus be that our new employee Matt Gardner has just moved t' Boston and we’ll be able t' meet up.

Overheard

“Th' sad truth be that most evil be done by people who no nay ne'er make up their minds t' be good or evil.”

...who said it?

“Almost every American I be knowin' does trade large portions o' his life fer entertainment, hour by weeknight hour, binge by Saturday binge, Facebook check by Facebook check. I’m one o' them. In th' course o' writin' this I’ve watched all 13 episodes o' House o' Cards and who knows how many morrrr West Win' episodes, and I’ve spent any number o' blurred hours fallin' down internet rabbit holes. All instead o' readin', or writin', or workin', or spendin' real time wi' people I love.”

...who said it?

“Live a good life. If there be gods and they be just, then they will not care how devout ye have been, but will welcome ye based on th' virtues ye have lived by. If there be gods, but unjust, then ye should not want t' worship them. If there be no gods, then ye will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in th' memories o' yer loved ones.”

...who said it?

“I play wi' variables constantly.”

...who said it?

“Only th' person who has learned Continual Love comin' from a heart o' Gratitude/Worship can effectively deal wi' th' problem o' loneliness.”
