Does Online Journalism Have a Future? -- share your thoughts

e a r c a n d y :

1. A guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron". Another person in New York emailed the MP3 to me in Nov. 2004. The narcissist in me loves the lyrics and the song itself is pretty darn catchy. Don't you think?

2. In 2005 I had a weekly radio show on Pirate Cat Radio 87.9 FM in San Francisco from 6-8p.m. on Friday nights. You can listen online from anywhere in the world. Or just check out our podcast.

3. Also, listen to my LAUNCHcast station

    3 Days Inside the Houston Astrodome

    This is surfer Hillary Mickell's excellent account of her 3 days spent in the Houston Astrodome.

    Also, graphic designer Kathleen Watkins spent a lot of time talking to survivors in the Astrodome and recounted the experience in this blog post.


    She certainly has some crazy mixed-up:
