So, last time I spoke about some of the best ways to think about using social media (SM). I gave some examples about how different companies are trying to use social interaction to gain affiliation with its customers, but we need to take a look at the darker, realistic side of SM. “Field of Dreams” has a lot to answer …
M-A-M™: Understanding Social Media
Way back in 1993 I started my doctoral dissertation on what was then known as “Computer Mediated Communication.” Nowadays it’s better known as “Social Media,” and even though I may have been 15 years too early with Web 2.0, before Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or MySpace, human nature hasn’t changed at all.
FCoE, iSCSI, and InfinBand – Oh My!
Over at Etherealmind, Greg Ferro wrote a couple of pieces on FCoE that beg to be responded to. Obviously Mr. Ferro understands a great deal about the storage world, but when it comes to FCoE there are some points that I must disagree with.
A Visit to the UK Doctor, Pt: II: My Eyes! My Eyes!
Okay, the first note was a little anecdote, intended to be amusing (which it was, *after* everything was all said and done). This next one… not so much.
A Visit to the UK Doctor, pt. 1 (of 2)
Some people have been asking about anecdotes about going to the NHS in England. This is what happened when I first got to the UK and had been there for 2 months.
Review: Imprisoned by the Prisoner, Part II
It’s worse than I thought. Originally in my previous post I was concerned about the loss of the spirit of the show, as the program was decidedly anti-corporation and the protagonist was weak, incapable, and extremely difficult to identify with. Little did I know that it could actually be *worse* than that.
Review: Imprisoned by the Prisoner, Part I
Patrick McGoohan, the co-creator, writer, and oft-director of the original “Prisoner” series in 1967, died in January of 2009. All I can say is that I’m glad he doesn’t have to see what’s been done to his beloved series.
Open Letter about Being Childfree
An old post/exchange with long-time blogger John Scalzi about being Childfree.
Review: Final Entry on “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be an Atheist”
After reading through 8 chapters and 217 pages I’ve finally decided that it is no longer worth the energy or effort trying to decipher or contextualize some of the worst and disingenuous writings on the Christianity/Atheism debate I’ve ever read.
Review: Ch. 8 of “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be an Atheist”
This chapter makes some of the most logical arguments regarding the existence of God, but also makes some of the most bizarre conclusions as well. In the scorebook we could almost call this chapter a draw, if the authors had actually made a point.
Review: Ch. 7 of “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be an Atheist”
In this chapter the authors are on much more familiar ground, discussing Moral Law as it pertains to some of the arguments atheists (and relativists) make. However, the authors’ binary solution (absolutism vs. relativism) illustrates some of the weaknesses in their own stance as well.
Review: Ch. 5 of “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be an Atheist”
For those people who are attempting to ask some serious questions about whether or not Christianity can provide answers that Atheism can not, this book professes to provide a guide to why Christianity requires less faith than Atheism. This is my response to Chapter 5 of that book, which deals with Evolution.
Review: Ch. 6 of “I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be an Atheist”
For those people who are attempting to ask some serious questions about whether or not Christianity can provide answers that Atheism can not, this book professes to provide a guide to why Christianity requires less faith than Atheism. However, as this chapter delves into Intelligent Design – and does so poorly – it leaves me wondering about the motivations and the manipulative nature of Christians, instead.
The Fair Tax in Pretty Pictures
There has been some confusion over “double taxation” and I thought that perhaps a simple graphic might be able to help visualize how this stuff works.
Entrepreneurs – Unsung Heroes
The debate over jobs and job creation nowadays has a much simpler solution.
