thoughts on the past and future of online journalism

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

    Gavin Admits He Likes Us

    Check this out: Our cute, hot mayor and #1 fan Gavin Newsom was caught on camera, and he admitted he liked the idea of having a pirate TV station in SF (Pirate Cat TV 13, of which I'm a founding member along with Monkey and Junglebook).

    Watch this quick video clip (shot by Junglebook on Saturday at the Fulton Street Fair) where Gavin comes out of the closet as a Pirate Cat fan.

    As if that's not enough magical multimedia surprise for you -- you should download this mash-up made by Pirate Cat Radio DJ The Rat. It's called "Bang On," and it mixes together "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" by Nancy Sinatra (which you may remember from the 'Kill Bill' soundtrack) with "Dream On" by Aerosmith and "In the Year 2525" by Zager and Evans.

    I think it's hauntingly beautiful.


    She certainly has some crazy mixed-up:
