I'm still here.

I feel like my last few posts have gotten a bit off-topic--I intend for this blog to be mainly about communicating, not just about myself. Anyhoo...

For my marketing friends (I still don't know if I include myself here) I've been meaning to mention the Gaping Void blog for awhile. It's the blog of a London-based marketing guy. It's worth checking out just for his business-card cartoons, but he also links to a lot of cutting-edge web-based marketing people.

And I think it's about time for my inevitable monthly link to Framing Science. I think I actually shouted out loud when I saw the Sports Illustrated cover on global warming. Awesome. If there's one communications thing that bothers me, it's preaching to the choir about music, and this most certainly is not. In any sense of that awkward metaphor.

Well, over on my new favorite website, Culinate, there is a review of a --I guess you could call it a debate--between food and agriculture writer Michael Pollen, and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey. Apparently, Mackey impressed the Berkeley crowd with his commitment to reforming the food system.

What got me especially (no surprise to anyone who heard me ramble on about Spinach and e.coli last semester) was his classification of Earthbound Farm as a group of small organic farms banding together under one brand name, allowing him to say that 78% of Whole Foods produce comes from small farms. I call bull...

Busy signal...

Today I joined not one, but two social networking sites-- Pownce and Ravelry . I'm geeking out, even though I'm on dial-up, and am probably going to end up spending the entire weekend adding my knitting projects to Ravelry. Oh, I didn't mention is was a knitting network? Yeah, I meant it when I said I was geeking out. But not before I finish Harry Potter...

He leaves "apropos" in the dust.

All the H.U. graduates in the audience (hello? anyone?) know to which theater professor I'm referring to above. I've now found a man that puts his verbal stutter to shame. I now have a professor that says "okayyy?" at the end of EVERY SENTENCE. In an unspecified Eastern European accent. Also? "Relatability" does NOT mean "related to." Someone tell the class. (Yes, I am being a bad student and emailing during class. Ahh, wireless campus.)
